The Gossip Rag: Celebrity life, photos, gossip, and news

How much do the unscripted actors of hit TV show MTV’s The Hills make? More than you’d expect for the mindless drivel they put out:

Lauren Conrad: $75,000 per episode ($1.40 million per year)
Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode ($1.25 million per year)
Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode ($1.25 million per year)
Audrina: $35,000 per episode ($665,000 annually)
Whitney: $20,000 per episode ($380,000 per season)
Brody: $10,000 per episode ($190,000 a year)
Lauren “Lo”: $10,000 per episode ($190,00 for The Hills Season 4)
Stephanie: $8,000 per episode ($152,00 for Season 4)
Frankie: $0

Apparently Lauren Conrad, in her original contract, demanded that no one be paid more than her; hence she has the highest salary.

Celebrities and their plastic surgery and airbrushing produce a made-for-tv product that doesn’t often translate into real-life. For example, check out these two pictures of Tila Tequila Nguyen, one from a red-carpet event, the other from a TV promotional:

One of them looks like an attractive woman, the other like a shallow caricature.

The star of hit HBO show The Wire, Idris Elba, who plays the now-dead gangster Stringer Bell in Seasons 1, 2, and 3, wishes he were famous for more than his role in the TV series. He has had minor roles in American Gangster (2007) as Tango and 28 Weeks Later (2007) as General Stone.

Series Four of Doctor Who will start with Partners In Crime at 6.20pm on Saturday 05 April 2008, BBC One.

After being arrested by the Glendale Police Department in December for a 48-day jail sentence, they naturally took his photo. Kiefer Sutherland, the 40 year old actor of hit TV show “24″ pled no contest to DUI. This is second DUI bust; I guess fighting terrorists makes you an alcoholic.

It’s too bad that 24 is on hold for season 7 because of the writer’s strike. Season 6 was awful and they need to get it right in the future!
