All have made more money there than they could have ever hoped to here, where even stars earn less than $20 a month.

The difference is that this time around, the stars are earning fat fees from the marketing departments of giant pharmaceutical companies.

Not stars by any means, but good second-rate players, doing their work creditably and earning an honest living.

A two-sport star, he earned varsity letters in baseball and basketball for all four years.

Top stars can earn $25,000 to $100,000 a night.

Earning points earn the players stars, which show how well the player did on a song.

The title is a reference to how the stars would earn stripes on their uniforms when they advanced to the next round of the competition.

The star earned his contractual $150,000 salary and nearly half a million dollars in profit sharing.

These days, the biggest stars earn "the max" and are surrounded by their agents and entourages.

Others may earn a couple of thousand dollars a show, although the top stars of the Food Network can earn 10 times as much.
