Abigail Breslin
's hourly rate is $16,250 -- at least when she's doing voice work for her new animated movie "Zambezia" ... this according to her contract for the film.

TMZ has obtained 15-year-old Breslin's payment agreement with film producers -- and according to the docs, she earned a grand total of $65,000 for one 4-hour recording session ... voicing the character of Zoe, an adorable bird (right).

It's not Abigail's only massive payday this year either -- back in May she signed a one-week contract for the upcoming movie "New Year's Eve" ... worth $275,000.

What did you do when you were 15?

That's $39,285 PER DAY -- and that's just her baseline salary!!

According to the actress' minor contract, filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court, Abigail stands to earn ANOTHER $100K if domestic box office receipts for "NYE" exceed $150 mil.

And there's more ... If for some reason Abby has to shoot additional scenes in post-production, she'll earn an additional $39,285 per day for her troubles ... on top of everything else.

Once again, she's FIFTEEN. Hate your life yet?

Abigail Breslin's Zombie Paycheck

Abigail BreslinAbigail Breslin got top billing for "Zombieland" on the movie's IMDB page -- but that doesn't mean she's pulling in top dollar.

The 13-year-old's contract -- which is on file with the L.A. County Superior Court -- shows she was paid $100,000 for the flick ... not exactly Cameron Diaz money.

But don't cry for her too much ... Abigail will get bonuses starting at $50,000, depending on how much the movie pulls in.

Here's the deal -- even if the movie bombs, $100,000 is way more than you made at 13 ... and us too.

Stamos: Save Me From Saget!

John Stamos is excited to get a star on the Walk of Fame -- so long as it's not near Bob Saget's. He shouldn't worry too much, Bob doesn't have one.

Also in L.A.: Jon Voight talked Angelina, Beyonce made a made dash from American Apparel, Traci Bingham smacked her own ass and Paula Abdul was got a pitchy birthday serenade.

In NY: Anne Hathaway gave paps the silent treatment, Abigail Breslin was swarmed for autographs, D-lister Kathy Griffin said she's never been to Casa Aramara, and Mario Lopez was asked about gettin' it on during the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Shiver me timbers!

Breslin Buttered Up by Older Man

It should be the other way around, but last night 12-year-old Abigail Breslin had a twenty-something hunk chasing her down at last night's Young Hollywood Awards.


The butt-kissing makes sense though -- she's been in Oscar nom "Little Miss Sunshine" and blockbuster "Signs," while her older admirer Sean Faris' credits include something called "The Brotherhood 2: Young Warlocks" and failed shows on FOX and ABC.
