Calista's $800k TV Deal

Posted Apr 17th 2006 4:29PM by TMZ Staff

Flockheart Calista Flockhart and co-star Rachel Griffiths will each pocket $200,000 for their roles in 'Brothers and Sisters,' a new pilot for ABC, sources connected with the show tell TMZ.

The two stars will also make $100,000 for each episode, with a guarantee of six. This means that even if the network does not pick up the series, they will each get $800,000. It's no coincidence that they got the same deal; both women are repped by the same lawyer.

Celeb spotlight

Flockhart, who has been offered numerous pilots since 'Ally McBeal' went off the air, was apparently drawn to the script because of its writer, Jon Robin Baitz. She also likes her character: a right-wing talk show host who is forced to run a family business with her sister and her brothers after the death of their father.

Other cast members include Balthazar Getty, Ron Rifkin and Jonathan LaPaglia -- all of whom didn't get paid nearly as much as Flockhart and Griffiths.

1. Calista Flockhart another bad actress who now has her talons in my buddy Harrison Ford can't the producers figure out that every show she's on is a flop not matter how many good actors or actress they put her up with her she'll never succeed dump her off of Brothers and Sisters so the rest of the cast can go on with the show and try and salvage it

P.S. to the writers when you get back to work please kill her off the show that might make people feel better about her in the next T.V. series I'm sure she'll get another show she's got something on someone out there so I'm sure she'll get something real special

Message to: Harrison Ford please send her packing man she's bringing you down don't let her push you around any more she's a gypsy looking for tailcoats to ride on

Message to: Calista Flockhart watch out for your twin Ellen Pompeo she's already showing her little boobies to your man
