Posted on March 24, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lil Chris, a British pop singer who rose to fame due to his appearance on the UK reality series Rock School, died today at a home in the town in Lowestoft. He was 24 years old. Few details are available at this time, though we can confirm that Suffolk Police were called to an address on Union Road around 11:45 a.m. local time. Authorities do not suspect foul play was involved. Rock School star Gene Simmons confirmed the death on Twitter on Tuesday, writing of Chris, whose real name was Chris Hardman: Sad to report Lil Chris from the Gene Simmons Rock School TV show, has passed on. He was loved. RIP, Lil Chris. On the reality show, Simmons worked with a cadre of teenagers from a UK high school to transform them into a rock band. Lil Chris ended up as the breakout star of the program; he released the single “Checkin’ It Out” shortly after it aired in 2006. The single went on to hit number-three on the British charts.

Chloe Sevigny Finds Jennifer Lawrence "Annoying," Clearly Has Awful Taste in People

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s almost as rare to find as a photo of Kim Kardashian with her clothes on, but THG has searched long and hard and we’ve done it. We’ve discovered the one person on this planet who dislikes Jennifer Lawrence. In the latest issue of V Magazine, Chloe Sevigny explains why. “So much [success] is about marketing and selling the product. They’ll have a really peppy funny girl on the talk show rounds, and everybody adores her and loves her and wants to be her or f-ck her, and then so many more people want to watch the movie or TV show.” Lawrence certainly is a talk show darling, even sitting in to host The Late Show during one memorable appearance with David Letterman. “I love when a movie star is a great movie star,” Sevigny adds. “I think Angelina Jolie is a great movie star. I don’t think I can be that, or just be an actor. I don’t think I have the charisma. Which is probably why I never reached another level. I like Emma Stone. Whenever she’s herself, she’s really cute. ” Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass .” Yes, too crass . We would have accepted too clumsy … but too crass?!? 14 Reasons Why We Love Jennifer Lawrence 1. She talks about butt plugs View Video Jennifer Lawrence tells Conan all about how she has a sex toy stash that the maid found. It’s great. 2. She pretends to have red carpet meltdowns View Video Jennifer Lawrence is so darn cool. Watch her pretend to flip out at reporters in this video. 3. She is there for a crying fan View Video Jennifer Lawrence stopped to comfort a crying fan on the red carpet for Catching Fire. She rules. 4. She adores Jeff Bridges View Video Jennifer Lawrence spies Jeff Bridges at Comic-Con and gets a little star-struck. Check it out now! Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 5. She falls at the Oscars View Video Jennifer Lawrence falls on the stairs en route to collect her Best Actress Oscar. Pretty awesome. 6. She photobombs Taylor Swift View Photo Look out, Taylor Swift! Jennifer Lawrence is totally coming for you on the Golden Globes red carpet. 7. She also photobombs Sarah Jessica Parker View Photo Jennifer Lawrence photobombs Sarah Jessica Parker at the MET Gala. Awesome. 8. She looks gorgeous at all movie premieres View Photo Jennifer Lawrence goes sheer at the Catching Fire premiere in Los Angeles. Are you down with this outfit? Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 9. She owns every talk show appearance View Video Jennifer Lawrence wants David Letterman and everyone else to know that photos of her butt in magazines are totally not her. 10. She loves Homeland View Video Jennifer Lawrence meets the star of Homeland in this video. Then, she has Homeland totally spoiled for her. 11. She’s Katniss! View Photo This new Catching Fire character poster features Katniss in the Hunger Games sequel. The film opens on November 22nd. 12. She has the best laugh View Photo We could watch this all day. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 13. She vomits! View Video Yes, Jennifer Lawrence admits in this video. She really did throw up at the Oscars. The End. Up Next: ” 14 Reasons Why We Love Jennifer Lawrence .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… Sevigny worries that people focus too much on “personality” over actual “acting ability.” “What I did on Big Love, Hit & Miss, and American Horror Story, it’s not like I’m just playing the same character over and over again,” she says, blowing hard on her own hard. “I would like to be respected more as an actress. It’s not like I can complain about anything. I think I’ve had great opportunities, but you can always have more.” Sure, maybe. But first you better check yourself before you wreck yourself, Chloe Sevigny.
