Isla Catalina. Ever Heard of it?

Catalina Island, or Isla Catalina, is a tropical island 1.5 miles from the mainland on the south east corner of the Dominican Republic and has over 9,000 inhabitants (thank you Wikipedia because I did not know that).

Wild Belle’s “Keep You”

I’ve come across unsettling comments in regards to Wild Belle‘s music video  for Keep You, which depicts a little boy having a relationship with grown women. I mean, I get it but then there are some very disturbed and even classified the video as encouraging pedophilia. Here’s my take on the viral: there’s a young boy because the man is obviously behaving like a child. The message is clear. He needs to grow up and stop acting so childish. Anyways, I like the song and the video for its location. Check it out if you haven’t yet and tell us what you think about the concept. Continue reading “Wild Belle’s “Keep You””

WARNING: TRUST NO ONE!

Rihanna‘s latest lawsuit is proof that you absolutely cannot trust anyone in entertainment when it comes to handling your money. My advise, manage your own finances. Take the time and educate yourself on the topic and know what’s going on with your shit. What the hell? This is only the latest entertainer to have trouble with accountants. The latter being blamed constantly for causing tax issues for celebrities. 

In Rihanna’s situation, the entertainer is suing her former accountants for tens of millions of dollars in losses, shoddy bookkeeping, a failure to recommend  trimming expenses when a 2009 tour was losing money and an ongoing audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Let’s not get into the fact that her tours don’t sell out, cause that’s a whole nother post.  Continue reading “WARNING: TRUST NO ONE!”
