"I always thought everything would be worked out by the start date [July 30.
"When it wasn't, it certainly wasn't a good feeling, but there was absolutely no getting around the fact that everything had to be dealt with and finished before we could get back.
"When suddenly everybody is guessing, or some even getting close, to the ballpark of what you're earning--well, that's interesting, that everyone knows what you make.
"You see the word 'strike'--'They're walking out!'--but there was nothing to walk out from...That's always hard, because part of you wants to explain to people what's really going on. 'Don't worry, we're not leaving, we want to do the show.'"
Apparently. the money is already said to have changed the highest paid woman on television, Kaley Cuoco.
According to questionably reputable Star Magazine September 1, print edition, the 28-year-old starlet is starting think its high time she did something to protect this fortune from the love of her life, Ryan Sweeting:
"[Kaley] is in the middle of drawing up a postnuptial agreement with husband...so that she can protect her massive new fortune in case they ever split."
Well...if Kaley and Ryan ever do wind up splitting up, she can always just buy herself a new love of life. They can't be that expensive.
