Karma is indeed a beyotch. Some public breakups go better than others, but the resignation of one exec from Goldman Sachs has turned into a very costly kiss-off for the company. Goldman Sachs lost more than $2 billion after “low drama” exec Greg Smith thrust himself into the global spotlight Wednesday with a very public resignation letter that scathingly denounced his employer. In the trading hours after the op-ed began circulating, the firm’s shares dropped 3.4 percent, the third-biggest decline in the S&P, Bloomberg reports. Smith’s take-that-(high-paid)-job-and-shove-it missive – published as an Op-Ed piece in The New York Times – blasted what he termed Goldman’s “toxic and destructive culture.” The executive director said the storied investment bank is indifferent to the interests of clients, who high-level bosses referred to as “muppets.” He said he attended meetings where the topic of how to help clients never came up. “It’s purely about how we can make the most possible money off of them. If you were an alien from Mars and sat in on one of those meetings, you would believe that a client’s success or progress was not part of the thought process at all,” Smith, 33, wrote in his caustic goodbye note, titled “Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs.” He said that in the last year, “I have seen five different managing directors refer to their own clients as ‘muppets.’” He added: “Today, if you make enough money for the firm (and are not currently an ax murderer) you will be promoted into a position of influence.” Smith, who had worked at Goldman for nearly 12 years and said his clients had a trillion dollars in assets, wrote: “I knew it was time to leave when I realized I could no longer look students in the eye and tell them what a great place this was to work. “I truly believe that this decline in the firm’s moral fiber represents the single most serious threat to its long-term survival.” The no-holds-barred missive was quickly trending on Twitter and triggered an uproar in financial circles. Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein and President Gary Cohn responded in a plainly worded internal memo. “We were disappointed to read the assertions made by this individual that do not reflect our values, our culture and how the vast majority of people at Goldman Sachs think about the firm and the work it does on behalf of our clients,” the memo read. The Op-Ed stunned those close to Smith, who described the ex-Goldman vice president as an unassuming political junkie. “Doing something as publicly as this is quite a surprise,” said a source who knows Smith. “He’s a low-drama type person.” Smith, a Ping-Pong whiz from South Africa, is single. He interned for Goldman at Stanford University, then scored a full-time position with the firm in 2001. As he climbed the ranks at the investment bank, Smith, whose dad worked as a pharmacist, lived a lifestyle true to his roots, a source said. He rented an apartment and never bought a car. In 2010, he moved to London to work as the head of the firm’s U.S. equity derivatives business in Europe. “He doesn’t fit the stereotype of a Wall Street type,” said a person close to Smith. “He was more concerned with having enough money for people in his life who were important to him than spending it on luxury items.” Experts estimated that Smith, a mid-level executive, probably was paid modestly by banking standards – less than $750,000 a year. Wow, this is legendary stuff. And to think, he said all that and he wasn’t even Goldman “sacked.” Source More On Bossip!

She’s never discussed it publicly before, but in the new issue of Out magazine, actress Gillian Anderson reveals that she was a bit of a donut-bumper back in her high school days. Gillian says that moving from London to the small city of Grand Rapids, Michigan as a teen was difficult and led to some pretty outrageous behavior, including binge drinking, purple hair..and oh yeah, muff diving: “I was in a relationship with a girl for a long time when I was in high school…Yeah, yeah, well it’s… You know, I’m old enough that I can talk about that,” she says. So why didn’t Gillian mention her bisexual tendencies before? Seems like she simply didn’t want to make it a bigger deal than it was: “If I had thought I was 100% gay, would it have been a different experience for me?…It’s possible that my attitude around it came, on some level, from knowing that I still liked boys.” Now if you’ll excuse us, we have a new chapter to write for our fanfic, The XXX Files: The Fist Is Up There .

My name is Emily and one day, I was browsing my Facebook newsfeed when HMV posted a status saying, “MEET JUSTIN BIEBER THIS WEEKEND” . I stopped. I quickly clicked on the link and the HMV ticket website popped up. It read that 700 lucky fans could meet Justin Bieber this weekend at a “Secret London Location”. I screamed upstairs for my Mum to come down and enter her credit card details. I bought the following: a Meet & Greet With Justin Bieber, a Group Photograph with Justin & a signed copy of “First Step 2 Forever” Book. How much did this cost? £20. The BEST value for money EVER! I arrived at the “Secret Location” which was The Relentless Garage in London and there was a line of what seemed like millions of people. We joined the queue and began the long wait for Justin to arrive. The meet & greet was scheduled to start at 2pm but Justin was late and arrived at 5pm. As we weren’t in the first 250 people, we were let after they came out. All I could see were teenage girls in tears. Before I could work out if they were happy or sad tears, I was whisked into the building… I was about to MEET Justin Bieber. After waiting some more, our colour wristband was called and I joined the queue. It moved forward slowly and I saw Kenny, Justin’s security guard. I said hello but he was mainly interested in my poor little brother who had to come a long as he couldn’t be left home alone. It was my turn to meet Justin. Kenny told me to stand on Justin’s left hand side and I made my way over. Justin was just singing and dancing the radio. He is a NORMAL teenage boy! “Heeeyy Justin. I love you” “Awwwhh Heeeyyy!” Justin put his arm around me and makes me jump. I wasn’t expecting it. I remember thinking *JUSTIN HAS HIM ARM AROUND ME OMG* but I HAD to remain cool. Just for this picture. I put my arm round Justin and the photographer took our picture. “Thank You Justin.. Bye!!” “Thanks girls. Bye” And I went to pick up my signed book. 7 hours of queuing for 30 seconds with my idol. It was worth EVERY waiting moment. Thank you for reading My Bieber Experience! -@EmilyDukuDubzJB See more here: My name is Emily and one day, I was browsing my Facebook…

On the bright side, this may make people forget about that whole drunken-hamburger video… Actor-turned-singer-turned-occasional-trainwreck David Hasselhoff performed a show at the IndigO2 in London over the weekend, singing songs in a variety of get-ups, from a lifeguard costume to a long-haired wig to an Adolf Hitler mustache and suit. Wait… what? No, really, it’s true: In the Hoff’s defense, he was singing a song from the movie The Producers , which is based around a play titled “Springtime for Hitler.” But still. There are a lot of plays out there from which he could choose a number. It didn’t help that Hasselhoff reportedly forget the lyrics to the track and that an attendee referred to the show (via The Sun ) as “complete shambles.” What do you think of Hasselhoff dressing as Hitler?
The National Enquirer is not the only tabloid that won’t let Whitney Houston rest in peace . According to The London Sun , the late singer carried on an affair with Jermaine Jackson – while the latter was married – in the early 1980s. The newspaper, which does not cite a single source, even claims Whitney’s hit single “Saving All My Love for You” was based on her secret romance with MJ’s brother. A few stolen moments is all that we share/You’ve got your family and they need you there. Though I’ve tried to resist being last on your list/But no other man’s gonna do/So I’m saving all my love for you , Houston croons on that track. The tabloid goes on to say that Michael Jackson was aware of the relationship and did not approve. It also says Jermaine was so broken up over Houston’s death that he could not attend her funeral. Late last month, Jermaine offered a few words of wisdom to Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina. [Photos: WENN.com]
