In Scammy White Folks News: Prosecutors In College Bribery Case Recommend Jail Time For Felicity Huffman

Posted on September 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: JOSEPH PREZIOSO / Getty Felicity Huffman Could Get Jail Time For College Bribery If the feds have any say in the matter, Felicity Huffman is going to jail. On Friday, prosecutors outlined their sentencing recommendations in documents filed in the United States District Court of Massachusetts. This comes months after the actress admitted to paying $15,000 to a college counselor to inflate her daughter’s SAT scores. According to the sentencing memo, prosecutors are shooting for the 56-year-old to serve one month in jail, followed by 12 months of supervised release and a $20,000 fine. They are arguing for jail time while emphasizing that Huffman being confined to her large Hollywood Hills home wouldn’t be too much of a punishment. The former Desperate Housewives star who was previously facing up to four months in jail before pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud earlier this year. In response to prosecutors’ sentencing recommendations, Huffman’s legal team requested one year of probation, 250 hours of community service, and a $20,000 fine. The actress asked for leniency in a letter submitted to the court. Felicity Huffman: “When my daughter looked at me and asked with tears streaming down her face, 'Why didn't you believe in me? Why didn't you think I could do it on my own?' I had no adequate answer for her. I could only say, 'I am sorry. I was frightened and I was stupid.'” pic.twitter.com/Ffq9qpvjkL — Aaron Leibowitz (@aaron_leib) September 6, 2019 “I honestly didn’t and don’t care about my daughter going to a prestigious college. I just wanted to give her a shot at being considered for a program where her acting talent would be the deciding factor,” the letter read. “This sounds hollow now, but, in my mind, I knew that her success of failure in theater or film wouldn’t depend on her math skills.” Felicity’s lawyers also submitted Letters in Aid of Testimony written by her friends and family, including her husband, William H. Macy and her former Desperate Housewives  co-star Eva Longoria . Felicity Huffman is set to be sentenced on September 13.

Todd Chrisley Accuses Daughter of Sleeping with Married Bachelor Stars

Posted on August 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Todd Chrisley may be innocent of forging bank documents, hiding millions of dollars from the government and not paying his federal taxes for multiple years. We’ll let the authorities determine the authenticity of these allegations after the reality star and his wife were indicted this week on 12 counts of financial fraud. But one thing is certain: Todd Chrisley is a world class sleazeball. The USA Network personality pleaded not guilty to all the aforementioned charges brought against him in court yesterday, having alleged previously that a disgruntled former employee actually forged these documents and set both Todd and his wife up. Really, this is the guy’s defense. “We have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of,” Todd wrote on Instagram this past Monday, blaming the entire ordeal on “a trusted employee of ours [who] had been stealing from us big time. But we’re actually not here to discuss Todd’s story or whether he really did commit these crimes. Not right now at least. Instead, for the sake of this article, we’re focusing instead on the relationship between Todd and his daughter, Lindsie. The latter is very much estranged from her parents, having quit Chrisley Knows Best in 2017 and having moved on to host a podcast with Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry. Due to her fractured non-connection to dad, some have actually theorized that Lindsie played some role in her parents’ indictment. Did she turn over any evidence to the police or alert them to her father’s activities in any way? No, Lindsie’s lawyer said in a statement yesterday. “The circumstances Todd and Julie find themselves in, is quite unfortunate. It was reported that Lindsie was the source of the information that led to her father’s arrest,” this statement reads. And it continues: “That is untrue, she was not the source of this information. “Lindsie has been a constant target of lies, harassment and threats from her family and as a result, has been distancing herself from the Chrisley family since 2017.” Whoa there, right? WHAT?!? It turns out that Todd’s estranged daughter filed a police report in June that alleged her brother, Chase, has purchased a sex tape that featured his sister. And that Chase and Todd were threatening to release it unless she agreed to lie about some sort of “incident.” It’s widely assumed that this “incident” is a reference to Todd and Julie’s alleged tax evasion. We report:  Whoa there, right? WHAT?!? Perhaps even more incredibly, Todd has responded to this allegation — by hurling Lindsie so far under the bus that we may never see her ever again. We’re gonna bold the entire statement Todd released to E! News because each and every word is simply that stunning. Here it is: It’s heartbreaking and shameful that these kinds of accusations have to be aired in public. We have tried to keep Lindsie’s extramarital relationships with [Bachelor Nation stars] Robby Hayes and Josh Murray private for her sake since August of 2016. Sadly, for reasons we can only guess at, she ran to the sheriff’s office to accuse her brother of buying a sex tape of her and Robby, which was a complete lie, and now she’s telling more lies about me. Todd added: “Although our hearts are broken, Lindsie is our daughter and we will always love her.” Yes, they willl love her so much that they will expose her alleged affairs with other reality stars, while also claiming to millions of people that Lindsie made a sex tape with one of these men. Just… wow. Lindsie Chrisley has not yet remarked on her father spreading these rumors in such a fashion, but Murray responded to E! with a pretty fantastic clapback: “Lindsie and I have been friends for years,” he said, adding: “I know Todd and his family are going through some tough times right now and I pray everything works out in their favor. “They should probably focus on how not to be imprisoned for 30 years rather than spreading gossip to try and hurt their daughter. “I truly believe they are good people and I wish them the best in however they choose to go about their actions.” We disagree on that one point there, Josh: Todd Chrisley is not a good person.

Gina Kirschenheiter: Granted a Divorce From Matt! Will Soon Be Single!

Posted on August 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this summer, a deeply disturbing report came out about Gina Kirschenheiter’s husband allegedly attacking her and threatening her life. Since then, they have been to court. A judge has extended Gina’s restraining order and agreed to the end of their marriage, but they’ll still technically be married for months . For a woman who spent so much time last year boasting to Shannon Beador about her easy divorce, Gina’s split has taken a nasty turn. In June, she alleged that Matt had shown up at her house late at night and then broken in and attacked her. She accuses her ex of having pushed her down, of having struck her. Gina at one point fled the house to seek help from a neighbor, but says that Matt dragged her back to the house. Someone dialed 911 and police arrived, but not before Matt had allegedly threatened Gina’s life repeatedly. Absolutely bone-chilling stuff. Now, RadarOnline reports that a judge has granted Gina and Matt’s “dissolution of marriage.” It seems that, despite the June nightmare, the two were able to come together to address some major aspects of their divorce. However, there is a lot of paperwork remaining, pertaining to “matters of joint property and other issues.” For that reason, Gina and Matt will remain “married,” technically speaking, until December 31, 2019. The court hopes that they will be able to complete that paperwork before then. On January 1, Gina will be single and presumably ready to mingle. It seems clear that both Gina and Matt were ready and eager for the marriage to end. The issues that they resolved included division of properties, spousal support, child support, and other financial matters. Things at the Wednesday, August 14 hearing became heated as Matt was asked some very direct questions. Matt agreed that the reasons for their divorce were “irreconcilable differences.” He also conceded that he would not get back with Gina if suddenly presented with the opportunity to do so. The most important part of many divorces is determining custody of any children. It seems that Gina and Matt were able to reach an accord on that topic. But knowing that they agreed in court is not the same thing as knowing the details of their custody arrangement. Speaking of Gina’s children, don’t expect to see her changing her name any time soon. As she explained to the judge, she wants to keep the same last name as her children. A lot of divorced moms make that same difficult choice. Then comes the matter of Gina’s physical safety. Fortunately, it seems to be something that the court is taking seriously. Gina already had a temporary restraining order in place. The court has extended that protective order through next year, to January 15 of 2020. That is the date on which both parties will return to court, fully divorced, to discuss the domestic violence charges against Matt. Eyewitnesses say that Gina and Matt refused to look at each other while in court. However, as she left the court, Gina is said to have looked emotionally devastated. In contrast, Matt apparently looked relieved. We can only speculate as to what they were thinking and feeling at that time, of course. Perhaps, when we know which property was assigned to whom, we’ll be better able to explain why Gina was so unhappy. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know

15 Deaths That Murdered Good TV Shows

Posted on August 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Killing off TV characters is risky business.  You run the risk of ruining a good show, and pissing off a lot of fans in the process.  We've rounded up 15 deaths that completely were essentially the death knell for their respective shows.  Do you agree with these takes? 1. Smurf – Animal Kingdom This one is very recent, but what the heck? Ellen Barkin’s Smurf was one of the only reasons to tune into Animal Kingdom. She was quick-witted, badass, and crazy. Those are great traits for a TV character! 2. Rhaegal – Game of Thrones Game of Thrones spent years saying just how strong the dragons were, so to have Euron wipe Rhaegal out with ease left many fans wondering what the heck the creators were thinking of when they thought it would be a good twist. It was the first major disappointment in what was ultimately a terrible final season for the HBO epic. 3. Tara – True Blood True Blood turned to crap long before the pitiful series finale, and that was thanks in large part to the death of Tara aka one of the best characters. Tara’s relationship with Pam was going to strength to strength when she was killed off in a pretty nonsensical way. 4. Laurel – Arrow Just when it seemed like the writers were finally starting to realize that Katie Cassidy’s character had a huge fanbase, they killed her off. It was pretty bizarre, and the backlash resulted in them bringing back another iteration of the character that ultimately became known as Laurel. 5. Mike -Desperate Housewives Desperate Housewives managed to remain fresh for most of its eight-season run, but the show will always be remembered for jumping the shark ahead of its finale when it opted to kill off Mike Delfino. 6. Cristal – Dynasty When Dynasty Season 1 ended with Cristal in a burning barn with a gunshot to the abdomen, fans thought the character would make a miraculous recovery for Season 2. However, Nathalie Kelley was written out of the series, and another actress stepped in as a new Cristal. Yikes. View Slideshow

Vanessa Williams’ ’666 Park Avenue’ Series Gets Dropped After 13 Episodes!!

Posted on November 18, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Can we please get this woman a show that will have some damn staying power ?? According to The Hollywood Reporter , Vanessa’s show just got shut down: Freshman dramas Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue will not move forward at ABC. The network has opted to cancel both underperforming series, despite picking up two additional scripts for both. The two series will get to air all 13 episodes in their original order in their respective Thursday and Sunday time slots. freshman drama 666 Park Avenue has struggled in the 10 p.m. Sunday slot. The Terry O’Quinn, Vanessa Williams, Dave Annable and Rachael Taylor thriller is averaging only 5 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among the key 18-49 demo. Its most recent hour drew 4 million viewers with a 1.3 demo rating.) The decision to end the shows after 13 episodes comes after the network picked up two additional scripts for each. ABC brass had hoped that 666 Park Avenue’s soapy undertones would prove a strong fit with last year’s breakout Revenge, but the show failed deliver either the buzz or the viewership. ABC has not yet determined what will air in either series’ place, as the network has not announced its midseason lineup. The network has comedies How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life) and Family Tools in the can for midseason as well as dramas Mistresses, Red Widow and Zero Hour. Already this fall, Lee’s team has granted full-season orders to Nashville, The Neighbors and second-year Shonda Rhimes drama Scandal, while picking up additional scripts for the Reba McEntire freshman comedy Malibu Country and Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing. Williams plays Olivia Duran, the rich wife of a sinister landlord who frequently makes deals with the devil. Williams most recently starred on ABC’s other smash hit, Desperate Housewives, which ended it’s eight-year run for good last spring. Vanessa plays Olivia Duran, an Upper East Side wife of a dark (demonic-connected) landlord. Hopefully she gets a better role with a little more of the bite she had in her roles on Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty. Images via

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Emmy-winning actress, also known for ‘West Wing,’ died of lung cancer Friday. By Jocelyn Vena Kathryn Joosten Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/ Getty Images Kathryn Joosten, star of hit shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “The West Wing,” died Friday at age 72. The Emmy-winning actress lost her decade-long battle with lung cancer, and a rep told TMZ she was surrounded by family when she passed. She was originally diagnosed with the disease in 2001 and it returned in 2009. “Kathryn passed away this morning after a valiant fight against her cancer,” her rep, told E! News . “Her family was with her. Funeral arrangements are pending. This is a terrible loss, and she fought as hard as she could.” Most recently she was known for playing Wisteria Lane’s very own Karen McCluskey on the hit ABC prime-time dramedy “Desperate Housewives.” Her role on the show earned her two Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series Emmys, in 2005 and 2008. She was nominated again in 2010. By her third nomination, she had been promoted to a series regular despite the Guest Actress nod from the Emmys. Her character died in the final season of the show, which ended last month. Before hanging with the glamorous ladies on “Housewives,” she starred on the political drama “The West Wing” as President Bartlet’s (Martin Sheen) secretary Dolores Landingham. She was on the show for three seasons, from 1999 to 2002. Her other credits include “Dharma & Greg,” “Becker,” Roseanne,” “NYPD Blue” and “Family Matters.” Her rise to fame came late in life. The Florida native decided to pursue an acting career at age 42 in the 1980s after taking classes in Chicago, where she was a psychiatric nurse at the Michael Reese Hospital. She learned her craft at Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf Theatre and also did theater in the Windy City for some time. Share your condolences for Joosten’s family and friends in the comments below.
