Leibovitz: Better off Bankrupt

by Tom Johansmeyer (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Art

Now that she's staring down a $24 million lawsuit, Annie Leibovitz is running out of choices. With Art Capital Group claiming the rights to her photo archive, real estate and other assets posted as collateral, some experts say bankruptcy would buy her some time to find a new plan. But, it would come at the cost of privacy, as the photographers finances would be thrust into the public eye.

Neither Leibovitz's attorneys nor financial advisers returned Bloomberg News' calls for comment, but experts suggest that desperate times call for desperate measures. Filing for protection would push litigation into the future and secure the artist a bit of leverage. Hell, maybe it would buy her some time to see if Miley Cyrus wants to get naked again. I don't know if that would be worth $24 million, but I'm sure it would help Leibovitz to chip away at the debt.

Industry insiders seem to call Art Capital Group a capital source of last resort, though that's probably a bit unfair. If you're pledging collateral or are otherwise transacting in an illiquid market, common sense is necessary. And, let's face it, if traditional banks played in this space, Leibovitz may not have been hit with such tough terms. But, it's hard to believe she didn't know the rules of the game.

Mum's the word for now on Leibovitz's future. One thing is certain, however: she didn't spend the money on makeup.

[Thanks, Jason, for the makeup crack]

Miley Cyrus Trades The Porsche For A Prius

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Celebrity Shopping

In December we heard that pop star Miley Cyrus was driving around her mother's old Porsche Cayenne as she learned to drive. Now the sixteen-year-old has gotten her own new car. Her father Billy Ray Cyrus brought her a Prius.

On Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show Miley explained that the Cayenne was both too large (a 'big ol' tank' in her words) and not very green.

The Cayenne has been sold to a family friend and now Miley joins the many Hollywood folk who own a Prius.

Miley Cyrus's First Car

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Celebrity Shopping

It was rumored recently that Miley Cyrus's first car was going to be a Mercedes convertible. But it turns out the moneymaking songstress who recently celebrated her 16th birthday, will be driving mom's old car, just like many other teens. Of course in this case mom's cast-off is a Porsche Cayenne. So far Miley only has her learner's permit. Miley celebrated her 16th birthday at the American Music Awards and instead of getting a new car for her birthday, her father Billy Ray Cyrus built her a recording studio at the house.
