Subject: • "Simpsons" cast gets a hefty raise
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The standoff between "The Simpsons" voice cast and series producer 20th Century Fox TV is over.

After months of negotiations, the cast of Fox's long-running animated series reached a new four-year deal with the studio during the weekend.

Under the pact, the top actors will be paid nearly $400,000 per episode. While this is lower than the reported $500,000 the cast originally sought, it remains a significant increase from their current paychecks of about $300,000 an episode. (By contrast, Charlie Sheen is the highest-paid sitcom star, reportedly earning $350,000 per episode in 2006.)

They can probably show up to work in their underwear, record their lines, and go back to whatever it is a person does who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars to read a script.
