Jennifer Lawrence tops list of highestpaid actresses
LOS ANGELES - The odds really were in Jennifer Lawrence’s favor last year as she raked in $52 million, topping a ranking of the highest-paid actresses by a wide margin. The “Hunger Games” star easily surpassed the $35.5 million second-place Scarlett Johansson earned over the past 12 months, according to Forbes magazine’s annual estimates of the earnings of Hollywood’s top female stars, released Thursday. All told, four women made more than $20 million from their acting and endorsements, before taxes and fees, while 21 male actors did, underlining a lingering pay gap in Tinseltown. Forbes pointed to the discrep-
ancy in profit cuts between the male and female -- including Lawrence -- actors in the 2013 film “American Hustle” as an example. The male leads were reported to have taken home a two percent higher cut than the female leads. The magazine also noted the lesser number of female lead roles in general, saying it was rarer for women to score the sort of big blockbusters that command huge deals won by some male counterparts, for instance Tom Cruise in “Mission: Impossible” or Robert
Downey Jr. in “Iron Man.” Downey Jr. blew away his male counterparts in Forbes’ rankings of the top-paid male stars, released earlier this month, raking in $80 million. At 25, Lawrence is one of the youngest stars in Hollywood. She won an Oscar for her role in the 2012 comedy “Silver Linings Playbook.” Many more established actresses, such as Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock -- last year’s highest-earning actress -got most of their earnings over the past 12 months from endorsements rather than movies. One international star made the 2015 list -- Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. (afp)

Racy fan photos spur security for Nicki Minaj wax figure LAS VEGAS — A wax figure of rapper Nicki Minaj at a Las Vegas museum is getting more security to keep away inappropriate visitors. Madame Tussauds Las Vegas said in a statement Friday that employees will closely monitor the figure after images of visitors in sexual poses with the statue began appearing on social media. The set around the statue will also undergo a redesign so similar pictures can’t be taken. The museum says it became aware Tuesday of at least one image online. The statue depicts Minaj in a pose from her “Anaconda” music video. The Madame Tussauds museum chain is known for life-size wax replicas of celebrities that guests can interact with. Minaj has not commented, but she recently shared Instagram photos of fans posing suggestively with the figure. (ap)

Investment in Badung hotels, unabaiting MANGUPURA - Of Bali’s nine counties, Badung is by far the favourite among investors. The Bali Investment and Licensing Agency (BPMP) notes that 39 projects worth USD 13,540,700 drew foreign and domestic investors to Badung in the first quarter of 2015. The City of Denpasar alone had 12 projects worth USD 719,500 invested in for the same period.
The Head of the Badung Integrated Licensing Office (BPPT), I Made Sutama, said: “Tourism is the dominant sector demanded by investors.” Investments in the tourism sector are also evidenced by the high number of new hotel rooms: for the past
five years 5,000-6,000 new rooms were created each year, so that there is now a total of 61, 206 hotel rooms in Badung. Of that number, 98 of them are star hotels with 16,360 rooms which is about the same number as it was 5 years ago. However, non-star
hotels have seen a dramatic increase in number. In 2009 there were 505 hotels with a total of 11,463 rooms but by 2014 there were 855 hotels with 34,815 rooms. Continued in page 2 Permit...
