How much are the stars of Gossip Girl worth?  TV Guide has released their list of top earners on TV, and only two actors under 30 made the list:  Chace Crawford, 24, and Blake Lively, 21.  The two stars, who play Nate Archibald and Serena van der Woodsen on the teen soap, Gossip Girl, each made $50,000 an episode this year.  That adds up to $1.2 million each year, for each of them!  After working just one episode, they could each buy a new 2009 Jaguar XF, and still have a little change left over for lunch!

If Lively and Crawford were willing to do a reality show, they might be able to make a little bit more.  Before she quit the show, Lauren Conrad, 23, was making $75,000 an episode on MTV's pseudo-reality show, The Hills.

Of course, they still have to grow up to make the big, big bucks that Hollywood has to offer. Kiefer Sutherland makes $550,000 per episode on the Fox drama 24, and the ladies of Desparate Housewives each make $400,000 an episode.  But $50,000 an episode and lots of adoring fans?  That still sounds like a pretty good deal for two stars who haven't even hit 25!
