It's back! The 2012 edition of who is being paid what in the television world. Unlike previous years, not all of the actors/actresses that were published in the TV GUIDE MAGAZINE will be published here. If you want to ask, just leave a comment, and I'll post it at the bottom of the article. If you don't feel like asking, just pick up your own copy of TV GUIDE MAGAZINE. This years "WHO EARN$ WHAT" article includes a tidbit of information about television stars buying and selling their homes, and how much they're asking, or paid!
