Alicia Keys doesn't like the $500K Mercedes Maybach designed by Virgil. Her husband Swizz Beats bought it for her. She acted surprised but left the car at the dealership & never picked it up.

George, I am the lowest level writer out there. If I got paid 50k for a feature screenplay, taxes would see about 20k of it at least. And 10k goes to my manager and lawyer. So I'll probably see 20k of that 50 total. And my rent is $2800 a month. 20k take home is not a salary. twitter.com/GeorgeEftaII/s

If you want diverse stories from diverse writers, they need to be able to pay their bills. To eat. What’s not clicking? Getting on here saying how Hollywood needs more diversity but simultaneously not understanding that those creators won’t be able to make the shit you want
