Matthew Fox of ‘Lost’ gets mo’ money

I gave you the scoop last week that Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly were asking ABC to bump up their “Lost” paychecks.
Well, there’s no word on Lilly’s salary yet—or on whether the rest of the renegotiating ensemble cast will get a raise, too—but Fox must be one happy castaway.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the actor will now get about $225,000 per episode, up from the $150,000 he was making.
According to THR, that’s what the leading ladies of “Desperate Housewives”—also on ABC—are raking in.
Jack-haters may wonder if Fox is worth that much—or that much more than the rest of the Losties.
But is he worth significantly less than Zach Braff?
Last year, NBC promised the “Scrubs” star a reported $350,000-an-episode to bring the show back for another season—then the network dumped it because of low ratings.
ABC picked it up for its eighth year—presumably agreeing to Braff’s insane salary—and then buried the sitcom in mid-season.
Go figure.
