Stars Still Dancing to the Bank?

Posted Oct 11th 2006 4:15AM by TMZ Staff

Do the celebs get paid to be on "Dancing with the Stars"?

As it turns out, Frances, the celebs who appear on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" do get monetarily rewarded for all of the blood, sweat and tears they put into those grueling practices. However, according to past celebs, like season two winner Drew Lachey, the payoff is pocket change compared to the big ratings the network receives. It is reported that they get a measly (if that's what you want to call it) $245,000 for up to eight weeks of dancing. And for those of you too lazy to do the math, that breaks down to $30,625 a week. Do with that what you will.

We'll still continue to watch, though. And make sure you tune in tonight at 8pm for the results show! For more TV news, read this.
