Clooney buys lottery tickets in bid to win millions for Haitiansbuys

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Hollywood star George Clooney has been spotted buying lottery tickets – in an attempt to win money for Haiti.

According to reports, the actor and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis were spotted in an official Italian SuperEnalotto game shop this week.

They were reportedly seen buying dozens and dozens of tickets in the £117 million jackpot.

UK Star magazine claimed Clooney, who has a home in Lake Como, told pals: “The jackpot is so high, so why not try?”

The heartthrob, who recently fronted a telethon in the US that raised more than $50 million, apparently wants to spend the millions helping the earthquake victims in Haiti.

At the telethon event, he said: “This is a tragedy that reaches across all borders, all boundaries. It demands our attention, our help and our compassion. The Haitian people need help. They need to know that they are not alone. They need to see that we still care.”

Lady GaGa’s delicate financial situation

Friday, July 10th, 2009

It seems that the pop singer finds herself in a bit of a pickle money-wise and it’s all due to her concerts and her costumes which hare so gosh-darned expensive. Lady GaGa explained: “I’ve gone bankrupt about four times now. My manager wants to shoot me! Every dollar I earn goes on the show. Now we’re finally getting to a place where it’s not bankruptcy. Then again, with another tour coming up soon I’ll probably be homeless again.” Yeah, that’s what happens when you’re as dedicated to art as Lady GaGa is. But she probably doesn’t have to worry about being homeless. Why, with her charms, she can probably find a bed to sleep in anytime.

The global financial crisis has hit Gisele Bundchen’s pay packet, with the Brazilian supermodel raking in just $25 million this year – down $10 million from 2008, says Forbes magazine.

Still, it was more than enough for the publication to name her the world’s top-earning model for the third year in a row.

Bundchen, married to NBA football star Tom Brady, models for Versace, Dior, True Religion jeans and Ebel watches.

Heidi Klum finished in second place with $16 million but she earned $2 million more than the previous year. Klum is host on Germany’s Next Top Model and Project Runway and is a model for Victoria’s Secret. She also promotes Diet Coke, Volkswagen and LG.

Kate Moss has kept third place, with $8.5 million, earning $1 million more than the year before.

Completing the top five are Adriana Lima, who last week announced her pregnancy to basketball star Marko Jaric, and Doutzen Kroes. This makes the leaders the same as last year.

Australia’s Miranda Kerr rose from 10th to ninth place this year. She earned $3 million after landing several deals, including Victoria’s Secret.

The full list: 1. Gisele Bundchen – $25 million; 2. Heidi Klum – $US16 million; 3. Kate Moss – $US8.5 million; 4. Adriana Lima – $US8 million; 5. Doutzen Kroes – $US6 million; 6. Alessandra Ambrosio – $US6 million; 7. Natalia Vodianova – $US5.5 million; 8. Daria Werbowy – $US4.5 million; 9. Miranda Kerr – $US3 million; 10. Carolyn Murphy – $US3 million

Gisele Bundchen has again been named the world’s highest-earning model.

The Brazilian-born beauty topped a Forbes.com list for the third year in a row after raking in an estimated $25m.

But despite making millions between June 2008 and June 2009, she made $10m less than the previous year – largely due to the global economic crisis.

Gisele Bundchen, 28, who recently wed US football star Tom Brady, has lucrative campaign deals with a string of fashion firms, including True Religion jeans and Versace. She also has her own successful shoe line.

Heidi Klum was in second place, with $16m, and Kate Moss came third, earning an estimated $8.5m.

Hurley's Gonna Be Filthy Rich

That’s the truth, if she doesn’t start forking over more money to her poor maid.

According to the Indian maid Violet D’Souza, Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar paid her only $200 a week for as much as 70 hours of work. This comes out to as little as $2.33 an hour, when minimum wage in London is $10.71. To make it worse, they paid her in Indian currency.

A hearing was set for Thursday, but apparently Liz settled out of court with five figures. Her lawyer and agent would not give a comment on the case.

Miami Gets a Spritz of Paris

Heiress turned reality show diva turned pop singer is now trying to break into the fragrance market for a second time. She was in Miami to promote her new “Can Can” perfume.

Umm, maybe I’m crazy, but do people really want to smell like Paris Hilton? Isn’t that kinda like smelling like a two bit floozie?

She has her good points, I suppose, like throwing designer baby showers for her friends, but really. Does she need the extra money she might make from selling a few bottles of cheap eau de toilette? (Do you realize that’s French for toilet water?)

Smells like more money for Paris, though….

Heather Mills In Serious Debt

Heather Mills In Serious Debt

She is a out and out commoner and a gold digger. Here are some things you all might not know about her….
Was a homeless street urchin, father in Jail, she ran away from mom who subsequently died. Got herself pregnant, and went to Yugoslavia to have an abortion, that turned out to be a tubal pregnancy, was a teen street model there, married her Arab pimp, who apparently brokered the nude photo shoot that turned into a sex manual! War broke out and she ran back to England, and divorced the Arab guy. Supposedly while in Yugoslavia she supposedly helped raise funds for the refugees though, we here have never heard of her or have seen any documentation to this effect, and it appears to be all made up for the press!
Ok so its sad she lost her leg in a an accident with a police motorcycle in England…So sad…but she sells the story of the accident while in her hospital bed! Then did anyone know that she was engaged to be married to Chris Terrel a movie maker in England, but when she met Paul McCartney a few days before the wedding she called it off and went after the millionaire Singer. So they marry, and then the porn star has an affair with her personal trainer, McCartney finds out and sues for divorce….
Hmmmm…I think in many circles this is the defination of a X@@##! and a gold digger…now she wants 100 million pounds…and she will probably get it…wonder who will be the next victim?

Britney is a Big Spender

You would think that she’s already spending too much on take out food and Starbucks coffee but what’s a couple million more to be spent on a house? Britney Spears is reportedly looking to buy a $9 million house in Malibu.

But she is left with another option. According to the LA Times’ Hot Property, the pop star has a lease-option on the 8,500 square foot estate that stands on five acres in a canyon and is described as having “towering trees and park-like grounds”. The house is a French style estate that was built in 1942.

The place also has ocean and mountain views but unfortunately, no Taco Bell or McDonald’s in sight. But then again, she does have a car.
