Catherine Zeta-JonesCatherine Zeta-JonesWhen it comes to earning power for ads, Catherine Zeta-Jones is top of the pops.

She has taken pole position in a list of how much celebs are paid for doing advertising.

Communications giant T-Mobile paid her a whopping £11.2 million to promote their goods in the US.

The top ten list, compiled by advertising industry magazine AdWeek, included Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson.

Ange's man Brad Pitt was the only fella included in the top 10 - he got £2.2million for advertising Heineken.
