Schwimmer to direct in theatre

MCC Theatre spent the last week unveiling the female stars of its
production of Neil LaBute's Some Girl(s) one by one, as if they were the
finalists on a beauty pageant. They make for an impressive, eclectic and
TV-friendly quartet. Maura Tierney hails from "ER." Fran Drescher was the star
of "The Nanny." Judy Reyes is a star of "Scrubs." Only Brooke Smith is primarily
known for a film: "Silence of the Lambs." They all play the old girlfriends of a
man who's about to get engaged. He, appropriately enough, is played by Eric
McCormack (of TV's "Will & Grace"). Meanwhile, the original London star of
the play, David Schwimmer, revealed he will direct the L.A. debut of the
drama.

Will Jennifer Aniston pay the taxes?

According to the American Tax Office, all people, including celebrities, who accepted the gifts at the Oscar-gala should pay the taxes in the amount of about 30.000 USD.

Adó sújtja az Oscar gála vendégeit
Azok a vendégek és részt vevők, akik hazavitték a 78. alkalommal megrendezett Akadémiai Díjkiosztón kapott ajándékcsomagjukat, akár 30.000 dollárnyi adót is fizethetnek szerzeményükért.
A csomag, melyben többek között 7000 dolláros Victoria’s Secret fehérnemű, és Lasik szemműtétre feljogosító kupon is volt, egyenként körülbelül 100.000 dollár értékűek.
Az amerikai adóhivatal úgy nyilatkozott, hogy az Oscaron kapott ajándék adóköteles jövedelemnek számít.
„Reméljük, a sztárok is fizetnek szabályszerűen a kapott ajándékokért.” – mondta Mark Everson, az adóhivatal egyik képviselője.
