The ladies of "Desperate Housewives" could be set for life when the show ends this spring.

Though they don't all make the same money, Forbes puts the core stars on its top-10 of
the highest-paid TV actresses.

There's a tie at the top of the Forbes list between Tina Fey and Eva Longoria.

Between May of last year and May of this year, Forbes says each earned $13 million.

Fey has more going on than acting.

She produces and writes "30 Rock."

Longoria has endorsement deals with L'Oreal and LG.

Marcia Cross ties with Mariska Hargitay and Marg Helgenber with $10 million for the year.

Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman each earned $9 million.

Also in the Forbes top-10 are Courteney Cox and Ellen Pompeo with $7 million and new Emmy-winner Julianna Margulies with $6 million.
