So I am sitting here reading up on my daily gossip for the day and I run across a few articles about about some of our beloved stars and programs. Seems that they have been in a little trouble recently and are working out their legalities. So let's take a look at a few stories that I ran past today:
1) "Sesame Street" Composer Pleads Not Guilty to Child Porn Chargers
Now this story hits home as being part of a generation that grew up on Sesame Street. One of the composers for the grammy-award winning Sesame Street plead "not-guilty" to producing, possessing, and distributing pornography of a 4-year old child. The composer, Fernando Rivas, is currently under house arrest. Rivas was arrested in April 2011 after photos of the 4-year old being restrained "bondage-style" were discovered. Rivas admitted to having sent those photos to two other persons.
Now as much as I love "Sesame Street" growing up and still love it for my children...this seriously needs to be handled as quick as possible and in a discreet manner to save its reputation.

2) Rihanna's "We Found Love" Video Banned In France
So once again (and I mean this in a daily sense) Rihanna is in the headlines of recent Entertainment news, blogs, and vlogs. So Ms. Rihanna has put out another racy music video that has caught the attention of France. The French censors have made this decision based on the "self-destructive" behavior they feel the video contains. The Supreme Audiovisual Council of France have ruled the video to only be shown after 10pm due to its explicitness. This video will be the second video for Rihanna within recent months to have been banned. Her video for "S&M' had been banned in 10 other countries besides France in earlier months.
Now I am honestly not sure that Rihanna and her record company actually cares for other countries banning her music videos because her career seems to be built off of controversy.

3) Wesley Snipes Sued Over Credit Card Debt
Wesley Snipes is once again in financial trouble and having to face a credit card company in dispute of repayment for $30,000 in unpaid charges. He is currently serving a 3 year sentence for tax evasion. American Express, who has filed this lawsuit, attempted to recover their money prior to Mr. Snipes sentencing. They are now wanting to recover their owed monies in addition to associated legal fees.
I am no celebrity but I do know that your name is like credit within the Entertainment Industry and like credit you want to ensure that you keep your name in good standings. This is not a good example of keeping your name, finances and/or credit in good standing and this will follow him for quite some time.

These are just a few of the many legalities that are currently going on within the Entertainment Industry. Hopefully I brought light to few situations that you may or may not have known were occurring. So hopefully I have enlightened you minds on a different sector of the Entertainment Industry.
