I suppose that Shemar was better known for his body than his acting (Y&R years aside)

Yeah, I used to watch it...the characters were kind of stock, but the acting was decent. Also, "Dharma Finkelstein" is funny. Yeah...soap hottie. I don't know why one ends up Big Shit and another doesn't.

I'm joining msbelle in crying into my bank statement.

Have you all seen the hobbit house in wales? I cannot imagine building that with a toddler and a baby. Or living there at all.

Health-ma to your brother, amyth

I do wonder if the Vampire Diaries kids make more than the Supernatural kids. Hmmph.

I think the fact that Ian S. is on the list probably means he does, at least.

I found it funny on Criminal Minds when Reid walked in on Morgan and Rossi watching a soap opera in his hotel room. When he said they were watching "Days of Our Lives," they immediately corrected him--it was Y&R. Nice shoutout to Shemar's previous workplace!

That list only had two NCIS actors on it. Mark Harmon obviously makes the most, being the Name Actor and now producer, and Michael Weatherly just got his raise this summer, which makes me wonder what the rest of the cast is making. I hope that David McCallum gets a decent amount, since he's the "and" at the end of the cast listing and is as big a Name Actor as Harmon, IMO, but doesn't have the screen time Harmon does on the show.

Callaluna, just wanted to say I'm so sorry you're struggling to be happy right now. It can be really, really rough to move somewhere new, especially as big a move as this was for you, and it is a huge bummer that you can't go home like you'd planned.

This. Also, what town are you in? I have a Belgian friend who owns a flower store there and, in my dream, you are in the same town and you can go visit him there and be cheered by his hilarity and beautiful flowers.

I love that hobbit house and could totally imagine myself living there. Except it'd need more windows because I get SADS.

I was figuring they left out a huge number of shows, so maybe not. Because Ian? Really? Nice iliac crest, but seriously. Is VD really the biggest show on CW?

Right, yes. Quite probably.

That actually functions in lieu of money--it's additional recognition, not an indication of remuneration. It's something else to bargain for.

Going by last year's list, they're totally cherry-picked. Ellen Pompeo does make more than Patrick Dempsey--I am surprised. And Tom Welling makes much much more than Ian Somerhalder, but isn't on this year's list.

~ma for your brother, you and your family amyth.
