Small Screen - Big Money!

The list of the highest-ranking TV stars is out - and you'll never believe who's on top!
Holy Sheen!
TV Guide reports that Charlie Sheen tops the list of prime-time actors, earning a whopping $825,000 per episode of Two And A Half Men for a total of nearly $20 million a year. Sheen's work on the show has also earned him three Emmy nominations to date.
For comparison, CSI's William Peterson was named the number-two earner in prime-time for his $600,000/episode salary - why, that's nearly a quarter of a million bucks per show less than Charlie!
"O" My!
But as much bank as Charlie may be making in prime time, it's nothing compared to the paychecks Oprah Winfrey's drawing during the daytime!
O takes home a staggering $385 million bucks for hosting her afternoon talk show, TV Guide claims. Wow, that's a ton of money - no wonder she can afford to give away all those cars!
Other significant TV salaries include Simon Cowell (who pulls in $50 mil per year judging Idol), David Letterman (whose late-night talk show earns him $32 million a year), CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric ($15 mil per year), and Mariska Hargitay (the top-paid actress, earning $400,000 per episode of SVU).
Can you believe how much some of these folks make? It's unbelievable!
We'd trade places with any of these folks in a heartbeat!

Why do white women get lesser salaries than men and blacks?
Charlie Sheen is an always will be a douchebag and Oprah is a black woman who has made her money off of stupid, pathetic white women who fall for her racist hypocrisy. Way to go you stupid, ignorant white women! Make this black woman proud! And richer.
Yep. Oprah Played and continues to play the middle American White housewives. Go Oprah!
