Congratulations to Leona lewis making it No.1 last week in the USA im not a fan of her but i'll give to her she can sing.
Anyway I was abit confused why they have remade here video for "Bleeding love" for the USA peeps,
whats wrong with the UK Video?
the song came out last year in the UK not so long before Xmas and yet 5 months down the drain the Video's been remade lol
whats the point of that?
I really think Celebs really waste they're cash look at Victoria beckham? how many shoes or bags does she need it's a disgust they shouldn't be spending Millions on video's/shoes (Bags) instead they should give some of there money to help little kids in Africa where people there are starving and living of handouts!
Tis pathetic really Rant over

if only you knew Kerry. most vida get remade for Europe from the US...
very different audiences...

Plus its not her money, its the record companies. She seems like such a nice quiet girl whenever I've seen her interviewed (much like on the X-Factor), so I doubt she pisses it all away like some 'stars' who spend their first pay check on drugs, girls and booze and then get dropped from their label after one single.
God the music industry has become crap recently lol.

well if I had that much cash i'd put it towards a good cause nstead of wasting it, just how many bags can make you happy afterall lol
I just didn't get why they remade leona's vid when it's only been 5 months since the song was released here

Celebs really do waste Money!
What? Are you sure? No that can't be right...
Posted by belialwafu
well, not all celebs waste theyre money. Some of them like Angelina Jolie helps african kids.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
...But also buys million dollar houses. Why have a million dollar house, when you can spend a fraction of that on a still decent one.
Posted by belialwafu
yeah, but at least she gives right? rather than the others that dont even care
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah thats true.
But that doesn't mean celebrities don't waste money lol.

Because you're friggin' rich and where's the point in having millions and millions of £/$/€ and not spend what you can on a house or a car and anything else you can safely throw money at?
Obv. if you have the money you should donate to charities etc. but doing that shouldn't stop you enjoying your money and life.

Yeah thats true I guess. But still... Doesn't mean they don't waste money.

they are over-paid.

On about Leona Lewis, how much money do u reckon she has earnt from winning x factor, her number one song, advertising etc???
Then Simon Cowell goes and buys her a £5million house for her. WTF??? I live in a flat that cost me £72K (mortgage for the next 35 years) How fair is that???
Message to Simon Cowell (if you're a member of esato lol) Please could u give me £68K so I can pay off my mortgage

Man I'd laugh if he was a member here. He'd be all "Help my P1i won't turn on!"
And we'd ignore him. Thats what we'd do.

I think Ranjith has hit the nail on the head. How any "celebrity" can justify getting paid millions of pounds per year for what they actually do is beyond me. Hard work? Long hours? Yeah, right.
Although I would also argue that their place in the public spotlight is more valuable than their money when it comes to helping poorer countries. Let's face it; you give money to charity, the charity takes half of it and the other half goes to the country's government which then either keeps it for themselves or spends it on weapons. Anything other than helping people, put it that way.
Bono, Sting etc. may be complete pains in the butt these days with their charity work but at least they are trying to use their position to spread awareness of the real causes of poverty and get governments to do something about it.

Slight flaw in this cyco....
if your shooting a film, a day can go on for 18-19-20 hours, once a set has been set uop or you've shut New York down, you get one shot at doing your scene, can take an age
Posted by Cycovision
Yes, but do they do it six days a week for 48 weeks per year like, say, a junior doctor or trainee nurse?
That's what I mean by long hours!

Its their money, they can do whatever the heck they want with it. How often do you give to the poor, and how much? I don't really get this whole celebrity wasting money bull crap to be honest. 2000 pair of shoes is normal for a billionaire but wastage for an average joe.
Secondly, how can you be so sure she didn't give to a charity already? Just because it didn't make headlines doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I don't get what you mean by "wasting."
I mean, why is everyone complaining? If they are swimming in money, why not buy massive houses? Why not buy flashy cars? I think there is a degree of jellousy in this thread.
Muhammad-Oli, if you made 30 million a year, would'nt you buy huge mansions and fast cars? I sure would. And you have to remember, by purchasing these houses, they are also free from normal people who will bug them day in and day out.
Ranjith, overpaid? It actualy depends. Most people associate the rich, with people with all the girls, with mansions shaded by palm trees. Imagine, getting up at 1 o clock to do a shoot, filming day in and day out 24/7 sometimes for years for one movie. Imagine performing and performing, then doing it infront of millions of people. Imagine living a life 24'7 with constant crooks, and drugs. Most people forget all of this.
In my opinion "wasting" money is spending over your budget on things you don't need. If you actualy have all the money, then I don't actualy think wasting is much of an issue.
I mean whats the point of having all that money if your not gonna spend it? If that was the case, im almost certain this thread would of been named: "Celebs are to stingy!"

he's got a N95
btw I give it to Angelina Jolie for adopting them lovely kids,
she had a hard time with the stupid british press over that
celebs make money too easily,
and I think they can spare a few loose change to helpout if they really wanted
Victoria beckham it's all about her (Me, Me, Me)
what has she done to help?

I think alot of you guys, dont see the behind the scenes of alot of these so called celeb lifes. Take a look a 2pac when his will was read out, he had nothing couple of hundreds in his bank account, the reason for this is that his manager at the time Suge Knight would rake it all in and give him an allowance buy him the cars etc, same thing simon is doing for Leona believe you me the shooting of two videos for both audiences though legitimate in its own sense has a sinister reason behind it.
The cost is actually deducted from any future earnings Leona will make and Reg pointed out Times Sq can be shut down for hours and thats big money, the $5mill house its all pretty much entrapment, they use it that when people like Leona decide damn I aint making a penny I need to get out, they left with one heavy bill.
You just need to read all the interviews of Girls Aloud and crew, so yes at the time it seems all unreal but when you washed up and cant make the music or pay the bills Mr Cowel comes and takes back his $5mill home which by that time will have gone up in value so really look at it as a loan its also used as a tax loophole for Simon.
The guys you really need to ranting too are well the Sony BMG etc, they are the ones that are cleverly just investing there money in tangible assets they know they not going to loose value in etc Diamonds, Houses list goes on.
But on a more realistic note, we look at celebs and think why dont they do anything they spend there money on this and that, but at the same time we do the same compare ourselves to someone in africa and think how much your k850 or n95 or macbook pro could feed these people.
Guess the old saying goes ye without sin cast the first stone. We all guilty £1Million Cars or £300 phones. I rest my case your honor.

their money.we are no one to judge them,true.
but i guess its easier to be celeb than to earn the same money any other way.
