Eva Longoria Tops Highest Paid TV Actress List

By Michael Lopez

Obviously it s going to be tough for Eva Longoria to say goodbye to Desperate Housewives this season. But judging by the latest report from Forbes, it won't be because of sentimental feelings. The magazine has just ranked her TV's highest paid actress with an income of $13 million per year!

All four of ABC's Housewives made the list, but Eva got bumped to the top because of her advertising deals with LG and L'Oreal. Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, and Felicity Huffman didn't do too shabby themselves, taking home an annual salary of roughly $9 million each.

Tina Fey was the second highest earner of the year. Her work on 30 Rock earns her just under $13 million and as an executive producer of the show, we're sure she made a sweet bundle of cash from the DVD sales and syndication deals.

Rounding out the list were Law & Order’s Mariska Hargitay, Cougar Town’s Courtney Cox, and Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo. And keep in mind, this list is for television "actresses." If you want to include TV reality judges, we get the feeling Ms. J. Lo would top them all.

Do you think Eva Longoria's worth $13 million a year? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
