Here goes the story. Liz Hurley and her Indian husband Arun Nayar were living a happy life, along with their Indian made, Violet d’Souza, who was brought to Britain by Nayar’s family. Everything seems to be great in this story, but it isn’t. Lately d’Souza made a statement that she was treated like a slave, working as Hurley’s made. She would often work from 7:30am and at times not finish until 3:00am.
But the funnies part of the story, is that she was paid less than $2.00 an hour! With a $8.17 minimum wage in Britain! According to reports, d’Souza was going to take her case to an employment tribunal this Friday, but has dropped the claim after reportedly being offered a five-figure settlement agreement.
Now lets compare. According to many sources, Liz Hurley is worth about $20 millions and her husband has his own millions, coming from a wealthy Indian family.
How in the hell they were unable to pay their made at least a minimum wage?!

50 Cent’s baby mother found out where can lead the greed. She was getting $25k as child support from Fifty, but she thought its not enought, or that Fifty can handle moreand asked a raise to $50k per month.
But he was not going to pay such money, so he took her to court and ruling was handed earlier this week: Tomkins will receive only $6.700 monthly. The bottom line: think twice before going on a leash of greed.

Something not very beautiful happened at the 2008 Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival.
Everything was going well untill Diana Ross’s set, when concert goers were told that cameras will not show the diva at the monitors, “to honor Miss Ross wishes”. Unfortunatly for those who’s seats were not in the first row - it meant they most probably wont be able to see the singer at all.
“It was at the eleventh hour that her manager said she wouldn’t allow us to IMAG (In Vivo Imaging) her performance,” said a concert promoter, “and, if any cameras were present, she would not go on stage.”
People who came to the concert was so pissed with such attitude that they started to boo and hiss at the diva. The Festival Spokesman made a very soft statetement after the show: “The much anticipated performance of Diana Ross on Saturday proved somewhat disappointing to many patrons who expected a very interactive set.” he said. “Miss Ross’ request to have a restricted display of her performance however, inconvenienced patrons who were left feeling distanced from the stage and her performance.”
Miss Ross got $300.000 for attending the concert, where also performed Mary Mary, Billy Ocean and KoKo Taylor. The concert goers paid from $80 up to $307 for watching a singing dot on the stage.
