I read something about the amount of money disney is making on their streaming platform but the angle they were making was about the theater industry. They said something else about how Disney is grabbing the profits but I can't remember it all and I'm too lazy to Google. Whenever I think about scarjo I think about when she married Ryan Reynolds and then I remember him and Alanis. I wish I had more info on that relationship.. I read the same article. It was something like they made something like $58M just from streaming the opening weekend & all that goes into their pockets due to not having to split with the theaters & whatnot.

I’ve seen it discussed on legal groups I’m in. The execs also got bonuses for increasing Disney’s earnings so substantially. They pulled a shady move to line their pockets. And I don’t think they would pull the same shit if she was a man.

She made 15 million just to do the film which was the same as both Chris Pine and Hemsworth for their movies.
I do agree they can change their contracts, but they didn't pay her less either it doesn't seem. Maybe they did because i don't know what they got from ticket sales
Just because she got paid the same as someone else doesn’t mean that’s what she should be paid. That’s not what she agreed to. Her contract was salary plus exclusivity at movies theaters with percentage of box office earnings. Disney choosing to steam it and eliminate a significant portion of her earnings is breach of contract. If Disney felt that was the best avenue of getting out the movie, due to the pandemic, fine. But they needed to amend their contract with her. i also read that her attorneys gave Disney notice and a chance to renegotiate when they said they were going to streaming. Disney chose not to.

I read an article when Luca came out about how the animators were pissed that their movies that they spent years working on were released for free while a Marvel movie and Cruella were premium movies. It is interesting the ones they choose to release as premium.

After several years of me telling you about the sketchy circumstances of the adoption of a child by this A list mostly movie actress/sometime director, it is finally getting a closer look by authorities. It is far too late to do anything about it though.
Angelina Jolie

I don’t think Scarlett is that pretty. Her face looks a little pinched or something to me. I think Tricia Helfer (played Charlotte in Lucifer) is freaking gorgeous though.

It’s not a good look for Angelina. I believe it was the first child she adopted. If I can recall correctly, the birth mom agreed to the adoption with the understanding that they would stay in touch. She was very poor and wanted better for her baby. She was promised visits, contact, etc. Angelina held up her end for a while and then just cut her off with no explanation. The poor birth mom was devastated but had no power compared to Angelina and Brad.

Me over here being not surprised about the Angelina adoption stuff. I do remember there being something with one specific child that was mentioned but I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of the international adoptions have suspect circumstances.

At least seven past and present Housewives have repeatedly told this late night host, they do not want this comedian/actor/a-hole on the late night show. The host has ignored them and wonders why they all hate the host.
Michael Rapaport/Andy Cohen/"Watch What Happens Live"

I do remember there being something with one specific child that was mentioned but I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of the international adoptions have suspect circumstances. A new documentary is coming out soon that includes discussion of Maddox's adoption. It's been known since shortly after his adoption that the orphanage forged documents. All of her adoptions are problematic, she was told Maddox and Zahara were orphans and she made promises to Pax's orphanage about donations she didn't make.

I am not 5 or 6 episodes into the John Stamos pod. I'm annoyed because I had to sign up for Wondery+ (luckily a trial), but it's still pretty good. I do think that they are no longer making light of his mental issues and more so just telling the story. I'm curious for the finale and what happens after Barry (the kidnapper) is caught.

It should be a good documentary. I watched one on China and how these at home DNA tests are now shocking families who were told their children were orphans and were not.

I understand this can be a sensitive topic so I'm not trying to hurtful by asking details, but who is at fault for these situations? Are the adoption agencies the ones taking advantage of the birth parents? And people like Angelina knowing what's happening but still doing it anyway?

Love tit to agree. International adoptions can be sketchy. Kids being taken from families to fill the need in numbers. Organizations being inconsistent at best, but often break their promises.

Are the adoption agencies the ones taking advantage of the birth parents? And people like Angelina knowing what's happening but still doing it anyway? There’s a lot problems with international adoptions. It’s why many countries Americans adopt from have increased their restrictions. There’s little to no oversight in foreign adoptions. Lots of abuse, death, and exploitation to name a few. One IG famous couple tried to adopt a kid, and were told the child couldn’t be on social media for a year. They canceled the adoption because they didn’t realize this organization wouldn’t let them post the pics of kid for it’s first year in the US. It can be all the above. Communities “encouraged” to give up children, kidnapping, etc for the money. (With all these DNA companies, families are now finding their child wasn’t orphaned, but taken) Organizations can be predatory, and the families these children go to can be complicit/look the other way depending on how desperate they are to have the child. Someone with Angelina’s connections to the UN, and UNICEF, you’d think she know the best companies to adopt from, and would have the ability to choose the most upstanding one. She was filming (Tomb Raider I believe) and saw her oldest, and just wanted him. (If I remember correctly)
