I think recent leaks about these two celebrities and their contractual
difficulties with studios/production houses indicates that Hollywood is
trying to come to grips with overpaid actors who are taking an
increasingly bigger part of the pie. It's interesting that both the
Lohan and Cruise cases were made so public and show Hollywood "biting
the hand that feeds it." In many ways, these two cases remind me of
Jack Warner and Bette Davis arguing over her contract. In those times,
the stars had much less power and the studios had a tremendous amount
of control. Today, the stars have all the power and the studios
probably are in positioning to re-assert themselves in the marketplace.
