How Much do Dancing Stars Earn?

One show I have ever watched, and frankly never will is Dancing With the Stars. Waht was I going on about again? Oh yeah...I'll bet you wonder how much these celebs make for their appearances on the show. Let's just go out on a limb ad say that it is probably more than you do to actually work a year.

Of course all these celebs are independent contractors and need to worry about getting a health insurance lead so they ought to make a ton right?

According to the contract filed in court between Shawn Johnson and BBC Worldwide Productions, which makes the show, the gymnast is being paid a guarantee of $125,000 to do the show, Access Hollywood has learned. The guarantee covers training, the first two weeks of the show and her appearance at the finale.

ohnson will receive $10,000 for getting through the third and fourth weeks of “Dancing.”

As a frontrunner in the competition, who has scored high marks since the start of competition, she only stands to gain more as she takes on the ballroom with professional partner Mark Ballas.

For weeks 5, 6 and 7, Johnson will take home $20,000 a week. She'll earn $30,000 for weeks 8 and 9, and if she makes it to weeks 10 and 11, Johnson will earn $50,000 a week, for a grand total of $365,000.

Kids Still Don't Know Crap About Music, or Movies

Headlines for the Kid's Choice Awards tend to say things like "The Jonas Brothers, and Twilight Own Kid's Choice Awards". Silly kids. This music isn't for anyone.

Others who were in attendance and winning awards were Joe "I suck" Jones, Tiffany "lulz pop music" Tight Pants, and our personal favorite Brian "I'm old as dirt and sold out and finally won an award" Sellout.

Now after the weekend comes Cyber Monday where people can buy all the stuff that will let them spew the fandom that nobody cares about.
