Blind Item #1
This A+ list mostly movie actor is quietly selling off possessions at a record pace. Apparently the IRS had some questions about some deductions and some sketchy foundations and now he has having to pay off a massive tax bill. As in $30-40M tax bill. Guess he will keep on filming franchise installments.
Affleck/ his gambling.
ReplyDeleteFranchise- Batman
Or Damon and the Bourne franchises is better guess.
ReplyDeleteHe has been linked to several foundations
Tom Cruise and Scientology even better... Lol
ReplyDeleteCruise last and final:)
Nobody up?!
it's cruise. he's selling real estate right and left. read it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCruise put his UK property on sale recently.
ReplyDeleteAh...thx. TC probably has a lot L Ron Hubbard mementos and gold leaf or encrusted busts he could sell- but wait, nobodies gonna buy that crap!
ReplyDeleteCruise is selling his home in Bel Air,Telluride and England
ReplyDeleteLol! "Poor" rich kid, hope he gets "outed"!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Nic Cage? I don't know about Tom being mostly movies, isn't he movies only?
ReplyDeleteTom. Cruise and questionable scientology donations.
ReplyDeleteSelling telluride, la, london house
Depp? He was selling some pretty big things earlier this year & blaming it on wanting rid of memories of Vanessa Paradis.
ReplyDeleteI think that's it!
ReplyDeleteMiss Cruise and Scieno "foundation" donations.
ReplyDeleteTom's donations are in question? Holy Xenu, stop the presses!
ReplyDeleteBetter tell the Sea Org that their gonna have to tighten their belts. 30% of corrected yearly gross, for scrubbing toilets with toothbrushes, multiplied by 1 billion years amounts to roughly $43.75 before taxes. They've had it too good for too long anyway!
so they're investigating cruise for shady tax practices BUT NOT SCIENTOLOGY???? Scientology BULLIED the IRS into giving it tax-exempt status because they are a "church" (church of scam). They threatened to tie them up in lawsuits for infinity if they weren't granted the status (talk about it a lot in Going Clear...SUCH a good documentary...I wish it would be nominated for an oscar but that would never happen.....)
ReplyDelete@Kara - There is a great snippet in Going Clear's wiki page....:
ReplyDeleteCAMPAIGN TO INFLUENCE OSCAR AWARDS
Following the film's success at the Emmys, the church was reported to have mounted an aggressive campaign to deny it recognition at the Oscars. The church's campaign included producing an anti-Gibney film and approaches to members of the Academy's documentary branch, responsible for selecting contenders for the awards. Several members of the documentary branch reported receiving approaches from the Church's magazine Freedom in connection with a planned profile of Gibney. Although the Church denied that its actions had anything to do with the Oscars, Lawrence Wright suggested that its "more feverish attention to the documentary" had to do with it feeling "threatened by the possibility that [the Hollywood] community would examine the church more closely" as the Oscars approached.
.....So it may have a chance at the Oscars doc category, tbh...... :)
Having a "foundation" is a great way to get rich (See: Hillary Clinton).
ReplyDeleteIt's Tom Cruise but I doubt the IRS reason
ReplyDeleteIf he donated money to his "church" then he is in the clear as long as Scientology is a recognized religion (and here in the US it is)
I am guessing he wants to donate his entire fortune to the church in exchange for Hubbard-like status
The church has exempt status but they have a lot of side businesses that aren't exempt.
ReplyDeleteTommy Girl is selling a lot of property. Imagine how nice the closets are in those homes.
ReplyDeleteGoing Clear was so compelling, also good. Agreed.Anyone with a lingering doubt RE: Scio should check it out.
ReplyDeleteDon't disagree with your point, except Cruise is very money-savvy. It would be completely out of character for him to make such a costly mistake
ReplyDeleteI wish the IRS would investigate $cientology and revoke their tax exempt status.
ReplyDeleteI don't see Tom starting dummy corps or even being aware of his finances. He must have the same accountant as Wesley snipes or nick cage.
ReplyDeleteOh please, he's had thousands of years to learn this.
ReplyDeleteSee: every other politician in the 21st century.
ReplyDeleteSee: Mr. and Mrs. Duggar and other religious celebrities.
See saw, Mardi gras, they all fall down.
Many Hollywood actors, some despite lacking a formal higher education, are very successfull businessmen. Examples: Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Tom Cruise, David Spade, and many others. Trust
