Is Eddie Murphy the most overpaid actor in Hollywood working today?

Forbes says yes! They've compiled a short list of the movie stars that just aren't worth their weight in gold.

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) to see who else made the top five!

Of course, this is no judgment on the quality of the acting or the entertainment potential of these stars. It's purely a financial metric.

Forbes developed the list by comparing the gross of movies the actors starred in with their paychecks. According to their calculations, Eddie Murphy movies bring in only $2.30 for every dollar he is paid.

But is he really overpaid? Sure, Eddie gets millions per movie, but think of how much money you save on other actors when he plays five roles per film! They totally haven't thought this one through!

Let's be honest…

Don't you wish Obama would have worn Eddie Murphy's red leather jump suit during the debate with Mitt Romney, instead of a boring old suit and tie??

Amy Poehler sure does!!

America's favorite fake public servant confessed her deepest darkest Presidential Debate fanatics to Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday night.

Presss Plaaay (above) to hear what wacky things she not-so-secretly wished would have gone wrong during the candidate's big face-off!

Ahhhhhh!

We haven't been this shocked by an actor recording an unexpectedly awesome song since Eddie Murphy kicked us straight in the ear-nuts back in '85!

The difference here is that the sweet love ballad Jennifer Lawrence sings — All You've Got to Do is Fall in Love — is absolutely TERRIFYING!

Ch-ch-check out her acoustic promo performance for House at the End of the Street (above) and you may find yourself surprised by her gentle voice and poignant — ZOMG! What the hell was that?

Something is clearly coming to get you, Katniss!!

We wholeheartedly recommend smashing your guitar against the ground and building a bow and some arrows with the leftover pieces!

Defend yourself from the baddies of District 666!

Axel Foley is back!!!

The wise crackin' Detroit cop who catapulted Eddie Murphy into superstardom will collar crooks again in 90210.

Eddie and Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield, are joining forces to create Beverly Hills Cop the TV show!!

Our hearts were broken after last year's revelation that Donkey Eddie passed on Beverly Hills Cop 4 but why shoot a two hour movie when you can make dozens of hours of TV instead??

Eddie will reprise his old character, but not how you might expect.

The majority of his work on the show is behind-the-scenes, as an executive producer.

He could hand

While it was reported yesterday that Lindsay Lohan’s mom, Dina, would be getting her own reality show, you might not want to grab your remotes just yet!

Dina recently cleared up the reality rumors, saying:

“I’m not starring in the VH1 reality show Hollywood Exes. I just did a cameo [on another show] for a friend of mine who is on the show. It’s called DramaMamas and is a very smart show. It’s about the auditioning and making of a Broadway show.”

So it sounds like Dina only makes a guest appearance and doesn’t have a starring role in DramaMamas after all!

…and no, Lindsay will not be seen when Dina makes her cameo!

As for the VH1 show? The series will

Former BET VJ Rocsi Diaz might have snagged her a new man in Eddie Murphy!!

We think the holding hands gives it away, don't you!?! Ha!

The two were seen looking cute and casual together when they left his local Coffee Bean the other day.

Being with her must really lift his spirits after his A-MAZING mansion just sold for less than half of his asking price!

Eddie Murphy just made an easy $12 million! Unfortunately for him, he originally was aiming for $30 million.

The Norbit actor just sold a massive mansion in Englewood, New Jersey after YEARS of being on the market and had to dip below HALF of his asking price.
