Before she was anything, this former A list singer turned B list mostly movie actress was this A list Academy Award winner's favorite escort. She got her start because of who he knew. A marriage to her boyfriend would be her biggest payday.
@TRD I lol'd and then cried inside. I remember one of her music videos where she was driving a green VW bug and she was barely 15 years old and couldn't even legally drive.
Googling 'singer who was a prostitute' turned up a Nigerian "gospel" singer named Maheeda. Gospel is in quotes because the video that I stumbled across wasn't like any gospel I've ever seen. Uh...no. I love stumble-upons.
She got her start because of who he knew. A marriage to her boyfriend would be her biggest payday. *key word "would" Aaliyah is dead so it would never happen ---it could work but still no dice...
I don't think he was her biggest payday and he was broke as hell when she married him. She made MUCH more money post-Sonny. He biggest payday comes from gay discos in the 80s and their survivors. Do you believe in life after love? I would if I could turn back time. Definitely post-Sonny No Ski.
Mandy Moore is married to Ryan (Don't call me Bryan and I'll hit you with this mike stand if you request I play "Summer of 69" or "Cuts Like a Knife") Adams.
I know I know...Barry Gordy connection w/ MOTOWN father of her child et al.. but escorted to events w/Sidney Portier Jack Nicholson & Quincy Jones back in da day??? don't yell at me
Madonna was HUGE before she hooked up with Warren Beatty. If anything, she was the bigger star than him then. She's now and forever an A+ legend--even if you don't like her music.
Cher and Sonny married when she was, like, 17 or so, and at the time, he was somewhat successful as a songwriter. HE groomed HER to be a star. After their divorce, he had the "Sonny Show" which tanked, and she had the "Cher Show" which was a hit. Cher's career soared after they broke up, and Sonny became a politician. Cher is another forever A+ legend.
Olivia Newton John won a singing contest as a teen, and had hit after hit on the country charts (i.e. "I Honestly Love You," "Let Me Be There," "Have You Never Been Mellow," and "Please Mister Please") years before "Grease." She even sang backup on John Denver's "Fly Away" in 1974. Another A+ legend.
Not all successful women got their start as escorts. Some are just plain talented.

ReplyDeleteMadonna needs to marry someone for a payday?
ratings for Nicole wrong
Latifah is gay

I'm not a Madonna fan, but she wouldn't be former A...
DeleteMadonna still mostly sings and she does not need money.
ReplyDeleteAalyiah and Jamie Foxx?
Mandy started as a young young teen and still makes bad music and worse movies
ReplyDeleteAaliyah has passed!
ReplyDeleteduh lol

ReplyDeleteCher...and marrying Sonny was a huge payday.
ReplyDeleteCher and Warren Beatty. She's said she knew him when she was a teen and he chased after her
ReplyDeleteShe got her start because of who he knew. A marriage to her boyfriend would be her biggest payday.
ReplyDelete*key word "would" Aaliyah is dead so it would never happen
---it could work but still no dice...
Cher is A list singer---don't you people know any gay men lol
ReplyDeleteDaniel? Is that you?
DeleteWhy he adores Cher I will never .... Oh wait. Yes I know.
Except for the payday thing, I like the Cher guess. Worked on Sunset Strip at 16. Dancing.
ReplyDeleteNot that there's anything wrong with that.
@Derek why, whatever do you mean :) Anyway, scratch that guess. I didn't give properly weigh the last sentence.
ReplyDeletewell Aaliyah had an interesting past that she didn't like to discuss for good reason (R Kelly) and weird rumors about being bi (Missy Elliott)
ReplyDeletemarriage to Damon Dash?
idk--I loved her though-what a beautiful voice and style-she had so much promise
"would be" means it came to be that her biggest payday was because of marrying her boyfriend. Sonny and Cher.
ReplyDeleteYou can't assume something would be, if it hasn't happened. You don't know that for fact yet.
I don't think he was her biggest payday and he was broke as hell when she married him. She made MUCH more money post-Sonny. He biggest payday comes from gay discos in the 80s and their survivors.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe in life after love?
I would if I could turn back time.
Definitely post-Sonny No Ski.
*HER, dammit
ReplyDeleteI did @ Violet my bad :(
ReplyDelete(was alive & conscious during both the Sonny & Cher era and the Cher, Disco Queen era)
ReplyDelete(FML)
Mandy Moore is married to Ryan (Don't call me Bryan and I'll hit you with this mike stand if you request I play "Summer of 69" or "Cuts Like a Knife") Adams.
ReplyDeleteMandy started as a kid anyway this cant possibly be her.
ReplyDeleteThis is someone current. Not dead, not from 40 years ago. The wording of the last sentence tells us this.
ReplyDeleteDoris Day for singer turned actress.
ReplyDeleteShe'd do anything for the animals.
Diana Ross married Swedish Billionaire
ReplyDeleteI know I know...Barry Gordy connection w/ MOTOWN father of her child et al.. but escorted to events w/Sidney Portier Jack Nicholson & Quincy Jones back in da day??? don't yell at me
ReplyDeleteVanessa Williams
ReplyDeleteeve too... married her billionaire baby daddy Max Cooper,
ReplyDeleteWho is an a list singer turned b list movie actress and is still young enough to marry her boyfriend, Jennifer Lopez,,?
ReplyDeleteRight exactly. Most singers turned actors were A list except for Madonna.
DeleteBennifer lol
ReplyDeleteHm. How about Whitney Houston?
ReplyDeleteAlthough that marriage to her boyfriend thing doesn't fit if we're talking about NOW. Seeing as how she is gone and all. Back to my wine.
ReplyDeleteOlivia newton John
ReplyDeletePayday marriage- amazon John Easterling
Who she knew? Travolta?
like the d ross swiss billionaire guess
ReplyDeleteThe way this is worded this is about someone current. If she married the man she's seeing now it would be her biggest payday.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea.
Wow. Lots of young'uns here today, it seems.
