acting salaries

I went over to IMDB and I was just floored at the actors' reported salaries....Rachael Leigh Cook made 1.5 million for Josie and the Pussycats?????? I cannot believe it. I took a glance at Kristen Kreuk's salary for her first yr on Smallville, WB only shelled out 40,000 dollars for her? No wonder she continued that and her Canadian Soap, Edgemont doing both shows simultaneously.

I know TV pays less than movies, but this is too much of a discrepancy! I know that TV is more consistent if your show gets renewed yr after yr, but I guess with networks dependent only on ads revenue vs. fans paying to watch cinema, there's a difference.
