Taylor Swift’s Former Manager Files Lawsuit

Written by Violet on October 10, 2010 – 10:44 pm -

Taylor Swift is being sued by her former manager Dan Dymtrow and it’s possible she could end up owing millions if a judge sides with the music talent agent. Dymtrow alleges that Swift’s parents, Scott and Andrea, dismissed him after he signed her when she was 14, spent time developing her talent and hooked Taylor up with her current record company Big Machine Records.

“They delayed and delayed [the deal] and got rid of my client and subsequently signed the deal and kept his commissions for themselves,” Dymtrow attorney Fernando Pinguelo said.

Swift’s attorney begs to differ. They say he never obtained the correct legal documents to represent a minor and they fired him months before she signed on with Big Machine Records.

“For him to claim that her success and her major contracts were procured by him is ludicrous,” said Swift’s lawyer, Paul LiCalsi of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. “And even if there were some merit to his claims, paying him on the contract would defeat the whole purpose of the law in New York, which is to protect minors who sign contracts.”

This legal fight has been going on since 2007 and the judge has dismissed some of Dymtrow’s claims. With so much money at stake this battle is long from being over.

Daniel Radcliffe: Real Estate Mogul

Written by Violet on October 19, 2009 – 5:42 pm -

When you are one of the richest young actors in the world, what do you do with that money? Some party it away and others make smart choices for their future. Daniel Radcliffe is looking ahead and has purchased several properties in New York City as investments. He has an apartment in SoHo, a three bedroom condo with a view of the Hudson river and now he has a townhouse in the Greenwich Village area. The actor is back in the UK filming the final installment in the Harry Potter franchise: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. He may eventually end up living in one of these homes when he returns to Broadway next year but for now he is a just a young, talented landlord. The picture below is the interior of his new house. Sweet.
