So if they change The Rock’s title to star will that make it better? Sorry but the Rock has way more box office power than Blunt and if they’re making some shitty Jungle Cruise movie he’s going to be the face of it. 

I’m curious why they should be paid the same? Just because they are co-stars? I love Emily blunt, but Dwayne brings in a lot more money. Your money is based on how much you brought in on your last movies no? Just like everything in life. If you can bring in X you get paid Y, if you bring in X+100 you get paid Y+100

Some of The Rock’s pay comes from his social media following, which allows him to promote his projects (for better or worse). He has 126million Instagram followers vs Emily Blunts 0 followers on Instagram (she has no official account). She has 4,300 twitter followers vs The Rock’s 13.1million followers. Not arguing…

Fair or unfair, it doesn’t necessarily matter how talented you are, it only matters what sort of box draw you have (as you said) and name recognition. Everyone knows who the Rock is, but I’d wager that only a third of the US population would have a good idea of who Emily Blunt is. There’s “commercially successful,”…

Dwayne Johnson should be the highest paid in any movie he does.  He is the box office draw.  So in this instance, I don’t see anything wrong here.

He gets paid more than everyone in every movie he makes. This just makes it look like the writer doesn’t understand the economics of fame. 

I’m 100% OK with this. There isn’t a person alive that sells more tickets than The Rock. Blunt is a great actress, but she’s just not on that level. 

Proof of the issue: would I go see a movie with Emily Blunt? Not necessarily.  Would I go see one with The Rock?  Not necessarily. Done, equal pay for all!

This is absurd. As much as I’m all about closing the Gender pay gap, the Rock is the biggest box office star of the day. And Emily Blunt, well she’s the chick who was kinda good in the Devil Wears Prada and the person who maybe ruins Mary Poppins for me. People flock to films for the Rock. Maybe Emily Blunt will…

Obviously I don’t really care, because Melania sucks, but I wonder if she and her staff are being treated with the same respect as previous FLOTUS’. It seems they’re not, which is fine because all of these people deserve to be miserable. 

My personal hot take has been to lower the rim like 6 inches and move the tres out to the NBA’s, to open up the above-rim game. WNBA starts dunking and alleyoops and crazy rebounding fights and I AM THERE

Does it really imply that? Does these young men’s potential to “shape the world,” necessarily exclude other people from having the potential to shape the world? This headline seems like a really silly thing to be up in arms about, sorry.

Not sure how you equate a person’s indifference towards the treatment of death row inmates to the actions of an actual dictator. You’re crying about people in prison who were sentenced to death by our collectively established legal system. Maybe step back and think of the victims and the families of the victims that…

No, it should be Courtney Stodden.

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

I love how no one here wants to talk about this woman’s multiple criminal convictions and prior deportations. Yes it is not ideal that she was picked up at a domestic violence hearing, instead she should have been deported (again) before getting abused.

Good! ICE followed their policy and now there are 2 less homeless illegal immigrants

did the cockroaches survive? I’m told they’ll always survive!

Very true that this study doesn't account for productivity. But neither do many jobs. Many jobs bill or pay by the hour, making those who spend more time at work more valuable.
