Defamer outed a bunch of TV stars and their exorbitant wages today and we figured that it’s info fit to share with you. Now some of this might not seem out of the ordinary, but some of this is downright retarded. Check it out:

� OPRAH: $260 million per year (includes what she earns from Rachael Ray, Dr. Phil, and other programs)
� SIMON COWELL: $45 million per year (for American Idol and other projects)
� JUDGE JUDY: $30 million per year
� KATIE COURIC: $15 million per year
� ZACH BRAFF: $6.3 million (for 18 episodes of Scrubs next season)

There you have it… not too shabby a take for some of these people. Judge Judy’s $30 mill a year kind of blows me away, imagine how rich that lady is from that stupid piece of shit show. Well, I suppose there’s a hell of a lot of trailer parks down south that tune in to that crap.
