Morgan Freeman grew up in Mississippi where folks are wretchedly poor. That's why he really was smart about saving & investing his income. While everybody is trying to outdo the Jones,Morgan Freeman has outdone the failing economy. For too many celebrities,the shit is hitting the fan at a rapid pace. Almost monthly now, you hear about some rapper auctioning off their jewelry or a singer losing her home. Even though he may have to pay $100 million to his wife in a divorce settlement,the real story is how major Freeman's cash flow is. I don't think anybody had any idea that he was sitting on that kind of dough.Here's more from the Chicago Sun-Times:
"Though there's no comment from either party in this breakup, Freeman's wife of 24 years stands to rake in more than $100 million in a potential settlement.
Original estimates put the actor's net worth in the $75 million to $90 million range, but now it is being reported he may be worth as much as three to four times that amount.
Among assets contributing to the actor's bounty are a very valuable gold coin collection, a rare stamp collection, a $7 million home in the Virgin Islands, real estate in Freeman's native Mississippi worth nearly $30 million (including a $5 million personal home), a $10 million New York apartment and a $15 million Los Angeles estate.
"Morgan has always remembered what it was like to be a poor, struggling actor, and as a result he has always been very careful with his money. Morgan isn't cheap, but he has always been pretty frugal" a longtime associate told me Tuesday."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the whole article here:http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1313336,CST-FTR-zp04.article

Why Would Anyone Feel The Need To Airbrush Jessica Alba's Pictures?
Wow,Jessica Alba isn't thin enough for Campari magazine! Apparently,her picture was airbrushed so that she could appear thinner than she already is. Give me a break! And we wonder why folks have a variety of eating disorders. I thought she looked great in the original photo. Something is really wrong with our society. Human beings are supposed to have some flesh on them. Body image is a real issue for a lot of folks. What are we saying when we airbrush a thin person's photo? Well,the message I'm getting is that even Jessica Alba isn't thin enough. Is it any wonder then that girls as young as 5 are concerned about their weight gain? Check out these very young girls discussing their fear of getting fat on "The Tyra Banks Show".
Jesse Jackson Jr.'s Attorney Says That His Client Is Guilty Of No Wrongdoing!
Jesse Jackson Jr.'s attorney held a press conference on his client's behalf just moments ago. He says that his client his guilty of no wrongdoing & he says that he is outraged by the insinuation that he is involved in this matter. Apparently,some of Jesse Jackson Jr.'s associates may have participated in this scheme. At this time,his attorney has stated that he has no idea what transpired in this matter. Jesse Jackson Jr. says he has always ran a transparent campaign. But, even so, I still think that this is a toxic situation that the Illinois governor has gotten himself into. Anyone even associated with this scandal may suffer some damage to their reputation. The attorney has no clue who spoke with the governor & offered him money if he gave Jesse Jackson Jr. Obama's Senate seat. I'll be watching this story closely.
