How much is too much? Forbes.com knows. The website published its annual list of the Most Overpaid Actors atwww.forbes.com/overpaidactors.

Eddie Murphy tops the list, with recent flops such as Imagine That, A Thousand Words and Meet Dave. The actor-comedian, whose net worth was estimated at $80 million as of June 2012, carries the lowest return on investment (ROI) of 2.3; meaning, for every $1 Murphy was paid for his last three films, his films returned an average of $2.3. The former SNL star is followed by Katherine Heigl, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock and Jack Black.

Nonstop trouble

Katt Williams is pulling a Lindsay Lohan. The comedian told the AP he was ordered to leave a Seattle Courtyard Marriott late Monday, hours after he was released from jail following a dispute. Williams was released from jail early Monday after cops say he argued with a patron at a bar and menaced the manager with a pool cue the night before. Williams was also accused of flicking a cigarette into a woman’s face through a car window and throwing a rock at her.

Online feud

Rob Kardashian really has taken things public with his ex Rita Ora. To Twitter. The reality brother posted that the UK singer made him get her pregnant but since deleted the comment. Ora diplomatically told Glamour UK that distance was to blame for their breakup. It is unclear if she miscarried or if she was even pregnant at all.

Go team!

The reason Nick Lachey was kicked out of a football game over the weekend has emerged. The new dad told his Twitter followers he was escorted out of the San Diego Chargers stadium after showing his home team, the Cincinnati Bengals, too much love. Lachey also said a fellow game-goer bothered him, and things escalated. “’I simply don’t appreciate someone turning around and putting their finger in my face. Call me crazy, but that deserved a reaction.”

Growing pains

Holly Madison is suffering the same fate as Kate Middleton. The former Girls Next Door star, 32, was hospitalized Monday for complications due to morning sickness, she confirmed via Twitter. But Madison is almost seven months along and Middleton is less than 12 weeks, meaning she is still in the first trimester, when moms-to-be face the most risk. Symptoms of extreme morning sickness include excessive vomiting, nausea and dehydration.
