‘Glee’ Cast Remembers Amy Winehouse

Posted on July 23, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘She definitely brought back a lot of soul to mainstream,’ Darren Criss says. By Kara Warner Amy Winehouse Photo: Vince Bucci/ Getty Images SAN DIEGO — The news of Amy Winehouse’s tragic death continued to shock the world Saturday (July 23), with many of the 27-year-old’s celebrity fans taking to Twitter and Facebook to express their sadness in learning of the troubled singer’s passing. “Glee” cast members Darren Criss, Jenna Ushkowitz, Harry Shum Jr. and Dot Marie Jones joined in the thousands of Winehouse mourners devastated by the loss. “She’s paved the way for so many artists, so at least every artist can pay homage to her in some way,” Ushkowitz told MTV News at Comic-Con 2011 . “Hopefully they will,” she said, adding, “It’s just so tragic: She was so young and so talented.” Criss said, “She definitely brought back a lot of soul to mainstream, and it’s really unfortunate to see her go, but I think she’ll live on in other artists who will follow [with] the same soul.” Shum Jr. added, “She had a voice that couldn’t be duplicated. It’s a tragedy.” Marie Jones said she hopes more attention is paid to Winehouse’s legacy as an artist than to her personal struggles. “I hope everybody focuses on what she did and did so well and not the tragedy,” she said. “God bless her and her family. She did so much.” “In a short period of time,” Shum Jr. added. “[At age] 27, it’s really sad,” Marie Jones concluded. Though some news outlets are reporting a drug overdose as the suspected cause of Winehouse’s death, autopsy reports aren’t scheduled to be released until Sunday.

Justin Bieber, Chris Brown Spotted In Studio Together

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Pair has previously worked on two tracks together, ‘Up’ and ‘Next to You.’ By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber and Chris Brown Photo: Getty/WireImage Pals Justin Bieber and Chris Brown were spotted heading into a studio together on Monday. According to Rap-Up.com , the singers met up at the Record Plant in Hollywood. “Studio. #NEWMUSIC,” Bieber tweeted early Tuesday morning, leading us to believe the session was for his next album. Previously Bieber told MTV News that he wanted to focus less on features for his next album, but given the fact that Brown recently wrote a track for Joe Jonas , it’s possible he may have just been assisting with some writing. The rumored session marks the latest collaboration for the pair, who have appeared on two tracks together in the past. First, they remixed Bieber’s slow jam “Up,” then Bieber jumped on Brown’s ballad “Next to You.” Bieber’s producer, Danja, told Rap-Up.com that he’s aiming for an “edgier” sound for the 17-year-old’s next release. “What I’m creating for him I think is definitely a more mature sound. That’s where he’s headed now,” he explained. Earlier this year, Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, revealed some other names the pop star hopes to get into the studio with, including Drake, a collaboration Bieber hinted at last year. Bieber is also reportedly working with Kanye West. “Him and Kanye [West] had a call today about a song they’re trying to work on together,” Braun said. “Kanye wants to produce a bunch of songs for the new album.” Related Artists Chris Brown Justin Bieber

Hi , my name’s Nicolette and I’ve been a belieber…

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hi , my name’s Nicolette and I’ve been a belieber since One Time. I bought Justin’s CDs supported him through everything, I went to his My World Tour when it came to Philly and I went to two of Q102’s Jingle Ball concerts when he was there. But 2010 was the best year of my life for a lot of reasons , and I thought only one thing could make it better was meeting Justin Bieber! It was the end of November 2010 and I heard Justin would be at Q102’s Jingle Ball. I really really wanted to go , but like a lot of people, my family was short on money so we  couldn’t  buy tickets. My mom and I did everything to try and win tickets. Q102 had a bunch of contests on the radio where you call in and win tickets, that was extremely hard. One night , there was a raffle at about 7pm. I was on Facebook talking to my friend, when I got a notification that someone wrote on my wall, it was completely random and I was confused. I got to the wall post and it said  “Haha, I just heard your mom on the radio”. I stopped everything I was doing, I didn’t call my mom because I knew she would be on the phone with the Q102 people if it was true . I was shaking , just sitting waiting for my mom to call. Then the phone rings and my mom said, “Did you hear?” The day of the concert, December 8th 2010 I was in school spazzing waiting for the day to be over . Then we went to the meet & greet. We could see Justin, I saw Kenny too. We were next in line, I was in complete shock, I couldn’t feel my legs and I was just smiling the entire time. Kenny waved us over to come in the picture. I stood on one side of Justin and Izzy stood on the other. He put his arm around both of us and I just held onto him. But while the other people were getting in the picture, I said, “See, I never said never and look, now I’m meeting you”. I saw Justin smile. Then they took the picture . I asked Justin for a hug and he leaned in, and just hugged me. Well my world stopped. Then we left the room , and ran out screaming “WE STOOD NEXT TO HIM! HE HUGGED US! OH MY GOSH WE STOOD NEXT TO AND HUGGED JUSTIN BIEBER!” Later we went out and enjoyed the rest of the concert . It was the best day and most amazing day of my life, I really still cant believe it happend. Believe In Everything Because Everythings Reachable. #NeverSayNever.  Thanks for an amazing day Justin , I’ll love you forever ♥   Love , Nicolette  See more here: Hi , my name’s Nicolette and I’ve been a belieber…

Tyler Hadley kills parents

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tyler Hadley, a high school dropout from Port St. Lucie, Fla., was arrested on two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of Blake and Mary Jo Hadley. A 17-year-old Florida boy bludgeoned his parents to death with a hammer and then invited dozens of friends via Facebook to a house party while the bodies lay in a bedroom, police say. Acting on an anonymous tip, officers visited the home Sunday morning and Tyler initially told them his parents were out of town, says Capt. Don Kryak. Poli

Casey Anthony: Better Off in Jail?

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Most people disagree with the jury’s verdict and think Casey Anthony should still be behind bars. For her own safety and stability, maybe she should be. The 25-year-old may be a free woman, but feels anything but, given the psychological trauma she’s already suffered and the challenges she faces now. “Her life is going to be very difficult for a very long time,” attorney Cheney Mason said Monday regarding his client, whose whereabouts are unknown. Her release from jail Sunday gives you an idea of what he means: Casey Anthony Heckled Outside Jail “As long as there are so many of the lynch-mob mentality, willing to deny that the jury found her not guilty, she’s going to have issues,” Mason added . And there are quite a few. Entire Facebook groups are dedicated to finding (” Where Is Casey Anthony “) and eviscerating “I Hate Casey Anthony”) her. But her lawyer says the hounding from the public, which has reacted with nothing short of vitriol since her July 5 acquittal, is only part of her troubles. Casey hasn’t gotten over the loss of Caylee, “and probably never will,” Mason said, to say noting of her being “locked up in a cage” for three years. While convicted of four counts of lying to officials, Casey had been in jail for nearly 1,000 days, or close to what would have been a full sentence. She was therefore set free, but not of the demons internally. “This is very psychologically expensive for a human being, and she will take a while to adjust,” Mason said, adding that “a lot of plans had to be made” to keep her whereabouts a secret amid constant death threats . “She’s gone,” was all he would say. “She’s safe.”

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Ear Wax and Appendectomies

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bruce Jenner did all he could to tune out his annoying family on Keeping Up with the Kardashians last night. He gets countless points for the attempt, but the clan as a whole lost a ton in this +/- review of its weekly, scripted shenanigans… Kim asks Rob, in response to him having not seen Mason in awhile, “doesn’t that hurt your soul?” She then sticks her chest out for a nice shot by the E! cameras. PLUS 7 . Khloe brings Bruce a “harmony comb” to help with his hearing. It’s a paper plate and candle (below) resting on the side of his head. He then complains about Khloe taking a photo and putting it on YouTube. The E! camera man shakes his head and hands out MINUS 13 points for the irony. Keeping Up with the Kardashians Scene “When in doubt, throw it away,” Khloe says in regard to a turkey baster. MINUS 6 to E! producers for not taking the same stance with all copies of this show. Kourtney is afraid Rob is missing her son growing up because they haven’t spent quality time together. PLUS 5 to Rob for understanding he can just watch the process via the Internet instead. Kris tells Bruce she told him to pick up the girls 45 minutes ago, but he didn’t hear her. MINUS 47 points to every viewer who believes this exchange actually took place. PLUS 12 , though, to Kendall and Kylie for selling this imaginary storyline pretty well… until, MINUS 67 , one of them says they could have “been kidnapped.” People actually get kidnapped, you self-serving, greedy morons. Bruce passes his hearing test. He failed his integrity test years ago, so we’ll give him PLUS 6 for finally getting a passing grade here. Rob is sick ! Kris changes out of her fancy shoes and into her tennis shoes to check on the problem! PLUS 3 points to myself for having not broken my television yet. Kris says you “worry a lot” any time your child is “put under.” MINUS 29 because she forgot to include: “unless she is put under Ray J on video because that nets your family millions.” You won’t believe this, but Kourtney brings Scott flowers to close the episode and the pair makes up. PLUS 9 for such originality. The show NEVER concludes this way. EPISODE TOTAL: -129. SEASON TOTAL: -334
