Ashton Kutcher is at the top of the Hollywood food chain these days, thanks to “Two and a Half Men” and his tech investments. According to Forbes, the actor raked in about $24 million between May 2011 and May 2012, making him the highest-paid actor on TV.
 
“Two and a Half Men” alum Charlie Sheen topped the list last year at $40 million, but has since dropped off. His new “Anger Management” deal, however, could make him a contender next year.

"Extra" raised some champagne glasses with a select group of newly anointed Emmy nominees, including stars from "Modern Family," "House" and "Glee" -- which nabbed 19 nominations.

"Glee" star Jane Lynch isn't mincing words about her nod for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. In true Sue Sylvester fashion, she quipped, "I'm gonna become a friggin' nightmare!"

The hit FOX show's 19 nominations is "kind of outlandish," Lynch laughed, "Maybe even a little over the top. It may be too much."

"Extra" caught up with some of Hollywood's finest who have been honored with Golden Globe nominations. Check out the reactions of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and more!

Pitt, who was nominated as Best Actor for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" thanked his fellow cast members for his achievement, saying, "I am pleased to be nominated for this award and would like to also congratulate David, Eric and Alexandre on their nominations. We're all very proud of the film and thankful to the Hollywood Foreign Press for recognizing our work."

Brad's partner Angie also received a nod for her work in Clint Eastwood's drama, "Changeling." Jolie said, "I am honored to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press in a category with so many extraordinary women. What an amazing experience, having the opportunity to work with Clint Eastwood on a film I care so deeply about."

Dustin Hoffman nabbed a Best Actor nom for his work in "Last Chance Harvey" -- and the Tinseltown vet praised co-star Emma Thompson when he heard the news. "It is so exciting to be nominated, but working with Emma was reward enough. Don't get me wrong, I still want to win!" Emma, also nominated, said, "Dustin and I had the best time making this film. It seems insane to get an award nomination on top of that, but I'm thrilled."

"Enchanted" star Amy Adams -- whose star is on the rise -- nabbed a nod for her role in "Doubt," opposite bigwigs Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep. "I am so honored to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for 'Doubt,' along with John Patrick Shanley, Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis. Helping to bring John's Pulitzer Prize-winning play to the screen was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career."

Hugh Laurie plays a snarky doctor on the series "House," but in real life, the ecstatic actor was humble and gracious when he got word of his nomination. "I am thrilled. Nine feet tall and thrilled."
