Phew, the UK's Richest People Under 30 are Movie Stars

Here it is, the reason I renewed my subscription to the internet: Rich lists. They’re just maddening, enthralling and depressing no matter who’s on them. Actually, if I were on one, I’d be depressed about it. Like, “I’m the richest? Is this all there is? Time to move to Sedona. Time to open a stationery shop.” On the UK magazine Heat’s 30 Under 30 Rich List, you’ll be pleased to learn that the UK’s young movie stars make more money than its pop stars. But who leads the tally? Once again, your blue-eyed song-and-dance man Daniel Radcliffe wins top honors — and by a very healthy margin. Keira Knightley’s Pirates booty earns her the runner-up spot, and that well-foreheaded heartthrob Robert Pattinson gets the bronze medal. I assume this list was put together some months ago, because I’m pretty sure Adele is officially more popular than Leona Lewis ever was. Though maybe Avatar theme rights qualify you for instant riches. Whatever! Here’s the full list. Jamie Bell, I see you down there. THE FULL HEAT RICH LIST 2011 bq. 1.

Netflix Antitrust Lawsuit Tossed By Judge

Jin Lee/Bloomberg/Getty Images A federal judge in California has dismissed a class action against Netflix that alleged the online movie retailer hadstruck an illegal"market allocation" agreement with Walmart. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton handed Netflix a victory on summary judgment, finding that the plaintiffs couldn't show any collusive agreement.our editor recommendsNetflix Ex-CFO Works for Venture Firm Involved in Company's Debt DealNetflix's Stock Drops as Company Warns of Loss for 2012Netflix Stock Drops Below Year Low After Company Sells $200 Million in Bonds Allegations of Illegal Netflix-Walmart Agreement Lead To Both A Settlement And Coming TrialNetflix Makes Lionsgate U.K. Streaming Deal Official Analysts: CW-Hulu Deal Will Further Strengthen Network's Bottom Line After Recent Netflix Agreement The dismissal cuts short a trial that was tentatively scheduled for January. The plaintiffs brought their claims to federal court in 2009, pointing to an agreement made between Netflix and Walmart four years earlier. PHOTOS: Netflix's 10 Most Rented Movies of All Time At the time, Blockbuster had just entered the DVD online rental market and rumors circulated that Amazon would soon do the same. Netflix approached Walmart in a purported effort to stave off the perceived Amazon threat. At first, the talks went nowhere, but then Walmart decided to exit the DVD rental business. In 2005, the two companies reached a deal on a so-called "Promotion Agreement," whereby existing Walmart DVD rental customers would be transitioned to Netflix. Amazon didn't jump into the DVD business, and Blockbuster later flopped, leading eight individuals to lead a class action lawsuit that alleged that antitrust behavior between Netflix and Walmart had led to higher prices. The plaintiffs estimated that damages could be as high as $654 million. But now, Judge Hamilton has curtailed a trial that was scheduled to featureNetflix CEOReed Hastingsas well as former top media executives from Amazon, Walmart and Blockbuster. She ruled that the plaintiffs simply couldn't show that the "Promotion Agreement" was illegal. According to the decision: "The Promotion Agreement on its face discloses an agreement by both parties to undertake cross-promotional efforts with respect to each other's complementary online DVD rental and sales services, in light of Walmart's independent decision to exit the DVD rental market. Not only does the agreement expressly acknowledge the 'independent nature of Walmart's decision to exit the market, but it furthermore expressly states that Walmart is free to re-enter the same market. Under these circumstances, the court cannot agree that the agreement on its face reflects a blatant agreement to eliminate Walmart from the online DVD rental market as a form of market allocation." The class plaintiffs are free to appeal the decision, but in the meantime, they won't walk away empty-handed. Walmart made an independent decision about a year ago to settle instead of spending money on lawyers. In retrospect, given the judge's decision yesterday, Walmart seems to have made a $27.25 million error. That's the amount that Walmart agreed to pay out in order to avoid this class action fight. The retail giant can't even claim to have saved that much in legal costs. Walmart first reached a very complicated settlement with the plaintiffs in December 2010that included a pay-out range (between $29 million and $40 million depending on the number of claims), that included a sub-class of customers who rented DVDs online from Blockbuster, and a provision where Wal-Mart had the right to "blow-out" the entire settlement if a substantial portion of potential class members opted-out of the deal. The judge didn't like this deal very much, and Netflix objected too, leading to seven months of continued revisions before a final settlement was reached.Most importantly, the pay-out became fixed and Blockbuster class members were removed. In September, a judge blessed the settlement, leading to an e-mail from plaintiffs' lawyers about a week ago to many Netflix subscribers, informing them of the settlement. Per the agreement,all thosewho rented DVDs from Netflix anytime between May 19, 2005 and September 2, 2011 have the opportunity to claim a piece of the $27.25 million pot in the form of gift cards or cash. Initially, Walmart's settlement was criticized by customers who worried they were only getting pennies on the dollar of potential damages. The aggrieved individuals noted that the class action lawyers would take home 25 percent of the settlement fund, or nearly $7 million, and also be reimbursed up to $1.7 million in legal costs. Now, that remaining money looks better than nothing. E-mail: eriqgardner@yahoo.com Twitter: @eriqgardner Netflix

The Sandler-produced "Zookeeper," toplined by frequent cohort Kevin James, pulled in $170 million worldwide during its summer run. And "Jack and Jill," which opened Nov. 11, earned $25 million its first weekend.Playing a woman presented unique challenges for the "Saturday Night Live" alum, who eschews print media. "I had some outfits that I had a bulge problem with," Sandler joked on a recent "Jimmy Kimmel Live" appearance. "(Director Dennis Dugan said), 'Yeah, yeah, we can CGI out the bulge later. Don't worry about it.' Then I saw the final cut of the movie, and I saw (Dugan), and I said, 'Good job getting rid of the bulge with the whole CGI thing,' and he said, 'Oh I forgot to do that.'?"

Minporen plans to send out the contract to members by the end of the year. The org also plans to incorporate an anti-gang statement into its 2012 ethics rulebook for members. "There have been cases in the past of (TV) production companies having contacts with antisocial groups," Hirose said. "We intend to deal with this issue with renewed vigor."
