During the recent tour in Russia Jennifer Lopez had to appear at the private party of Alexander Yelkin Russian oligarch linked to some exclusive contracts from Russias Ministry of Defense. However, just before his 50th birthday Yelkin was arrested for corruption and the festive anniversary was canceled. Therefore, the American singer who was paid in advance pocketed a hefty sum of money without straining a finger. Meanwhile, Russian newspapers are running the news stories with the titles Jennifer Lopez refuses to return money stolen from the Ministry of Defense. http://redhotrussia.com/jennifer-lopez-russian-corrupt-oligarch/
Will Jennifer Lopez sing in Butyrka? (ed: Butyrka is the Russian prison) From KP.ru: The famous American actress and singer Jennifer Lopez was invited to sing at the party dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Reserve Colonel Alexander Yelkin – in his own words a “close friend of Anatoliy Serdyukov” (incidentally, the defense minister was listed first in the list of 200 guests for a banquet). [Note: Meanwhile Serdyukov himself was fired amid the corruption scandal] But the day before the anniversary Yelkin was arrested. Now Lopez and her producer must sort out this very unpleasant situation. The contract has already been signed, and they say that Lopez was paid in advance (50%). So what now? Jennifer couldn’t perform due to force majeure circumstances (who would write in the contract that there would be no payment if the hero of the day was arrested?). Thus, the singer and producers should decide whether to completely deny the existence of contract with Yelkin or make the concert in any case. The fee is rumored to be almost $ 2 million – worth to perform in front of Yelkin and his “fellow prisoners”. It’s not clear, however, how the former head of “Slavyanka” would pay for the concert, taking in account that his savings have been seized by investigators as material evidence. _________________ Comments of Russian netizens гость: He ordered her for the stolen money, so J. Lopes should return it to the Russian people (some children’s hospital, for example). Or in worst case leave it for herself due to the termination of the contract, but not return to this thief. 222: Advance payment has been made also from the stolen money. So, Lopez, as a decent girl, should return it. Игорь (replying to the above): Bull(*)(*)(*)(*)! All big money in Russia is stolen. Гость №1093: Jennifer, watch again the movie “Some Like It Hot”. The situation is identical. You were invited by the bosses of Russian mafia. Just in movie they exist in parallel to the state, and our state is itself mafia. нина: For such fee I would sing, even in Butyrka. Самая умная: If I were Jennifer Lopez, I would forgive Yelkin that advance payment of 1 million and forget it. Anonymous: The fall of Lopez has no end (bottom)! Гость №7698: For this money, intended for Lopez, you can build the plant for removal of iron from drinking water in our town. And more will remain. How long we asked “Slavyanka” (ed: company headed by Yelkin) to do it! People, including our kids, drink water with the color of coffee. Will we ever recall the word CONSCIENCE? Or only on the deathbed? гост: He’d better invite (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) (ed: (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Riot).. they would sing and maybe do something else. Организатор концертов: This girl seems to specialize in corrupt and tyrants of all colors and nationalities. Питекантроп: She did not steal it from the country, she received it from the private person. And it is this person who must return everything till the last cent.
