does anyone know? Obviously Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt would be more than let's say Maggie Wheeler, but do we have any idea the range of money they get?

Ok, the information I've got is not 100% sure but I read somewhere that Bruce Willis was signed for 1M $ per episode he starred in (that would make a nice three million dollars) but he donated it all to charity of some kind. The info was in german (which is not my native language) and about the time the episode was originally aired so my memory could play tricks with it. And some of the guest stars play in the show because they are invited by one of the members cast, so they usually do it for less money as expected, as we could see with B. Crystal and Robin Williams in the 3rd season - they were suppossebly (supposebly?-how the hell do you write this word?) invited by Lisa kudrow after "Analyze this", B. Willis - by M. Perry after "the whole 9 yards", and let's guess who has the closest relations with B. Pitt and could invite him to the show?

Don't know what they were paid, but adding a few to your list: David Arquette by Courteney Cox. And Jon Lovitz by Lisa Kudrow

I really can't believe this. That would mean paying him as much as one of the show's full-time stars. I can't believe they'd have the budget for that.

I would be pretty angry if I was one of the six if I heard that a guest star was getting what they are getting only 8 years of negotiating.

Just to clarify the issue: supposedly means it "is generally accepted" which seams to be roughly what you meant here. Supposably means, "it is possible to imagine."

The difference is obviously subtle, which is supposedly why people use the two words incorrectly. In fact, supposably is so often misused that many people are under the impression that it isn't a word. Even the MS Outlook spellchecker doesn't recognize it. However, it is in the Oxford College, Webster's, and Readers Digest Great Encyclopedic dictionaries.

I care! I've been wondering about this for years. Ever since Joey brought it up in one of the episodes.

That's what I thought as well, in the same vein as "did you know gullible isn't even in the dictionary?" However, go see: http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=supposably

Sure enough, there it is.

That said, it is hard to imagine that those who actually say "supposably" intend to use that word as opposed to "supposedly," rather like those who use "irregardless" when they should use "regardless."

  ^^^^^

Seams means the plural of "the line formed by sewing together pieces of cloth, leather, or the like." Seems means "to appears to be" which seems to be roughly what you meant here. :)

Sorry, I could't let it go under these "corrective" circumstances. :)

LOL I was about to respond with something like, "Its what is not misspelled?" You beat me to the punch. :-))

Thanks. The easy way to remember it is that "its" is spelt the same way as "hers" and "ours" and "yours"; while "it's" is "it is".

So "it's mine" means "It is mine." So how would you use "its" then? See now you got me all confused...lol.

'Its' denotes ownership, or a property of <blank>. For example, if you had a long-haird cat, you could say that 'its hair is long;' you use it in the same way that you'd use 'hers' or 'his' ('his hair is long' and 'her hair is long' make sense). 'It's,' as mentioned above, means 'it is;' if you replaced it in the sentence above, it would make no sense ('it is hair is long').

Anesly, hoping that clears it up a little.

I think you spelled it *that* way on purpose. You can't stick an ancient city on a car, much less find more than one Tyre.

Damn, Tennant, you got me! I was trying to be so accurate! Supposably I could call you on "misspelt" versus "misspelled" but you'd probably tell me it's an English versus American thing. :)
