    By Peter Gicas, Eonline

    Eddie Murphy is No. 1! Unfortunately, not in a good way. Forbes has just released its list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors, and the star of such films (read: flops) as "Imagine That," "A Thousand Words," "Meet Dave" and "Tower Heist" landed in the top spot.

    The magazine based its selections on how much a celeb was paid for his or her recent projects and compared it to what the movies actually made in ticket sales. (Who deserves their paycheck the most? Vote below!)

    So, with Murphy, it was calculated that for every dollar Murphy was paid for his last three films, they only returned an average of $2.30 at the box office.

    Coming in second was "One for the Money" star Katherine Heigl. Her recent flicks only generated an average of $3.40 for every dollar she was paid.

    Meanwhile, Reese Witherspoon placed third with an average $3.90 return for every dollar she was paid, stemming from such movies as 2010's "How Do You Know" and the recent "This Means War."

    Rounding out the list?

    Sandra Bullock, Jack Black, Nicolas Cage, Adam Sandler, Denzel Washington, Ben Stiller and Sarah Jessica Parker.

    Josh Kelley and Katherine Heigl

    By Us Weekly

    Izzy named her baby Addie! Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley have been very quiet about their recently adopted daughter. But now, a rep says the actress, 33, and singer, 32, tells Us Weekly what they've named their bundle of joy: Adalaide Marie Hope Kelley.

    Born and adopted domestically, little Adelaide has a big sister in Naleigh, the couple's older daughter, whom they adopted in South Korea back in 2009.

    The newly expanded family stepped out for Mother's Day on Sunday in Beverly Hills, with Adelaide covered up with a blanket in a baby carrier.

    "Everyone is doing great!" a source tells Us.

    "Josh and I started talking about [adoption] before we were even engaged," "One for the Money" star Heigl said in February of her hubby of five years. "My sister Meg is Korean, and my parents adopted her three years before I was born. I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea."
