ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 01/06/16 **Bani is in town**


It is that time of the year. Bani is in town. For those of you new to the site, you can read about Bani, the world’s largest celebrity sex broker here. Last week Bani was in Miami and this week, as is his custom, he is in town for the Golden Globes. Since the posts last year, Bani has been swamped with requests from agents/managers/people of celebrities who want to get in on the action. Even though I never shared any information, it didn’t take long for people to find who they needed to find. His meetings last week in Miami were extensive and this week here in LA he has been busy for 15-16 hours a day meeting and speaking with reps of celebrities hoping to cash in on the celebrity sex trade. One thing he has noticed over the past year is that many celebrities, especially the higher profile ones no longer want to go to Dubai for these meetings. They want them to either be in Mykonos or in the Med this spring and summer or some new destination. Only the higher profile celebrities really have this option. They know that if it is reported they are in Dubai, that everyone immediately knows what they are doing there, no matter how good the cover story. Other destinations at least give some wiggle room. Another change since last year is that, much like Hollywood, superheroes, or at least the women who star on shows with superheroes or are superheroes themselves are big business. Not such big business is reality television. He blames the UK reality market for that. Too much saturation as they swarm all over Dubai and have really lowered the demand and prices. There were two notable exceptions to the reality doldrums. They will be listed below. Another change Bani has noticed since last year is his ability to reach out to an agent or manager directly and discuss "business opportunities" in Dubai and have the agent/manager/rep know exactly what it is about and give a yes or no fairly quickly. This has allowed Bani to go through the "shopping list" quickly and to focus on deals that can get done. Yacht season in the Med is still the number one requested time of the year. He thinks it is two fold. One, the filming season for shows is over and also the stars add some vacation time to the end or can arrange for some day long visit to the various film festivals/conventions going on in the region during that time period so they can also get the studio/festival organizer give them some money/cover. Below are the biggest 50 celebrities either who have signed up or who are desired. Those who are simply desired rather than committed have an **** after their description.
#1 – Not the biggest actress on this CW superhero hit, BUT she is on the hit and was also on a back in the day network hit despite her relatively young age. She got to name a big price. Willa Holland ("Arrow") ("The O.C.")

#2 – A co-star of #1, she locked down a deal last week for multiple visits. She is the biggest female star of the show to go and is not really loved by any fans of the show. Katie Cassidy ("Arrow")

#3 – This one is a change. This married A+ list mostly movie actor will be headed to Dubai and the Med solo and had Bani arrange for him to hook up with several actresses he wants to hook up with but would be difficult because of his status and visibility and his wife. Channing Tatum

#4 – This B list mostly television actress who was on a hit almost network show got her first taste of the Med this past summer and has signed up for multiple weeks this year. Apparently the money will allow her to pick some projects she likes, plus she keeps hoping she can marry one of the guys. Nina Dobrev

#5 – One of #4’s co-stars from the show will be hitting as many location as possible, but her price has gone down because of some really bad behavior last year involving some drugs and fighting.

#6 – The celebrity offspring of this foreign born former A+ list singer/actress will be there. Yeah, even though she apparently has a boyfriend. Chloe Lattanzi (Olivia Newton John)/James Driskill

#7 – Other celebrity offspring who will be there include this C list model who is the offspring of an A+ list mostly movie actor. Dylan Penn (Sean Penn and Robin Wright)

#8 – The C list model offspring of this A list movie/television actor. Ireland Baldwin (Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger)

#9 – The C- list model celebrity offspring of this former B list actor who really doesn’t do anything but live off the family name. Hailey Baldwin (Stephen Baldwin)

#10 – The B- list model/reality star celebrity offspring of this former A list rapper/entertainer/reality star. Angela Simmons ("Joseph Simmons -- aka Rev. Run")

#11 – Not an offspring, but the sibling to this former A list tweener actress who can’t seem to get much good work as an adult actress. Ali Lohan (Lindsey); Stella Hudgens (Vanessa)

#12- The B- list actress celebrity offspring of this A list mostly television actor who hit gold on two massive network hits. Greer Grammar (Kelsey Grammar "Cheers" and "Frasier")

#13- The no name celebrity offspring of an A list acting family going back for multiple generations. For a no namer she got some big bucks because of what is big right now in the world. Billie Catherine Lourd (Carrie Fisher, mother; Debbie Reynolds, grandmother) ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens")

#14**** This C+ list actress celebrity offspring of two A listers is still considering her options. She doesn’t need the money which makes it more of a challenge. Rumer Willis (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore)

#15 – The no name celebrity offspring of an A- list mostly television actress who has had bit hits in movies and television and pay cable.

#16 – The sister to #9. Alaia Baldwin

#17- ***** An offspring yes. Of A listers yes, but she is B+ list on her own. Maybe even A-. She is wavering because of the pile of cash being offered. It is more than what she will make on the movie everyone is waiting for. Dakota Johnson (Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson)

#18 – This B/B- list mostly television actress who was on a hit show is the celebrity offspring of a B+ list mostly movie actor everyone knows the face and name of but not necessarily together.

#19- This C- list celebrity offspring of this A+ list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee. This would be her second time despite being barely legal. Corinne Foxx (Jamie Foxx)

#20 – This C list model is the celebrity offspring of a permanent A list mostly movie actor. The crazy thing is, her mom would probably love to do it too but there is not the demand for it. Lily Rose Depp (Johnny Depp)/Vanessa Paradis

#21 – This B list actress has done it before. Her mom did it back in the day. Her dad has enjoyed the women on the yachts. So, it is really family tradition.

#22 – The B-/C+ list actress/reality star celebrity offspring of this permanent A+ list mostly movie actor.

#23- Something about religion is the only thing Bani can think of which would make these two, basically the only reality stars in demand. Both are on the same network. One is married and probably has a thing against Muslim men so Bani thinks it is a no go but everyone loves her look. Jessa Duggar "19 Kids and Counting"

#24 – The other is a go. She was on a show about religion but changed her career and apparently is in demand. Kate Stoltz "Breaking Amish"

#25 – Young Game Of Thrones actress. Sophie Turner ("Sansa Stark")

#26 – Much more well known GOT actress. Emilia Clarke ("Daenerys Targaryen")

#27 – Former almost A+ list mostly movie actress down to B+. Oh, she is a celebrity offspring too. And loves publicity. Kate Hudson

#28- Former A list Disney Tweener actress who loves publicity but has only landed parts on middling television shows. Did I tell you she loves publicity? Oh, and loves getting it via bikini.

#29 – Speaking of bikinis, this B- list actress/reality star/singer was turned down. No one wants her. They would maybe take her former bff/crap actress, but not the B- lister. Christina Milian (Karrueche Tran)

#30- This lead actress on a superhero spinoff will be there.

#31 – Disney/Nick actresses. Barely legal actress from a hit Disney show who has been a recent blind item. Two first names. Laura Marano ("Austin & Ally")

#32- The older sibling of this still on Disney Channel actress on a very hit Disney show. Vanessa Marano ("Switched At Birth" on ABC Family owned by Disney)

#34 – Back for another season is this former Tweener actress from Nick who has not done anything of note since reaching adulthood. She had her own show and was not even the "star." Victoria Justice "Victorious" ("star" Ariana Grande)

#35 – This actress is on Disney. Foreign born. Not a tweener. Heck, she is even married, but when she decides to go, which is every couple of years, she is in huge demand. She is A+ list in Bani’s world. Oh, she is Emmy nominated.

#36 – Foreign born actress who has one big network reboot to her credit. Asian.
