Well, it's finally out there ... "The Hills" stars' salaries are pretty much as nauseatingly huge as you may or may not have expected -- but, on a positive note, at least Spencer Pratt doesn't rake in the most.
Here's each star's salary per episode, according to TheDailyBeast.com:
-- Lauren Conrad, who was guaranteed the highest salary on the show during her stint, earned $125,000
-- Audrina Patridge, "Lo" Bosworth, and Heidi Montag each got $100,000
-- Kristin Cavallari -- who replaced Lauren Conrad this season -- earns $90,000
-- Spencer Pratt earns $65,000
-- Brody Jenner earned $45,000
That officially makes them the highest paid actors in a scripted, non-scripted show ever.

50 Cent needs to wave his Magic Stick if he hopes to sell his Connecticut mega-mansion ... he just slashed the price another few million bucks in desperation.
Fiddy says he's fed up with the 2-hour, too long commute to New York City and wants to trade in the 19-bedroom, 37-bath pad for a cut down crib in the city -- it was $18.5 million, then $14.5 million and now it's only $10.9 million.
50 shelled out $4.1 million for the 17-acre estate -- but says he spent $6 million on urgent upgrades like a disco complete with stripper poles.

Ruth Madoff visited her embezzler husband Bernie Madoff at a federal correction center in Manhattan yesterday and left carrying a bag of money. Score!
Bernie has been incarcerated for over a month and is so good at what he does, looks like he's even swindling his fellow crooks. Now that's a professional!

Relax. The headline is just a Marie Antoinette thing, because last night Sean Young bragged she hadn't invested in the stock market, so ... "I'm so rich now and everybody is just like, just dying."
In her defense, she is clearly doing a lot to stimulate the liquor industry.
