Faith Evans Owes Over $60k in Taxes

*Add Faith Evans to the list of celebrity tax scofflaws.

That’s because the state of California has issued a big ol’ lien against the singer, reports TMZ.

The State of California Tax Franchise Board filed papers recently that claimed Evans failed to fully pay her taxes to the Golden State for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. In total she owes $60,357.17.

If Evans doesn’t cough up the cash soon, the state could go after any assets she owns — like homes, cars and bank accounts.

Calls to Evans rep have not been returned.

Ten Little Niggers (1939) was the original British title of Agatha Christie’s novel And Then There Were None, which has also been known by the alternate title Ten Little Indians.

And Agatha Christie is supposed to be one of those classic writers? Fuck. Her.

I just can’t. This tears my heart. How can you rip a child from her mother?

Last week, all 19 global editions of Vogue pledged to cease hiring models who are under the age of 16 or who “appear to have eating disorders.” But will Vogue be able to stop young models from being exploited?

Like the CFDA’s, Vogue’s Health Initiative is an attempt at self-regulation, which in modeling has so far borne mixed results. The CFDA’s guidelines governing working hours for models under 18 are actually less strict than the applicable New York state labor law. And the CFDA rules have been widely flouted: They ask designers not to hire models under 16 for runway work, but this February, Marc Jacobs — who sits on the organization’s board, and was the recipient of its lifetime achievement award in 2011 — hired not one but two 14-year-olds for his show. He defended himself on the grounds of creative freedom. In March, I reported for Jezebel that Jacobs hired a 17-year-old Oregon girl to be his house model for the season; she put in over 30 hours in his studio, working ’til 4:30 a.m. Jacobs, whose budget for a single fashion show reportedly topped $1 million in 2011, didn’t pay her.

I love imagining the conversation these five were having. heavy concerns of policy in race and culture? Or were they trying to figure out where to catch dinner? And which scenario do I love more? Difficult to say!! :)
