Taylor Swift Loses Les Miserables Role

Posted on by

Taylor Swift Not Headed to Hollywood This Time Around. The country music scene has been abuzz with the news of Taylor Swift‘s audition and subsequent offer to play a role in the upcoming film adaptation of the classic novel turned Broadway production, Les Miserables. We were curious if this signified just an opportunity for Swift or a career change. However, it looks like it’s a moot point since Taylor has been passed up for the role in favor of a different actress. HaleighT is here to share her opinion on these Hollywood wheelings and dealings! Check out what she thinks and tell us what you think! Did Taylor deserve the role or does it just not matter? Get The Scoop On Taylor Swift’s Missed Hollywood Opportunity!

Garth Brooks Hospital Lawsuit

Posted on by

Does Garth Brooks Deserve His $1 Million Settlement? The final ruling in the court case between Garth Brooks and an Oklahoma hospital came down, and Brooks was awarded a whopping $1 million! The first $500,000 accounts for the donation Brooks gave the hospital to fund the construction of a women’s wing which would bare the name of Brooks’ late mother. The hospital never made this wing, hence the court case. The other half of the million was awarded to Brooks for punitive damages. HaleighT is here to fill you in on whether or not she thinks Garth deserves such a large settlement. Check out what she has to say and tell us what YOU think!
