The Wire Transfer

CDAN: Haven't heard from our accountant in awhile, but he said this A list film actress received a wire transfer of $1M from the actor she is "dating."

Methinks: Reese and Jake

The Sly Producer

CDAN: This producer from a wealthy family is famous for his low budget productions and his screwing of actresses and actors both literally and figuratively. His M.O. is to get his cast to sign what appear to be lucrative back end gross percentage deals. The actresses are in particular thankful and he uses this as a tool to sleep with them. He keeps this up during the filming. After the film is released, he claims the movie has not made any money, and in fact has lost so much, that he has to declare bankruptcy in the corporation he established for the film, thus denying all the payments owed to cast members. He then dumps the actress in question, and when confronted by agents and managers offers a ridiculously low settlement while he keeps adding to his fortune and moves on to his next film and actress.

Methinks: Steve Bing, one time Nicole Kidman lover. At the age of 18, Bing inherited an estimated $600 million from his grandfather, Leo S. Bing, who had made his fortune in New York real estate in the 1920s

Swindled

CDAN, October 10th: This married, aging, raspy, B list television and film actor who uses a fake name as his stage name had to file for bankruptcy in the past month when he ended up losing most of his money in a hedge fund in which he had invested heavily. Unable to meet some margin calls, he had to get a mortgage on both of his homes which had been completely paid off. He also had to sell many of his prized collector's items, but in the end he just couldn't get it all together and was forced to declare bankruptcy. Look for him to be almost everywhere in the next year as he attempts to start trying to build back his fortune. A male talk show host was also involved in the same fund, but had enough personal assets that he made it through ok.

Methinks: Martin Sheen, Don Johnson and Larry King

On the Bones of her Ass

From the Panache Report 9th April:

This black female celebrity has a house full of kids by at least 2-3 different men and she's miserable; she's also on welfare. She doesn’t receive child support from the men and she may be evicted soon. She can’t understand, a former boyfriend has money but refuses to share it with her and he knows she’s struggling. In the past, she hooked up with a white Hollywood powerbroker and she was bragging to friends, ‘my financial worries will be over soon.’ The powerbroker sexed her and moved on, she was devastated. She’s not getting any younger and there are less opportunities to snag a rich man.

Methinks: Shar Jackson, Kevin Federline
Hollywood powerbroker: Quentin Tarantino
