2010 is shaping up to be a strong year at the movies with the box office on pace to be the highest ever. But there have still been plenty of bombs. To compile our list of the biggest turkeys of 2010, we compared global box office with each film's estimated budget to come up with a percentage of the budget each film earned back. They are ranked from the worst up.

Jonah Hex

Box Office: $11 million
Return Ratio: 24%
For years now studios have salivated over comic book adaptations, and the dark Jonah Hex seemed like a good bet for Warner Bros. The story of a vengeful, disfigured Old West bounty hunter had been a hit comic but it didn't fare so well when adapted for the screen. It earns the dubious title of the worst performing film of 2010 (to date).

Extraordinary Measures

Box Office: $15 million
Return Ratio: 48%
The sappy tale of a tough old doctor out to help a father with two sick young children had movie-of-the-week stink despite the presence of Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser. Audiences stayed away in droves. The film was one of the first from CBS' new film production division. The company is still waiting for a hit.

Repo Men

Box Office: $32 million
Return Ratio: 56%
This futuristic thriller from Universal Pictures starred Jude Law as a repo man who takes back human organs. Audiences and critics failed to see the heart in the film. It earned a mere 22 rating on Rotten Tomatoes and only $32 million at the global box office. Lucky for Law his previous film, Sherlock Holmes, was the best performing of his career.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Box Office: $60 million
Return Ration: 77%
Scott Pilgrim came out of this year's Comic-Con with maximum buzz, and fanboys like Ain't It Cool News' Harry Knowles raved about the film. Most mainstream critics liked it too. But audiences weren't interested. The film failed to even earn back its production budget at the box office. Director Edgar Wright has yet to commit to his next directing project.

Let Me In

Box Office: $20 million
Return Ratio: 85%
The Swedish vampire flick Let The Right One In was the kind of cult hit that begs for an American remake. So expectations were high for Let Me In, which starred up-and-comer Chloe Moretz. Sadly, the movie died a quick death in theaters, earning only $20 million globally. That's still double what the original film earned, but Let Me In had a higher production budget.

Splice

Box Office: $25 million
Return Ratio: 85%
Splice is the kind of genre horror flick that could have offered a nice return for Warner Bros. studio. It involved two scientists toying with DNA with dangerous results. But the $30 million film failed to connect with horror fans. It earned only $25 million at the box office despite the presence of Oscar winner Adrien Brody.

MacGruber

Box Office: $9.3 million
Return Ratio: 93%
Movies based on Saturday Night Live skits usually perform poorly at the box office. MacGruber was no exception. The comedy, about an inept MacGyver-esque agent, earned a paltry $9.3 million at the global box office (less than $1 million of which came from overseas). The only reason this film doesn't rank higher on our list is because it cost only $10 million to make.

Green Zone

Box Office: $95 million
Return Ratio: 95%
Matt Damon films can do very well. His three Jason Bourne movies have earned almost $1 billion at the global box office. But like any star, Damon has had his share of flops. Green Zone reunited Damon with Bourne director Paul Greengrass but failed to turn a profit at the box office.

Furry Vengeance

Box Office: $35 million
Return Ratio: 100%
Participant Media (started by eBay's Jeff Skoll) is best known for message films like An Inconvenient Truth and Food, Inc. The family comedy Furry Vengeance had a not-so-subtle message about the environment. An evil developer, played by Brendan Fraser (making his second appearance on our list) is attacked by forest animals when he tries to destroy their habitat.

From Paris with Love

Box Office: $52 million
Return Ratio: 100%
Starring John Travolta as a wild American secret agent, this is the kind of movie that should have enjoyed a nice profit had it been made on the cheap. Instead the film cost a reported $52 million. That means it earned its production budget at the box office, but with half of that money going to theater owners and advertising costs not included, the film was a dud.

Charlie St. Cloud

Box Office: $44 million
Return Ratio: 100%
Zac Efron has helped Disney earn billions with the High School Musical franchise. But when the actor branched out for a more serious film about a young man grieving over his dead brother, his young fans mostly stayed away. Charlie St. Cloud only earned its production budget at the global box office.

Edge of Darkness

Box Office: $81 million
Return Ratio: 100%
Edge of Darkness was meant to be a comeback of sorts for Mel Gibson after his drunken D.U.I. rant that hurt his career. Unfortunately for Gibson it was something of a bomb. His personal brand crashed even more when his girlfriend publicized phone tapes of Gibson (allegedly) threatening her. His next film, The Beaver, has yet to secure a U.S. release date.

A good actor can play anyone, right? Meet 15 thespians who, with varying degrees of success, have attempted to be singers. (And no vocalists-turned-actors like Babs.) From a “Gladiator” hero to a rehabbing starlet, listen up to these actors with pipes.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Urbane beauty taps inner twang
This Oscar winner sang with Huey Lewis on the “Cruisin’” video and on TV’s music-fueled hit. She’s back this fall in the movie “Country Strong” as an actor ... and singer.


Joaquin Phoenix rap
'Man in Black' does rap
“Sing” is a generous word for the hip-hop musings of this offbeat actor in his recent mockumentary. He received an Oscar nomination for playing a country star in “Walk the Line.”


Lindsay Lohan
Rehabbing starlet generated 'Rumors'
Now living at this rehab facility, the star of “Mean Girls” released two teen-targeted albums in the mid-2000s. A former “American Idol” judge wrote some of her songs.

Minnie Driver
English Oscar nom sings of heartache
Matt Damon allegedly dumped her on a talk show, so this actor, Oscar-nominated for a Damon-scripted film, has plenty of pain to fuel her singer-songwriter career.


Kevin Bacon
Actor sizzles in brotherly duo
If you’ve seen him dancing in “Footloose,” you know this actor has rhythm, which comes in handy in his fraternal two-man group.

Lynda Carter
Superhero actor sings the standards

“Gladiator” star fronts "Grunts"
Oscar named this “Gladiator” star best actor, whom audiences Down Under also know as a singer for his ’80s solo tune, his band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts and his new group.


Billy Bob
Angelina’s ex sings bluesy tunes
In this interview turned viral video, the prickly star of “Sling Blade” (and Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband) insulted Canadians while promoting his country-rock band.

Robert Downy Jr.
“Iron Man” actor proves musical mettle
Before “Iron Man,” this actor won an Oscar nom for playing a silent-movie star in a 1992 biopic for which he sang on the soundtrack. He also released this 2004 solo CD.

David Hasselhoff
“Baywatch” hunk a music star abroad

Jennifer Love Hewit
Know what she did last album?
The star of “Ghost Whisperer” (is that show still on?) has summoned several albums of moderate chart success. She also appears in a Spanish pop singer’s “Hero” video.

Jared Leto
My so-called musical life?
He’ll always be Jordan Catalano to TV fans, but this actor is also a musician. Alongside his drummer brother, he sings and plays guitar for this rock band.

It’s National Adoption Month, which means that adults are getting more encouragement than usual to adopt a child. In the U.S. alone, there are nearly half a million children in the foster care system, and many of them are looking for a home.
Many celebrities, including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, have heeded the call.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
The Hollywood superstars have six children, three of whom are adopted: Shiloh, Maddox and Pax. Are they planning on adding to their brood? The kids (see photos) get to see a lot of the world because their parents are often on set in far-flung locations – Jolie is now directing her first movie in an unlikely place.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman
When Cruise and Kidman were married – and it was a long marriage by Hollywood standards – they adopted Connor and Isabella. (See photos). But their parents split and formed new families, and the kids have a say in where they spend their time. Kidman’s comment.

Rosie O’Donnell
O’Donnell, who was known as the “Queen of Nice” for her daytime TV show, is passionate about adoption, and she has adopted three children: Parker, Chelsea and Blake. (See photos) O’Donnell, who announced that she is gay not long before she quit her show, also was married.

Sheryl Crow
Singer Sheryl Crow is adding another member to her family with the recent announcement of the adoption of her second son, Levi. The Grammy-winning star told fans that Levi James was born on April 30. Crow adopted her first son, Wyatt, in 2007 when he was just two weeks old

Elton John
Elton John fell in love with baby Lev, a child in an HIV-positive orphanage in Ukraine. Although his hopes for adoption were dashed, he's not giving up.

Father George Clements
Father George Clements received widespread attention when he became the first Roman Catholic priest to adopt a child. (How many did he ultimately adopt?) Father Clements went on to found an adoption program that currently operates in 32 states.

George Lucas
"Star Wars" creator George Lucas adopted his first child when he was married and adopted two more children as a single dad. Lucas is the founder of an educational foundation, which focuses on project-based learning as well as helping special needs children.

Joan Crawford
The eldest adopted daughter of Joan Crawford wrote a book about Crawford's parenting skills. Crawford adopted a total of four children. The agency handling her first adoption was later tied to a black market baby ring.

Madonna
Superstar Madonna adopted Malawian-born David Banda in 2006. In 2009, Madonna petitioned to adopt a second child from Malawi. Over the protests of the child's father, she was initially refused, but Madonna won on appeal and Mercy James joined the family in the spring of 2009.

Ben Stein
Through admitted selfishness on his part, Ben Stein never considered becoming a father. After adopting his only child, he wrote a book about fatherhood.

Lionel Richie
Three-year-old Nicole Richie moved in with Lionel Richie and his former wife when Nicole's biological father hit hard times. Richie officially adopted Nicole six years later.

Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl and her husband, Josh Kelley, adopted their first child, a baby with special needs from South Korea (photos). The former "Grey's Anatomy" star says she was inspired by her sister. Heigl says her own reaction to motherhood was stronger than anticipated.

Alex Kingston

Jamie Lee Curtis
Jamie Lee Curtis and husband Christopher Guest adopted two children, son Tom and daughter Annie. Curtis, an accomplished actor and children's book author, wrote a book about adoption from a child's point of view.

Celebrities have been put on this earth to entertain us. But sometimes their attempts go painfully awry. We're counting down the ten most uncomfortable examples.

R. Kelly may have seen nothing wrong with a little
When Mariah Carey showed up at "TRL" unannounced with an ice cream cart in July 2001, it was a little out of sorts. When she stripped off her shirt to reveal a tight tank and gold lame shorts, it was weird. When she started talking gibberish and, with a creepy laugh, said, "You're my therapy session right now Carson. You see, every now and then, somebody needs a little therapy, and today is that moment for me.
Losing sucks. And when you have a camera in your face for a reaction shot, it sucks tenfold. Faith Hill learned that the hard way when she lost Female Vocalist of the Year to then-newcomer Carrie Underwood at the 2006 Country Music Awards. Backstage at the time, Faith screamed "What?" in the camera and then walked away. The singer maintains that she was just joking around, it was pretty uncomfortable to watch.
Tom's a passionate person, and with his passion often comes awkward-to-watch moments. The worst, however, was his infamous couch-jumping incident on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Watching him on the show, we really didn't know what he was going to do jump on the couch, hug Oprah or whip out an AK-47.
