“I just had to respectfully decline.” Wiz Khalifa takes it back to the Drake tour offer and what was going through his head when he got the call on Drink Champs
Keke Palmer's parents made $40,000 a year at their best. At 15, she says, she was making that per episode of her own Nickelodeon show. One day she told her father: "I'm the one making all the money."
In the video below, she breaks down telling Shannon Sharpe what he said back.
At 12 she had starred in Akeelah and the Bee. The show was True Jackson, VP. It premiered in 2008, and it made her the family's breadwinner.
Her father, Larry, worked for a polyurethane company. Her mother taught high school. They moved the family from Illinois to California for her career. "My dad gave up his pension for me to have an opportunity for my dreams," she told Sharpe.
Then, she says, people around her started telling her she could go further without them. "You have all these people that are making money off of you, and they're telling you what's best for you and that your parents don't know."
Her mother told her: "I don't want money to come between me and my child." Her parents, she says, wanted her to know they weren't the ones controlling her money.
She hasn't always told it this warmly. "I hated my parents for a long time," she told The Cut. The family depended on her income: "They weren't saying it, but that was the reality."
$40,000 a year for them. $40,000 a show for her.
One famous fortune here every day.
Was her father right, or was a 15-year-old carrying the whole family?
Donald Trump charges $1M just to join Mar-a-Lago. Its first owner left it to America's presidents for free.
In 1973, cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post willed it to the US government as a winter retreat.
In 1981, Washington gave it back. Too expensive to keep.
Asking price: $20M.
The buyer: Trump, 39.
CBS asks if he paid $5M.
"Well, you said that. I didn't say that."
"I won't discuss that on national television."
The full deal reportedly came to about $10M.
At a table set with gold, he wonders:
"What am I doing here? How did this happen?"
He walks the crew through 118 rooms.
"It's considered the number one home far and away in America."
The early '90s. His Atlantic City casinos go bankrupt.
He tells Palm Beach $3M a year in upkeep is too much for one owner.
The town won't let him split the land into lots.
In 1993, they agree on a private club. 500 members max.
The entry fee climbs to $1M. Members can book suites for the night.
In 2025, the club brought in $77.5M.
Nearly 8x what he paid for the whole estate.
Back then, the town feared a hotel casino. He told CBS:
"I have no intention of doing anything like that."
Mel Gibson put $30 million of his own money into The Passion of the Christ and it made $610 million. His fortune hit an estimated $850 million. Then his wife of 31 years took $425 million, half of everything, because there was no prenup. His girlfriend was offered $15 million to keep their tapes secret. The tapes leaked, and she ended up with $250,000.
She lost the last $500,000 for talking on Howard Stern's show. His Passion sequel opens in May 2027.
In the video below, Mel tells Stephen Colbert how a pub fight got him Mad Max, then confirms the sequel to the $610 million film.
He married Robyn Moore in 1980. They had 7 children.
2004. No studio wants a film about Jesus, shot in Aramaic and Latin. His own company pays the $30 million. It makes $610 million worldwide.
July 28, 2006. He is arrested for drunk driving in Malibu and makes antisemitic remarks to the officer. He apologizes publicly. He and Robyn separate that year.
2009. Robyn files for divorce. That October his girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, has his daughter.
2010. Recordings of him raging at Oksana leak online. His agency drops him.
December 2011. The divorce is final. Robyn reportedly gets $425 million and half of his film residuals for life. At the time it is called the biggest celebrity divorce in Hollywood history.
The deal with Oksana was reportedly worth $15 million if the tapes stayed private. After they leaked, it fell to $750,000. He paid $250,000. Then she went on Howard Stern, and a court ruled he didn't owe her the other $500,000.
2016. He directs Hacksaw Ridge. 6 Oscar nominations.
$610 million from one film. $425 million to his wife. $250,000 to the woman with the tapes.
Did Mel Gibson pay for his own words, or did Hollywood just wait until he made them money again?
T-Pain rented his Bugatti to DJ Khaled for $3,000. It ended up in a music video where it looked like someone else's car. That was the end of the friendship.
The song was Ace Hood's "Bugatti."
The Bugatti in the video was T-Pain's.
He waited for someone to say so. Nobody did.
"It was just like, yep, cool car."
So he said it himself.
"That's my car. DJ Khaled paid me three grand to use my car."
Khaled called him.
"That's what you're doing?"
T-Pain said they made it look like the car was theirs. Khaled told him to watch the video again.
"Okay, you didn't say it. But okay."
Then the ask.
"Take it back. Take the post down."
"I kind of still stand by what I said."
The post didn't come down.
One more problem. The photo he posted to call them out showed Khaled's own artist, Ace Hood.
"You just used my artist in the smear campaign."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
His summary, years later:
"This is why me and Khaled, to this day, don't f*** with each other."
🚨 STEPH CURRY IS GETTING HUMILIATED?! HIS WIFE'S CONTROVERSIAL MOVIE SCENE HAS PEOPLE FEARING IT'S JADA PINKETT SMITH ALL OVER AGAIN
Ayesha Curry is facing backlash over an on-screen kiss with another man, and people are drawing explosive comparisons to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
People are calling it a Hollywood humiliation ritual, questioning why the wife of one of basketball's biggest stars would film a romantic scene with another man.
But that's just the beginning.
Old interviews are resurfacing where Ayesha admitted feeling insecure about not receiving the same attention from men that Steph receives from women.
She also revealed that she never originally wanted marriage or children.
Now the internet is connecting the dots, fearing Steph Curry could be heading down the same road as Will Smith.
Is Ayesha Curry simply pursuing her acting career, or are people witnessing the beginning of another Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith situation?
🇵🇱 En Cracovia, el agente Kamil Kosiń disparó al atacante a apenas uno o dos metros, pero el terrorista que estaba en el suelo, le devolvió el fuego y lo hirió. Kosiń cayó de rodillas, resistió hasta confirmar que el agresor ya no podía seguir, y luego colapsó.
Recibió tres impactos de bala, uno en la zona del pecho, y fue intervenido quirúrgicamente. Permanece en estado muy grave. Su compañero también resultó herido.
El primer ministro Donald Tusk calificó el ataque como "terrorismo" y elogió a los agentes: "Si no fuera por ellos, el número de víctimas sería inimaginable".
The way Kourtney Kardashian tried to lean in for her own kiss after Nicki Minaj kissed Kylie is funny ash, you just know they all wanted to around her at one point 😂❤️
