Forbes Underestimates Sandler, Power of Hummus
Forbes released their "Celebrity 100" this week and along with the usual top earners is the list of this year's drop-offs—celebs whose lackluster year got them booted from the list, people like Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, and Jeff Foxworthy. One slightly awkward choice: Adam Sandler, who Forbes concluded had "failed to lure blockbuster audiences—or blockbuster buzz—this past year." Too bad the kids at Forbes went to the press with their list last week. Before, that is, You Don't Mess with The Zohan came out, which garnered surprisingly good reviews (for a stupid comedy anyway) and did pretty well in receipts, too. The movie was No. 2 at the box office last weekend, raking in more than $40 million.
