Maintaining Her Reign
Image courtesy of wwwstutterhouse.com
While all seems to be well, the contract of FA seems to have surprising conditions. Allegedly, one condition is that she should not work with any of the talents of her former manager (FM). Upon learning of this condition, FM is weighing options on the repercussions of what seems to be an ungrateful move on the part of FA. If the network will not treat FM like family, FM might just sign up his prized male talent (PM) to his former network. If FM removes PM, the network will definitely feel the lack of leading men among its talents.
What moved FA to have such a condition? What could have FM done to FA for such a harsh move? Is this the reason why FA kept saying that her next partner is a younger and fresher actor?
Incidentally, the network will be investing that much in FA. Did the network see that FA is a more financially viable option that the bigger talent they allowed to move to the struggling network? The network said they could not match the offer of the struggling network, but with the investment in FA, she should prove the worth of the contract. FA has three years to maintain her reign as the queen of her network.

Poll: Oprah Winfrey was Refused Service by a 'Racist' Shop Assistant in Switzerland. Store Owner Says it's Misunderstanding. Your Thoughts?
She is one of the richest and most famous women on the planet.
So when Oprah Winfrey popped in to an upmarket boutique for a new designer handbag she was taken aback when the shop assistant refused to show her a bag.
She said the £24,460 crocodile skin item was ‘too expensive’.
Instead of making a scene, the billionaire TV magnate calmly left the Swiss store.
But she has now hit back at her treatment in a furious interview on US television, claiming she was a victim of ‘racism’.
Miss Winfrey, 59, said: ‘I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn’t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear.
'I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Zurich.
‘I go into a store and I say to the woman ‘‘Excuse me, could I see the bag right above your head?” and she says to me “No. It’s too expensive.”’ Miss Winfrey asked a second time to see the bag, which was locked in a cabinet to deter shoplifters.
But oblivious to her fame and fortune, the shop assistant allegedly replied: ‘No, no, you don’t want to see that one, you want to see this one because that one will cost too much. You will not be able to afford that.’
It may have been beyond the salaries of ordinary mortals, but £24,460 is small change to a celebrity worth about £1.8billion.
Miss Winfrey added: ‘I could have had the big blow-up thing and thrown down the black card and all that stuff.
‘But why do that? But it [racism] still exists, of course it does.’
‘I left the store but it proves that racism is still an issue,’ she added.
Referring to a famous movie scene in which Richard Gere tells a snobbish boutique salesman that he wants to spend an obscene amount of money she added: ‘I wanted to create a Pretty Woman moment and come back and buy everything and say ‘‘Big mistake!’’. But then I thought she’d get a commission, so let’s not do that,’ she added
Miss Winfrey was in Zurich for the wedding of her friend Tina Turner to Erwin Bach last month. She was staying in the five-star Dolder Grand Hotel at the time.
The incident happened in a branch of the chic Trois Pommes chain of boutiques. Ironically, its owner Trudie Goetz was also a guest at Miss Turner’s nuptials.
Miss Goetz apologised for the incident, blaming it on a ‘misunderstanding’.
‘Everyone wants to sell a crocodile bag,’ Ms Goetz said. ‘It’s a misunderstanding. She insisted her saleswomen put customers first and try to be ‘kind’.
However, Zurich trade president Markus Hunig condemned the snub saying: ‘It’s totally unacceptable. I’ve never heard of anything like it.’
Swiss tourism spokesman Daniela Bar added: ‘We are totally ashamed about what happened. This sales assistant was completely in the wrong.
'We apologise on behalf of Swiss tourism for what happened.
‘This was a one-off and will not have a long lasting effect on the popularity of Switzerland, but the saleswoman should apologise to Oprah Winfrey.’
It’s not the first time that Miss Winfrey has had a run in with a high-end boutique.
In 2005 Hermes apologised to her after she was turned away from their Paris store because it was hosting a private function.
Miss Winfrey’s allegations come as Swiss authorities were criticised for introducing ‘apartheid’ style plans to ban asylum seekers from public places such as swimming pools, playing fields and libraries.
Switzerland has 48,000 asylum seekers or one for every 332 inhabitants, which is double the European average.
A CONTROVERSIAL ACCESSORY
Even if Oprah Winfrey had been allowed to look at the handbag, she may have thought twice before buying it.
The £24,460 bag was reportedly a crocodile-skin version of one of Jennifer Aniston’s favourite designs.
The Tom Ford Jennifer Bag, named after the 44-year-old former Friends star, is often seen on the arm of fashion-conscious celebrities.
But as Miss Winfrey is a strident opponent of animal fur clothing and was named 2008 Person of The Year by animal rights group PETA, she may have felt crocodile skin was a step too far.
The TV host has occasionally worn leather belts and scarves, but crocodile skin is seen by some campaigners as being particularly cruel, given the poor treatment exotic species are often subjected to by farmers.
A spokesman for Tom Ford could not be contacted to confirm if the handbag was made of real or imitation crocodile skin.

Fraudulent Motive
Image courtesy of www.bubblews.com
Some celebrities take advantage of this opportunity, sometimes resorting to maneuvering just so they could put one over the other.
Mother and daughter went to a seller of a well-known brand of jewelry. Mother Actress MA told the Seller SE that she liked a particular Jewelry Set JS and was interested to buy. She then asked SE if she could borrow the JS for two weeks for a “road test.” Although feeling doubtful, SE agreed.
After two weeks, SE made follow-up with MA if she had already decided on buying JS. MA who said that she had forgotten to bring it, promised to get back to SE soonest - but she never did. The following week, SE made another follow up – and again, MA gave her the runaround.
At this point, SE was already becoming paranoid and nervous. After almost a month of more pressured follow up, MA finally relented and returned the jewelry to a very relieved SE - but not without MA saying that she did not like JS and was no longer buying it. Although quite disappointed by the failed transaction, SE deemed it best to have JS back in her possession knowing the risk involved in dealing with people like MA.
It was clear with SE that she was just hoodwinked by MA. It appeared that MA duped her - pretending to buy but did not, and instead “owned” and used JS for weeks - for free.
And true enough, after only a few weeks – lo and behold! SE saw MA’s photos in a company catalogue - proudly wearing her jewelry set!
