Bella Thorne who was at the center of an attack by an online hacker ended up releasing her own nude photos to take back control of the hacker, who was threatening to release the explicit content without her permission. However, following the release of her photos, Whoopi Goldberg had some thoughts that she shared on the show. Whoopi said, “If you’re famous, I don’t care how old you are. You don’t take nude pictures of yourself. Once you take that picture, it goes into the Cloud and it’s available to any hacker who wants it, and if you don’t know that in 2019 that this is an issue, I’m sorry. You don’t get to do that.” Thorne ended up hearing Whoopi’s comments and tearfully responded to Whoopi via an Instagram video where she calls her out for shaming her. Thorne said in the video: “I’m not gonna lie, I wanna say that I feel pretty disgusting. I feel pretty disgusting, Whoopi, knowing that everyone’s seen my sh*t. And I just want to say that me watching this interview made me feel bad about myself. And I hope you’re happy. I really do. I hope you’re so f*cking happy….You’re so crazy   Read more…

All Time Low Member Jack Barakat, who is the guitarist, has been sharing some rather cryptic messages on social media, calling “it” a “little somethin’ somethin’ that he has been working on. Confirmed yesterday is his new side project, WHOHURTYOU which Barakat announced on social media while also sharing an important message on mental health and music. The first announcement came on Instagram yesterday with a tease “WhoHurtYou 6/21” which came with an equally cryptic video. The new WhoHurtYou Account on instagram then posted a new video, which was a brief interview and montage of Barakat discussing his new project with Kevin Fisher. In The Post on the WhoHurtYou Account, reads “We are WhoHurtYou. A dark pop project started between @jackbarakat and @iamsweettalker with the purpose of healing from heartbreak and turning a negative experience into something positive.” Barakat goes on to explain that he’s “always felt that I’ve had to portray myself in a certain way online. Kind of be this comic relief and someone who’s always in a positive mental state. It’s just not the truth. And it’s not real. And everyone has their ups and downs, and I’ve never really put mine out there. He goes on   Read more…

In a silent but significant move on Instagram, Selena Gomez deleted the only public trace of her former relationship with Justin Bieber on Instagram. Fans almost immediately noticed that Selena removed the birthday tribute that she posted in March of 2018, which was her ‘instagram-official’ post after they rekindled their on-again-off-again relationship. Sources said across various tabloids that when Justin Bieber and Hayley Baldwin first got engaged that Gomez was unbothered. One told E!, “Selena knows that Justin makes rash decisions but wishes them both the best. She is truly focused on herself and Justin is no longer a topic of conversation in her life.” Many fans are reacting on Instagram that they are happy the ‘saga’ has finished and that she has moved on.

Kristy Swanson and Co Star Dean Cain are set to play former Trump-Russia investigators  Lisa Page and Peter Strzok in a performance titled FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers  in Washington DC. The performance will highlight the former agents’ text messages to each other and their extramarital affair and hatred for Trump. However, news of this performance has caused some anger from critics of the President. “Swanson, who frequently tweets pro-Trump messages, shared a screenshot on a tweet sent by an anonymous troll threatening to “lock the doors and set the theater on fire.” The actress called the message a “death threat” and demanded it be reported. Cain retweeted her post. – Erin Donnelly, https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/kristy-swanson-dean-cain-fbi-lovebirds-death-threat-trump-123258063.html Later, Swanson continued on saying that she was happy the tweet had been removed, but was disappointed that the account who posted the tweet, had not been banned. The original tweet message posted by ‘Sponson” and has since been deleted, read “Have the Capitol Steps open, lock the doors, and set the theater on fire”. Screenshotted images of the tweet can be found online.

There are two exceptions in shunning your 401k plan: You’re paying a very high effective tax rate and you’ve confirmed that you’re retirement tax rate will be less; or your employer matches some part of your contribution. Other than those two exceptions forget it. The first step in determining whether you should stay or leave your 401k plan is to calculate where you are in the progressive marginal tax system. There are three mitigating items that can lower your tax bill: exemptions, deductions and tax credits. (And based on your income you may or may not be able to take advantage of these items.) Once you’ve determined your tax bracket you can weigh the restrictions of your 401k against the tax savings of your contributions. Many middle class Americans are paying a blended tax rate of 18%. A $1,000 contribution saves $180 and over 30 years that tax savings totals $5,400. But when you take a distribution from your 401K, you pay ordinary income taxes on the distributions and those distributions figure in the calculation on the taxes you’ll pay on your Social Security benefits. Those annual taxes during retirement will exceed the tax deductions you saved during your working   Read more…

Under the current tax code the standard deduction and personal exemptions can neutralize some of your taxable income during retirement. So some taxable monies, around $20,000 a year, can be assimilated into your retirement plan. But Roth IRAs more than likely fit the financial profile of most middle class Americans who are saving for retirement. For this group, deductions lack the economic value. Positioning “after tax” distributions as your first option before your qualified monies may have significant tax favored results, such as lower capital gains treatment as one example. Again distributions from reverse mortgages, cash value life insurance, Roth IRAs and HSA accounts are not taxed and are not includable in the provisional income test or Social Security benefit taxation. Deferring your Social Security benefits to age 70 will maximize your Social Security income and delaying qualified plan monies to age 70½ will allow an additional investment or savings cycle that potentially could increase your account just before retirement. Roth IRAs are not deductible, but they do accumulate tax deferred and at the approved time for distributions are tax-free. Roth IRA income is not includable in the provisional test for Social Security benefit taxation. An individual’s annual contribution to   Read more…
