Season 4 of Love & Hip-Hop New York is fully casted and ready to begin filming, but contract negotiations have it a standstill. A majority of the cast (no word on who this includes just yet) skipped out on filming the trailer earlier this week, holding out until they can negotiate a larger salary than last season. They’re also demanding more control over how their scenes are edited. The cast members that did show up to film the trailer are now also holding out, realizing their castmates are thinking smart, and they too should get more money.

The cast plans to “hold out as long as necessary,” but VH1 has called “emergency meetings” with them and believe they’ll have an agreement by week’s end.

Come 2016, Times Square may have one of its most prominent stores gone with the wind. The multi-level Toys R Us flagship store’s lease will be up, and it’s unclear if they’re going to be renewing. Should they not, they’d be leaving open “one of the most valuable retail spaces in the city to hit the market in a long time,” according to the CEO of the brokerage firm Cushman & Wakefield Inc.

When Toys R Us opened there in 2000, contracts were established for an annual rent of roughly $12 million. Under current market levels, the retailer’s rent would jump to more than $50 million.

Though they surely saw right through his “disguise,” Starbucks baristas in Greenwich Village played along with Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter yesterday, going by the name “Philip.” Photographers captured the baseball star holding the cup for Phil, though it’s also possible there was just a mix-up in drinks…as their employees have been infamous for in the past.
