Farrah Abraham Refuses to Be Screwed… by Celebrity Boxing Promoter

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For one of the first times in her life, Farrah Abraham refuses to be screwed. The former Teen Mom OG star, who was fired by MTV back in February due to her prominent amateur pornography career, has spent the last several weeks promoting her upcoming boxing match. Yes, we’re serious: Farrah Abraham was going to get inside of a ring and participate in an actuak boxing match. Her opponent was going to be  Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander , who is an actual person best known for appearing on VH1 reality shows Flavor of Love and I Love Money. The brawl was going to go down on November 10 in Atlantic City and at least a few dozen people were likely going to be in attendance. But they can now make alternate plans. Because Abraham tells TMZ the fight is off. Why would Abraham do something she never asked her sex tape co-stars to do, pull out? According to insiders, the event’s promoter, Damon Feldman, had agreed to foot the hotel, travel and fight bills for basically everyone Farrah has ever met. Feldman specifically promised Abraham he could cover her over 32 hotel rooms, six plane tickets and around 25 fight tickets. Why did Farrah need so 32 hotel rooms when she apparently only needed six people flown in for the match? It’s unclear. But TMZ writes that Feldman backed out of his end of the deal this week… … and Abraham, who knows a thing or two about back ends, responded by dropping out of the barely-anticipated event. If the promoter cannot cover these expenses for her and her loved ones, Abraham says she will not fight. Naturally, there are two sides to this story, however — and Feldman tells the aforementioned website that he nver agreed contractually to any of the flight or hotel fees mentioned above. Conversely, he says Farrah has agreed on paper to take part in the match, and that she’ll be in major legal trouble if she backs out. Neither Farrah nor her manager, David Weintraub, have responded to inquiries about this topic. Nor have they commented on Feldman’s allegation that Abraham started making crazy demands just this week and only claimed she’s pulling out after they weren’t met. With, like, 37 or 38 people probably a little bit excited for the bout, let’s hope it takes place. Or not. We don’t really care one way or the other. Do you?!?!?!?

Alec Baldwin Punches Guy in Face Over Parking Spot, Gets Arrested

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Alec Baldwin has spent the past two years or so punching back at Donald Trump by portraying the President on Saturday Night Live. But now the actor has been arrested for a different sort of punch back. As in: Baldwin has been arrested for punching some dude in the face. According to TMZ and NBC News, the veteran actor got into an altercation with his alleged unnamed victim around 10th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City on Friday. Insiders tell the aforementioned celebrity gossip website that Baldwin had a friend holding a parking spot for him… … but that this other fella dared to swoop in and take it. (It’s unclear at the moment just how the friend was holding the spot for Baldwin.) Baldwin took exception to what he saw as a parking spot heist, screamed at the perpetrator and then slugged him in the face. The victim, reportedly a 49-year old male, was then taken to a nearby hospital. And Baldwin was placed under arrest. The actor lives in the area and has a well-earned reputation for being a hothead. The only real surprise in this story is that the man on the receiving end of Baldwin’s fist was not a photographer. Over the past few years, Alec has mixed it up several times with paparazzi members in the streets of the Big Apple. He was arrested in May of 2014 for confronting a police officer… … he verbally abused a Daily Mail writer the year before . … and he hurled gay slurs at a different photographer in between these incidents, stirring up understandable controversy and drama in the process. Accompanied by his wife and his daughter during this latter confrontation, which took place almost exactly four years ago, Baldwin referred to his then-nemesis as a “c-cksucking f-g.” It was a very low moment for the outspoken Liberal. He apologized afterward and has remained relatively calm ever since. Until now, that is. Not long after news of Baldwin’s arrest went public, President Trump was asked about the incident and showed surprising restraint by responding with a simple: “I wish him luck.” Neither Baldwin nor anyone on his team has spoken out yet about the arrest. The actor has four children under the age of five with his wife Hilaria, as well as an adult daughter with first wife, Kim Basinger. He once labeled that daughter, Ireland, as a “pig” in an infamous voicemail he left for her as a child. But Ireland and her dad have since made up and the former has even defended her dad on Twitter, saying he deserved credit for dealing with what she called “anger management issues.” He may now need to have that credit revoked, however.

TO FREEDOM! Black Pennsylvania Man Acquitted Of Admittedly Killing Racist White Guy

Posted on October 8, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image via Michael Krinke/Getty Black Man Acquitted For Admitted Killing Racist White Man Here’s a story you don’t hear everyday, a Black man getting away scot free with murdering a white man after openly admitting he did it. According to WNEP , 30-year-old Stephen Spencer was shooting pool with some local folk back in July 2017 in his hometown of Pittston, Pennsylvania. After he successfully whooped some white guy a$$, he did the gentlemanly thing and extended a handshake to the aforementioned whooped a$$. Thing is, the whooped a$$ belonging to 32-year-old Christopher Williams wasn’t interesting in sportsmanship. It’s not totally clear what happened next, but a kerfuffle of some sort ensued, and the melanin-deficient whooped a$$ and his friends allegedly spouted off some racist epithets at Spencer. Once the fight went outside, Spencer started swingin’ that iron and shot Williams dead in front of everyone. When police arrived, Spencer didn’t even try to hide it. He told officers, “Here is the gun. I shot him.” Fast forward to this past Friday, Spencer was acquitted of homicide, aggravated assault and terroristic threats by a jury of his peers after only four hours of deliberation according to the Times Leader . It was determined that Spencer was only acting in self-defense against the handful of racist men who planning to attack him. Let this be a lesson to racists all around the country, if you and your homies get killed for calling people n-words in Pittston, Pennsylvania, that’s just the way it is.

Porsha Williams: Engaged to Her Baby Daddy!

Posted on October 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Porsha Williams admitted a few weeks ago that she’s pregnant and scared . But at least the veteran Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member will not be pregnant, scared and alone . Quite the opposite, in fact, as Williams announced something pretty exciting via Instagram on Monday morning… … she’s ENGAGED! “I said YES….,” Porsha wrote as a caption to the Instagram image above, later adding: Matter of fact I said HELL YESSSS lol !! Love you baby #DM. I’m ready for the rest of our life! Photo: @the_treeves ring by: @richierichny Leon Diamond. Indeed, Williams has agreed to marry boyfriend Dennis McKinley not long after announcing to the world that the couple is expecting its first child. How did the proposal transpire? The long-time Bravo personality was very happy to provide People Magazine with the details. “Dennis rented out a venue and took Porsha via helicopter there,” her rep told the aforementioned publication , adding that there were “candles and rose petals everywhere.” Sounds so romantic! But it actually got even better and more unique from there. The singer Lil’ Mo stunned Porsha by singing her favorite song, “4 Ever.” And then Williams and McKinley threw a “prayer party” for their impending child. “After they were officially engaged, they threw a Prayer party for Baby McKinley,” said this rep, adding: She doesn’t want any focus on the ring etc. but it’s huge and gorgeous! “Dennis had videographer & photographer and has been working on the proposal for two months.” It may not be all about the ring for Porsha Williams, but here is that ring! Williams is 37 years old and could not be more excited to be a mother in a few months time. But she has confessed to having a few concerns over such a late-in-life pregnancy. “I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy,” she said back in mid-September. The miscarriage took place six years ago and Porsha says this development is a “dream come true,” expounding as follows to People: “The thought of me getting that blessing after praying for it for so long and getting that blessing with someone who is just as excited as me – it’s Dennis’ first child, just like me – and it’s something we’ve both always wanted.” She and her now-fiance have known each other for years, but only started dating this year. Williams was previously married to former NFL quarterback Kordell Stewart, splitting in 2013 after two years of a somewhat contentious marriage. Season 11 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, meanwhile, is expected to premiere on Bravo late this fall.

Frankie Conti: Just Who is Kendra Wilkinson’s New Man?

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kendra Wilkinson has reportedly found the new d-ck for which she’s been searching. About five months after filing for divorce from Hank Baskett , the former Playmate has reportedly gotten involved with some new guy named Frankie Conti. He’s the first person she’s dated since being single again, prompting many fans to ask the following: Is this relationship serious? Or is this merely a post-split rebound type of situation? Conti, according to E! News, a “young marketing manager” who met Wilkinson at a charity golf tournament in July. The two new lovers allegedly “hit it off immediately,” a source tells the aforementioned outlet. This same source says the So far, the relationship is “very new and casual, but they have been spending time together and going on dates recently.” Instagram followers are wondering just how casual it actually is, however, based on Kendra’s caption to the photos above and below. Posted six days ago, it reads: Today was a good day. Truly smiled. Hope you all had a good day too. Love you. Did she just drop the L Bomb in a message to Conti? Or is she addressing her supporters with these encouraging and positive words? Us Weekly, meanwhile, also writes that Kendra is getting it on these days with Conti, quoting an insider of its own who has the following to say about the romance: “They have been hanging out and spending time with each other. Kendra likes Frank because he is attentive and listens to her. It’s been refreshing to have someone light and fun in her life.” Taken off his Facebook page, here is a photo of Frankie Conti: Kendra, for her part, has been very open since her divorce. She’s made it clear via a number of social media posts that she’s a tad sad and a little bit lost . “Been trying to take care of myself lately,” she told her followers this summer, admitting that her “mental, emotional and physical well being” could all use some assistance. She also clarified on numerous occasions, though, that her two kids always “come first” and that she’s grateful she’s been able to spend so much time with them of late. The 33-year-old Girls Next Door alum split from her husband of nearly nine years earlier this year because the stars were unable to fully repair their relationship after Baskett admitted to an affair back in 2014. It was an unusual affair. It involved Baskett getting a hand job from a transgender model he briefly met in a hotel room after he stopped by there to buy some marijuana. The couple’s struggles were featured on multiple seasons of the reality show Kendra On Top and the exes share 8-year-old son Hank IV and 4-year-old daughter Alijah. The mother of two got candid in August about her post-divorce problems, as documented below. “Just when I think I’m healed, I start to cry. Sorry I’m not a perfect person. I’m really sorry,” she explained on Instagram. Click around here to see what else she had to say at the time: View Slideshow: Kendra Wilkinson Bawls Over Divorce, Cries Out: I’m Not Perfect, Okay?!?

Megyn Kelly is Trying Really Hard to Be Relevant Again

Posted on September 24, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Remember when Megyn Kelly introduced herself to NBC viewers by saying she would not discuss politics as the host of Megyn Kelly Today? Hmmm… perhaps we ought to back up a bit and first ask instead: Remember Megyn Kelly?!? The former Fox News anchor made headlines on a near-daily basis back during her time as a host on that network. She even hosted a debate between Donald Trump and the pathetic politicians he managed to beat out for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016! Kelly was a relevant member of the press, that's our point here. Then, she left Fox News for NBC… stirred up quite a bit of controversy with her arrival … landed her own hour on The Today Show… and tried to become a Kelly Ripa-like television presence. Kelly was suddenly all nice and normal and tried to be the woman next door who just has a few kids and a husband at home and who wants to gab about the latest fashion trends, as opposed to the latest political happenings. Then her ratings tanked. Then she interview Alex Jones (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!). And now she's irrelevant.  This brings us to Monday morning and Kelly's return to the political arena, as she hosted a round table discussion with NBC's Hallie Jackson, PBS' Amy Holmes and Rolling Stone contributing editor Joe Levy. The topic at hand? Embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the multiple accusations of sexual misconduct that have been made against him over the past several days. “What a mess, that's a clean version of what I was thinking in my head,” Kelly said at the top of the conversation, later making it clear that she's on Team Kavanaugh and adding she has no idea why Democrats would push for the FBI to investigate the aforementioned allegations. “[The FBI's] not a super-secret special police force to investigate super-secret really bad things the nominee may have done. That's why we have congressional investigators,” she said. “The Republicans actually are investigating the Christine Blasey Ford allegations and the Democrats have refused to do so! “They're standing there in protest saying the FBI needs to do it, which doesn't really help us.” Two quick things here: Isn't the FBI precisely a special type of police force whose mission is to get to the bottom of confusing and complicated cases of national importance? The FBI did investigate Anita Hill's claims in 1991 than then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her. Later in this segment, Kelly cuts off a panelist and emphasizes: “He's saying he didn’t do it. He's not saying that those allegations against him amount to nothing if he did! He's saying he didn’t do it!” Oh, well, that changes everything. If Kavanaugh is saying he didn't do something… why is this even a debate? Watch the heated exchange now!

Ryan and Mackenzie Edwards to MTV: Suck It! We Quit!

Posted on July 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Teen Mom OG continues to undergo a massive cast overhaul. In the most stunning news of the week, Bristol Palin confirmed that she’s coming on board Season 8 of this long-running MTV franchise. And now Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Edwards have their own statement to make… … they will NOT be interacting with Palin when new episodes premiere later this year. For what reason? Because the couple is leaving Teen Mom OG behind. But not before hurling producers far under the bus first. Following weeks’ worth of rumors about their status on the series — Would Ryan step away to focus on rehab ? Did Palin’s addition force Ryan out ? — the couple released a statement to E! News that shot down all of this chatter. In doing so, Mackenzie and Ryan made it clear they are finished filming… while doing all they could to paint the show in a negative light. “We’re not returning to Teen Mom this season. The network told us they don’t want to show Ryan as a recovering addict,” Mackenzie told E! , making a rather scathing accusation. She wasn’t done making it, either: “But they did want to enter a contract with our unborn baby and have the baby film with Ryan’s parents so it would look like someone else is raising it.” Uhhhh, excuse you?!? Mackenzie is pregnant with the twosome’s first child, this much is true. However, she’s really claiming here that producers were hoping JUST the baby, and not its parents, would appear on Season 8?!? Wow. Ryan, who has wrestled with substance abuse for nearly as long he’s been in the spotlight and who was arrested earlier this year for heroin possession, also talked to the aforementioned outlet. The ex-husband of star Maci Bookout, with whom he shares a son named Bentley, Edwards argues that executives refused to let him stand on his own. He alleges they only wanted him to appear again on Teen Mom OG under the condition that Bookout essentially speak for him. And he was not having that. Not when his ex has laid down her version of the law to him. “They also want to take Maci’s word on how I’m doing,” Ryan says. “Maci’s said she’s not going to film unless I enter rehab again and quit the show. “But I’m sober.” Mackenzie went on to explain that the couple was told Teen Mom OG is trying to recreate the dramatic magic of Teen Mom 2. “I know they did want five girls to begin with after Farrah [Abraham] left to sort of resemble Teen Mom 2,” she says, adding: “But they didn’t want to see another recovering addict storyline. So they’re writing us out of the show right now and making it seem like we dipped out on our baby, on Bentley and on everyone. “And that’s just not the case.” As for other details of their departure? “The show had been paying for my healthcare and for the baby so they could film the visits and then a week ago they let me know that would no longer be the case,” Mackenzie tells E! News. “They’re not going to film the birth. We’re not going to be on at all. Maci can’t speak to Ryan and Ryan can’t speak to Maci – that was a mutual decision. “But she doesn’t know what’s going on in our lives.” View Slideshow: Mackenzie Standifer Opens Up: Will She Divorce Ryan Edwards?! Mackenzie says she and Ryan are finished with the program, even if producers approached them down the line to return. Neither wife nor husband says their decision has anything at all to do with Bristol Palin, who has said the following about her addition to the cast: “I am excited to join MTV’s Teen Mom OG. I look forward to sharing my experiences and hope that I can help others on their journey.” Will she actually help viewers? That remains to be seen. But we’ll be tuning in each week to find out, that’s for sure! View Slideshow: Bristol Palin Confirms Teen Mom OG News: This is Why I’m Joining… UPDATE : This is what Ryan wrote on Instagram Friday in regard to his sobriety… Don’t take everything you see on MTV as factual truth. They don’t want to show me or Mack in a happy light or that I am active in my recovery. I AM. They want me to look angry, passive aggressive and uncaring regarding things that mean the most to me. I’m done taking their shit and letting the world believe this by standing up for myself. You’re believing a lie. And soon… very very soon, you WILL see the TRUTH behind the .

Anthony Anderson Responds to Allegation of Assault

Posted on July 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Anthony Anderson is under criminal investigation. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that it received a report against the Black-ish star, with The Blast writing that Anderson is accused of assaulting a woman last year after an event she catered for him. Inside tell the aforementioned website that the unnamed victum met with Anderson a second time after the event to discuss future opportunities. This is supposedly when the assault took place, although no other details are really known about it at this time Sources tell The Blast that the woman reported the incident months after it allegedly happened, as she was inspired by the #MeToo movement to finally speak out. “We have a crime report listing him as a suspect in a crime. It is an open investigation,” the LAPD has simply said in response to this story. A spokesperson for the star, meanwhile, has issued a statement on Anderson’s behalf. It reads as follows: “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report, whether it is true or false. “The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim. Back in 2004, Anderson and assistant director Wayne Witherspoon were accused of raping an extra on the set of the 2004 film “Hustle & Flow.” However, the charges were later dropped when the judge ruled that there was no probable cause to try the case. This has no practical bearing on the latest charges, we’re just reporting a few facts. Anderson was just nominated his fourth Emmy Award for his portrayal of Andre Johnson, the patriarch on the ABC sitcom Black-ish. He is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this year, as well. On the small screen, Anderson’s resume includes appearance and/or starring roles on Guys with Kids, Treme, Psych, Shameless and The Shield. On the big screen, he has had roles in The Departed (2006), Kangaroo Jack (2003) and Transformers (2007) and Scream 4 (2011). Anderson is married with two kids. We’ll have more on this story if/when news breaks.

Tina Turner’s Oldest Son Commits Suicide

Posted on July 4, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Terrible news today out of the music world: Tina Turner’s oldest son, Craig, was found dead at his home in Studio City, California at 12:58 p.m. this afternoon. He was 59 years old. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has confirmed this tragedy, telling multiple outlets that Craig was discovered with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities reportedly arrived at his residence just after noon and pronounced him dead just a short while later, at the scene. The aforementioned spokesperson told the press that a 911 call was placed, although it’s unclear just who made the call. Says the spokesperson in a little more detail: “The call was reported as a suicide, gun shot wound. The next of kin has been notified. There will be an autopsy done and there is an investigator at the scene.” Craig was born when Tina was 18 years old, prior to her up-and-down marriage Ike Turner. Once Tina and Ike were husband and wife, however, Ike adopted four-year old Craig. (His biological father was a saxophonist named Raymond Hill, who performed with Ike’s band.) This awful piece of news of comes as the legendary artist is making a rare trip outside her new home country of Switzerland to attend Paris Fashion Week events. Craig Turner worked in the real estate business in the San Fernando Valley. His mother is, simply put, one of the most successful and respected solo singers in history. She counts “What’s Love Got to Do With it” and “Proud Mary” among her best-known singles. Tina also starred in such movies as Mad Max: Thunderdome and Last Action Hero. Craig’s suicide, meanwhile, follows a sad rash of similar events around the entertainment world. Over the past few weeks alone, iconic fashiond designer Kate Spade has committed suicide, while beloved chef and author Anthony Bourdain has done the same. Both these stars took their own lives via hanging. Spade was 56 years old and Bourdain was 61. May they rest in peace and may Craig Turner rest in peace. Our thoughts go out to Tina and all of her loved ones. View Slideshow: 28 Stars Who Committed Suicide

Scott Disick and Sofia Richie: We’re Roommates!

Posted on July 4, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

According to a new report, Scott Disick and Sofia Richie are living in sin. How so? By living with each other! Indeed, about one month after rumors of a Disick-Richie break-up ran rampant around the Internet, sources now tell Us Weekly that the couple isn’t just going strong… … it’s taken a major step in a very serious direction. “Scott and Sofia are moving in together ,” a source tells this tabloid very simply in its latest issue, adding of the arrangement:. “She’ll move into his house.” The decision to shack up follows a lot of chatter about Richie ending this romance after Disick allegedly cheated on Sofia in Miami this spring. Scott was also seen getting very close and awfully cozy with a mystery woman at Kanye West’s Ye album listening party in Wyoming on May 31. Classic Scott Disick, right? That’s what Kourtney Kardashian would say. Still, despite the widely held belief that Disick was sticking his penis into at least one other woman just a little while back, many people close to the situation had a feeling Richie wouldn’t be able to walk away. We guess she knew what she was getting into when she started dating Disick, right? “It’s likely not totally over,” an insider told People Magazine of Richie and Disick in early June, right around the time of their alleged split , adding: “They’ve broken up multiple times since they started dating and always ended up back together. No one would be surprised if they’re out again together in a few days or weeks.” Well, sure, right? Who can resist the… charm of Scott Disick? The rugged handsomeness of Scott Disick? The ability of Scott Disick to drink a lot of alcohol in one night? We really have no idea at this point. Following the news of Disick’s supposed indiscretions, a confidant revealed that Richie confided in her famous father, Lionel Richie. And how did the veteran singer respond? Us Weekly writes that he threatened “to cut her off and write her out of his will if she continues her relationship with Scott as he thinks he’s extremely toxic for her.” It now sounds as if Richie is willing to call this bluff. Disick, of course, shares three kids with Kardashian: Mason, 8, Penelope, 6, and Reign, 3. How does Kourtney feel about her ex-boyfriend’s new living situation? “She couldn’t be bothered by the drama,” says this first source. “She just cares about the kids and that they’re OK with the situation, which they are.” It also helps that Kourtney is on vacation at the moment as well. And by the looks of things, she has every reason not to care at all about what Scott is doing. Because look at who Kourtney is doing: Nice catch there, Kourt. Go ahead and suck a large one, Scott.
