So apparently "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart doesn't want to be like a certain Oscar-winning UN ambassador who has given birth to Brad Pitt's children. "I don't want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie," KStew told the British magazine Fabulous.

If you ask me, Angelina has a pretty darn impressive personal and professional resume — one nearly any human being on earth would kill to possess — but, hey, who am I to question Kristen's dreams and nightmares? I've admired her gritty acting talents since 2002's "Panic Room," and with "New Moon" coming up in a matter of weeks, her career is only on the rise. But if she doesn't want to model her career after Angie, who should she aspire to be? And, almost as important, whose Hollywood fate should she do everything she can to avoid?

If someone were to ask you whom the best investment a studio could make for their leading lady in a film, your best guess probably wouldn’t be Naomi Watts. But according to Forbes, the actress best known for her role in “The Ring” offers the best bang for her buck, even more so than Angelina Jolie.

Forbes compiled their top 10 list based on the 100 biggest female stars in Hollywood who have starred in at least three films in the past five years that opened in more than 500 theaters. That rules out most art films, to translate the business lingo. They then calculated each star’s earnings per movie based on their upfront pay, earnings from box office receipts, and DVD and TV sales. This was weighted against a calculated operating income for each film. Still following?

Vanessa Hudgens seems to be a pro at being the center of attention as she has now become a cover girl three times this summer (First on Parade, then on InStyle Makeover).

Vanessa hits the cover of Allure magazine for the October issue (see the her fill cover image after the jump) to dish about her new "Angelina Jolie" role and clears the air about her future wedding to boyfriend Zac Efron. The paparazzi are always swarming around Vanessa, but she admits she is not the typical Hollywood star, and even bought a new wig to try to keep her life "normal". She told Allure, “I hate the whole see-and-be-seen feeling. I just hate knowing that people are looking at me. We can understand how she would want some privacy, especially after her recent nude photo scandal.

Iconizing the modern Hollywood heartthrob, Brad Pitt has appeared on Hottest, Sexiest and Most Powerful lists in every magazine from People to Elle to Premiere. Most recently, he was ranked #10 in Forbes' The Celebrity 100 list (his gal pal, Angelina was #3), which can be attributed to a combination of his impressive career history, extensive amounts of charity involvement across the globe and, of course, his sexy persona. In his two decade career, Brad has cemented himself as one of the greatest actors of our generation, and with "Inglorious Basterds," his star is sure to shine for many years to come.

Click on the photo below to see how Mr. Pitt got his start (hint:"Growing Pains" and "21 Jump Street") and where else his career has taken him along the way. Then, keep reading for more on his Hollywood history (which, let's be honest, specifically surrounds his real-life female counterparts) after the jump.

What better time than the premiere of Quentin Tarantinos "Inglorious Basterds" to whip out the leather? At least, that's what we figure Angelina Jolie's thought process was when she threw on her black Michael Kors strapless dress and put the rest of womankind to shame walking down the red carpet. After all, she has Brad Pitt on her arm, so it couldn't be for the same reason she wore a similar Versace number to the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" premiere.

All kidding aside, Brangelina looked sexy and very much in love walking down the red carpet at the "Basterds" premiere in Hollywood last night. He even went as far to sport a black leather jacket to complete their ensemble. We'll ignore those slightly graying beard hairs if hell unbutton that shirt a little more.

This week Forbes released its annual Celebrity 100 list ranking the world's most powerful celebrities, including a rundown of the silver screen's highest paid actresses. The top 10 was fairly predictable (actress/ambassador Angelina Jolie took the No. 1 spot), but there were a few surprises (uh, where's Julia Roberts?). Take a look at the full list below:

1. Angelina Jolie, $27 million
2. Jennifer Aniston, $25 million
3. Meryl Streep, $24 million
4. Sarah Jessica Parker, $23 million
5. Cameron Diaz, $20 million
6. Sandra Bullock, $15 million
7. Reese Witherspoon, $15 million
8. Nicole Kidman, $12 million
9. Drew Barrymore, $12 million
10. Renee Zellweger, $10 million

Being the curious folks that we are at Hollywood Crush, we started wondering how this list would shape up 10 years from now, when many of today's tweeners will have come of age and cinema staples like Angelina and Jennifer might be slowing down. While we have no idea how to calculate dollar amounts (we're journalists, duh!), here's a list — and accompanying flipbook — of our best guess at who will be at the top of the marquee in 2019.
