"After applauding Jennifer Lawrence’s essay about wage disparity between men and women in Hollywood, Bradley Cooper says he wants to begin teaming up with his female co-stars to negotiate salaries before any film he’s interested in doing goes into production."

"Bradley believes the only way to end the gender pay gap is for he and his peers to start a dialogue. 'Usually you don’t talk about the financial stuff, you have people.' he told Reuters. 'But you know what? It’s time to start doing that.'

Should be interesting to see how this strain of SJW activism plays out.

If a woman wants to increase her pay as an actress she needs to become more popular.

Basic economics doesn't care about your feelings.

If there is anyone who can get top dollar, actor or actress in Hollywood right now, it's Jenni Laurence. She is what, 23, multiple blockbusters with the Hunger Games series, x-men series, silver linings playbook, American Hustle, etc

If she is saying that the male stars on her movies are getting more money than her, she needs a better agent. If she thinks she isn't getting enough money now, just wait until she is 40 and no one wants to see her ugly face on screen.

I don't get what he is up to here. If you are right and he is gay and in Hollywood, he would be a part of the gay mafia, where his loyalty is always against women and blindly supporting gay men in any conflict. Not that I know *that* much about it, but if he were closet gay, he would not be helping out women to get paid more money.

I have personally seen what he does and who he does at various clubs. His "closet gayness" is not so obvious to me.

It's meritocracy. If having big-ticket male actors on the bill sells more tickets at the box office then no amount of bitching is going to change that. JLaw should get a better agent if she wants higher pay, or let her career mature a little more. I'm sure she is making plenty more than a lot of other male actors who aren't as big as she is - is she willing to ask for less to level the playing field for them? pshhhh

American feminist are hysterical. Women are getting forced clitorectimies is Muslim countries, and you don't hear one peep but they bitch about multimillionaires needing more millions (and air conditioning, and man spreading etc).

Jennifer Lawrence needs to check her privilege.

Let's break this down:

• Hunger Games series - based on a wildly popular book. It probably would have done well anyway. The first 3 Transformers movies were not big hits because of Shia LeBoeuf - you could have switched her with Scarlett Johansen or Mila Kunis and the film still would have done well.
• X-men series - Successful series of movies long before she had anything to do with them. Wasn't well known when casted for X-Men First Class..almost certainly penned a multi movie deal when she was unknown, so she’s not getting paid well for the movies.
• Silver linings playbook - OK that maybe should have been closer to a 50/50 split with Bradley Cooper, but he had more to do in the movie
• American Hustle - more of an ensemble piece and Christian Bale (definitely) and Jeremy Renner (maybe) are bigger stars than her
  

If anything most actresses are overpaid. The biggest stars are almost all male.

The fact of the matter is that nowadays there’s barely any actors left who can now “open” a movie. A couple of years ago the names Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise guaranteed $100M+ US Box office, but that’s no longer the case. This is why Hollywood now makes a lot of moves which are based on comic books, franchises or cartoons, they’re trying to get people in via their interest in the franchise, not the actor.

obviously this only discourages studios from hiring women. makes it more of a pain in the ass to deal with them.

really any female at any level you're walking on eggshells trying to avoid lawsuits and accusations from a myriad of laws you're not even aware of.

Given studios are already cutting their budgets, making the 'talent' more difficult to work with just puts more women out of work in Hollywood.

Jennifer Lawrence made over 50 million last year.

Did Bradley Cooper even make that much?

Post: #12

Cool, maybe they will pay these actresses more money. Raising ticket prices. And in a bad economy and no end in sight, then there should be less and less people lining up to pay money to watch their liberal drivel trash films.

Or maybe they will just decide to pay big mouth Bradley Cooper less money to match his female co-stars.

Could be genuine hound doggery, could be careful image management. Dude's an actor, after all. Your call. I recently got hit on by an Industry Player well known for both his long-lasting marriage despite his multiple recorded instances of hound-dogging with beautiful women.

Something is just... off and lacking... about Cooper, as this kind of White Knighting suggests. I wouldn't trust him with my back based on his body language.

Over half of Americans don't have $1,000 in savings, but naturally the MSM keeps them arguing about pay disparities among the millionaire elites who get paid to make faces at cameras. The longer they can divide and deceive the working class with this "pay gap" nonsense, the better for them.

Also, the way Jennifer Lawrence goes on about how those millions from American Hustle were divvied up, you'd almost think that movie was not an aimless, dull, pseudo-Scorsese-jerkoff 2-star POS that mercifully got BTFO at the Oscars and has been choking the life out of the bargain bins at Walmart ever since.

Ugh, yeah, if she made 50M last year, she can cry me a river. She will be getting those sorts of paydays so long as people keep watching the Hunger Games movies and X men movies. Get a better agent honey

^^YES!!! That flick (I only made it through the first ~40 minutes) FUCKING SUCKED ASS!!! What a piece of shit. And "JLaw" was annoying as all fuck in it. Somehow, I don't think the annoying hemorrhoid she "played" in the flick was a real stretch for her...

First I thought that Bradley Cooper was a porn star who took his chance to jump on the bandwagon to demand equal pay in the adult industry.

Female porn stars are making like 10 times more than male?

Feminist women are just like 'we want, we want, we want' but never to give something up. It's stupid how many people that are actually buying that crap even amongst men.

She made like 53 million dollars this year. That would make her the second highest paid actor or actress in Hollywood outside of Robert Downey Jr, and that dude has lucrative endorsements with HTC.

She's also (by far) the youngest in the top 10 or even top 20 highest paid in Hollywood list. If you're not a complete dumbass in terms of wealth then youth is arguably more valuable than money in terms of compound interest, and she has both in spades.

This supposed essay that J-law had ghostwritten wrote is almost the most quintessential American-feminist dialogue that you could find to typify the cumulative body of feminist thought and literature in the last sixty years - unnaturally over-privileged wealthy white women whining about first world problems.

Post: #21

Man, women are getting ridiculous with this "wage gap".

So Jennifer Lawrence is mad that she made less than her male co-stars who are much more experienced and popular than her.

What wage gap?

Bradley Cooper needs to STFU and stop white-knighting for this delusional idiot.

Holy fuck. That movie got 10 Oscar nominations?

When I saw the preview I thought it would be awesome. Then I watched it and what a big pile of shit that movie was. So fucking boring.

I've never watched or paid any attention to the Oscars, or any of those awards, but the fact that movie even got nominated for 10 awards tells me that those awards are total bullshit, or US cinema is crap right now, which it is.

Bradley Cooper is just getting more popular. He's not gay. Female fans galore but now, even more female fans. I see it as good game.

Think of it this way. He's feeding the media what he needs to get more followers and likes. Everyone wins.

This won't affect the pay gap because it's a publicity stunt.

I used to really like Jennifer Lawrence because she's around my age and sexy as hell. Now, her and Emma Watson are hopping on the feminist/patriarchy bandwagon because they want to be an "inspiration" to young women everywhere. They want to spread the false belief that women don't earn enough as men. Like Rio said, it's basic economics; if you are popular, you will star in more movies, hence earn more money. They live in a fantasy world. Regular people, do not have the opportunity to make more money at their jobs because people like you. These women need to hop off their high horses.
