Must Be Nice: Hostess’ Still Wants To Pay Millions In Bonuses To Top Execs After Filing For Bankruptcy!!

WTF!!?!? They laid-off thousands of workers and still had the nerve to ask the Judge to allow close to $2 Milli in bonuses? GTFOHWTBS… According to The Huffington Post : Hostess Brands Inc. said Thursday that it’s in talks with 110 potential buyers for its iconic brands, which also include CupCakes, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos. The suitors now include at least five national retailers such as supermarkets, a financial adviser for the company said in bankruptcy court. The process has been “so fast and furious” Hostess hasn’t been able to make the calls seeking buyers it previously intended, said Joshua Scherer of Perella Weinberg Partners. “Not only are these buyers serious, but they are expecting to spend substantial sums,” he said. The judge approved Hostess’ bonus plan, according to a tweet from CNBC: CNBC @CNBC BREAKING: Judge approves Hostess bonus payout plan; 19 Hostess senior executives in line for up to $1.8M in bonuses 29 Nov 12 The update on the sale of the company’s brands comes as Hostess seeks approval in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York in White Plains, N.Y. to give its top executives bonuses totaling up to $1.8 million as part of its wind-down plans. The company says the incentive pay is needed to retain the 19 corporate officers and “high-level managers” during the liquidation process, which could take about a year. Two of those executives would be eligible for additional rewards depending on how efficiently they carry out the liquidation. The bonuses would be in addition to their regular pay. A spokesman for Hostess noted executives will need to meet certain goals to get the bonuses. The bonuses do not include pay for CEO Gregory Rayburn, who was brought on as a restructuring expert earlier this year. Rayburn is being paid $125,000 a month. The company’s shuttering means loss of about 18,000 jobs. Hostess said it will need about 3,200 employees as it begins the wind down process, including 237 employees at the corporate level. In court Thursday, an attorney for Hostess noted that the company is no longer able to pay retiree benefits, which come to about $1.1 million a month. Hostess stopped contributing to its union pension plans more than a year ago. The company’s demise came after years of management turmoil, with workers saying the company failed to invest in updating its products. In January, Hostess filed for its second Chapter 11 bankruptcy in less than a decade, citing steep costs associated with its unionized work force. These companies keep failing but their Top Execs always manage to walk away with their cushion-y bonuses intact. This isht isn’t right. Images via shutterstock

Fighting children’s cancer – Hollywood in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The Russian prime minister is used to taking to the stage, but this time it was not for one of his speeches. Vladimir Putin made his audience sit up and take note, as he sang at a charity fundraiser. The reception at an ice stadium in St. Petersburg was dedicated to fighting children’s cancer. International celebrities including Kevin Costner, Gerard Depardieu, Mickey Rourke, Sharon Stone, Kurt Russell, Vincent Cassel, Monica Belucci, Ornella Muti, Goldie Hawn and many others attended the benefit concert. Many of the stars are actively involved in charity work which draws needed attention to children’s oncological and ophthalmological diseases. When the hostess approached Putin’s table and asked him to sing for the audience, his immediate reaction was “are you kidding me?” But the hostess was determined to get the prime minister on the mic and reminded him about the songs he sang with the Russian sleeper agents extradited from the US last summer. Putin attempted to evade the proposal by saying that the singing she was referring to had come from the heart. However, after seeing the pictures of ill children shown to the audience on the big screen, he took to the stage. “Like the majority of people I cannot – but do like to sing and to play – so you’ll have to rough it,” he warned as he sat at the piano and played the beginning of Blueberry Hill. The tune was immediately caught by Maceo Parker’s jazz band. The prime minister then took the mic and sang it in English himself. Putin returned to the piano to sing in Russian “From What the Homeland Starts” – the song he sang with the exposed Russian agents. The audience loved his performance and showed their appreciation with a standing ovation and applause. Many recorded the one man show on their mobile phones. On December 1, Putin confessed to US chat show host Larry King that he does study some songs in English with his language tutor. When the concert was over Putin took Sharon Stone by the arm and together with other guests they went on stage to sing a Russian song about cosmonauts, “Grass Near Home”. Martyn Andrews, our entertainment expert and host of RT's cultural program “Moscow Out,” thinks that Putin’s gesture at the charity event is great for his reputation, as he’s mostly stereotyped as cold and serious. “It’s not the first time he sung like that,” Andrews said. “The more he does things like this, the more people can connect with their leader.” added by: MotherForTruth

Rihanna Finger Bangs Herself on Stage of the Day

These pictures would have been a lot hotter 4 years ago, when Rihanna just started out, when she didn’t have a dyke haircut or 20 pounds she gained while living and eating the American dream. A time when she didn’t look like a chick who still thinks she’s a smaller size, who’s pants are topped out, and who needs to unbutton the shit after she has a bite to eat cuz there’s no more fucking room in them, as she’s really putting them through the test to see just how much abuse the fucking things can take. A time when we didn’t know she was a little cry baby bitch who is quick to call the cops over small domestic disputes, a warning sign that she’s the pussy you gotta stay away from…a firecracker who you can’t predict and who can take you the fuck down any fucking time she wants…the kind of girl who smashes her face against a frying pan to tell the authorities it was you to seriously fuck you up and here she is grabbing her pussy, doing a little over the pants finger bang like she was a 14 year old boy trying to get play with the girl down the street, something I’d think she should be doing the rest of her life for sexual satisfaction as she’s a red flag, but guys are fucking idiots who don’t care that a girl’s level of crazy will get them arrested but just care about a girl’s willing pussy…

Stephanie Pratt in a Short Tight Dress of the Day

I know Stephanie Pratt isn’t a real celebrity, she’s just on a shitty MTV show that I am hoping gets cancelled really fucking soon, because it’s polluted the entertainment industry, something that was once seemingly luxurious and classy, only to become the set of Jerry Springer, filled with fucking idiots with too much money and too much ego who don’t realize that they have no fucking talent and really don’t deserve to be much more than the Walmart cashier, or the hostess at an all you can eat asian buffet, or married to some rich dude and that they’ve pretty much just won the fucking lottery…because they really are barely middle of the road….and here she is showing off some leg is some shitty prom dress that hugs her ugly body more awkwardly than I used to hug hookers back when I felt lonely…..but at least she has leg cuz leg has the ability to make me forget all that is wrong with a woman….
