Matthew Morrison is Paid the Same as Snooki, and 5 Other Devastating TV Paycheck Comparisons

You think that your paycheck is unfair? Imagine being an Emmy-winning actress who’s being out-earned by a 16-year-old. Or even worse, put yourself in the shoes of an accomplished Broadway and television star who pulls in just as much as a spray-tanned Jersey Shore personality who’s best known for eating pickles drunk. TV Guide has put out a new list of TV’ s highest (and lowest) paid stars, and with that in mind, here are some of the worst paycheck injustices littering the airwaves.

‘Harry Potter’ Has Employed ‘All My Family,’ Emma Thompson Jokes

Thompson’s sister, Sophie, is also in ‘Deathly Hallows,’ which was ‘incredible’ to shoot, Emma tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Emma Thompson Photo: MTV News Emma Thompson has been so busy with her “Nanny McPhee” films (she wrote and starred in both) that her visit to the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” set was very brief. When MTV News caught up with the actress to talk about “Nanny McPhee Returns,” Thompson said stepping into the shoes of her kooky “Potter” character, Professor Trelawney, for the last time was short but sweet. “They were very quick,” she admitted of her two days on set. “I just had to do a bit of waving of a wand and a bit of ‘ooooo-ing’ over dead people, because of course they just had to fit absolutely everyone in.” Thompson said the guest-actor-heavy shooting schedule felt like a “conveyor belt of characters, as this extraordinary machine came to its end.” Still, Thompson said she made the most of her “Potter” time and was able to reconnect with friends/co-stars she hadn’t seen in a while. “It was incredible to see everyone and just sort of quickly say hello and goodbye.” When we mentioned that it seemed like every working actor in the U.K. has appeared in at least one “Potter” film, Thompson heartily agreed. “Absolutely everyone in equity has been in it,” Thompson said of the franchise’s lengthy cast list. “Including all my family, practically. My sister just finished. I don’t know what the name of her character is; she’s got a major role in this last one.” (Thompson’s sister Sophie plays Ministry of Magic employee/ Proper Use of Magic enforcer Mafalda Hopkirk.) Thompson revealed that she has seen her sister in action, via a photo of Sophie as Mafalda, with Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) himself. “I’ve got a photo of her with Daniel dragging her off somewhere … so I don’t know what [they’re doing]; I haven’t seen it yet.” What scene do you think is in Thompson’s photo? Is Sophie a good fit for the role of Mafalda Hopkirk? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Kaskade And Dragonette Vocalist Team Up For ‘Fire In Your New Shoes’

‘I wanted somebody who was on the pop-electro sound already,’ Kaskade says of choosing Martina Sorbara as his collaborator. By Akshay Bhansali Kaskade Photo: MTV News Earlier this year, progressive house-music producer Ryan Raddon — known to his fans around the world as Kaskade — found himself body-checking pop-music goliaths when his album Dynasty debuted at #5 on the iTunes album download charts, knocking Justin Bieber out of the top 10 that week. The album spent three consecutive weeks in the top 10, an indicator of popular music’s current appetite for faster beats per minute as well as a credit to Kaskade’s own skills. And while Dynasty features a mainstream dance collaboration with Dutch music titan Ti

The City Recap: From Trash to Treasure

Olivia Palmero doesn’t care what Erin Kaplan’s opinion is. This was a central theme of The City last night, as it is in every episode. But rarely are feelings in this feud declared so overtly. Talk about taking it to a new level! Meanwhile, will Roxy Olin actually prove her worth? Amazingly, these much-maligned aspiring fashionistas both boosted their stock in a solid episode of The Hills spinoff, which continues to entertain and surprise. We begin THG’s +/- recap of last night’s The City, “One Girl’s Trash,” with Olivia preparing for a shoot with Ke$ha by visiting the Trash & Vaudeville store: TRASH THIS : We often do, but Olivia surprisingly salvaged the Ke$ha shoot . The owner suggests a pair of spiked boots which Kyle asks Olivia to try on. She does but refuses to walk around the store in them. Too much effort for O. Plus 3 . Whitney Port is preparing to showcase her collection at a buyers’ event. Too bad Roxy is her right-hand man … woman. Minus 4 , because she’s a total liability. At the office, Kate goes over the items for the Ke$ha shoot. Plus 5 for when Seth asks Olivia if Erin approved the accessories and Olivia does not give a f*%k.

Travis Porter Are ‘Killing’ Indie Scene With Proud To Be A Problem

Unsigned Atlanta trio say new mixtape is ‘giving most signed artists problems,’ in Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid Travis Porter Photo: MTV News This Week’s Main Pick Street Kings : Travis Porter Holding It Down For : ATL Mixtape : Proud to Be a Problem. Real Spit : Strap, Quez and Ali are bringing that youthful energy with a club banger and the Atlanta trio have fans on the Internet riding for them heavy. “At the moment we are an independent problem,” Quez explained of Travis Porter’s new mixtape Proud to Be a Problem. “We’re proud of it!” he added, acknowledging that the group has earned strong buzz in the South without the backing of a major. “It’s really a good vs. bad thing. It’s a good problem because we letting other independent artists know it’s possible to be known and out there, just grindin’. It’s a bad problem because we’re giving most signed artists problems.” As you can tell, these guys aren’t exactly modest about their increasing popularity. Several months ago, Travis Porter hooked up with Roscoe Dash and put out a version of “All the Way Turnt Up.” Eventually Dash, who came up with the song, released it officially through his own label, Interscope. The Interscope version didn’t feature Travis Porter, but included Soulja Boy. Still, TP kept their movement going, releasing the Problem mixtape a few weeks back — the downloads were crazy. And the group is in no rush to sign with a major label just yet. “At the moment, we’re like a high school player on the verge of going to college,” Strap said of Travis Porter’s unsigned status. “We have to pick the right one. We have to weigh out all the options and pick the best deal accordingly. When that time comes, we’ll make that decision. But at the moment, we’re killing the independent scene.” Quez and Ali have a familial bond and they’ve known Strap since they were 12. “Well, me and Ali are stepbrothers,” Quez began to explain. “So we been knowing each other. We met Strap in like the 6th grade and made a group called the Hard Hittaz and been makin’ great music ever since.” Travis Porter also have a short film out to accompany their mixtape.
