Demi Lovato’s Father Passes Away

Posted on June 23, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Demi Lovato’s estranged father, Patrick Lovato, has died. No details about the death are available, but her sister, Dallas Lovato, broke the news over Twitter, writing simply, “Rest in peace daddy I love you.” Demi Lovato wasn’t close to her dad, to put it mildly. She stated a few years ago that she had no interest in developing a relationship with her dad, who she wrote “For the Love of a Daughter” about. This was reportedly prompted by interviews given by her estranged dad to benefit from his daughter’s fame, rather than being the father she needed. Given that Lovato suffered from eating disorders and self-mutilation of her wrists to cope with insecurity and depression, one can see her frustration. Just the same, we can’t imagine how hard this is on her and we hope the family is banding together during what can only be a terrible difficult time. We don’t know the status of their relationship in the recent past and can only wish this bright young star the best as she grieves with family and friends.

Rihanna Donates $1.75 Million to Hospital in Memory of Grandmother

Posted on December 23, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rihanna is donating $1.75 million to a Barbados hospital in memory of her dear Gran Gran Dolly, a.k.a. her late grandmother Clara “Dolly” Braithwaite. The 24-year-old broke the news of her beloved grandma’s death back in June via Twitter: “Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you.” The singer visited the hospital Saturday with her mother Monica Fenty and Dolly’s husband Lionel alongside her to formally present the generous gift. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown will be renamed the Clara Braithwaite Centre for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine. Not a bad legacy. Rihanna’s donation has paid for vital pieces of equipment. In a statement to E! News, she said, “This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernization program.” “This was all done to save lives or at least extend them.” Rihanna also honored Dolly in another way this summer. One of the many Rihanna tattoos was a giant Isis in her memory after Dolly lost her battle to cancer.

Vogue Magazines Color Issues–Why The Publication Has A Shady History Of Reppin’ Black Women On The Cover! [Photos]

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Ever wonder why you don’t see women who look like us on the covers of Vogue?? Well we do. Especially after we broke the news of Keija Minor , the newly named Editor-in-Chief of Bride’s magazine, earlier this week. While we were over here giving her a shout out, we were also struck by the staggering fact that she’s the FIRST Black Woman to ever hold the position down at Condé Nast. Ever! The publishing empire that owns 18 magazines in total, (think Bride’s, Vogue, and GQ, just to name a few), has been in the business for 103 years! So it took over a century to finally have a well-qualified African American run isht. To show you a lack in progress…hit the flip and check out the awful pattern of Black Women gracing the cover of Vogue magazine (another Condé Nast publication)… They should be ashamed of themselves…but they probably don’t even think twice about it.

Lana Del Rey’s ‘National Anthem’ Video: A$AP Rocky As JFK?

Posted on June 21, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

New clip, directed by Anthony Mandler, sees the pair portraying the Kennedys. By James Montgomery Lana Del Rey and A$AP Rocky already made minor waves when a song they recorded together, “Ridin’,” was yanked from production duo Kickdrums’ mixtape at the last minute — reportedly because Rocky liked the track so much, he decided to keep it for his own upcoming full-length, LongLiveA$AP. But from the sound of things, their next collaboration could make major headlines: The duo will play John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy in the video for LDR’s “National Anthem.” Rocky broke the news in an interview with a German reporter, saying the “Anthem” video is sure to get people’s attention, even if they probably won’t understand what they’re seeing. “We did a video together … [it’s] some swag sh–,” he said. “I play JFK, she plays Jackie O, you know, some cool, trippy sh–, some really 2015 sh–. People gonna get it in like three years, and that’s the whole purpose of it.” Totally. Of course, in another interview with BBC Radio 1 , Del Rey revealed that, in addition to its rather unique take on the Camelot couple, the “National Anthem” video would also be 10 minutes long and directed by Anthony Mandler (who recently helmed Fun.’s epic “Some Nights” clip). “Every so often, I top what I’ve done, and this video is definitely the most beautiful thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “I wrote a treatment for me and A$AP Rocky, because i just thought he’d be really perfect to star in it. … I love it.” Sadly, Mandler is about the only person who isn’t talking about the video. In an email to MTV News, he said he couldn’t speak about the video “until I know when the release is.” But rest assured, it’s coming soon — and you’re probably going to be talking about it for a long time after.

Kanye West’s Support Is ‘Good For Hip-Hop,’ 2 Chainz Says

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I knew he was up there supporting me, period,’ 2 Chainz says of Kanye’s silent appearance on ‘106 and Park.’ By Nadeska Alexis, with reporting by Rob Markman Kanye West and 2 Chainz at BET’s “106 and Park” Photo: Johnny Nunez/ WireImage During a February visit to “RapFix Live,” 2 Chainz broke the news to host Sway Calloway that he had been working with Kanye West for months, but now the cat is surely out of the bag. In addition to appearing on the new G.O.O.D. Music single “Mercy,” West popped up at 2 Chainz’s SXSW set , and this week he made a silent appearance alongside the Atlanta rapper on BET’s “106 and Park.” “That’s my dog and he doesn’t do press — he didn’t wanna do it period — and they kind of forced his hand,” 2 Chainz told MTV News of West’s “106 and Park” appearance, from the set of MTV’s “Hip Hop Squares . “I was like, ‘You don’t have to say nothing, bro,’ because at the end of the day I knew he was up there supporting me, period.” “I do a lot of things behind the scenes that people don’t know [about], and they only see [what happens] on ‘106 and Park,’ ” 2 Chainz continued. “So that would’ve been another event where they wouldn’t have known Kanye was back there, I wouldn’t have name-dropped, that would’ve been part of my process of just working hard and grinding it out.” Although ‘Ye’s appearance was clearly not planned, it seems like everything worked out for the best. “When he came out, it spilled the beans out the bag, but it was cool,” Chainz says. “It was good for hip-hop that he came out and showed support. He wasn’t trying to take the shine, but he’s just a megastar, anywhere he goes it’s gonna happen.” When he joined Sway on “RapFix Live,” 2 Chainz, formerly known as Tity Boi, explained the dynamic of his relationship with ‘Ye. “For the most part, when we started building our relationship, we found out we had more things in common than different from a musical standpoint,” he said. “It’s no secret that I came from the hustle background, from that trap, and it’s no secret that he’s maybe more of a hipster swag, backpack kinda guy. So I think it’ll be interesting when you just drop that in the pot, in the blender, and see the outcome and results of some of that.” 2 Chainz’s upcoming album Based on a T.R.U. Story is set for an August 14 release, with the first official single slated to drop on May 1. What did you think of Kanye’s silent appearance on ‘106 and Park’? Leave your comment below!

Levi Johnston, Sunny Oglesby Confirm Pregnancy

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Levi Johnston is going to be a dad, again. Having knocked up a girl he is not married to, again. His rep confirmed that Sunny Oglesby, Levi’s girlfriend, is pregnant. His rep confirmed the story to Us moments ago. After welcoming son Tripp, 3, with ex-fiance Bristol Palin just after the 2008 election, the man, the myth, the legend is about to become a father a second time. TMZ broke the news that Levi got Sunny Oglesby pregnant recently. She’s a 20-year-old teacher who lives in his hometown and has dated him for over a year. Sunny is not far along (first trimester) and not showing yet . Johnston and the blonde, blue-eyed Oglesby (a native of Seaside, Oregon, before moving to Wasilla, Alaska) went public with their romance in December 2010. Levi and Bristol Palin were engaged twice, from 2008-2009, and then briefly in 2010. The pair called it quits for good after that and are barely on speaking terms. “Bristol wanted to have a baby,” Johnston sniped to E! News in Septebmer 2011. “It all happened on purpose, and I was dumb enough just to roll with it.” This time he’s psyched, though. Really. Probably. [Photo: TMZ]
