I Love the Money

ID, who comes from a musical family began her career as a vocalist and back-up singer of various bands. Even at an early age, she was so passionate about her craft and wanted to be in the league of professional singers. Years of dedication have paid off. In no time, ID became one of the most sought-after singers in the country.
Expectedly, awards came one after another - as more and more established singers were getting intimidated by ID's presence in the music industry. More than anything, ID was a true artist and a professional – someone who was bold and unafraid to try anything.
Some observers are amazed at how ID continues to enthrall people, even at times that she was gone from the country for long, the public still longs for her. Thus ID is allegedly never lacking in projects – enough to assume that she has earned considerable sums to tide her over. Reportedly, ID has made several investments here and abroad, really smart enough to make hay while the sun shines.
But alongside is her quirkiness, too - as some artists are said to possess.
In every performers' shows or gigs, normal payment procedures are done after the show, usually through checks especially if the artists talent fee is big. But events organizers in ID' s corporate shows reportedly wonder why ID demands to be paid in cash (not checks) before every show – or she will not perform. This happens all the time even if the company is a repeat client.
Until one day when ID told them why. She said that unless she is fully paid in cash before a show, she is a sluggish performer. Only the thought of a cold cash already paid to her before she goes onstage gives her a different high and immense energy to wow her audience to the hilt.

Marc Jacobs Out at Louis Vuitton? Industry Sources Spark Rumors of Designer's Departure

The rumor mill is buzzing about an imminent departure, as Jacobs' contract with Louis Vuitton ends next month. "His contract may not be renewed," a source told Reuters. Though the popular designer has seen the storied fashion house through successful times since joining in 1997, he is reportedly internally approved within the company to leave.
This isn't the first we've heard of Jacobs and Louis Vuitton going separate ways, though. Back in June, Women's Wear Daily sparked chatter after reporting thatJacobs was being sought after to replace Reed Krakoff as creative director at Coach. Plus, Louis Vuitton is already at work revamping its design team, tapping Proenza Schouler's accessories designer, Darren Spaziani (the man behind the brand's wildly popular PS1 handbag), to spruce up its logo-centric offerings.
As for Jacobs' replacement, Nicolas Ghesquière's name has been the front-runner ever since the first round of rumors. The French designer, an industry darling, was unceremoniously ousted from his creative director position at Balenciaga and replaced by Alexander Wang last year. A source confirmed to Fashionista in June that Ghesquière and LVMH, the luxury goods conglomerate which owns Louis Vuitton,were "in serious negotiations" about a top position with Louis Vuitton.
But until we get official confirmation, we're remaining skeptical. Regarding Jacobs' departure, another industry source told Reuters, "Nothing has been decided yet." So as of now, the only thing that's certain is that nothing's certain. Let's hope Jacobs drops some hints at his Fashion Week show next week.
