MATTHEW PERRY HAS AN ODD NEW JOB

While we are all for capitalism, we can’t help but wonder what’s up with Matthew Perry’s finances. The Friends star famously pocketed $1 million per episode during the show’s peak and he continues to make money with residuals (much like I Love Lucy, reruns of Friends seem to be airing 24/7 somewhere in the world.) And that’s WHY we are perplexed that’s he’s on the Cameo Business site: He will make a personal video endorsing your business or product for a $50,000 fee. While $50K isn’t chump change, it seems out of character that Matthew would sell a commercial endorsement for such a small amount UNLESS he was desperate for dineros. For perspective, his Friends costar Jennifer Aniston made millions and millions from her various endorsements for such products as Smart Water and Aveeno.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS ACTOR?

Seems like only yesterday this zany actor was running scared in the Scream movies or wrestling on TV – now he’s playing a put-upon businessman in “On Sacred Ground,” – described as a social impact drama. David Arquette, AKA Courtney Cox’s ex-husband, looks like he’s still in character as the businessman at the movie’s LA premier. He also looks a lot more conservative than he does as proprietor at the Hollywood nightclub Bootsy Bellows

VICTORIA BECKHAM IS HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS TOO!

It’s almost consoling to hear that even Victoria Beckham is having financial setbacks. Her fashion business racked up record losses last year of almost 15 million dollars. In fact, during the past four years, her company suffered 52 million in losses! Last year, a “mystery shareholder” believed to be her husband David, invested almost 20 million dollars in the shaky business. Victoria just got a loan from an investment company of almost eight million dollars to keep the business functioning. She’s HOPING she won’t have to give up controlling interest in her namesake company.

WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT SARAH JESSICA PARKER?

Like Friends star Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker is still enjoying incredible popularity among females, thanks to Sex & the City. She’s in Sydney where she has scheduled a series of seminars for women where she shares her experiences in the business world. Among her successful endeavors is her SJP shoe collection – she is seen here arriving at the David Jones store where she autographed her shoe collection for fans until the store closed.

IMAGINE THAT! CARDI B DRESSED LIKE A BUSINESS WOMAN

At least this is Cardi B’s IDEA of what a female professional might look like. She’s in Paris making appearances during Fashion Week, and Cardi decided to take a break from her usually extravagant look. Her hair and glasses are indeed professional looking, but the sexy grey suit and platform oxfords are edgy and those NAILS are definitely NOT business-like. Still, it’s fun to see her with a new look…

CAN IVANKA TRUMP’S FASHION COLLECTION SURVIVE THE PRESIDENCY?

Can the fact that Ivanka Trump’s fashion collections are being dropped by upscale department stores be chalked up to customers who don’t want to support the name? One would have thought that the new and constant exposure to Ivanka wearing her own designs would INCREASE demand. Didn’t happen. But Nordstrom dropped her clothing and shoe collection due to “poor sales.” Neiman Marcus followed suit with her jewelry collection. Things are going downhill fast. It took Ivanka five years to build her successful clothing company and her father’s Presidency may have turned her name to poison to some customers. Would YOU mind flashing the Trump label in your coat?

Victoria Beckham arrived at JFK looking particularly fetching in what can only be described as business attire. She usually travels in extravagant outfits and gigantic heels, but appears smart and sleek and functional today. She has a number of meetings concerning her successful fashion collection and she looks like she’s in the mood to negotiate.
