Kim Kardashian Lashes Out at "Super Lame" Tabloid Cover

Posted on May 9, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Darn you, In Touch Weekly. You’re forcing us to take the side of Kim Kardashian. Earlier this week, the tabloid ran a cover story that claimed Kim and Kanye West were planning the ” Wedding From Hell ” because Kris Jenner keeps getting drunk and French Montana may show up as a guest. Typical tabloid fodder, right? Except the magazine also published a “photo recreation” of a woman trying to fit into a wedding dress and ran it alongside a picture of Kim crying. The obvious implication? That is Kim failing to fit into her gown! OH NO! In response to what she describes as a “super lame” gimmick, Kardashian has taken to her blog and brought attention to the pathetic headline grab. “It’s pretty unbelievable what people will do to sell a magazine… this picture says in really small print that it’s a “Photo Recreation.”  It’s not a real photo of me, but they’re implying that it is,” Kim writes. Kim Kardashian: Wedding Dress, Butt Photos Are FAKE! Is there an irony in any member of the Kardashian family calling someone else out for desperately trying to garner some attention? Of course. But still… this is super lame of In Touch Weekly. As lame as Kim Kardashian first realizing racism is an issue now and trying to garner points for blogging about it? No. But pretty darn lame nonetheless. 44 Krazy Kardashian Tabloid Kover Klaims 1. Kim Kardashian Butt Problems Oh no! Kim Kardashian’s butt won’t stop growing! What will the reality star do?

Beyonce Labeled "Anti-Feminist Terrorist" by Oddly Named Book Scholar

Posted on May 9, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Not everyone is excited about the  On the Run tour . During a panel discussion about “liberating the black female body” at the New School in New York City this week, famous literary scholar bell hooks (real name: Gloria Jean Watkins) made her feelings about Beyonce very clear. In response to a fellow panelist saying Beyonce served as an inspiration due to “owning her body and claiming that space,” hooks offered up a contrasting viewpoint. “I see a part of Beyonce that is, in fact, anti-feminist – that is a terrorist, especially in terms of the impact on young girls,” the Ain’t I a Woman? author said. “I actually feel like the major assault on feminism in our society has come from visual media and from television and videos.” Bill O’Reilly used different language recently, but made similar points regarding Beyonce. The Fox News host believes Beyonce is part of the teenage pregnancy problem and that she’s a terrible role model for young women due to her lewd music videos and racy song lyrics. Beyonce, of course, covers the Time 100 cover and is considered one of the world’s most influential people by that publication. But hooks wonders if the fascination with Beyonce doesn’t boil down to one word: MONEY. She asks: “Would we be at all interested in Beyonce if she wasn’t so rich? Because I don’t think you can separate her class, power, and the wealth from people’s fascination with her, that here is a young black woman who is so incredibly wealthy.” The self-proclaimed feminist them concludes: “Let’s say if Beyonce was a homeless woman who looked the same way, or a poor, down-and-out woman who looked the same way – would people be enchanted by her? Or is it the combination of all of those things that are at the heart of imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy?” Man. No one tell The Beygency about this. 9 Concert Moments That Make Us Bow Down Before Queen Bey 1. Beyonce Dances with Cancer Patient Beyonce brings a young cancer patient to tears in this video by making her dream come true. Prepare to be moved now.
