Gemma Ward Retires from the Runway

Posted on 11 November 2009 by Kat

This is just tragic.  Upon weight-gain rumors that flooded the internet, Gemma Ward has reportedly decided to retire from modeling.

Gemma-Ward

The supermodel, who was romantically linked to Heath Ledger, disappeared from the fashion industry after his passing in January 2008.

Last week, The Sunday Telegraph reported that Ward was seen on the New York party circuit, celebrating her 22nd birthday with Sports Illustrated model Jessica Gomes.

One source told the publication:

“I was really surprised when I saw her, considering what she used to look like – I had to do a double-take after I saw how much weight she had put on.”

Fashion fans and critics have been attacking the young model’s weight for months now.  A spokeswoman for Viviens Modeling Agency announced that Gemma (who once was criticized for being too THIN) – has no immediate plans to return to the runway, saying:

“Gemma hasn’t committed to returning to modeling at any time soon.”

In 2007, Gemma raked in $3 million and was ranked the 11th highest-paid supermodel in the world by Forbes.

The runway will surely miss her.

Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart

Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart

According to Forbes, Will Smith and Cameron Diaz are on the top of the charts for being the highest paid actors in 2007.

Will Smith brought in $80 million last year, with 10% of that goes to that creepy scientology society of his. Cameron Diaz is the highest paid female actress getting paid $50 million. (Why? I still haven’t been able to figure it out. If I never saw her in another movie for the rest of my life, it would still be too soon).

The 5 most overpaid actors in Hollywood:

Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart1. Will Smith- $80 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart2. Johnny Depp – $72 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart3. Eddie Murphy – $55 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart4. Mike Myers – $55 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart5. Leonardo DiCaprio – $45 million

The 5 most overpaid actresses in Hollywood:

Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart1. Cameron Diaz – $50 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart2. Keira Knightley – $32 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart3. Jennifer Aniston- $27 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart4. Reese Witherspoon – $25 million
Will Smith & Cameron Diaz Top The Forbes Chart5. Gweneth Paltrow – $25 million

Can someone please explain to me why some of these people make so much money? I mean Eddie Murphy hasn’t made a decent movie in like a decade. And although there are still some people still bitter about the Jennifer Aniston/ Brad Pitt break-up, their is no way that Jen should make $27 million while Angie gets a mere $14 million. I would take Angie over Jen any day.
