Black Magic Mike? Tyson Beckford And Michael Jai White Tapped To Strip Down And Shake Sum’n In New Flick

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Throw that boy p …never mind. Tyson Beckford, Michael Jai White Cast As Male Strippers In New Film We’re sure some ladies ( and quite a few gents ) are going to be super-excited to see this! A new film about the Black male stripper scene is set to hit theaters with Michael Jai White and Tyson Beckford serving as the primary eye candy. How do you think their shirtless, oiled-up gyrations will measure up against Channing Tatum’s? Via Deadline : Channing Tatum did it with Magic Mike, and his co-star Joe Manganiello sold upcoming docu La Bare on the strength of the tantalizing subject matter. Now indie helmer Jean-Claude LaMarre (Gang Of Roses, Color Of The Cross) is hoping to tap into the world of male strippers with his urban take, Chocolate City, which aims to merge the Magic Mike phenomenon with the recent strength of African-American-themed films at the box office. Black Dynamite star Michael Jai White and model-turned-actor Tyson Beckford are in negotiations to star in the tale of Devin, a college student struggling to make ends meet who meets the owner of a male strip club (White) who convinces him to give amateur night a whirl. Beckford will play Adrian, the club’s former star attraction who finds his popularity fading as the new kid starts to steal the spotlight. “This movie was in gestation for 2 1/2 years, but after Magic Mike it seemed a natural fit for the African-American female audience,” LaMarr told me. I researched the male exotic club scene and it’s massive across the country, with clubs specifically targeting middle-aged African-American women.” Finally…a race-themed flick specifically for the thirsty ladies! Will you be watching?

Kate Middleton, Cressida Bonas Not a "Natural Fit" For the Royal Family?

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kate Middleton and Cressida Bonas might both be royals pretty soon as Prince Harry will likely propose to Bonas in 2014, but an upcoming book implies that neither of them should really be members of the House of Windsor at all. Marcia Moody , in her book  Harry: A Biography , says “Kate and Cressida aren’t a natural fit, left to their own devices.” What she means is that neither is really fit to be Queen. Look here, Marcia Moody. NOBODY PUTS KATE MIDDLETON IN THE CORNER. Or Cressida Bonas, for that matter. Cressida Bonas and Kate Middleton Much of the criticism, it seems, comes from the ways in which these women met their real-life Prince Charmings.  Kate Middleton and Prince William met at St. Andrews College and began their love affair. The world watched as a relatively ordinary girl became a princess. (Okay, okay, Duchess.)  It was quite the fairy tale. Cressida Bonas’ story, however, is a little more…rock and roll. Cressida Bonas and Prince Harry met at a music festival when her best friend–Princess Eugenie, who happens to be Harry’s cousin–introduced them. The University of Leeds graduate tends to live a more casual life than that of Kate Middleton’s appearances at formal functions. But to say they’re not fit for the monarchy? Come on. When the time comes for Cressida Bonas to enter the Royal Family, Kate Middleton will be there to assist her in whatever way Bonas’ needs. Because that’s just who Kate Middleton is. “Kate will be there for Cressida with any concerns regarding being in the public eye,” Moody writes. Middleton has already shown her approval of Prince Harry’s “Cressy” by inviting Bonas to Prince George’s October christening. Bonas declined to attend so as to keep the attention on Prince George and the happy occasion. See? Cressida Bonas totally knows how to play the game. She’s ready for life in the spotlight.

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Ready to be inspired, THGers? Dylan Siegel is a seven-year old whose best friend Jonah has tragically been diagnosed with a rare illness called Glycogen Storage Disease Type 1b.  It’s a live disorder that cases very low blood sugar and for which there is no cure. Jonah is one of only 500 kids in the world with the disease and he must be fed through a tube every few hours. Because Dylan describes his friendship with Jonah as “awesome as a chocolate bar,” he has written The Chocolate Bar Book, sold it across the world… and raised over $600,000 for research into the illness. Says Dr. David Weinstein of the Florida lab that is receiving these proceeds: “It is now reality. It’s not just a dream that these children can be cured.” Pretty amazing story, huh? You can follow this link to purchase a copy of The Chocolate Book and donate.

Lady Gaga: "Do What U Want" With My Body (and Check Out My New Song)!

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lady Gaga has released her latest single, “Do What U Want,” featuring R. Kelly, and its message to haters is a fairly direct one: Do what you want, people. At least when it comes to weight critiques, drug speculation or Lady Gaga hermaphrodite rumors. Do what you want with her body. You can’t have her mind! Deep. Lady Gaga – Do What U Want ft. R. Kelly The funky dance track has the duo taking on critics, singing, “You can’t have my heart / And you won’t use my mind but / Do what you want with my body.” Among R. Kelly’s more prominent lyrics: “Do what I want with your body / Back of the club, taking shots, getting naughty / No invitations, it’s a private party.” Hopefully, one that doesn’t involve urine and underage girls. Turning our attention back to something less disgusting, Mother Monster used some of the song lyrics to reference some celebrity gossip reports on Twitter. Specifically, she Tweeted photos of herself regarding her alleged weight gain in 2012, hermaphrodite status in 2009 and being a drug addict, in general. The pop superstar ran down the list of Lady Gaga gossip: LADY GAGA IS FAT NOW! #DoWhatUWantWithMyBody LADY GAGA IS A HERMAPHRODITE! LOOK AT THIS PIC OF HER D*CK #DoWhatUWantWithMyBody LADY GAGA IS ON DRUGS! HER CAREER IS OVER! (been an addict for 10years) #WriteWhatUWant My recovery is a daily battle In addition to those subjects, Gaga hit back at her critics for playing up a faux feud between her single “Applause” and Katy Perry’s “Roar” over the summer. She also referenced another perceived beef between herself and Madonna, who has implied “Born This Way” is similar to her own music. Gaga writes: APPLAUSE didn’t DEBUT AT #1! KATY IS BETTER THAN HER! #UWontUseMyMind I write for the music not the charts LADY GAGA IS A REDUCTIVE MADONNA COPY! SHE’S OVER NOW! #WriteWhatUWant #SayWhatUWantBoutMe #ImNotSorry The “Do What U Want” cover also features Lady Gaga’s ass in all its glory. Do what you want, fans. Your words won’t hurt her … unless you don’t buy the single.

Woman Gives Birth Inside California Bookstore

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Customers inside a California Barnes & Noble didn’t need to purchase any books on giving birth last Friday. Because they were treated to a live demonstration! An unnamed female entered the Torrance location of this chain late last week and went into labor in the store’s lobby. Torrance Fire Department Captain Steve Deuel said emergency workers responded to a 911 call and were debating whether to take the expecting mother to the hospital when the “baby made that decision for them.” “They went ahead and delivered a healthy baby boy,” Deuel said. The exciting incident took place around 7:30 p.m., just a few minutes after the woman walked through the door. Approximately 20 people gathered to watch the miracle take place. “That is a really awkward event to do in public,” said store manager Marchelle Hughes. “At the same time it’s a really tender moment, and I think everybody wanted to share that. The mother and newborn, whose names were not made public, were taken to a hospital and both are doing well. This is a far more uplifting story than that of a dead fetus which was actually found inside a shoplifter’s bag in New York City last week.

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Johnny Depp is known for his many unique looks on screen, from The Mad Hatter to Edward Scissorhands to Captain Jack Sparrow. But the multiple-time Oscar nominee surprised fans over the weekend by debuting a unique look in real life, going blonde for an event at the London Film Festival that honored Christopher Lee. Depp was on hand to present the legendary actor with the British Film Institute Fellowship, hailing his frequent co-star as a “a very great man indeed.” Depp and Lee have shared the screen in three Tim Burton-directed films: Sleepy Hollow , Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Dark Shadows . Working with Lee “was certainly a childhood dream come true,” said The Pirates of the Caribbean icon, who referred to the 91-year old British actor as a “true gentleman,” a “national treasure” and concluded with a simple: “I love you.” But do you feel the same way about Depp’s lighter locks? That’s the important issue here. Vote now: What do you think of Johnny Depp as a blonde?   Looks great! Looks terrible! I’d still do him View Poll »

Sam Mendes NOT Confirmed to Direct Next Bond Film

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

Sam Mendes, you’re  killing us! After he insisted he didn’t want to direct any more Bond films, Mendes had reportedly signed on to helm  Bond 24 , and was even working on a deal for  Bond 25 . But, that no longer seems to be the case. During a red carpet event for the opening of his West End theatrical production of  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Mendes insisted he’s been too focused on the new play to deal with  Bond . When asked about his involvement with the next Bond film, Mendes said “I don’t know yet. I’m in discussion over the ‘B’ word and I won’t make any decision until this [play] is open.” Regardless of whether Mendes is directing it, we do know that Daniel Craig will return to play 007. We also know about the sexy new Bond girl: Penelope Cruz . That’s good enough for now.

Monica Lewinsky Negligee, Other Items Up For Auction

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A racy black negligee that once belonged to Monica Lewinsky is among 32 items of hers that are up for auction in Los Angeles this week for some reason. Other items up for bids include a letter from then-President Bill Clinton to Lewinsky’s other lover at the time, her former high school teacher Andy Bleiler. Also, there’s a second signed letter, from Lewinsky to Bleiler, a drama instructor, that includes the line “am I good at lying through my teeth or what.” A rare chance to own a piece of history from Clinton’s piece on the side. The letter from Clinton to Bleiler was written on White House stationery and, at Lewinsky’s request, wished Bleiler a happy birthday in February 1996. The collection of items was submitted by Bleiler to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr at the time of the investigation into the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. Her affair with the married Bleiler came to light during that same investigation, which led to Clinton’s impeachment by the House of Representatives. Clinton was impeached in 1998 perjury and obstruction of justice charges, but acquitted by the Senate. He completed his second term as president in 2001. Bidding for the collection is currently underway on the Nate D. Sanders website until 5 p.m. PDT on Thursday. It was at least two bids, with the highest at $2,750. Money. Well. Spent.
