Toni Braxton doesn't play.  In a recent interview, she admits that she charges her kids rent.  Did I mention her kids are 9 and 11?! 

She explains, "I charge them rent. I give them allowance - Denim gets $15, Diezel gets $10 a week. They have to take out the trash, do all these things, but I make them pay me rent.

"Diezel pays $1, Denim pays $1.50. I swear to god, Diezel pays a 50 cents for utilities, Denim pays 25 cents for utilities, for cable... I charge them! So they give me like, $3 a week out of their allowance, I told them one day you'll have to pay rent so I'm helping you they get upset, (saying), '$3 a week mom? $3?!'"

Look, I'm all for kids learning the value of a dollar, but as parents isn't the whole "room and board" thing OUR responsibility?  Just saying.

How do you teach your kids about money and the real world?

On the KIDS making money tip, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Vivienne has just landed her first movie role.  She'll be starring along side her mother in "Maleficent".  According to TMZ, 4 year old Vivienne will be playing the role of Young Aurora.  It gets better... little Vi will be making $3,000 PER WEEK FOR THE GIG!  DANNNNG!  Kid's getting paid! 

So, how much should Brad and Angie be charging this little one for rent? lol

Side note, I'm really excited to see this movie since "Sleeping Beauty" is one of my favorite Disney movies, and Maleficent is one of my favorite Disney Villains!!
