The good news is, the bill was dropped after adding the addendum. I guess their "religious freedom" isn't that important that they are willing to be exposed.

Actually, in an ironic way, this bill is indeed brilliant. For those who find Oklahoma politics distasteful, I'll summarize. A democratic legislator, who is completely against the conservative majority's desire to allow businesses to discriminate against gays for "religious reasons", is putting an addendum to the discrimination bill that says that IF a company is going to discriminate, they must be forced to advertise the discrimination openly. So, if you are going to refuse service, you are required to put up the metaphorical "COLORED"/"WHITES" signs on the water fountains. Both to protect the sensitivities of any gay people so they know to avoid the place, but also to make the business easy to identify for future discrimination claims/boycott actions. #ifyacan'tbeatthem,expose'em Thank you hoppers, I had added an explanation after realizing I had left everyone hanging. You were obviously reading the article and I thank you. Although not from Oklahoma, I sent the legislator an email thanking her for calling them out and will follow the progress of the bill. Hopefully, like the Arizona bill, this one will be defeated as well.

I actually liked her up to that. The idea she or her husband is original or some trailblazer is beyond obsurd. Did he land on the moon too lol? I always thought them being married would cause issues, she always takes his side. So something like this was always inevitable. I doubt she well get axed. She has a contract. The only way I see it happening. If Joe the contestent decides to sue for character defimation. She has a contract. So most likely their well be a apology and they well move on. I did read somewhere that the judges are not supposed to do anything to hurt the reputation of the show. Maybe they could be fired due to that clause in their contract. In the link I posted, there was another incident where the husband called a woman a c*** in a bakery because he thought she took his parking space, even though she had the right-of-way. Sounds like both husband and wife have bad tempers. NZ likes Adam, maybe they should ask Adam to be a judge, LOL. I never heard of Natalia before but I saw on Twitter that she hasn't had an certifications in any country on any of her albums or singles. So commercial success didn't get her that judging job.

I am very bad with the PM's.
I can't delete the mess I made in the 1st answer, but I tried the links in the second answer and they worked for me.
Let me know if there's a problem.

I remember Adam was asked if he would like to do Xfactor NZ and he was like could be fun haha. They clearly have no class. Talking down to someone because you had a hit two years ago, and thinking that gives you the right to act like your Lady Gaga is riduclous. That and humilting a guy who has low self esteem clearly, horrible.

As for what happens to Adam's share. I bet his accountants are substantially better than you give them credit for <laughs> Oh I totally give them tons of credit! I was just pulling a low to high ROM estimate out of my derriere based on a few common rules of thumb! That said, I think a free-and-clear payday between $4.3M and $14.4M could be reasonable based on some gross estimating. Seriously doubt it could be anything less (and hell - I'd take a $4M payday!), and I don't realistically think it could be significantly more based on the number of splits, although I'll happily grin at any number up to $20M.
