"Did y'all even listen to what I said!?! I said I originally wrote the song for me. That's true, so OF COURSE I didn't want to give it away originally. IT WAS FOR ME. Once I realized how the song comes across if sung by a guy, that's when I decided to give it away."
Julia Roberts - The Proposal.

Julia Roberts - The Blind Side
Julia Roberts is so stingy when it comes to money. I mean, Julia. It's not the 90s anymore where you get paid 20 million a film. Plus, you've faded away from the industry. Her ass was lucky she got paid $500,000 per minute ($3 million for 6 minutes) for "Valentine's Day"
It's just sad that a lot of films get ridiculous budgets because of one actor asking for more money.

Whataya Want From Me was originally meant for Funhouse, then given to Adam Lambert.

9 publishers (including Penguin and HarperCollins) turned down the manuscript of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone.
Bloomsbury eventually took it on the advice of the CEO's eight-year old daughter, who read it and went crazy for it.
I know this isn't exactly a celeb who turned down a hit project, but you get my drift.
