Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Oct 10, 2017

Scams and Charlatans:

Bet she didn't see this coming. A Florida psychic has been found guilty of tax evasion.
Prosecutors say 41-year-old SALLY ANN JOHNSON charged for "psychic readings" and "spiritual cleansing and strengthening." In fact, one customer shelled out over $3.5-million dollars for Johnson's services, which included ridding the woman of "demons." But, authorities say Johnson failed to report her earnings and even tried to hide the money to avoid paying taxes.
Johnson pleaded guilty in federal court last week and agreed to repay the woman. She'll be sentenced in January. (Still)

Fashion Emergency:

EMMA STONE is the new face of Louis Vuitton. The Hollywood Reportersays the Oscar-winning actress joins JADEN SMITH, SOPHIE TURNER and fellow Oscar-winner ALICIA VIKANDER in striking poses for the luxury brand. Stone kicked off her new gig by showing up on the red carpet in an off-the-runway spring 2018 gown at the London premiere of "Battle of the Sexes" on Saturday. (Bartha)

On, off and way-off-Broadway:

A stage musical is in the works about the late British singer, AMY WINEHOUSE. The UK newspaper The Sun says her father, MITCH, wants to tell Amy's life story, with a focus on her music. He said (quote), "It would be for the West End. We want to do something that remembers Amy for what she was, there's so much more to her than just the drugs and the alcohol." (Marino)
