Oink, oink! Nicole Kidman is bringing home the bacon. The Oscar winner, whose career soared after getting dropped by creepy Cruise, has become Hollywood's highest-paid actress according to The Hollywood Reporter. She makes between $16 million to $17 million a film and will get her biggest paycheck to date for the flick The Invasion, which comes out next August. Nic bumps Julia Roberts from the top spot, which the Pretty Woman held for four years. These days Julia is more into her babies -- though she voices a character in the upcoming Charlotte's Web. On the other hand, Nic is rarely ever seen with her two children. They're always with Tom and his new bride, which just makes me so suspicious.
