It happens to the best of them. Celebrities who entrust their finances to other people and end up holding the bag.
In Shakira's case, Spanish authorities say she skipped over $13 million in taxes! That's a whole other ball game.
A trial date has not yet been set, per the outlet, but the star faces a possible eight-year sentence plus a large fine if she is found guilty of not paying taxes from 2012 to 2014.
In July, she rejected a settlement offer in the case, according to Reuters, whic...
Kelly Ripa has been the chipper blonde on your tv every morning since you first started getting up at 10am. Or Since February 2001, depending on which applies to you.
I was a huge fan of the original set up with Kelly and Regis. They were perfect together. Or were they? Their back stage relationship and more are discussed in her new book; Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories.
Speaking with People on Monday, Ripa opened up about her “complicated” relationship with Philbin. “I don’t want to feel like I’m slamming anyone or that I’m being disrespectful. But I also want people to know it was not a cakewalk,” she told the outlet.
“It took years to earn my place there and earn things that are routinely given to the men I worked with — including an office and a place to put my computer,” she added.
Ripa sat down to write Live Wire during the pandemic because, she quipped, 'all the gyms were closed.'
'It is so hard and I don't think I really appreciated what a grueling process it would be until I tried to do it myself,' she admitted of her foray into the written word. 'Everybody has been instructed that if I ever tried to do it again, they have to kill me. They have to stop me. I must be stopped.'

Rihanna has been graced with the monumental task of entertaining millions between the first and second halves of the Superbowl in 2023.
Riri broke the news on Instagram on Sunday by sharing an image of just a football.
This also puts to bed rumors that Taylor Swift was going to take on the job.
Roc Nation later posted the same image on its respective Instagram account, writing, "Let's GO," and tagging Rihanna and the NFL, while adding the hashtag "#SBLVII."

What you say? You may not have noticed but there are more and more people on this planet every day. To the tune 7,920,000,000 people on earth. 331,000,000 in the US alone.
If we keep putting the dead in the ground we'll eventually have no where but out national parks to turn into housing space.
But California, as always, has a way that saves the space and even helps the land!
"We have a climate change crisis out there and i don't want to contribute to it.," said Assemblywoman Christina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens)
"This cycle of returning back to earth is nothing new," said Garcia.
Garcia is talking about human composting, where human remains naturally decompose over about a month after being put in a reusable container and buried in biodegradable materials like wood chips and alfalfa, which break down into soil that can later be returned to families.
"It's compost. It's soil that we're talking about...that could be used to plant trees, to plant a garden. And it's also good for the environment," she said.
Brilliant. Imagine growing a tree with the compost from your loved one. They actually BECOME the tree!!
I hope this idea spreads.

Kathy Griffin was once a pretty beloved comedian who had a slip up when she held up a pretend beheaded Donald Trump for a photo and people went a little nuts. Even someone as gross as Donald... its a little too much with the beheading.
But on Kimmel last night Kathy discuss the drastic change in her voice. It's softer and more high pitch. It almost sounds cartoony. (see clip at end of article)
The voice change comes after she was diagnosed with lung cancer and had one half of one lung...
Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical coming-of-age story “The Fabelmans” won the Toronto International Film Festival’s people’s choice award, which is a sure sign of at the very least, ongoing critical success.
TIFF’s people’s choice award is one of the most reliable predictors of eventual Oscar success. In past years, winners such as “Green Book” and “Nomadland” went on to capture the best picture prize at the Academy Awards. Other recent recipients, including ...
I'm fascinated with AI art. I waited months on queue to get my invite to DALL-E, the hands down big daddy of AI art programs.
But I love this idea of seeing how our dearly departed celebrity loves may look should they be alive still today.
I'm especially intrigued because recently someone told me that Marilyn Monroe and Queen Elizabeth were born the same year. Yet because Marilyn died so young, we don't see her as able to be that old.
Lets get into it. Thanks to the MyModernMet for the tip!
Tupak!

An Instagram model is claiming she had a year long affair with a famous married singer. Now, the internet is scandalized.
The catch here, of course, is that Adam Levine has been married to model Behati Prinsloo since 2014. The couple recently announced they're expecting their 3rd child together.
In a TikTok confessional, (see below), Sumner Stroh claimed she had a year-long affair with 43-year-old Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.

Without dating myself too deeply, I was around when this show opened. 35 years ago The Phantom of the Opera opened on Broadway to instant success.
Famous for its crashing chandelier at the climax of the first act, Phantom has been leaving theater patrons delighted and mesmerized since the 80's, but all good things must come to and end.
The international hit musical is closing its doors because it has been unable to meet its weekly running costs since it returned following the pandemic. However, Phantom was the top box-office draw for years. In terms of grosses and media coverage, it was the Hamilton of its day.
The Tony-winning musical plays its final performance (its 13,925th) at the Majestic Theatre February 18, 2023. Prior to closing, the production, which resumed performances October 22, 2021, following the pandemic, will celebrate its 35th anniversary January 26.
