Kristin Cavallari Is Being Paid Handsomely To Star On ‘The Hills’
After filming her first scenes as the new star of MTV’s reality TV series The Hills last week, Kristin Cavallari continued her work on the show this week as she was seen filming more new scenes for the upcoming season of the show. According to reports, Kristin is being paid upwards of $63,000 per episode to be on the show (only $2,000 less per ep than former star Lauren LC Conrad was being paid … a salary she earned after being on the show for years).

Kristin was the obvious choice.” According to the source, Kristin used MTV’s desperation to replace Lauren to her advantage during contract negotiations. “She wanted money. You don’t have to pay the other girls that kind of money, but for Kristin you had to pay up.” At least one member of the cast believes the tongue-lashing Kristin’s tenure on The Hills will be worth every penny. “She’s so fun and crazy,” says series star Holly Montag. “Kristin’s not afraid to put anything on camera. She’s not going to hold anything back.”
In my estimation, Kristin Cavallari is worth every penny. …
