Finally, The Documentary About Women’s Shoes You’ve Been Waiting For

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Are you obsessed with designer ladies’ shoes, or do you know a woman who is? (Aren’t we all? Let’s go shopping, OMGZ!) Then here’s the documentary for you: God Save My Shoes , from director Julie Benasra, which purports to be “the first documentary to explore the intimate relationship that ties women to their shoes.” Watch Fergie, Dita von Teese, and a bunch of other real life Carrie Bradshaws gush over their Louboutins in the film’s trailer (which, incidentally — of course — includes Louboutin himself). Look, I like shoes as much as the next girl. And there are certain angles to this exploration of the ladies’ shoe that could be fascinating enough. (Why is a stiletto so sexy? Because it elongates your silhouette and can double as a murder weapon, perhaps? Discuss.) But this chick caressing the curve of her pump, these ladies drooling over their shoe caverns, Fergie Ferg insisting that shoes tell the world who you are… I can’t even. And then there’s Kelly Rowland, credited as “Singer/Former Destiny’s Child/ Shoe Mommy .” SHOE MOMMY. Is that a thing?? (Seriously, what is that?) Maybe Shoe Mommy is what she calls herself because, apparently, she names her shoes like they’re her children. God Save My Shoes is available On Demand.

Attention Whore Late Pass: Ex Child Of Destiny LaTavia Says Mean Daddy Matty Made Kelly Rowland Cry

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Does this heifer know it’s 2011? The British media is digging for dirt falling in love with Kelly Rowland now that she’s a UK TV star. And somehow, the Mirror dug up LaTavia Roberson who was more than happy to reminisce about how rough the Destiny’s Child days and how wonderful Kelly turned out despite it all. First she told them that Daddy Matty was a tyrant. The tears fell hard when manager Matthew Knowles, father of bandmate Beyonce, tore into her after a Destiny’s Child show where she had faltered during a dance routine he had drilled into “his” girls. “Where were you tonight, Kelly?” he bawled at her after a gig in Atlanta in 1997. “I watched you mess up 12 dance steps.” LaTavia Roberson, Kelly’s childhood friend and a founder member of the all-girl supergroup, recalls: “Matthew did not mince his words and it can be tough to take that kind of criticism when you are a little girl. We would try not to let it break us. “But Kelly was the sensitive one, and sometimes she would go to her room and cry.” Latavia says he acted like an army drill sergeant, making them sing as they jogged in the park and rehearse dance routines in the family living room for hours on end. They even held joint prayer sessions to ask God to help them get the record deal they craved so much. It was like the famously regimented childhood of the Jackson Five. “We used to call him Joe Jackson,” says Latavia. “It’s not like he beat us with his belt or anything, but he was very strict. Beyonce was the only one brave enough to stand up to him.” “We worked really hard. It was rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. It would be the four of us and he was like a drill sergeant. When summertime came he would start a camp at his house in Houston. “He would make us wake up early in the morning and take us to Herman Park. There was a three-and-a-half mile track and we would sing while we jogged around it. Then we would go to the house and rehearse. “That’s what our days consisted of, seven days a week. Looking back, working that hard did cost us our childhood. But at the time we were just focused on living out our dreams.”

Bun B Hopes To Shoot Trill O.G. Videos With Drake

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It’s always a good thing when me and the young boy get together,’ he tells MTV News. By Jayson Rodriguez Bun B Photo: MTV News Bun B and Drake are on a hot streak together, from their first collaboration “Uptown” to their most recent tracks “Put It Down” and “It’s Been a Pleasure” The UGK rapper opened for Drake earlier this month as a part of the Toronto star’s OVO Fest , and while he was in town, he tried to rope in his collaborator to shoot a video. The plan didn’t work out due to Drake’s busy schedule, but Bun said he plans to shoot videos for their songs and as many on his album, Trill O.G., as he can. “Definitely look for some visuals for ‘Put It Down’ in the future,” Bun told MTV News. “As well as ‘It’s Been a Pleasure.’ We’re gonna try to put out a visual for as much of Trill O.G. as we can.” A snippet of “Put It Down” leaked onto the Web well ahead of the album’s release, but now that Trill O.G. has arrived, the reaction to the Drake-assisted track has been high. “It’s very hard to live up to the hype the people create for things nowadays; luckily, this song did,” he said. ” ‘Cause a lot of time, people build something up, and it’s almost impossible to match up to that. In this case, it matched up to it. And the fact that the other song, ‘It’s Been a Pleasure,’ is on it, as well, you get two for two. It’s always a good thing when me and the young boy get together. It’s special music. That’s how I feel, and I think that’s how Drizzy feels.” What do you think about Bun B and Drake’s chemistry? Let us know in the comments!

Kelly Rowland Recalls Wrecking Cars On ‘When I Was 17’

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I was a really, really bad driver,’ the ex-Destiny’s Child singer admits. By Mawuse Ziegbe Kelly Rowland Photo: MTV News As part of the “Bootylicious” chart-topping girl group Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland was a key member of a bona fide hit factory. But before she was cranking out global R&B and pop smashes, Rowland remembers smashing up cars as a teenager. The singer reminisces about her bumpy ride toward learning how to drive on the latest episode of MTV’s “When I Was 17.” “I was a really, really bad driver,” the singer admits. “As a matter of fact, I wrecked about three cars before I finally got the whole driving thing down.” Rowland, who has steered her solo career toward success by bringing her pipes to the house-music scene and teaming up with French producer David Guetta on the international 2009 hit “When Love Takes Over,” has presumably mastered the art of driving since her teenage years. However, the memories of Rowland’s automotive antics still haunt the singer’s nearest and dearest. On Saturday’s episode — which also features teenage tales from Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias and Stephanie Pratt from MTV’s “The Hills” — Rowland’s friends remember the R&B diva’s less than smooth moves behind the wheel. “Terrible, terrible,” is how Rowland’s homegirl Angie describes the singer’s driving skills. “Did I say terrible? Terrible driver.” Former Destiny’s Child member LeToya Luckett shudders when she thinks back to Rowland’s early days in the driver’s seat. “Tales of Kelly behind the wheel — Lord help us all,” the “Torn” songstress chuckles. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Rowland, Enrique Iglesias and Stephanie Pratt — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
