Posted on June 22, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Dan MacMedan / Getty Mary J. Blige will be seeing ghosts in her next movie project. According to Variety , he Mudbound star has just signed on for the new flick Body Cam. It’s a horror-thriller that tells the story of several LAPD officers who are haunted by a malevolent spirit. Their haunting is tied to the murder of a Black kid by two White police officers — all of which was captured on body cam footage that was destroyed in a cover-up. Mary J. will play a police officer who starts to see visions and investigates the cover-up. Malik Vitthal , who directed the John Boyega- led Imperial Dreams , is set to direct Body Cam , while the script has gone through rewrites from John Ridley ( 12 Years A Slave ) and Nick McCarthy from a script originally penned by Richmond Riedel. The Get Out -esque movie could be another big move for Mary J. Blige following her Oscar nomination for her role in Mudbound.  Along with Body Cam , she’ll also be starring in the Netflix show The Umbrella Academy.  Seems like M.J. is taking on the industry full steam and we’re totally here for it!

16 Stars Who Really, REALLY Hate the Kardashians

Posted on June 10, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We're living in very frightening times, people. Due to the threat of nuclear war, terrorism and Donald Trump as President? Yes, but that's not really applicable in this case. Instead, we're referring at the moment to a culture that has embraced Kim Kardashian and her family to such an extent that they make millions and millions of dollars per year. Many big names have spoken out against the famous family in recent times, including President Barack Obama, but Naomi Watts summed up our feelings very well in a May 2015 interview with Australian InStyle. “There’s so much focus on celebrity these days; we’re in the Kardashian era and it’s slightly scary,” said the Oscar nominee. Do you agree? Scroll down for a look at Watts and other celebrities who won't be sending the Kardashians a Christmas card any time soon… 1. Naomi Watts Naomi Watts wore Armani Privé with Bulgari jewels to the 88th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on February 28, 2016 in Hollywood, California. 2. Barack Obama Barack Obama has reportedly banned all of the Kardashian reality shows from the White House and said in a speech that Kim and Kanye are examples of how a celebrity-obsessed culture is bad for our children. 3. Cher Cher has Tweeted that the Kardashians are “bitches” who should be “drop kicked down the freeway.” She made a point of saying she is NOT kidding. 4. Kelly Cutrone The author and fashion guru says there’s not “one person who really works in the fashion industry who gives a flying f-ck about Kanye West.” She also says Kim isn’t doing anything “fresh” in the fashion world. 5. Reese Witherspoon Says Reese Witherspoon at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards: “When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed and if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you hid your face.” Hmmm… Who could she have been referencing? 6. Jon Hamm Jon Hamm once called Kim Kardashian a “f-cking idiot.” But how does he REALLY feel about her? View Slideshow

Back To Court: Sherri Shepherd Is Still Fighting Maternity Ruling In $4600 A Month Child Support Case

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sherri Shepherd Appeals Maternity Ruling For Surrogate Baby Even though she’s currently coughing up $4,600 a month for her surrogate child with ex-husband Lamar Sally, Sherri Shepherd still insists that she shares no kinship with the baby . The comedienne is currently appealing the decision made by Pennsylvania Superior Court, deeming her the legal mother of the son she and Lamar had by surrogate mother and donated egg — and ordering her to pay up nearly $5k for the child’s well being. Via E!online : Sherri Shepherd and Lamar Sally’s surrogacy legal battle continues. A judge ruled in April that she is the legal mother of her and Lamar’s baby, Lamar Sally Jr., who was born via surrogate and was already on the way when she and Lamar split up. But now the former The View host is asking the Pennsylvania Supreme court to reverse the decision made by the Superior Court. Shepherd is arguing that the lower court didn’t have a right to declare her the mother, as Pennsylvania law requires parentage to be established by “genetics/biology or by adoption,” according to legal documents obtained by E! News. If you’ll recall, the egg used to create little Lamar Jr. didn’t come from Sherri, and a surrogate carried the baby to term. By that logic, Sherri feels that she was ruled as the child’d mother unfairly. But she says in the meantime, she’s focusing on the child she does claim… Shepherd previously opened up to People about her surrogacy legal battle and the lower court’s decision. “I am appealing the ruling that happened and he gets his settlement every month,” she said of her ex-husband. “He’s happy. There nothing I can do. It’s out of my hands. You move on and I have a son. I have to take care of him so everything is good.” Well the courts have already spoken their piece once…do you think Sherri should keep cutting checks, or is she right to try to have the ruling overturned?

Poor Thang: Sherri Shepherd’s Life Is In Shambles After Messy Divorce, Two Custody Battles & Getting Fired From ‘The View’

Posted on July 18, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sherri ’s life is in shambles! Sherri Shepherd Headed For A Mental Breakdown After Divorce And Custody Battles Departing “View” star Sherri Shepherd is under such tremendous stress that friends fear she’s headed for a devastating collapse. The TV star’s life has unraveled on all fronts – from a messy divorce and two custody battles to getting axed from her show and giving up her dream home. Via National Enquirer reports: “Sherri is on the verge of a breakdown,” a worried friend told The ENQUIRER . “What’s happening to her is too much for any one person to bear. She has serious health issues and we’re afraid she’s going to collapse under the strain.” The 47-year-old performer was diagnosed in 2007 with Type 2 diabetes, the same disease that claimed her mother LaVerne’s life when she was only 41. A frightened Sherri dropped 40 pounds to cope with the condition. But in the past three months, she’s been hammered by a series of neverending crises. In May, her husband of nearly three years, writer Lamar Sally, filed for separation in California, and just two weeks later, Sherri fired back with her own divorce petition, filed in New Jersey, where the couple made their home. Making the split even more painful, the warring couple are expecting the birth of a son from a surrogate mother in late July, and Sherri plans to battle in order NOT to be named the child’s mother – because she now believes she is not the biological mother! Meanwhile, the embattled entertainer faces another heartbreaking custody challenge – her ex-husband, Jeff Tarpley, is seeking full custody of the couple’s 9-year-old son, Jeffrey, from their eight-year marriage. As her world collapsed around her, Sherri was told her contract as a co-host on “The View” wouldn’t be renewed when it expires in August after seven years. “Sherri’s life is in shambles – we pray she’ll make it through,” said the source. We hope Sherri can recover from all these hurdles and get her life back in order!

Justin Timberlake to Host the Oscars?

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s happening. The news cycle is about to lap itself. The 85th Annual Academy Awards have barely ended, and no good movies have even come out yet this year, but rumors are already circling about who will host next year’s ceremony. The good news is: the rumors are about Justin Timberlake ! According to our friends at Movie Fanatic, Timberlake may host the Oscars next year. While the JT hosting rumor is just that, a rumor, it makes perfect sense. I mean, JT is one of the least divisive celebrities out there. His publicists should win a “Pubby” for making him so universally beloved. Not to mention, we know that the talented actor/musician can handle hosting live TV. Just this Month JT made his fifth appearance hosting Saturday Night Live . Timberlake is the kind of person who could easily become a perennial Oscar Host a la Bob Hope or Billy Crystal. What do you think? Is JT cut out to host the Oscars?   Yes, what a great choice! No, he should stick to singing! View Poll »
