Who are TV's highest paid actresses?

Tina Fey and Eva Longoria are among the actresses raking in big bucks on the small screen.

The "30 Rock" and "Desperate Housewives" stars tied for the top spot on Forbes' list of the highest paid TV actresses. Both women earned $13 million between May 2010 and May 2011.

Longoria wasn't the only "Desperate" actress to make the list - Marcia Cross came in third, bringing in $10 million, and Felicity Huffman and Teri Hatcher tied with $9 million each.

Mariska Hargitay of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and Marg Helgenberger of "CSI" tied with Cross for third place, also earning $10 million each.

Others who made the list include Courteney Cox ("Cougar Town"), Ellen Pompeo ("Grey's Anatomy") and Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife").

All 10 women on the list earned a combined total of $94 million between May 2010 and May 2011, Forbes reports. But that's small change compared to what their big screen counterparts make - just the top three women in movies earned $88 million combined during that same time period.

Ways To Avoid ATM Fees

Bank ATM fees will go up or have gone up in the last few months. Banks need to turn a profit. If loans made them worried, fees will make you broke. In shocking news Bank of America plans to start charging customers a $5 monthly fee for using their debit card to make purchases. The fee will be rolled out starting early next year.

The debit card fee isn’t the only unwelcome change for checking account customers are seeing either. The banking industry has been raising fees and scaling back on rewards programs as they adjust to new regulations that will limit traditional revenue sources.Starting Oct. 1, a regulation will cap the fees that banks can collect from merchants whenever customers swipe their debit cards. Those fees generated $19 billion in revenue for banks in 2009, according to the Nilson Report, which tracks the payments industry.

There is no similar cap on the fees that banks can collect from merchants when customers use their credit cards, however. That means banks may increasingly encourage customers to reach for their credit cards, reversing a trend toward debit card usage in the past several years.

So here are ten ways to beat ATM fees. Please add your own.

How To Make Money With Google Adsense

If you have a website or a blog, you should definitely sign up for Google Adsense. It’s one of the few programs you can truly ‘set and forget’ – once it’s there you don’t really need to do much else with it.

But there are ways and means to maximize your income from Google Adsense, and as you get to know more about it you can start to generate a decent income from it that will keep rolling in month after month. It’s a true passive income, which is why so many people are using it.

Most people have heard of Google Adsense, but not everyone understands exactly how to use it to its best advantage. So we’ll start with how to use it in its most basic sense and then progress to the more advanced benefits you can get from the program.

The 7 Laws of Leanness

Why do some people seem naturally thin—able to torch cheeseburgers instantly and never gain a pound? And why do some of us—okay, most of us—sweat and diet and sweat and diet some more, and never lose enough to get the body we want?

Because those “naturally thin” people actually live by a series of laws that keep them from ever gaining weight. And if you know their secrets, you can indulge and enjoy and never gain another pound as long as you live.

As the editor-in-chief of Men’s Health, I’ve spent the past two decades interviewing leading experts, poring over groundbreaking studies, and grilling top athletes, trainers, and celebrities for their health and fitness advice. And I’ve learned that what separates the fit from the fat, the slim from the sloppy, the toned from the torpid, is a set of rules. And what’s amazing is that none of them involves spending hours on a treadmill, eating nothing but grapefruit and tree bark, or having part of the small intestine replaced with fiberfill. Follow these simple rules and weight loss will be automatic.

Save or Earn $1,000 by the Holidays

It's not too early to get a head start on the holidays — saving for the holidays, that is. By making moves now to cut costs or earn extra money, you can save up to $1,000 or more over the next two months to pay for holiday gifts with cash rather than credit. See: Stop Wasting Your Money

I've skipped several of the usual savings recommendations (such as dining out less) and highlighted some cost-cutting moves you might not have considered. The actual savings and earnings in the examples below will vary (especially depending on which ones you can implement). But they do show it is possible to generate an extra $1,000 over two months. Be sure to share your money-saving tips in the reader comments box below.

Ways to save

·         Adjust your tax withholding. The average tax refund this year was nearly $2,805. If you got a refund, stop paying Uncle Sam too much throughout the year and keep that money for yourself (or gifts for others). You simply need to change your tax withholding by filing a new W-4 with your employer's human resources department. To find out how many exemptions you should be claiming, try our easy-to-use Tax Withholding Calculator. The changes will go into effect on your next paycheck. TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $467.50 (based on the average refund)

·         Ditch the premium cable TV package. When I canceled my expensive premium cable package and opted for the cheap, basic service, I started saving $80 a month — more than $950 a year. See Budget-Friendly Alternatives to Cable TV for sources of free or cheap programming and movies. (Note: I kept basic cable service to score a discount on my phone and Internet services.) TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $160

Times Square Redesign Plan Unveiled

MIDTOWN— Forget painted blue walkways and multicolored beach chairs.

The Times Square of the future will feature dark, concrete flooring punctuated by small metal rivets designed to bring some of the grit back to the Great White Way, according to a multi-million-dollar redesign plan unveiled Monday night.

The plan, which will officially cement the plazas as permanent structures, calls for the leveling of surfaces across the plazas from 42nd to 47th street to create a continuous pedestrian space, with no vestiges of the old curbs and sidewalks that used to mark the roadway.

"We want to remove the ups and downs and make it simpler and flatter," said Craig Dykers, an architect with Snohetta Design, who gave members of Midtown Community Board 5's Transportation Committee a sneak-peak at the $27 million preliminary plan on behalf of the city's Department of Design and Construction.

Snohetta is also the team behind the 9/11 Museum at the World Trade Center site.

Under the proposed design, the ground surface of the plazas would be made from two tones of dark concrete pavers, arranged in an alternating brick pattern to differentiate it from a regular street. Some sections would also feature embedded stainless steel "pucks" about the size of nickels, intended to add some pizazz by reflecting light off the marquees around them.
