Bella Thorne Is Naked, Increasingly Desperate on Instagram

Posted on November 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bella Thorne is only 21, but at times, it seems that her career, such as it is, may have already peaked. Nominally, Bella is an actress, model, singer, etc., but like so many of her peers, Thorne’s most lucrative revenue stream is social media, particularly Instagram, where she’s amassed an astonishing 18.4 million followers. And like Kylie Jenner before her, Bella knows what makes the internet tick. We’re talking, of course, about nudity. It’s up there with funny cat videos and political outrage on the list of things people just can’t help but click. Unfortunately, it’s also a game of diminishing returns. The internet quickly loses interest in naked bodies it’s seen before and moves on to new nudity. Some young stars realize this and change tactics (hence Miley Cyrus’ rebranding as a sober, fully-clothed hippie), while others double-down and offer up more flesh than ever, which seems to be Bella’s strategy. Bella Thorne Is Naked We’ve seen Bella Thorne naked before, but never this much in one day. Both the pic and the video above appeared on Bella’s Instagram page on Wednesday, and the captions have left fans confused, to say the least. “So excited for the big release behind this shoot btw I’m wearing underneath nude bra and bathing suit bottoms for comfortability and it helps the whipped cream stay attached ;)” Bella wrote We appreciate the old-school emoticon, and we’re sure the Instagram admins appreciate the clarification that she’s not actually naked. But what does it all mean? “Thorne by Bella,” Thorne later added. “Gonna be a big release w this shoot I’m stoked”. Adding to the confusion is the fact that she’s posing in front of a neon sign that reads, “electric p-ssy.” Is she launching her own line of vibrators? Is she actually a sex robot from the future? Only time will tell. But hey, we can’t really hate, since it’s marketing tactics like these that helped make Kylie Jenner a near-billionaire . We suppose that’s another thing Bella has in common with Kylie — a preference for inappropriately old dudes. Bella is currently dating 31-year-old Mod Sun, just as Kylie hooked up with a Z-list rapper who was nearly a decade her senior back when she was in her teens. Look, everything’s legal here, and a 10-year age difference isn’t that weird in most circumstances, but if you’re 31 and you have a whole lot in common with people who are barely old enough to buy alcohol, it might be time to reexamine your choices. And it’s not like Bella is known for being crazy mature for her age, ya know? View Slideshow: 33 Hottest Bella Thorne Photos EVER!

Jodie Foster Talked About Retiring From Acting In 2011

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

While the rest of the world dissects the coming-out portion of Jodie Foster’s Golden Globes speech , I’d like to focus on another potential bombshell the 50-year-old filmmaker appeared to have dropped while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement: The suggestion that she was somehow retiring from the business. “This feels like the end of one era and the beginning of something else. Scary and exciting, and now what?” Foster told the Globes audience. “I may never be up on this stage again, on any stage, for that matter.” WATCH: Jodie Foster Wins The Golden Globes With Her ‘Coming Out’ Speech After the awards Foster clarified that remark , saying: “I could never stop acting. You’d have to drag me behind a team of horses. I’d like to be directing tomorrow. I’m more into it than I have ever been.” So which of those statements is closest to the truth? I’m going with the clarification. Her I-may-never-be-up-on-this-stage-or-any-stage line felt like an emotional and momentarily insecure remark made by a 50-year-old person who works in a mercilessly fickle business, particularly when it comes to middle-aged women. Yes, by turning to directing and producing and making some extremely smart acting choices, Foster has avoided the forced exile that so many actresses suffer once they hit their 40s, but that doesn’t mean she’s immune to an occasional crisis of confidence, especially when pouring her heart out before the world. Also, lifetime achievement awards come with a built-in punchline: the implication that the best of one’s career is in the rearview mirror. Foster’s back-stage clarification seems like a more level-headed parsing of her on-stage remark, and it’s also in line with a comment she made to The Hollywood Reporter in 2011, when she was promoting The Beaver: “I’ve reached that point where I don’t want to act very much anymore,” Foster told the publication. “I am much more interested in holding off on acting, after 45 years as an actor. It’s a long period of time to do the same thing.” That sounds to me like the early blueprint for Jodie Foster’s next act. When an acting role that inspires her comes along, she’ll take it, but, at the moment, directing moves the needle for her. According to IMDb , Foster’s future work commitments are sketchy, but after her role as Secretary Rhodes opposite Matt Damon in Elysium next summer, and her work behind the camera as the director of The Money Monster , which is in pre-production, she appears to be gravitating toward work behind the camera. I do think we’ll see Foster up on the stage at the Golden Globes, or the Oscars again, but the odds are it will be for her work as a director not as an actor.
