Two articles in the news today about people who are both filthy rich and do the wrong things for even more money.
1) Tennessee Sports Team Owner Didn't Pay Taxes - Predators lead owner David Freeman acknowledged Monday that he has had personal cash flow problems and is having to sell off assets to pay a $3.3 million lien placed on him earlier this year by the IRS for not paying taxes.
2) Another overpaid actor wouldn’t take a pay cut to do the sequel to Iron Man, so he was let go and replaced. Sadly, this 3rd rate character was paid MORE than the star of the movie, Robert Downey Jr.!! If it wasn't for Downey, the movie would've bombed.In 2008's "Iron Man," James "Rhodey" Rhodes was played by Terrence Howard. According to: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-talk-war-machine-revealed.html :In a much-publicized contract dispute, Terrence Howard was dropped from the sequel and replaced by actor Don Cheadle. While the exact details of why Marvel Studios made the switch, Entertainment Weekly reported that Howard's original contract made him the highest-paid actor in the first film, and when the producers tried to scale back his paycheck for the sequel, Howard's representatives balked. Cheadle told IGN that he was approached for the role after Howard had already left the project, and he only had a few hours to decide if he wanted to step in.
What is with these greedy people? At least they got what they deserved in the end. The first guy had to sell off assets to pay his taxes (as he should of in the first place). The second guy was dropped from the sequel. Losers!
