Today's Blind Items - The Celebrity Sex Broker - Part Four
From Cash To Furs To Blood Diamonds And Endorsements – How A Celebrity Gets Paid For Sex - Tax Evasion At Its Finest
During his time in LA, Bani would give me a call and tell me he needed to reschedule. It would be buyer or seller or some other kind of issue he would deal with but I never really understood until I asked. I guess I assumed that all of the celebrities were paid in cash or wire transfers. I was wrong. It is not the first time. Bani said that everyone was happy to pay in cash of course or do a wire transfer, but most celebrities wanted it to be untaxed income. To do this, they either had to get paid in cash and not declare the money to customs when entering the country or figure out a way to get several wire transfers beneath the mandatory $10,000 reporting requirement to the IRS. The problem with both of those is the former involved not just the failure to declare the money but how to smuggle in some cases $250,000 in cash without any security checkpoint person seeing it in your luggage. With the latter trick, banks notice repeated transfers of amounts under the limit and the IRS can seize your bank account and make you explain why you are not guilty while they hold the money.
Until 9/11 these types of rules either didn’t exist or were rarely enforced. The technology and the will to enforce them were lacking. Another thing that changed was the prices being paid. You would think that with the proliferation of television, especially reality television and the sheer volume of people on television that prices would be lower. That is not the case.
Prices have gone through the roof. Although there is a glut of people on television, there has been a competition among the regulars to always have the newest or best or most well-known celebrity. So, yes someone from a season of The Real World might not be getting paid much although there are at least five names I recognized from various seasons of the show including one who finances her gambling career with regular cash infusions from sex. The bigger the name, the higher the price. On a side note, this is one of the reasons some female celebrities make sure they are in the tabloids or get their photos taken on a daily basis. They are trying to get noticed. They want to be seen. They want to be a big “get” for these men so they can charge premium rates. If you see a woman in the tabloids every single day, there is a very good chance she is paying a pap because it is a good investment for her. There are some other interesting behaviors or tells about the celebrities that participate.
If you see a woman flying alone in First Class on one of the UAE or Qatar airlines, she is most likely getting paid by a man to fly to see them. If a celebrity is frequently in Miami or goes to Miami for modeling shoots the chances are good she is selling herself. Several photographers in Miami make their living shooting photos for the private websites used by the men to select the celebrities. If you see a female celebrity in Cannes or in the Mediterranean for most of the summer or for weeks at a time in the summer she is working the circuit. There are several magazines that exist solely to advertise celebrities to these men. They have little to no advertising and generally waver between the line of art and porn.
Enough of that for now, let’s talk about who and how these women are paid.
The easiest and most common way for the women to get paid is to make it look like a legitimate business deal. One of these businessmen opens a business in Los Angeles. It can be anything from an ice cream store that never really expands to an energy drink company that never seems to sell any drinks. Look who owns them. Generally it will be a man from the Middle East. Someone you would not expect to get an endorsement deal is suddenly being paid a ton of money to endorse the ice cream store or the energy drink and get their photo in the tabloids. The agents and managers love this because they take their cut. Yep, they are basically getting pimp money. The female gets paid and then goes to the Middle East where there is the only other location for the business. Huh. Imagine that. They go for a night or two and have sex for the stupid amount of money they were paid.
Another option that is catching on is the woman flies to the country and in the country is taken shopping. She picks out a gift from a certain store that is worth the equivalent of what she is getting paid. She then brings that gift back to LA, usually in her luggage or wearing it. If for some reason she is questioned about whether she bought it out of the country she can say no, she bought it at a store in LA which will vouch she bought it there and even produce a receipt if necessary. The woman is welcome to keep the gift or she will go to the store that happens to buy gold and silver and other things and buys the item from the woman and gives her cash.
Another option that occurs is a woman is paid in diamonds. This happens a great deal with women in Europe much more than women from the US. The diamonds are blood diamonds which are exchanged back in their home country for a diamond that is not a blood diamond. It is an easy way to smuggle in blood diamonds and often the women will keep them for themselves.
So, who are some of these women? In tomorrow’s final installment I will have a list of about 30 women who are on this list. I won’t bother with the D listers or the countless Instagram models that do whatever they can to get attention in the Middle East and a weekend of work there. Nope. There is no need to focus on the lower listers when I can bring up people like the A list mostly movie actress who is married right now. Foreign born and with an Academy Award nomination/win to her credit. Gorgeous. She has moved from indie type movies to box office comedy popcorn flicks. There was a period of time where she was making trips every three months until she landed her rich husband who contacted her through one of the channels. You don’t have to be Middle eastern to participate, but you have to be rich and know someone very well there to be included. Oh, there are two sets of sisters that I saw on the list that everyone would know. One set of sisters is born in the US and you can choose one, two or all three of the sisters depending on what you want to happen and how much money you have. One of the sisters is more famous than the other two. There are the two sisters who are foreign born. One of them is an Academy Award winner/nominee and made ends meet for quite some time with sex for money with the men. Her sister still makes her living doing it.
Lots of Formula 1 executives met their wives or girlfriends this way. Oh, there is the foreign born A list super model who has not had to earn extra money that way for over a decade thanks to her television shows, but she used to. There were several Victoria’s Secret models on the list. Both past and current.
One foreign born celebrity from the UK who everyone knows or suspects makes her living that way was turned down for inclusion to the list this year because she had gained some weight. She called or texted Bani the entire time he was in LA, every day to tell him about her progress. He showed me the series of nude pictures. She would send two or three a day to show the progress and apparently when I last asked about her, she was going to be allowed to work the circuit. Working the circuit is not as prestigious as the flying over for a night or two. When you work the circuit you are paid a flat fee for expenses and given a place to stay and your airfare, but you have to hustle and find someone to pay you. It is not charging by the hour because you still have to make the cut and you do get paid the daily stipend but these women can often go through a dozen or more men over a two month period.
The List And How Times Are Changing
So Reesie, Kaley Coocoo and Hillary Duff are Yacht Girls? They are papped everyday.
ReplyDeleteObviously one set of sisters is KTrash and the last paragraph girl should be Kelly Brook
Dayum.
ReplyDeleteSelma Hayek
ReplyDeleteKardashians
Cruz sisters
Tyra Banks
Pippa?
Oops...not Tyra.
ReplyDeleteHeidi Klum for the model with TV shows
ReplyDeleteI suppose Heidi Klum?
ReplyDeleteI hope Laura Jeanne is not a prostitute. She gets papped everyday because she is really modeling the purses that she carries. The deal is that she gets 2 of the designer bags and $50,000.00 per picture. I think that was an answer to a blind here at CDAN.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was wondering 'who gives a shit about Millions of Milkshakes?!'
ReplyDeleteThe entertainment industry is one big Escort Service. OK, I'll buy that. It explains Chrissy Teigen and multiple Kardashian/Jenners
"If you see a woman in the tabloids every single day, there is a very good chance she is paying a pap because it is a good investment for her."
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that means Jessica Alba and Jennifer Love Hewitt. I'd hate for J.Love's vajazzling to go to waste.
It also explains why movies or TV shows with regular looking people go nowhere. That's not where the money is.
ReplyDeleteIs there a similar male service? Asking for a friend.
This is some of the best blind gossip EVER!
ReplyDeleteThe three sisters are of course the Kardashians. The two foreign born,I think \,are Kaylie and Dannii Minogue.
ReplyDeleteBlood diamonds.. sweet jesus.
ReplyDeletemaybe Klum, but DEFINITELY Naomi Campbell. If the blood diamonds fit...
ReplyDeleteAnd one of the blood diamond hoes,has to be Naomi Cambell.
ReplyDeleteTop of my head every day-ish tabloid population
ReplyDelete(not all inclusive, and some are 3-4x/week or hang out in Miami a lot):
All Kardashian/Jenners
Teigen
Hadid
Paltrow
Cara Delevingne
Taylor Swift
JLo
LeAnn Rimes
Ariana Grande
The Hiltons (there's a sister pair)
Christina Milian
Beyonce
Frankelstein
Britney
Jenny McCarthy
Amber Rose
Lindsay
Phoebe Price
Karrueche Tran
Victoria Silvstedt
Emily Ratajkowski
.....aaaaannnnddd lunch is over. Back to work for me.
Wait! If one guy knows the ho just left another man's yacht, I wonder what the decontamination procedure is. Maybe they all have the same STDs
This is rapidly becoming the best and most interesting BI ever. And I'm very interested in the D listers. I'm a big fan of the real world shows and it'd be interesting. For the record, the professional gambler is Trishell Cantonella. She's a pro poker player.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Penelope Cruz and her sister for the second set?
ReplyDeletelol @ the reference to the energy drink ... now we really know what was going on with Blohan and that Mr. Pink crap (which is owned by some rich Middle Eastern guy).
ReplyDeleteThis is super juicy! I am loving this series.
Trashelle a hooker? Such a shock! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is legit gossip right here. My favorite kind. It reinforces my preconceived notions of what Hollywood is and the women that exist there are AND it's incredibly salacious.
ReplyDeleteYUM!
Here are some Millions of Milkshakes models: Amber Rose, Dim Kraptrashian, Miley Cyrus, LaToya Jackson, Paula Labaredas (Who?), Cindy Margolis, The Girls Next Door, Lindsay Lohan, Pam Anderson, Zendaya, Jasmine Waltz, Aubrey O'Day, and others. Just do a google image search.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of Trishell,too. it fits.
ReplyDeletenow do a Mr. Pink beverage model search
ReplyDeleteI agree with the earlier guess about the Cruz sisters. Dannii and Kylie aren't Oscar nominees.
ReplyDeleteSee? That's what I'm saying. Every time I'd see a Millions of Milkshakes celeb endorsement, I'd think WTactualF?! How much can posing with a milkshake pay, FFS?
ReplyDeleteAnd now I know.
1. Salma Hayak
ReplyDelete2. kartrashian sisters
3. Cruz sisters
4. Heidi Klum
5. Naomi Campbell is definitely in here somewhere
6. U.K. Celeb either Katie Price or Lily Allen
Buried in all the usual hos - Raven Symone
ReplyDeleteI guess the next question is - Is this a branch of Disney?
ReplyDeleteTrishelle definitely has done this. I figured she had done it on Craigslist before - probably doesn't need a fancy magazine like Muse to sell it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right..I was thinking of Kaylie's Grammy awards..and she got an MTV movie award for her Green Fairy part in Moulin Rouge.
ReplyDeleteWelp..back to google I go..lol
Enty u can make a whole book about it! But probally these middle eastern guys and russians would come after u.....this is interesting, im really intrigued, never thought these clebs would hooo themselves so much
ReplyDeleteLaura Jeanne POON? She must have been born working.
ReplyDeleteIt needs to be said that while the women are considered whores, the men are shriveled up scum who don't have the wits to make a real relationship.
ReplyDeleteI know they're D listers but please reveal the Real World people :)
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, you can hire all three Kardashian sisters AT ONCE? That's just crazy talk!
ReplyDeleteYup..I just googled Kelly Brook and "Daily Mail" just posted a pic of her with caption that read :
ReplyDelete"Shaping up nicely! Kelly Brook looks toned and trim as she displays the fruits of her gruelling fitness regimen in peach vest and cropped leggings"
Or you could buy a couple of houses, so there's that.
ReplyDeleteI know some folks on here are trying to make Taylor Swift out to be a whore, but it was very clear in yesterday's blind that they do not deal with singers at all.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Justin Bieber belongs on the list.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised no one has included Anne Hathaway. Seriously fits the mold.
ReplyDeleteAll that gross body hair and the constant talking over one another. I'd rather be killed instead.
ReplyDeleteThat is a thorough and impressive list @ kno!
ReplyDeleteAdd Brittny Gastineau though maybe??
I totally agree. I'm loving this one!
ReplyDeleteRemember when Kim K went to Kuwait and Bahrain for a "Millions of Milkshakes" opening a couple of years ago..and the people protested and rioted because she was there? I was wondering wtf she was doing over there! It seemed so odd! yup..now we know.
ReplyDeleteYes! agreed
ReplyDeleteHe references an energy drink, I think that energy drink is HYPE. If you check out their site they have celebrity endorsements.
ReplyDeleteI'm positive that HYPE is the drink in reference their head office is in Dubai
ReplyDeleteI just woke up from my colonoscopy and this was the first thing I read.
ReplyDeleteKim even did a shoot for HYPE in Miami.
ReplyDeleteOnly literally half of my comment is getting posted. VS model who endorses the drink is Candice
ReplyDeleteCandice Swanepoel?
ReplyDeleteCould 1) be Catherine Zeta Jones?(high Fidelity / No Reservations etc) to the Oceans franchise?
ReplyDeleteYes that Candice. @kwu
ReplyDeleteShe made $3M in 2014, according to DM.
ReplyDeleteI see a bunch of these people on their site. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteNice Dena, I was thinking either Selma or Janet Jackson.
ReplyDeleteor the Cruz sisters, didn't he mention an academy award nomination?
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm not very good at this..but its fun trying to guess. I jump the gun before it all totally computes in my head..lol
ReplyDeleteI don't care if this is true (albeit it seems to be), but the way to clean money and diamonds was one of the most interesting reads of the week.
ReplyDeleteIt's not hype. it's actually distributed in 45+ countries, mr. pink is only available in cali.
ReplyDeleteThis is insanely great stuff! My tiny little inquiring mind-that used to work in financial services- is fixated on the $250 K sum mentioned in the BI and I'm wondering if that is a standard rate or more of a "high end" (AHEM!) price. I'm dying to know the actual pricing structure here, if there's negotiation, etc, etc. Can't wait for the next installment!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if there is a list of 30 in tomorrows blind. Doubt it.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite right H2O. Not a fan of slut shaming when the men who do this are the real bastards. I think Enty just hates most famous women full stop.
ReplyDeleteI'm more interested in the names of the johns. They should be the ones being shamed more.
ReplyDeleteThe Millions of Milkshakes website is so shady! Oh, and millionsofmilkshakes.ae is currently down. Haha. I'm excited for tomorrow's list. Predictions:
ReplyDelete1. Selma Hayek
2. Kardashian & Cruz sisters
4. Heidi Klum
5. Miranda Kerr
6. Kelly Brook
And obviously Lindsay and her furs.
Reminds me of when Kimmy flew to Dubai alone on Emirates. Kris was "supposed" to be going with her, but didn't make the trip...yeah right
ReplyDeleteThanks for chiming in. I was afraid I'd be a total outcast for my remark. Yes, enty is a misogynist on steroids, imho, allegedly, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteNurse: "How're you feeling?"
ReplyDeleteCate Chandler: "Bring me my iphone, tia."
I wonder if Bitcoin is a form of payment.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Enty do a blind that was supposedly about Love Magazine being an escort catalog for the Arabs?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we shame sluts? When did being a slut become honourable?
ReplyDelete@wen - wasn't there an article here about LiLo and tax trouble relating to her "business transactions" in Bitcoin? Seems likely to me that it's used for this shady shit.
ReplyDeleteAt the very beginning of the year, the Daily Mail was covering a bunch of young actresses and models who were all in Dubai. Yet the articles never stated the purpose of their visit. I remember conducting a Google search to see if there was big event surrounding NYE in Dubai that would attract the likes of Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner, Shay Mitchell (Pretty Little Liars) and Gigi Hadid. Also around NYE in Dubai, model Chanel Iman (fresh off her broken engagement) was photographed sunning herself on a yacht in Dubai. I remember asking myself: Is Dubai the new Cabo?! Why are all these young girls in the United Arab Emirates for the holidays? Now it is all making sense...
ReplyDeleteCheck out this pic from the above mentioned trip and see how many celebs you can spot:
http://www.x17online.com/media/images/2014/12/cody-simpson-girls-122914.jpg
ROFL!!!
ReplyDeleteBeyonce
Frankelstein
Britney
I laughed...belly laughed - out loud - when I first read that. That was comedy gold.
The beauty of this blind is that it is all a list. Can u imagine salma married to a billionaire doing this? I can't.
ReplyDeletedoubt there will be a list of actual names.
ReplyDeletemy first thought was the Kardashians. I remember them endorsing some milkshake shop. The whole things seemed a little odd at the time. I think there's one in UAE
ReplyDeleteMiranda Kerr must be in there somewhere and the Cruz sisters no doubt.
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago, the Hollywood Reporter had a story on Eva Longoria and her two BFFs. The gist of it was how the three of them would make frequent "fundraising" trips to Dubai to raise money for their "charitable foundations" and how they would also schmooze with donors on their yachts in the Mediterranean. The point of the story was that it questioned some of the shady bookkeeping of the foundations but I couldn't help but think of it when I started reading these blinds.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to be sick. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteHere are pics of Salina in Dubai with a "talent agent"
ReplyDeletehttp://m.thehothits.com/m/home#news-detail?id=49723
I hope Enty reveals his list. If not, Im gonna hate him forever.
ReplyDeleteQatar airways is quite, quite busy though. Celebs I've seen coming out of their terminal in the past 15 months are Ludacris, Janet Jackson (thought she was way too rich to travel publicly), John Malkovich, Shilpa Shetty (bollywood), Olivia Munn, Keith Urban, Kelly Osbourne, Kylie Minogue, Charlize Theron, Nicole Richie, Bar Refaeli, and few bands, Ciara , Angela Bassett (not 100% sure) that I recognized anyway. I do not notice half of the people to be honest and I do not know many of the real young celebrities.
ReplyDeleteFor the F1 billionaires, Flavio Briatore and Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell and current wife, Elizabetta. Gerry Halliwell and Christian Horner, Bernie Ecclestone and ex wife Slavica.Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger.
ReplyDeleteAnd she met government officials plus cane back with "presents" on her lip. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust realised the company name significance - milk sheik. Well named.
ReplyDeleteI can't image that already wealthy women would be going down this route. So, that rules out a lot of A Listers.
ReplyDeleteAnd HYPE has the Formula 1 connection, too.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess that means that Selena Gomez isn't trying to be a singer anymore....
ReplyDeleteBut some of those guys actually married women they met this way. Salma, for example.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Naomi Campbell was a possibility for the foreign born model with TV shows, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fucking awesome. I need to get in touch with this guy. I'm not a billionaire but I make enough to afford one of these chicks once a year.
ReplyDeleteWow -- the Millions of Milkshakes site is a treasure trove of info. And the art/porn mag that acts as a catalog is Love magazine -- check out their images, and not that Millions has a "Love Shake" on their menu . . .
ReplyDeleteReally? Did she do the diamond encrusted lip look and pass it off as Swarovski crystal's? What was on her lips? I'm intrigued!!
ReplyDeleteForeign-born sisters: Penelope Cruz and her sister?
ReplyDeletePays papa to stay relevant: Emmy Rossum?
Miami: Sofia Vergara?
Wow, Leila, you're right about Millions of Milkshakes website. Everyone from Octomom to Reese Witherspoon! Click on "locations" for a laugh, too. Fits the profile perfectly.
ReplyDeletehttp://hiphoprapscene.com/archives/4898
ReplyDeleteLiz Hurley has to be part of this. She is always going there and her swimwear line is now being sold in Dubai.
ReplyDeleteOh. eww. :P
ReplyDelete[…] plus this: Today’s Blind Items – The Celebrity Sex Broker – Part Four Today’s Blind Items – The Celebrity Sex Broker – Part Four – CRAZY DAYS AND NIGHTS Reply With […]
ReplyDeleteIf you search who promotes or is associated with MILLIONS OF MILKSHAKES are for example Priyanka Chopra, Kim Kardashian, Mallika Sherawat, Aubrey O'Day, Cher Lloyd (the X-factor contestant, singer), Liz Hernandez, Pamela Anderson, Octomom Nadya Suleman, Stephanie Pratt, Heidi Montag, Amber Rose, Vivica A Fox, Karissa Shannon, Lil Kim (?), Peaches Geldof, Vanessa and Angela Simmons, Disney stars Bella Thorne and Zendaya Coleman (oh dear), 'Basketball Wifes' Evelyn Lozada, La Toya Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Ciara, Jasmine Waltz, Adrienne Bailon, Molly Burnett, Crystal Harris (playmate), Kristina Shannon (a model I think), Kim Zolciak (Real housewives of Atlanta), Cindy Margolis. Just google Millions of Milkshakes promotion and watch the pictures that come from the search. Many of them have made their own milkshake flavor.
ReplyDeleteKristina and Karissa Shannon are glamour models, playboy playmates and twin sisters.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha
ReplyDeletemaybe their site has changed since february, but it's all just social media posts that have tagged millions of milkshakes...can't find a menu or anything...
ReplyDeletetaylor's in the tabloids a lot but there's just no way in a jillion years she participates.
ReplyDeleteagreed 1000000000%
ReplyDeleteit's been said there's a only a few singers...but i SERIOUSLY doubt taylor swift ever did this. she doesn't need to. she never did. she became successful as a young teenager, there wasnt exactly a struggling musician period for her. she went from being a high school student to a millionaire overnight practically, and has had steady success since. she's never even had a leaked nude or anything! there's just no way.
ReplyDeleteif you do it, drop some hints as to who you met up with! :P
ReplyDeletePeaches Geldof..doesn't surprise me. Sad she died so young :(
ReplyDelete[…] The Celebrity Sex Broker Part 4 From CDAN […]
ReplyDeleteWhen Sofia Vergara first moved to LA she hooked up with a Saudi named Rasheed; they lived in the same building on Wilshire Blvd. Anyway I heard stories that he was paying her several hundred thousand dollars a years to be his girlfriend. You used to be able to find pics of them together, and even some of her getting on his plane to go to SA. But now every pic of them is gone from image searches. These are the only link I can find of them, with only one pic of them as a couple remaining.

During her early years in Miami rumor had it narco money from Colombia was paying her bills.
After reading through this, I decided to search both Mr. Pink and Sheeraz Hasan to see what comes up. One of the first articles that pops up is this one: http://perezhilton.com/2013-03-19-lindsay-lohan-mr-pink-suga-daddy-helpful-friend
ReplyDeleteIT'S SO OBVIOUS. I wouldn't have thought twice about it, but after reading this... God. I almost feel bad for her. It seems as if he paid her legal fees in exchange for getting to whore her out around the world: http://perezhilton.com/2013-03-22-lindsay-lohan-mr-pink-paying-legal-bills-mark-heller-says-michael-lohan
There was also this: http://www.eonline.com/news/398830/lindsay-lohan-s-post-rehab-plans-endorsements-helping-kids-and-overseas-travel
"I am meeting with her to organize trips to Brazil and Dubai for business opportunities," Sheeraz Hasan, who owns Millions of Milkshakes and works with the royal families of Qatar and Bahrain tells E! News. "She will meet with royal families and make endorsements and appearances."
Hasan—who works to bring talent together by negotiating deals with the royal families of Bahrain and Qatar..."
"Lindsay has a great and trusted relationship with Mr Pink and Sheeraz Hasan [who represents Mr Pink in the Middle East and India] and no matter how bad things get for Lindsay she can alway count on Mr Pink to help her out."
After her 90 days are up, Hasan believes LiLo will travel to Brazil before visiting Dubai, and he also revealed Lindsay is planning a trip to China before the end of the year."
Honestly, this makes me feel really sad for her.
I do not agree that:
ReplyDeletehttp://ohyeahbellatwins.tumblr.com/page/6 Kayleen
Trish from real world Las Vegas
ReplyDeleteWas going into hair salon in my NYC members only club and saw her coming out with 5 male members (older)
Can't say I blame you. It is disguising. I met a guy a few years back that tried to get me to go to Dubai, said "girl's like you are very in demand" and offered to help me get there. I'd rather live in a fucking housing project than be owned.
ReplyDelete
