Why the Hell Does the Hills Cast Make so Much Money?

I definitely understand how the ensemble cast of Friends **turned from a group of nobody's to a **cast **of somebody's who can now command **hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode in any TV show **that they do. And millions of dollars for each **movie.

But the cast of "The Hills"? Take a deep breath before contemplating how much each cast member earns per episode.

These figures are based from Defamer:

Lauren Conrad: $75,000 per episode
Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode
Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode
Audrina Patridge: $35,000 per episode
Whitney Port: $20,000 per episode
******Brody Jenner:** $10,000 per episode
Lauren "Lo" Bosworth: $10,000 per episode
Stephanie Pratt: $8,000 per episode

Isn’t that absolutely insane? If you're like me who's a hater of "The Hills" – you'll be stunned by the fact that a lot of zeros are attached to these people's salaries for that crap of a show.

Whitney makes that much money for each episode – and all she does is ask: "So what did you do this weekend?"

And Heidi and Spencer get to show their faces for all the paparazzi to see for basically doing nothing. Geez, all I can do is sigh at the **unfairness **of it all!
