BRADLEY COOPER, ZACH GALIFIANAKIS and ED HELMS are asking for $15 million EACH to star in “The Hangover 3″ . . . plus a cut of the profits. And their probably going to get it.

They didn’t even get $1 million each for the first movie. But after it went on to gross $467 million, they were in a better position to bargain for the sequel.

Their salaries went up to $5 million apiece for “The Hangover Part 2″ . . . but with profit participation, they ended up banking somewhere in the mid-teens. The movie grossed $581 million.

The third installment is expected to be in theaters on Memorial Day of 2013. It’ll be set in Los Angeles and will NOT follow the same formula of the first two, where they wake up from blackouts and have to figure out what they did the night before.

Americans are OBSESSED with the Super Bowl . . . and a lot of you would be willing to skip major life events to go to one.

A survey by CouponCabin.com found that one in four people would be willing to call off a family vacation if they got a ticket to the big game.

One in five would go even if it meant missing the wedding of a close friend or relative. And one in five would skip the funeral of a loved one.

One in five also said they’d go to the game and miss an important work responsibility.

If all that seems extreme, consider this: 15% of Americans say they’d miss THE BIRTH OF THEIR OWN CHILD to go to the Super Bowl.

37% of people say the Super Bowl is the best major sporting event . . . four times more than the number of people who picked the World Series.
