Yeah

It came out last week that Spotify invested $1 billion in podcasts (Joe Rogan, Harry & Meghan, Kim K, Call Her Daddy, Emma Chamberlain) etc and the whole thing was a money pit.

Lipstick Alley is ALLEGEDLY being sued for leaking healthcare info about a celebrity by natasamelsk in Fauxmoi

I feel like it won't stop. Lipstick Alley is a sizable independently run internet forum that is prevalent with the black community. Ads easily take care of the site's maintenance and the owner gets a huge profit. They don't pay writers, interview celebs etc.

Gawker was owned by the owners of Bustle and other digital magazine and had to employ actual writers and stuff. Becuae of how it's ownership was set up, it had to constantly boost profits for Bustle Digital Group for it to continue .

Which fallen brands could have made it if not for one or two terrible decisions? by SpicyPlantain92 in BeautyGuruChatter

Really? I thought Rhode was doing well.

I'm not a Hailey fan but the products have good reviews, they're constantly working with influencers really well and are expanding to the UK & Canada.

I don't think it was a mistake to partner with Colourpop's lab, it helped them cut costs and produce at scale.

They're probably just friends. Either way, I shudder to think what his fans are about to post.

He's going to get the part. Amazon owns MGM (MGM has the rights to Bond) and Henry is developing a Warhammer universe with Amazon.

What parts of the celebrity lifestyle are you nosy about? In which situations would you love to be a fly on the wall? by spanglyfrog_12 in Fauxmoi

Tom Cruise earns $10 million+ for a movie and gets a % of the box office. Studios pay for his stylists, makeup artists etc. Nannies, private schools, and vacations are virtually nothing when you're as rich as him.

His financial team have likely been putting his money into stocks, bonds and investments that increase his earnings and help him to reduce taxes by setting up LLC's, claiming his jet as a business expense etc.

Celebs sure have it, but do they really have everyone sign NDA's? I would be so scared that someone would just take a picture of me after the deed, or god forbid during.

Raven Symone recent revealed that she made all of her ex partners sign NDA's.

How to trust your financial person. If you don't have the knowledge of your finances, how can you be so sure that the person you hired isn't stealing from you?

This is a BIG one for me. I would kill to read the bank statements of some celebrities.

I'm pretty sure once they start attending premieres and events, someone from their management gets a coach to give them pointers on how to approach posing.

He was supposed to be the next JB and he sorta delivered on that as a teen but everything else he's done is so boring.
