Amber Rose Gives TERRIBLE Financial Advice

There are lessons to be learned from the past, according to Amber Rose . “I feel like I’m in a position to give advice to women because I’ve made all of these mistakes,” Rose tells Time Magazine of her book, How to Be A Bad Bitch .  “I am a mogul. I have a bunch of businesses, I’m now an actress, I’m an author, I went on an entire world tour and I don’t even sing. So if that doesn’t tell you that I am an entrepreneur, then I don’t know what does.” One of Rose’s lessons learned happened when it came time to file her 2011 taxes.   “One of the biggest financial mistakes that I ever made was making a lot of money—I wanna say I made $1 million in 2011—and I spent all of it,” she recalled.  “And then after that, I had to pay taxes, and I did not have money for the taxes, and I was like, ‘I cannot believe I did this.’ “And I really had to start over … I know a whole lot of people that don’t pay taxes. And it comes back to bite you in the ass. Trust me. “So I did pay all my taxes off, and I feel amazing now, but it took a lot of hard work.” View Slideshow: 18 Surprising Jobs These Celebrities Actually Held Rose has advice for women who want to reach financial success and achieve their goals, and they’re…unorthodox. “Being a dancer definitely was like being in business school, because I constantly spoke to people. I mean, I literally had to persuade a man to give me money out of his pocket. And I apply that to my daily life. “Even getting a book, you have to have an initial meeting—Hi, Simon and Schuster!—with the publisher, and you have to sell yourself.” ““Really, fully research every aspect of the business that you’re trying to get into,” Rose says. “Explain to your friends that you won’t always be able to hit the club with them when you’re trying to save money. “If they’re your friends, they’ll respect it.” If they keep haunting you, this will shut them up right quick: “Tell them that you’re trying to save up for whatever it may be, and if they want you to come out with them then it has to be their treat .” The phone will go silent after that.  Trust me.  Then you’ll have all the time in the world to focus on your dreams. I have not found success with this next tip.  To be fair, I never though to try it. “As women, we’re fortunate enough to use our seductive skills in order to be able to get money from our significant others,” Rose explains. “I also talk about seduction in the book. A lot of women don’t know how to seduce a man. Go on… “It is extremely easy once you get to that point, and you can get anything you want out of them,” Rose said.  “And I know it might sound messed up, but once you get to that point, it’s not using. “It’s not using a man, it’s literally getting what you want by any means necessary.” Do you spend that money right away?  Do you save up for a house?  Where does the seduction money go , Amber Rose? Some weren’t pleased with the model’s advice, and made their feelings known via Twitter.  Unfortunately, Rose didn’t care. “Lol y’all are so Corny So it’s wrong to ask ur “Significant other” (The person u care about) to help u financially so u can reach ur goal?”  I have so many questions that will go unanswered.

Taylor Swift: Awesome Judge Quotes Singer’s Lyrics While Dismissing Lawsuit

When you’re as successful as Taylor Swift, nuisance lawsuits are a common occurrence. But apparently, being sued can sometimes be an absolute pleasure – so long as you win the case, and your judge happens to be an amateur song parodist with a sharp sense of humor. The story goes: Taylor was being sued for $42 million by a man named Jessie Braham, who claims that Taylor stole the lyrics for “Shake It Off” from his 2013 song “Haters Gonna Hate.” The case was dismissed today in a fashion that will surely be appreciated by fans of Swifty: “At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court,” reads the dismissal order from US Magistrate judge Gail J Standish. “As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space — one that requires Braham to do more than write his name. “And, upon consideration of the Court’s explanation in Part II, Braham may discover that mere pleading Band-Aids will not fix the bullet holes in his case…At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit.” Oh, snap! Looks like  Taylor’s not the only who can dole out epic burns in song form. Sadly, the judge didn’t actually sing the verdict, but we get the feeling the result would have been as hilariously stiff as presidential candidate Martin O’Malley’s rendition of “Bad Blood.” View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Instagram Photos: This Singer Has Style!
