I googled it and she claimed she was getting $25-50k per episode for Mandalorian. Considering she didn't even show up in the majority of episodes, that might have been like $150-200k per season tops. So assuming she was being honest (and that does track with the stuff I've read about Disney's pay practices) that would be good money by working joe standards, definitely not get-rich-quick money.

She was getting starring lead in her own Star Wars show that was already in pre-production when she blew everything up

At least they inspired this review (quoting their Wikipedia page):

quote:

A writer for the Warsaw Business Journal attempted to describe their music: "Imagine an impassioned triceratops mating with a steam turbine, while off to the side Daft Punk and the Bee Gees beat each other to death with skillets and spatulas. Imagine the sound that would make. Just try. BrokeNCYDE is kind of like that, except it also makes you want to jab your thumbs into your eyeballs and gargle acid."

Annoying fact check Gina never fought in the UFC, she did have a legitimate career in MMA but never fought in an organization with that many eyeballs on it and was retired already by the time UFC even created their women's divisions.

Mel Gibson had not one, but two career suicide moves! Every once in awhile his name is attached to something that does decently and the media is like 'is the public ready to forgive Mel Gibson?' like they're really trying to push it. How about not encouraging us to forgive awful people?

My idiot father is certain without a spot of doubt Mel Gibson is targeted by Hollywood jewery since he directed "The Passion".

He also likes "Wild Wild West", "Pluto Nash" and "After Earth, so he has a type when it comes to movies he enjoys: huge expensive career ending farces.

I forgot he became a director, Apocalypto was a big deal on release too.

I don't know why I feel so compelled to stand up for Henry Cavil, I know nothing about him as a person, but dating someone you're attracted to is how you find out if you're compatible. Judge people by who they formed long term committed relationships with not who they went out with a few times.

To my understanding (I dont follow pop tabloid stuff much) Cavil dated Carano, dated someone else, went back to Carano, then moved on. Also he made at best tone deaf comments about #metoo and there's a fair bit of rumors about him being a misogynist to the women writers and producers of the Witcher etc but again, just rumors so idk. He might be a solid dude but he's gotten enough bad press I'd be reluctant to just outright support him.
