What about "the hills???"?

Question

I can't believe Lauren Conrad of "The Hills" gets paid $75k per epidsode?? (as seen on Showbiz Tonight) I can be a whiny little bit*ch too!! Everyone has drama in their lives...why does she get paid for it?

Answer 1

I know, it makes me so sad! I have a university degree in social work, and in a whole year I only get paid 1/3 of what she gets for just one episode. It's so unfair! All those years of hard work and helping people amount to next to nothing. I used to like the show but now I feel insulted!

Seeing how much the other people on the show get paid definitely makes me think how fake their friendships must be, though. No wonder they all try so hard to make up with Lauren when they have fights- they want to stay on the show and keep earning ridiculous amounts of money! Even though I like Lauren, I think I'd prefer having real friends and a meaningful job over having her life.

Answer 2

She gets paid because the show has a serious fan-base.

It's pathetic, I know. But some people are too vapid to know any better.
