Kim Kardashian's BIG New Year's Eve Payday

It that’s time of year again when the celebrities head to Vegas to ring in the New Year, and although Kim Kardashian had a bit of a rough ending to her 2011, her paycheck for a New Year’s Eve gig may lift her spirits.

According to new reports, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star will bring in roughly $600,000 to make an appearance at Tao Nightclub at the Venetian.

At this point, Kim is the highest paid celebrity heading to Vegas this year – “Black Eyed Peas” Fergie is said to be next in line, as she will earn over $100,000 for a performance at the Mirage Hotel and Casino.

Word has it, Ashton Kutcher had several big money offers but declined each one while P. Diddy has decided to throw a private soiree at his home in Miami after not liking the offer from Hyde Lounge at the Bellagio.
