19 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces: Where Does Jeff Bezos Rank?

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

These celebrity divorces ran the gamut from amicable to ugly, and infamous to under the radar, but they have one thing in common: They were not cheap. At all. ( UPDATE : As of January 2019, we likely have a new #1!) 1. Donald Trump and Ivana Trump Donald Trump’s divorce from Ivana Trump cost the mogul an estimated $25 million. Given that his net worth is between $1 billion and $10 billion depending on which speech you listen to these days … he got off easy. 2. Michael Douglas and Diandra Douglas Diandra Douglas got an estimated $45 million after she split with Michael Douglas in 2000; he went on to marry Catherine Zeta-Jones … the divorce from whom is sure to be even more costly. 3. Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey split up in 2008, costing the Genesis singer and solo artiste a tidy $47 million. Yeah, those royalty checks from his light rock favorites are not small. 4. Paul McCartney and Heather Mills Paul McCartney and Heather Mills finalized their divorce in 2008 after a tumultuous split ended their marriage at four years. Mills walked away with over $48 million, a relative bargain for Sir Paul, who is the most famous, most covered (and thus, wealthiest) entertainers to ever live and still sells concert tickets for $300 a pop … to play stuff from his Wings years even. 5. James Cameron and Linda Hamilton Director James Cameron and actress Linda Hamilton settled their divorce in 1999. Cameron had to pay out $50 million. Then he made Avatar though, so he’s doing well. 6. Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer Kelsey Grammer settled with ex-wife Camille for an estimated $60 million after their divorce became one of the most surprisingly ugly on record. Not just because Kelsey Grammer had so much money that he could cut a check for $60 million … but because for that amount, he couldn’t even legally get her to STFU on Bravo. Time to get a new lawyer.

Vinny Guadagnino Breaks Silence on Jenni Farley, Ronnie Magro Drama

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When the world first learned that Jersey Shore would be returning to MTV , there were concerns that with the cast approaching middle-age, there wouldn’t be enough drama in their lives to sustain an entire season of television. Instead, the opposite has proven true, and it’s turned out that there’s more chaos and insanity in the guidos’ lives than could ever be contained in a single reality show. First, the relationship between Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley caused quite a stir on numerous occasions. Many assumed that the situation had come to a head when Jen dragged Ronnie with her car  back in June of 2018, but amazingly, these two are still trying to make their relationship work. The same can’t be said of Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews. Jenni filed for divorce from Roger back in September but the situation has only gotten uglier in the months since. Mathews has begged Jenni to take him back in public and increasingly aggressive ways. Last month, Farley filed for a restraining order against her ex after an altercation at their home became violent. Like we said, there’s been no shortage of drama for the Seaside Six these days. And we haven’t even mentioned Mike Sorrentino’s prison sentence , which is scheduled to begin next week. But through it all, Vinny Guadagnino has mostly managed to keep his nose clean and his diet keto. “I just want him to know I am here for him,” the 30-year-old shares. “We are here for him as a safety net.”  As for Farley, Vinny says he’s unconcerned about her emotional state, as he’s never met someone who’s cooler under pressure. “She’s like the exact example to follow when you have to go through something like that publicly, because she’s not impulsive; she doesn’t react on emotions, she’s like smart,” Guadagnino claims. Vinny says Jenni’s level-headed demeanor is mostly a result of the fact that she “wants the best for her children.”  As for his own transition into adulthood, Vinny says his priorities have changed considerably since he turned 30 last year. While Vinny acknowledges his decade or so of hard-partying and promiscuity — saying he “had to go through that phase” — he claims those days are far behind him. These days, Vinny says his primary goals are to “get more sleep and just add on to my new healthy lifestyle.” We’re sure he’d also like to keep the Jersey Shore revival gravy train rolling. Of course, that might have to wait until The Sitch is finished serving his time. The drama never stops with this bunch! We suppose it’s a gift and a curse, as very few reality casts have kept the audience engaged for this long. View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?

Halle Berry Addresses Accused Perverse Ex-Manager Vincent Cirrincione, “I’m Livid He Used Me”

Posted on February 3, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

  (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage) Halle Berry Breaks Silence On  Vincent Cirrincione Allegations Halle Berry is adding her thoughts to explosive news that her former manager used his Hollyweird power and her name to allegedly seduce young hopeful actresses of. Earlier this week, news broke that Vincent Cirrincione had 9 women accusing him sexual harassment. According to People, three of the women say Cirrincione presented sex as a condition for his representation, and that when they refused, he did not take them on as clients. One of the actresses also claims he masturbated in front of her in his office while acting as her manager. Several of the women were actresses of color. Halle was a known famous client of Vincent as well as Taraji P. Henson. Now Halle, his long time client is speaking out about the disgusting allegations. I’m livid that he used me, and the role model he helped me become, to lure and manipulate innocent, vulnerable women of color for his predatory actions. I’m deeply hurt and I want these woman and countless others to know I see you. I hear you. You matter. I will fight for you. Good for her. Hopefully these women will find some peace in Halle’s response. Continue reading →

Travis Scott FINALLY Breaks Silence on Kylie Jenner Pregnancy

Posted on January 6, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Travis Scott has done it at last. He has spoken out on the baby Kylie Jenner is allegedly expecting as a result of the rapper and the reality star having had unprotected sex about six or seven months ago. But did Scott actually say anything of substance? Did he reveal his baby mama’s due date? Or the gender of the impending child? Or verify his relationship with Kylie is still going strong? Or, heck, even acknowledge the 20-year old is pregnant?!? Simply put: no, no, no and no. “I don’t want to talk about that. They’re just guesses. Let them keep fishing,” Scott told Billboard this week when asked about becoming a father. Doesn’t exactly sound like someone excited to welcome a new life into the world, does it? Yes, the celebrity gossip community is “fishing” for information on Kylie’s pregnancy. But this just means various rumors are floating around; from wondering whether Jenner is Kim Kardashian’s surrogate…to whether she contemplated an abortion … to whether she’s actually already had the baby . You would think Scott or Jenner would want to clear this chatter up. To set the record straight. For whatever reason, they are remaining totally mum on the topic instead. Is this their right? Absolutely. Does it make us sound hypocritical, that we’re so often mocking Kylie for being too open with her life… and now we’re giving her a hard time for staying private? Not really. Pregnancy is a HUGE deal! With so many outlets having confirmed this news, no one is wondering any longer whether Kylie will have a baby this spring. Instead, her silence has simply caused us to wonder just why she’s being silent. She could release a brief statement and then go into hiding if she so desired. But is she simply embarrassed by her baby bump? Could she be considering adoption for the child and then pretending that she never even had it? No one knows. No one even knows if Scott and Jenner are still together or if they broke up over Christmas , as has been bantered about. For his part, Scott admitted to Billboard that he sees Kanye West “everyday,” but claimed the two never really talk about romance or parenthood. He started dating Jenner in early 2017 and she’s supposedly due in February or March. This would mean Kylie got pregnant just a couple months into the relationship, which makes us believe it was an accident. This doesn’t mean Jenner won’t love her daughter or that everything won’t turn our great in the end. But it would explain the awkwardness at play here; Scott is just 25, Kylie is just 20 – and both are focused on their careers. We somehow doubt they really want a baby right now. But she’s coming, guys. Pretty soon, in fact. So you better embrace that fact, get used to talking about it…and prepare to shower that child with all the love in your heart.

Derick Dillard Breaks Silence on TLC Firing

Posted on November 19, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Derick Dillard has something to say about his firing from TLC. Last week, the now-former Counting On star learned that the cable network wanted no part of him, not after Dillard used multiple Tweets to slam Jazz Jennings. Jennings is the 17-year anchor of I Am Jazz, a series that chronicles her life as a transgender teenager. As a supposedly dedicated and devout Christian, Dillard doesn’t support such a lifestyle… and he’s been vocal about this stance on social media. “I pity Jazz,” Dillard recently Tweeted on the topic, adding: “4 those who take advantage of him in order 2 promote their agenda, including the parents who allow these kinds of decisions 2 be made by a child.” This was not Derick’s first time going after Jennings, either. “What an oxymoron… a ‘reality’ show which follows a non-reality,” Dillard, unprompted by anything Jazz did or said, wrote in August . ‘Transgender’ is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it’s ordained by God. In response to one of the faces of Counting On going after another face of its network, TLC released the following statement on November 12: We want to let our viewers know that Derick Dillard has not participated in Counting On for months. The network has no plans to feature him in the future. We want to reiterate that Derick’s personal statements do not reflect the views of the network. TLC is proud to share the story of Jazz Jennings and her family and will continue to do so. So that was that. Following weeks of chatter that TLC was done with Dillard, executives made it official. And sides were subsequently taken on Twitter: View Slideshow: Derick Dillard Firing Prompts Applause, Outrage: Read the Responses! Now, several days later, Dillard has broken his silence over his official ousting. “Thank you to all those who have supported us and given us so many words of encouragement recently. God bless you all!” He also Tweeted a proverb yesterday: “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22)” So it sounds like Dillard is refusing to let TLC’s decision, along with its public upbraiding, bring him down. He’s quoting the bible and also another controversial reality show star to get him through this difficult time. You remember what Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson once said, don’t you? Derick apparently lives by these contradictory words; that you can find someone’s lifestyle to be sinful, yet somehow also claim you have nothing against the person living in this manner. Members of Dillard’s own family don’t exactly agree, however. “You might not agree with someone or their lifestyle but you SHOULD be compassionate and show God’s love regardless to everyone,” Amy Duggar Tweeted a couple days ago . It was clear just what – or who , we should say – she was referencing with this message. To her credit, it should be noted, Jennings hasn’t even said anything this combative in the wake of the Derick Dillard scandal. “In the face of constant ignorance and hatred I prefer to disregard negative opinions and continue moving forward with love,” she wrote shortly after Derick’s latest insult. Dillard could learn a lot about the person he thinks is an affront to God. View Slideshow: Duggar Family Members: The Official Power Rankings!

Andrea Constand: Bill Cosby Accuser Breaks Silence After Mistrial!

Posted on June 21, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

To the world’s horror, Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial ended in a mistrial , thanks to a deadlocked jury. Like, surely even Cosby’s lingering supporters were hoping for an acquittal, as if that would exonerate him by association from his 57 other accusers. The woman whose police report forced him into a courtroom, Andrea Constand, is finally speaking out. “Thank you for the outpouring of love & kindness & support,” she shared over Twitter. Honestly, she was a lot more graceful and diplomatic than we would have been in her shoes. We’d have been directing our ire at Cosby, at society, and whichever juror or, worse, jurors prevented that jury from reaching a verdict. Instead, she just expressed how much people’s support means to her. “I am eternally grateful for the messages I have received in recent days.” Andrea Constand is handling this with so much grace. Honestly, we can’t imagine the strength of character required to go public about a celebrity with Cosby’s (now former) reputation. If we were in her shoes and she put herself through reliving this nightmare for a trial only to have at least one juror unconvinced, we’d be posting a six-hour rant on YouTube that would only end when we’d had too much to drink to carry on. What else can you do in the face of massive injustice? The middle ground response would just be to say nothing and binge Law & Order instead, but so-called experts claim that “that isn’t therapy” and “isn’t a healthy coping mechanism.” But maybe one of the things helping Andrea Constand keep it together is the knowledge that the prosecutors intend to retry Cosby. Most of Cosby’s alleged victims — the ones we know about, anyway — won’t ever get to see their day in court. This is because of the statute of limitations. We can’t explain to you why any place would have a statute of limitations on sexual assault. Except for the obvious — when men have been the ones writing laws for centuries. In some parts of the US, that limit is as little as 5 years. It’s absurd. So there’s a lot riding on the trial over Andrea Constand’s assault. The retrial gives a lot of people hope — likely Andrea Constand included. Then again, Cosby still has supporters like Keshia Knight Pulliam who insist that the man they know would never do this. Constand has probably had her doubts about the trial’s success all along. You don’t want to get your hopes up, right? And there’s always a chance that Cosby could go through a dozen trials and always have one juror who’s an absolute holdout against conviction. Celebrity status is a powerful thing. And so is rape culture. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby Sex Scandal: What Led to His Arrest

Phaedra Parks Breaks Silence, Reacts to The Real Housewives of Atlanta Firing

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Phaedra Parks is ready to move on. The reality star has no real say in the matter, of course, having been fired as a cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta this week. The bombshell was dropped on fans of the franchise yesterday, following a fiery fourth installment of the show’s ninth season reunion special on Sunday evening. During the taping, Parks confessed to telling Porsha Williams that Kandi Burruss and Burruss’ husband, Todd Tucker, had planned on drugging Williams and taking her back to their place for some sex. Did she base this wild accusation on something Burruss and Tucker actually told her, as she previously claimed? Did she pass it along to Williams based on first-hand information? No, Parks finally admitted at the reunion. “I repeated it because I heard it,” Parks explained. “Something was brought to me. I just repeated it. I repeated what someone told me. I’m not saying I didn’t say it. I’m saying I repeated it.” That’s a pretty fine line. And, even for a Real Housewives storyline, it’s also a pretty insane topic to broach. As Kandi cried and insisted that Phaedra essentially accused her of rape, other cast members at the reunion sat in shock. Kenya Moore couldn’t believe that Parks could make such a reveal and then remain stone-faced, while Porsha fought back tears and replied: “Oh, Phaedra, that’s awful.” “Oh God, that’s so awful. I swear to God, Kandi, I would never ever say something like that to you if it wasn’t told to me in truth and confidence.” Parks did end up muttering an apology on set, acknowledging that she “shouldn’t have repeated it.” But Williams wasn’t having it. “I feel betrayed … and completely taken advantage of,” she said, adding on stage: “[Our friendship] was a lie and I was the pawn used to hurt Kandi. I don’t know if I’ll be able to move past this.” In the end, producers weren’t able to move past the rape allegations. According to TMZ, they gave Parks her walking papers shortly after this explosive reunion special aired on Bravo. You can use the video below to watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online and see this utter craziness go down: Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 24 Online How is Parks feeling about the ordeal? What does she have planned next? We can’t say for certain, but the controversial star shared the following message on Instagram in the wake of this scandal. “New day, new week! Have a magnificent #Monday! #letsgo,” Parks  wrote alongside the poster below, which read: “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.” In other words: The past is the past and Parks is ready to see what the future has in store for her. Toward the end of the reunion, host Andy Cohen put Parks in her place, telling her directly: “You got caught in a megawatt lie. I don’t know that you’ve completely copped to it.” She apologized again at this point, adding: “I’m sorry that it hurt Kandi as well.” Speaking later to Us Weekly, Cohen expressed surprise that Parks was so calm about the incident. She didn’t express much remorse or emotion on stage. “She seemed kind of withdrawn about it,” Cohen told the tabloid. The Watch What Happens Live also said he’s “spoken a few times” with Parks since the reunion taping, but “I don’t get the sense that she has [talked to the other Housewives].” This is not shocking. View Slideshow: 17 Stars Who Really Love the Real Housewives As for whether she can repair her friendships, Cohen has his doubts. “It seems a little precarious,” he says. We agree. Once you accuse a friend of planning to drug and rape another friend, there’s almost never any going back from that.

Billie Lourd Breaks Silence, Thanks Fans for Well Wishes

Posted on January 2, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Billie Lourd has spoken out for the first time since the death of her mother. And her grandmother. The child of Carrie Fisher, Lourd stunningly and tragically lost both loved ones over the course of 24 hours last week; first when Fisher passed away from a heart attack and then when  Reynolds died from a stroke . It was a shocking and heartbreaking turn of events. Fans have been sending their condolences to Lourd ever since, wishing all the best to the Scream Queens 2 star in this impossibly challenging time period. And now Lourd has acknowledges their messages. “Receiving all of your prayers and kind words over the past week has given me strength during a time I thought strength could not exist,” Lourd wrote on Instagram. She added: “There are no words to express how much I will miss my Abadaba and my own and only Momby. Your love and support means the world to me.” As you can see below, Lourd included a photo of herself as a child with the post. It also features younger versions of Fisher and Reynolds: At 60 years old, Fisher, died unexpectedly on December 27, four days after suffering a heart attack on board an airplane. Reynolds, her 84-year-old mother, proceeded to pass away the next day after suffering a reported stroke. According to Reynolds’ son, the veteran actress said she wanted to be “with Carrie” just prior to passing away. The 24-year-old Lourd, whose father is Hollywood agent Bryan Lourd, appeared opposite her mother in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. She is not a household name, but all of Hollywood and everyone on Twitter has had Lourd in their thoughts and prayers in the days since these terrible events. View Slideshow: Billie Lourd Photos: Who is Carrie Fisher’s Daughter? On December 12, Lourd appeared opposite Seth Meyers and talked about life as the daughter of an icon. She told the talk show that that Fisher and Reynolds originally attempted to dissuade Billie from pursuing acting, yet were overwhelmingly proud of her accomplishments after she decided to take this path. The young star even said at the time that Reynolds offered a suggestion for how Lourd should be referred to in Hollywood. “She gets really upset when I get called ‘Carrie Fisher’s daughter,’” Lourd told Meyers. “She wants people to call me ‘Debbie Reynolds’ granddaughter.’ It’s very offensive to her. She does not like to be cut out — not at all.” Great stuff. Also: sad, sad, sad stuff. Over the past week or so, a great number of of Lourd’s Scream Queens costars have reached out via social media to send their support. Here’s a look at what celebrities have said in the wake of Fisher’s death: View Slideshow: Carrie Fisher: Mourned, Honored by Hollywood As previously reported, Fisher and Reynolds will be mourned at a joint funeral later this week. We continue to send our condolences to Lourd and everyone else so closely touched by these tragic passings.

Scott Disick Breaks Silence on Kourtney Kardashian Split: Gotta Stay Positive!

Posted on July 26, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Scott Disick has finally opened up, albeit briefly, for the first time since his infamous breakup from longtime partner Kourtney Kardashian. What did he have to say about his current state? While hosting a bash at 1OAK Nightclub in Las Vegas Friday, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star addressed the elephant in the room. “[I’m] just taking it one day at a time,” he told the media on the red carpet. “With everything going on right now, I need to be positive for myself.” Disick, 32, stuck with a bottle of water, was constantly on his phone, and kept his distance from female fans while he hung out at his VIP table. He was joined by Love and Hip Hop Hollywood’s Mally Mall, who was also involved in that scandalous ” music video shoot ” at Scott’s house. ” Scott was rather disconnected once he got into the club,” a witness says. “Typically a very verbal and outrageous host, [he] was rather restrained.” Disick, who canceled his previous two club appearances, was absolutely roasted on Twitter when he announced his return to the club circuit. Earlier this week, Disick met up with Kardashian, 36, and the couple’s daughter Penelope at the Beverly Hills Hotel for the first time post-split. Kardashian still wants Disick to have a relationship with his offspring, but she’s in the process of seeking sole custody of their three children. As for whether there is still any hope for Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick , that seems very unlikely after the whole Chloe Bartoli situation.

Scott Disick Breaks Silence, Invites Fans to "Come Party" in Las Vegas

Posted on July 8, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick broke up after nine years of dating this week. Then, in response, each half of the former couple went out and pretty much proved why they don’t belong with the other. As previously reported, Kourtney spent time with her sisters , enjoying a family workout and a family dinner. Disick? He invited folks to get drunk and crazy and party with him in Las Vegas. In a classically insensitive social media shout-out, Disick shared an image via Instagram late Tuesday, advertising his club night at 1OAK in Las Vegas this Friday. The poster urges his followers to “Come party with me this Friday in Vegas.” Disick, of course, has long been criticized for his excessive drinking. He spent a few days last week in France, getting way to cozy with ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli and, according to one report, going on a bender with underage girls . With three kids at home, and having just been dumped by their mother, Disick wasn’t exactly met with an enthusiastic response upon posting this invitation. “Go home to Ur kids fool if it was for kourt U wud b a nobody!!!,” wrote one Instagram user, while another jumped in with: “You should get your sorry ass home and be a good papi to them beautiful kids you have.” View Slideshow: 12 Times Scott Disick Was a Total Douche
