68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Arrivals
We hear Shameless star Emmy Rossum fought for equal pay on the show and she won! The actress wanted her paycheck to be the same as fellow actor William H. Macy. It’s even rumored that Rossum wanted her pay to be higher than Macy’s to make up for all the seasons she got paid less. While we don’t know what exactly happened at the negotiating table –Emmy is returning for season 8 so we think she got her well deserved raise. “Playing Fiona Gallagher has been one of the great privileges of my life. I’m so happy to continue w my SHAMELESS family!Back to work in May!” Emmy tweeted, just a few hours ago!

It should be noted that when Emmy started on the show, that William was bigger star at the time, but she’s since come up on the Hollywood ladder—why can’t studios appreciate the talent and pay accordingly! Why is there a fight and a struggle in 2016!
