Do Sheen and Heigl Deserve TV's Biggest Bucks?

A new survey by Forbes Magazine names Charlie Sheen and Katherine Heigl as TV's best-paid actors. The Two and a Half Men cut-up earned $20 million in 2007, while Heigl pulled in $13 mil for her rotation on Grey's Anatomy. (It would seem the quality of her boss' paychecks was up to snuff, yes.)

Of course, that's all parking valet tip money compared to what their counterparts in the movie biz are taking home. Will Smith was the big screen's biggest earner for the year, depositing $80 million into his bank account. Among the men, he was followed by Johnny Depp (a bargain at $72 mil) and Eddie Murphy (overpriced at $55 mil).

Cameron Diaz was Hollywood's best-paid actress for 2007, earning $50 mil. Keira Knightley placed No. 2 with $32 mil, followed by Jennifer Aniston ($27 mil).

In the category of "media personalities," Oprah of course dominated, raking in $275 million for the year.

What's your take? Who delivers the best value for the greenbacks? - Matt Mitovich
