Looking for a Job? Kim Kardashian Pays Her Stylist $1 Million Dollars

Kim Kardashian pays her stylist $1 million dollars per year.

Kim Kardashian is currently the queen of fashion and social media. With millions of social media followers, anything she does quickly goes viral. But, behind the scenes, there’s someone who coordinates her every outfit and that person apparently makes a million dollars per year.

According to reports, Australian fashionista Christine Centenera has also been the secret ingredient behind her new look.

Centenera does freelance styling for Kardashian. But, her full-time job is working as the fashion director at Vogue Australia. But working those extra hours comes at a price. According to the Sunday Telegraphthe reality star pays out up to $1 million per year for her services.

The two first met in 2011, after Centenera worked with Kanye as a style consultant on his clothing line. Since then, Centenera has been behind some of Kardashian’s best-dressed outfits. She’s responsible for both of Kardashian’s cover shoots for Vogue Australia and Kardashian called Centenera one of the most stylish women in the world. “She just knows every accessory to tie an outfit together,” Kardashian told the Daily Telegraph in 2015. “She puts different things together that you wouldn’t think of.”

It clearly plays to work for Kim Kardashian.

Man violently attacks and sexually assaults two women at a New York City talent agency’s casting call.

“What if this was a rape scene?” Those were the only words a man said to an unsuspecting woman during a New York City casting call before violently sexaully assaulting her.

According to reports, a violent groper fondled a woman at a talent agency’s casting call while asking, “What if this was a rape scene?” before throwing another woman against a wall and smashing the talent agency’s office into pieces.

DNAinfo reports, attacker, Jerry Saint Florant, 25, was in the 115 W. 45th St. offices of Nine9 The Unagency while the talent agency was holding an open casting call around 7 p.m. last week.

According to police, the agency’s manager “repeatedly” asked Saint Florant to leave, but he instead went further inside the location. At some point, Saint Florant lifted up the dress of a woman waiting for the casting call, ran his hands up her thighs and asked her, “What if this was a rape scene?” police said.

The woman would try to break free from the man but, he grabbed her feet and threw her on the ground, turning over the chair she was sitting on, police said. According to the criminal complaint, the woman suffered pain to her tailbone.

Saint Florant also picked up another woman waiting for the casting call and threw her against the wall, at which point the woman pepper-sprayed him, according to police.

Florant also smashed shelves and picture frames inside the front desk area, causing $250 in damage, DNAinfo reports.

Saint Florant was arrested and charged with forcible touching, assault, criminal mischief, menacing, attempted assault, criminal trespass, attempted forcible touching and harassment, the DA’s office said.

He is currently being held on $5,000 bail and is expected to next appear in court on Wednesday, city Department of Correction records show.

According to their website, The Nine9 UnAgency has been around since 2003 and provide opportunities for actors and models to succeed in the film industry. “The Nine9 mission is clear: 99% of models and actors aren’t represented by an agency and we are helping them take over the entertainment industry.  Nine9 provides the 99% with the tools, opportunities and support to begin and advance their careers. We believe there is power in numbers, and the 99% is always greater than the 1%.”

Tyler Perry Reveals How He Ended Up Homeless

Tyler Perry reveals how he ended up on the streets of Atlanta and why he never gave up on his dream.

Related: Looking for a Job? Tyler Perry Studios is Now Hiring

Tyler Perry is one of Hollywood’s most powerful filmmakers, writers, producers and even actors. But, before he was known for his TV shows, movies and plays, Mr. Perry was once homeless, living on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia. In a recent interview, Tyler Perry revealed how he ended up on the streets of Atlanta and it’s pretty amazing.

According to the AJC, Tyler Perry was on tour promoting his new movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, and he opened up about his experience in the entertainment industry and how it was not an easy process.

“I had just moved to Atlanta to try to launch this play, so I went to work,” he said during his Tuskegee University commencement address. “I managed to save $12,000 and I put the show up working in used car, as a bill collector (proceeds from a tax return). I thought 1,200 people would show up that weekend but only 30 showed up. My car payment, rent, everything was tied up in it so I ended up homeless with no money and nothing to my name.”

And it would take several years before any one of his plays became a hit.

“From 1992, to 93, to 94, I was doing one show a year,” he said. “I kept on doing the play. Every year it would fail, until 1998, the seventh year of me trying. I was about to give up and walk away.”

So, what did Tyler Perry do differently? He said he sat down with audience members and listened to how his plays impacted them and his life changed forever. “My life shifted after that,” he said. “My intention became, how do I serve other people? How do I lift other people?”

Since then, Tyler Perry has become a mega-star in Hollywood. In 2011, Forbes named him the highest paid man in entertainment. In fact, he earned $130 million between May 2010 and 2011.

If you’re interested in working with Tyler Perry, he’s now hiring. Apply for a job here.

Artist Filmed Her Own Fake Rape for Art

0

Sophia Hewson, is an Australian based contemporary artist, who has made international headlines with a movie she’s calling a “rape representation.”

Currently on view at Melbourne’s Mars Gallery and titled “are you ok ‘bob’?, the three-minute movie shows the artist staring directly into the camera while “Bob,” a fake name, hits her during sex and attempts to force her head to one side. Hewson, who wears a white t-shirt, pushes back each time and confronts the viewer.

There is no nudity in the video, and all we see of “Bob” are his arms and hands.

“The raped woman is nearly always depicted with her face downcast and her eyes averted,” Hewson, 31, writes in her artist’s statement. The most challenging part of the piece “isn’t watching as a woman is struck or penetrated, it’s seeing her look back out at us from the experience.”

From The Daily Beast:

Reached by The Daily Beast via email, Hewson explained that in cinema and in art, representations of raped women “are often patriarchal depictions,” and that her work “pays homage to a long line of women artists whose calculated use of their bodies as deliberately vicious and referential tools enabled them to destabilize the institution.”

Hewson clarified that she did indeed have sex on camera, though the viewer does not see much beyond her unrelenting gaze.

She also explained in her email that she solicited “Bob,” a stranger, to engage in sexual activity while being filmed—and that she purposely targeted an older man whom she was not attracted to.

This video has sparked controversy online. Many people took to Twitter to bash Hewson’s performance art.

The video can only be viewed at Mars Gallery in Melbourne. But, you could probably find a copy of it on YouTube.

While we would like to separate the film industry and art, it’s important to remember that filmmaking is still an art form. But, can art go too far? Louis C.K. says nothing is off limits in comedy but, are subjects like rape and inequality off limits in the film industry?
