Blind Item #6

This former A list singer/celebrity is now a B lister in singing and reality. She does get an A at hiding money telling one big company that she needed cash at a recent performance. She gets a tiny check sent to her agent for tax purposes and a big pile of cash in her hands at every show. The big company said it didn't work that way so our singer reluctantly took a check. Guess she will pay taxes on at least one thing this year.

    2. Add me to the "bummed" list. I'm tired of people saying, "Quit complaining about paying so much in taxes, you're lucky you are self employed and make so much money." Uhh, no. I pay assloads of it in taxes!
      My guess is also Xtina.

      @Derek, I love the idea of Mimi lining her own pockets and keeping secrets from Nick.

  4. Maybe Toni Braxton.

  7. What 'big company' is going to risk federal charges plotting to help a greedy B list celebrity evade taxes.

  8. Bankrupt Toni B makes sense for this.

  9. lol, no Kristin? It's the first thing I thought of after reading this:

    "She gets a tiny check sent to her agent for tax purposes and a big pile of cash in her hands at every show."

    That's conspiracy to evade paying federal taxes and the only thing the company would get out of it is major legal trouble if the celeb ever gets caught.

    1. Eek sorry Sky. I'm overly cynical so I assume most big business is corrupt.

  10. @Kristin they do because I always do my best to evade paying taxes, and always get sad when someone gets caught because that means they are one step closer to moi.

    What if the company is not in the US?

  12. Now why did you have to go and complicate things @Cocoa?

  13. Yeah Cocoa! You and your critical thinking skills should know better :)

  14. There are so many ways for corporations to money around to minimize taxes -- legally! -- that we are talking about a celebrity so massively, insanely stupid that this almost has to be part of her public reputation.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Mimi is too lazy to lift a big pile of cash. She'd need a helper.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ah, not at all Kristin. I share your thoughts on the subject, which is why I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the notion of a big business cooperating with a celeb for tax fraud purposes when there's nothing in it for them except the potential for serious legal trouble.

  17. Well based on Amy's observation this has to be Britney then! Good job Amy:)!

  18. Brittany has so many handlers, though. It really does almost have to be someone who isn't high enough up there to have financial handlers AND who has unsuccessfully tried to flat-out evade taxes in the past who is stupid enough to think this is the way that would actually work. I mean it could be anyone who has already been in the headlines for tax problems: Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack, etc.

    @Sandybrook, maybe you should keep quiet about your tax evading tendencies today :(

    1. That's funny since about half of Obamas cabinet and so called czars have been in trouble for not paying, and their tax problems mysterious stopped being reported.

  21. My first thought was LeAnn.

  22. Carrie Underwood. Enty showed a picture of her at an Almay event and stated, "Carrie Underwood selling something for a check" yesterday.

  23. Taxation is theft. As for a guess, Braxton sounds plausible. Irs is an illegal gang enabled by congress to fatten their pockets while the citizens starve.

  24. awww pish posh @Cocoa, Im totally above board and under tables.

  25. Taxes are your ticket for society.

    If you don't pay them, leave.

    You don't deserve the benefits of living here, you sponge.

  26. I don't mind paying taxes, I mind them being wasted & I mind that they seem to always be spent in the richer areas. I also object to people who can work not wanting to work & wanting to sit back & take money. It particularly galls me when so many people want to work & can't find jobs. If I could direct my money it would go to people who want to work, education & health. The infrastructure would be taken care of because if you are physically capable I would expect you to work for the dole (not full-time so you can still look for preferred work). Sorry for the OT, but I think Australia is one of the most wasteful countries for government negligence with our cash.

  27. Oh for fuck's sake, damn the teatards and libertardians. In the immortal words of Sweet Brown, ain't nobody got time for that. Pay your fucking taxes and take advantage of the TEN ZILLION LEGAL LOOPHOLES you already have to get out of paying more, whiners.

    I'll go with Underwood.

  28. For some reason I was thinking Brandy for this. And yes, don't fuck around with your taxes. The IRS doesn't accept plea bargains.

  29. I thought most performers have their going rates on websites that show their appearance fees (at least a range for domestic and international performances). You would think if they were going to be sneaky smurf, they'd at least go 100% under the table. Dunno - but you do not mess around with the IRS. Scary shit

    @Feral Tart
    I 100% agree with everything you said. Let's join forces and rule the world :)

  30. Even if the company paying gives some of the dough in cash they are sure as shit going to 1099 the performer so as not to have to explain where that $ went. Which means eventually the IRS would catch up.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm jaded, so I put nothing past performers, promo companies, and the entertainment industry in its entirety.

  32. Underwood is definitely still A list. Plus she doesn't do reality. No way she's B now.

      @ia d ZZZZZ. We've all read that article, which was actually in the New York Post, not the New York Daily News. Every couple of months or some newbie shows up and tries to shock us by telling us the site is a fake. Today it's you.

  34. JLO. She doesnt want to return to the 'block' so she hides her money. Lol!

  35. Form a non-profit charitable organization, have all of your performances be done as a fundraiser for that organization. Name yourself the head of it, have them pay all of your expenses and pay yourself a small wage. Tax dodging the Hollywood Left Way.

  36. This is SOP in the concert world, and has been since forever. It's called brown bag money. Performers or their managers make sure to collect the brown bag money before going on.

    Promoters are perfectly willing to hand over the cash when the failure to do so means the performer will fall ill and not perform.

    It just gets written off as expenses.
