Posted on September 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Diana Nyad gave it an incredible shot, but the 62-year old endurance swimmer has been forced to get out of the water. Nyad was attempting to swim from Cuba to Florida, a 102-mile distance she first tried to navigate in 1978 and then again in August of this year. Diana Nyad News Report The motivational speaker’s latest effort was her best, at least, as Nyad made it about two-thirds of the way before being pulled at around 11 a.m. yesterday due to strong currents and jellyfish stings. Nyad says she grew motivated to try the Havana-to-Key-West route again after turning 60 because she wanted to feel young again. It’s an admirable idea, but she may wanna find a safer hobby.

Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger: Terrible at Matchmaking, Casting Millionaires

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We know Bravo fans are intense, but what we didn’t know was how hard many of them are turning hardcore on the Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger. When it comes to the Housewives , there are often camps. You’re on Team Bethenny or Team Jill. You’re a Camille Grammer hater or a Camille sympathizer. Okay, bad example. The point here is that peeps apparently hate Patti, and there are decreasing numbers of people on the side of the reality star each week. The Millionaire Matchmaker: Bad at matchmaking, casting millionaires . Among the main beefs with Patti Stanger, or her show, is that its premise is so ridiculous as to be offensive to reality TV fans. Yes, we’re being serious. Stanger has not found love for herself, nor is she casting actual millionaires these days. Not a single successful relationship has been depicted on the show. She is a hot mess and her staff? Well, no comment necessary. During her most recent episode, no fewer than 73 Tweets called for her firing immediately. No clue if Justin Theroux is one of those Tweeters.
