Amy Adams’ scheduled appearance on NBC’s Today Show was canceled this week because of a topic she was going to be asked about, but refused to discuss. What was that, exactly? The Big Eyes actress, 40, was told she’d be asked about the widespread hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and documents and details that were leaked.

She and Jennifer Lawrence , two female stars of American Hustle , made a lot less from it than co-stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner.
