Toni Braxton's Financial Woes Still Plague Her!

I have a lot of empathy for Toni Braxton.She is a divorced,single mother who has a child with autism.Ms. Braxton is dealing with enough issues already.Unfortunately,she has financial woes as well.

It's hard to keep the celebrity lifestyle going.In other words,cultivating & maintaining an image can be an expensive endeavor along.Those weaves,personal trainers,etc... can put a person into debt.

When you add in all of the other expenses such as family & bills,the price tag can drag you down into a financial pit.And that's exactly what Toni Braxton has found herself in,even though she is a millionaire.In order to get herself out of that money pit,she has filed for bankruptcy again.

Here's more on that from TMZ:

"Braxton -- who sold more than 40 million albums in her career -- just filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California ... and in the docs, the singer claims she's only worth somewhere between $1 mil and $10 mil ... but she could have up to $50 mil in debts.

In the docs, 43-year-old Braxton lists a ton of creditors to whom she thinks she may owe money... including:

-- AT&T
-- The Four Seasons Hotels
-- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
-- Various medical bills
-- DirecTV
-- Neiman Marcus
-- The William Morris Agency
-- Tiffany & Co.
-- Orkin Pest Control
-- The Internal Revenue Service
-- BMW Financial Services
-- ADT Security
-- American Express
-- Flamingo Las Vegas
-- Mesa Air Conditioning
-- Nevada Power Company
-- Screen Actors Guild
-- The Westin
-- Wells Fargo Bank


Braxton also claims she may owe money to the City of L.A. Parking Violations Bureau -- and the DMV in both California and Nevada.

Braxton has a storied history of financial problems -- she filed for bankruptcy back in 1998 ... and earlier this year, the IRS filed a lien against her for $396k."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the entire post here.

Another Lion Attack In The Ukraine!

I've never liked the circus that much.What if those tamed lions decide to go wild & attack people? Well,that's what some audience members who went to a Ukraine circus were undoubtedly thinking after they witnessed two lions attack its trainer!

One lady said that she was trying to get her kid out of there before the lions lunged at them.What a horrific time they had at the circus watching a man get mauled by lions!I just hope the kids who witnessed that incident won't be plagued by nightmares.

Here's more from CBS:

"The countries of the former Soviet Union have a circus tradition that goes back at least 100 years and their performers are known around the world.

But on Saturday, a performance of one of those circuses went horribly wrong, and an American family got it all on video.

CBS News correspondent Betty Nguyen reported on "The Early Show" the city of Lviv in Ukraine is known as the "City of Lions," but a shocking new video gives that nickname a new meaning.

Video taken by American father Doug Sheperd following an initial attack on Ukrainian lion tamer Oleksie Pinko shows the trainer trying to keep the lion at bay with a steel rod.

Doug Shepherd told CBS News via Skype, "Kids are screaming, and kids are only 10 feet away and (my family was) probably 35 feet away."

The video shows the lion roaring, lunging and striking, and another lion joins in, biting down on the trainer's left arm.

Circus workers quickly attempted to hose down the angry lions, separating them from their prey. The crowd, including Shepherd's own two children, scream in terror.

Masha Shepherd told CBS News, "I was just grabbing my daughter and trying to run because I thought that they were going to come out." (END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

Rick Sanchez Is On "The List You Don't Want To Be On!"

There was a segment on The Rick Sanchez Show that was called "The List You Don't Want To Be On." Well, after receiving the news that he was fired from CNN,he is now on a list that no one wants to be on. The unemployed list.

Rick Sanchez has lost his gig because he called Jon Stewart a "bigot." He went on a big rant about Jews as well. Was he trying to get fired when he said that CNN is ran by Jews? He must have been high or something.

Here's what CNN has to say about it:

"CNN anchor Rick Sanchez abruptly left the network Friday afternoon, just one day after making controversial comments on a satellite radio program.

"Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company," according to a statement from CNN. "We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well."

On Thursday, Sanchez appeared on the XM Sirius radio program "Stand-Up with Pete Dominick." During the interview with Dominick, Sanchez called "The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart "a bigot" and then said that he was bigoted against "everybody else who's not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what does he surround himself with?"Dominick pressed for specifics, and Sanchez, who is Cuban-American, responded,"That's what happens when you watch yourself on his show every day, and all they ever do is call you stupid."

Dominick, who was once the warm-up comic at Stewart's Comedy Central show and now has a spot on CNN's "John King, USA," noted that Stewart is Jewish and so a minority himself.

"I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority? Yeah," Sanchez responded.

The comments were widely quoted online and on social media.

Sanchez's 3 to 5 p.m. daily spot will be filled by "CNN Newsroom" for the "foreseeable future," CNN said.(END OF ARTICLE) Read more here.
