People in the News: 'Desperate' team won't be desperate for pay
Weep no more for Teri Hatcher.
The breakout success of 'Desperate Housewives' will soon be breaking the bank for the hit series' top star. World Entertainment News Network reports that Hatcher has signed on for the show's second season at a significant upgrade in pay. Roll up the Brinks trucks for her haul.
Hatcher will now be paid $285,000 per episode, up from this year's paltry paycheck of $38,000. A source says of the brunette beauty, 'She has undoubtedly turned out to be the star of the show. Men find her sexy and women want to be like her.'
Pay raises also are on tap for other co-stars in the series -- Nicolette Sheridan, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria. Their raises are not likely to rival Hatcher's, but they will be significant, given that they are taking home (boo-hoo) $1,800 per episode this season.
Some consolation also will come from additional compensation dispensed to each 'Desperate' diva upon signing for a second season. Each is receiving a new Mini Cooper for those L.A. trips to the mini mart.
