Kim Zolciak Wants to Keep Dancing with the Stars

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kim Zolciak would like to go Dancing with the Stars. Again. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member was eliminated from the ABC program this week for seemingly understandable health reasons: Following her previous performance, Zolciak suffered a stroke and spent time in the hospital. Unable to compete on Monday evening’s telecast, Kim was given the boot by host Tom Bergeron, who explained that a health issue or illness that barred a contestant from competing meant he or she had to withdraw. The elimination reportedly came as a shock to Zolciak … and now she’s trying to do something about it. Zolciak is circulating an online petition in the hopes that it can pressure ABC into allowing her to return. “Sign this petition to bring @tonydovolani and me back,” Kim wrote on Instagram yesterday, including with it a link to said petition and adding: I was cleared to dance on Friday when I was discharged from the hospital, so Saturday morning I was up rehearsing not even 12 hrs after. I had no restrictions BUT flying until today. “Yes the timing sucked but ultimately my health is first. I wanted to dance here in ATL via satellite last night I can dance I just couldn’t fly. “I’m forever grateful for my dance partner @tonydovolani who has always supported me and All Of you my amazing fans!!!!!!!!” It took just one hour for the document to gather 10,000 signatures.

Ben Affleck: Banned from Blackjack Table in Vegas!

Posted on May 3, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Apparently directing isn’t the only thing Ben Affleck is very good at. According to TMZ sources, the actor was given the boot from a blackjack table at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tuesday night because he was doing too darn well. The security said, ‘We have to stop you because you’re too good,’ ” an insider adds to People. Afflech was on a romantic getaway with wife Jennifer Gardner and was allegedly caught counting cards, which is not against the law. But it is frowned upon by all casinos. The Oscar winner was not given the boot from the Hard Rock, it should be noted, only the blackjack table. In a statement issued on last night night, the establishment made it clear: “Mr. Affleck, a valued guest of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is not banned from our property and is welcome back any time.” Affleck is a well-known card shark. In 2001, he reportedly garnered $800,000 in blackjack winnings (at the Hard Rock no less) by playing three $20,000 blackjack hands at once.

The X Factor Results: Who Got the Axe?

Posted on November 29, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Forget Black Friday. For two X Factor finalists, last night became Black Thursday after they were given the boot from Season 3 of this Fox competition. The hour kicked off with Mario Lopez announcing Lillie McCloud had received the least number of overall votes and – poof! – she was simply gone from the show. After a number of other artists were deemed safe, it then came down to Josh Levi and Rion Page to battle it out for survive. Page sang Pink’s “Perfect” with hopes of remaining, while Levi went with Bruno Mars and “When I Was Your Man.” Paulina and Kelly voted for Rion, Demi and Simon went for Josh… and we were left with a deadlock. Therefore, the decision went back to the viewers and that was bad news for Levi. He failed to make the Top  and was sent home. So, did America get it right this week? Were the proper singers sent home?   Yes, but what a run! No, Lillie McCloud deserved to stay! No, Josh Levi deserved to stay!

Bill Nye Eliminated on Dancing With the Stars, Goes Out in Style

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bill Nye the Science Guy was given the boot on last night’s Dancing With the Stars results show, but at least he went out in style with his final routine. After ignoring doctors’ orders to stay off his torn quadricep, the 57-year-old opted instead to dance a modified “jazz” routine to Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.” It was … awkward. And ridiculous, yet brave and sort of awesome. Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein – Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff spoke of the “superb job” Bill’s partner Tyne Stecklein did at constructing a story and dance around essentially a man with a peg leg. It was pretty impressive, if you look at it from Tyne’s end. Despite Nye’s best efforts at wooing the judges with his strange, hobbled sex-robot routine, the couple was the second to be voted off the show in Season 17. Do you think Bill deserved to go home last night?   Yes. America (and the judges) got it right. No! Should’ve been Christina! No! Should’ve been Brant! View Poll » The Week 3 leaderboard on Dancing With the Stars: Brant Daugherty (27) Corbin Bleu, Christina Milian (26) Elizabeth Berkley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (25) Leah Remini, Bill Engvall, Amber Riley (24) Jack Osbourne (22) Valerie Harper, Bill Nye (16)

Rose Ann Davidson Gets Sixth DUI, Sentenced to LIFE

Posted on September 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

You know how some people never learn? The first FIVE times Rose Ann Davidson got busted for drunken driving, she managed to avoid lengthy jail sentences. Not the case with the sixth. She’s going to prison. For life. The Austin American-Statesman reports that a jury gave the 44-year-old Texas woman a life sentence in court this week in a truly shocking move. On the other hand … six. Just saying. Davidson’s first conviction came in 1996, and the one that landed her the life sentence occurred in 2012. That’s a long track record of acting dangerously. And it’s over.

Taylor Armstrong: Officially Off The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Posted on September 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia are officially in. And Taylor Armstrong is officially out. Six weeks prior to the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 , E! News confirms that this controversial reality star has been given the boot from the Bravo franchise. “Taylor is not returning as a Housewive,” a source tells E!. “You’ll see her here and there in a few scenes, but that will be the extent of her participation.” Armstrong has been a cast member since 2010, but found herself in the middle of major controversy two years ago after her estranged husband committed suicide… and yet Bravo forged ahead with new episodes, including this in which Russell Armstrong appeared. Taylor is now engaged to John Bluher and wedding planning is taking up most of her time. “Taylor’s been filming, but barely,” an insider added to E!. “And she’s no longer on salary. Her current deal is pay-for-play. She only gets paid for the days that she shoots. As of now, that hasn’t been a lot.” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns on November 4.

Jennel Garcia Reacts to X Factor Ousting, Is Ready to Rock

Posted on November 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Fresh off her X Factor elimination , Jennel Garcia faced the press last night and looked forward to what she hopes will be a very bright future. “It’s time for me to show the world who I am,” Garcia told reporters backstage. “Coming into this competition I lost myself. But I was looking for a place to grow and someone to guide me. And I feel like [ Demi Lovato ] guided me.” Garcia, of course, was stuck in the bottom two last night along with Paige Thomas . She fought back tears after the bad news was announced. But Garcia isn’t focusing on the negative. She’s dreaming big and hoping to combine rock with pop. “I’m so sick of hearing the same music on the radio,” she said of this goal. “Everything you hear on the radio sounds the same. And I know a lot of people can agree with that, people who don’t even like the music I like can agree with that. We’re sick of hearing the same thing.” What do you think, readers? Did you Garcia deserve to be given the boot?   Yes, it was Jennel’s time! No way, should have been Paige! View Poll »
