JWoww vs. Angelina: Jersey Shore Feud Explodes on Twitter!

Posted on October 19, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

On Thursday night, tempers flared between two long-time Jersey Shore cast members. During filming of the latest episode? Yes. But also over social media during the airing of this latest episode. As the past two installments of this MTV franchise have shown, there is major tension between Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Angelina Pivarnick — and it all has to do with Zack Clayton Carpinello. This immature 24-year old got drunk and acted like a sexist buffoon several months ago, groping Angelina on the dance floor of a nightclub after JWoww (his girlfriend at the time!) passed out from alcohol intake. This wasted escapade was featured last week’s Jersey Shore episode. Then, last night , viewers witnessed the fallout of a sober JWoww waking up the day after this inappropriate action was taken… and being deceived by Carpinello in regard to what transpired. Zack placed the blame on Angelina and alleged that she tried to kiss him . In present day, after she watched the episode a few days ago and saw what actually went down between her then-boyfriend and veteran co-star, Farley broke up with Carpinello , writing at the time: “For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this. For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. “My heart hurts on so many levels. “One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.” Despite mostly blaming Zack for initating the flirting with Angelina, however, JWoww also had some harsh words yesterday for Pivarnick. Live-Tweeting the episode, Farley posted the following online after witnessing Angelina knocking on her bedroom door and joking about having sex with both her and Carpinello: “Grinding on someone’s man? Asking for a 3 some? Kissing someone else’s BF? That’s a blatant disregard of boundaries.” Pivarnick, for her part, insisted she was just being playful. “When I asked about a three some everyone knew it was a joke,” she wrote back, adding: “I even knocked on their door and was laughing … I never had a three some in my life and I sure as hell wouldn’t want one at 33 years old.” Farley wasn’t having it, though. “Oh ok that makes sense,” she replied. “Glad what you did was a joke, and u grinding on him was a joke… and u kissing him was a joke… BUT when he joked back, you made it seem like he was a creep and destroyed him in interview. Got it. Makes total sense now.” Jenni’s beef with Angelina here seems to be less how she acted with  Zack and more how she talked about him afterward. That is: Angelina was joking and flirting right back during the night in question… but then later made it sound like Zach was totally in the wrong and acting against her will. “Both are idiots but they instigated each other,” Farley told a fan about Zack and Angelina, explaining: “Only difference is Angelina gets to talk about it on the show… like if you were that uncomfortable tell me.. don’t tell others and text me how much fun it was.” Again, it’s worth remembering that all the actions here actually transpired a long time ago. Jenni and Angelina are just giving us their thoughts on what happened now, as the episodes play out on TV. And Zack is doing the same. “I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for. … I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well,” he wrote last week on Instagram .

Felicity Huffman Refused to Talk to Lori Loughlin Before Prison

Posted on October 19, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this week, actress Felicity Huffman reported to prison to begin serving a 14-day sentence. As you probably know, Huffman is one of the famous faces of the college admissions bribery scandal . And while she’s the first celebrity to get locked up for the bribes she doled out in order to ensure her daughter a place in the school of her choice, she almost certainly won’t be the last. After all, Huffman accepted a plea deal and prosecutors still made an example of her. (Sure it was the lightest slap on the wrist imaginable, but they imprisoned a rich, well-connected white woman in America, which is no easy feat.) Conversely, actress Lori Loughlin refused a plea deal and is planning to take her chances in court. And we think it’s safe to say she’s beginning to have second thoughts after seeing what became of Huffman. Insiders Loughlin still believes she’ll be able to avoid doing time, but is now contemplating the possibility for the first time. According to a new report from People magazine, Loughlin attempted to reach out to Huffman recently in order to get a read on how the actress was feeling about her upcoming sentence. Not surprisingly, it seems Huffman didn’t feel up to having a chat: “She wanted to encourage her, and see how she was doing,” a source close to the situation tells People. “She feels like their fates are tied together now, even though they weren’t really friends before.” Sounds like Huffman just wants this whole ordeal to be over with and has no interest in commiserating with her co-conspirators. But like it or not, it seems she’ll be getting another call from Aunt Becky shortly after her release: “She wants to debrief Felicity after jail to find out what it was like and what her advice would be,” says the insider. “She feels like Felicity’s time in jail will be an indicator on her own time, and she’s extremely curious to know how it goes.” Not surprisingly, Loughlin is hoping Huffman will reassure her that life on the inside isn’t all that bad: “She’s definitely hoping that Felicity’s time in prison will go easy for her, because that will be a positive sign that, if Lori has to serve time, that she’ll be able to weather it as well,” the source says. “Of course, it’s still very important for her to be exonerated of all charges against her,” the insider continues. “She still maintains her innocence and hopes it won’t come to that. But if she does end up serving time in prison, she wants to know what she’s getting into.” Lori might still be holding out hope that the judge will go easy on her, but that seems increasingly unlikely. While her trial date has not yet been set, it looks as though Loughlin will be going from Full House to the big house sometime in early 2020.

Ann Curry: I Know ALL About Matt Lauer and His Disgusting Secrets!

Posted on October 16, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Early last year,  Ann Curry broke her silence  on Matt Lauer’s mountain of accusations of sexual misconduct and rape. Recently, the world has learned even more of his alleged misdeeds, including a story of one of his  rape victims attempting suicide . A new report says that Ann has heard from other survivors, and that if and when she is ready, she can and will destroy his life all over again. Us Weekly reports that Ann Curry knows more about Matt Lauer than anyone ever realized. “Ann has maintained a dignified silence,” the insider begins. That’s certainly one way of phrasing it. That said, she did say that she reported him for harassment as far back as 2012. The source continues: “but a lot of people confided in her years ago.” “And,” the insider continues. “Still do to this day.” We’ve all read and heard the horror stories of Matt’s ability to lock his door from his desk and of him preying on NBC employees. But apparently, compared to Ann’s knowledge, this may just be the tip of the iceburg. “She knows more than most about the man Matt really is,” the source rveals. “And when she finally speaks out,” the insider predicts. “It will destroy him.” That’s a pleasant image. We’ll talk about why she may be taking her time in a moment. Matt Lauer once had the image of “America’s dad.” That’s how many fans and viewers apparently saw him. Now, the only people who would describe him that way are people with major, negative issues with their own fathers. He is accused of using NBC as his own private game reserve — where his prey was young women too ambitious or too afraid to report his harassment. One incident describes how a woman was summoned to his office to find him with his pants down. According to the allegation, he allegedly chastised that woman for not performing oral sex upon him. She was just trying to do her job. Then, things got worse. We all remember the harrowing story of him having a button installed on his desk so that he could remotely lock his office door. According to one woman, he used that to lock her in with him and then sexually assaulted her. She says that he only stopped when she passed out and fell over. Horrific. Another woman, who later attempted suicide, says that the “sex” he had with her was nonconsensual for two reasons. One, because she was too drunk to consent. Two, because she verbally denied permission for anal sex. We don’t know what more Ann Curry may know about Matt Lauer’s awful misdeeds. But some may wonder why she would wait at all if she knows things on such an important subject. The first explanation may be that these are not her stories to tell. These are the stories of survivors. They’ll share if and when they’re ready. The other is that she may be waiting to see if Matt attempts a comeback. Reports say that he is eager to return to work. It sounds like he may truly believe that he somehow did nothing wrong. Many feel that he got off easy by being fired, and that he belongs in prison with other accused rapists. If he tries for a comeback, maybe Ann will come forward. View Slideshow: Matt Lauer: A Timeline of Terrible Behavior

Alexis Bellino: I’m Not Returning to Housewives! Tamra Judge is MEAN!

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino really, truly hates that nickname, and the woman who gave it to her: Tamra Judge. While Alexis did make an appearance on The Real Housewives of Orange County , it was only to discuss divorce with Emily Simpson . The former Housewife may have filmed that scene, but she's not coming back. And according to a report by RadarOnline , that is very much by choice. What would keep the recently divorced Alexis from accepting a massive Housewives paycheck? Tamra Judge, apparently. Alexis just can't stand her, and the report explains exactly why.   1. Alexis Bellino could have reclaimed her Orange! “Andy Cohen personally asked Alexis to come back full time this season,” an insider reveals to RadarOnline. 2. Wildly, here was her answer: “But she said no,” the source shares. Not many people are willing to pass up that kind of paycheck. This is especially true of people who were recently divorced. 3. Why TF would she do that? The insider explains that Alexis turned down the offer “because she wants nothing to do with Tamra.” 4. She’s avoiding Tamra like the plague “Tamra runs everyone off the show,” the source characterizes. She can be very supportive to some of her friends, but … yeah, she’s a lot. 5. Apparently it’s not even worth that hefty paycheck “Alexis refused to come back,” the insider reiterates. “Because she won’t be around Tamra.” 6. And yet … she did appear on RHOC “Alexis agreed to film just one scene,” the source notes, referring to Alexis’ sit-down with Emily in which she discussed her life now and how miserable her divorce process was.

Ashley Martson: Jay and I Are Back in Each Other’s Lives!

Posted on October 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last month, we were stricken with horror at the idea that Ashley Martson and Jay Smith might get back together . We soon dismissed our concerns because they had simply arrived, separately, at the same venue. After all, this 90 Day Fiance couple was riddled with scandals and disasters even before their deeply contentious divorce. Only now, in an interview with In Touch Weekly , Ashley reveals that she and Jay are no longer at odds. Most worrying of all, she has even dropped her PFA order against him. Oh no, Ashley! 1. Ashley has us so worried with this As you are about to see, Ashley’s recent playful banter with Jay on social media is just the tip of the iceberg. 2. Jay had a birthday this week On Tuesday, October 8, Jay Smith turned 22 years old. He’s begun to have the Bad Birthdays — after 21, each milestone is a reminder of the relentless march towards the grave. But that didn’t stop him from celebrating 3. Jay wasn’t the only one to mark the occassion Ashley Martson took to her Instagram Stories to wish Jay a happy birthday. Or, more specifically, to write “Happy Birthday, Loser!” In case anyone might think that she was picking a fight with actors Bella Thorne or Percy Hynes-White, she tagged Jay. 4. And Jay responded … “Thanks, punk!” he wrote above a screenshot of Ashley’s message. They may be hurling mild insults at each other, but this looked alarmingly playful to a lot of fans. 5. Fans were understandably alarmed A certain level of communication is often required for an ongoing divorce. But no divorce forces the pair to wish each other a happy birthday on social media. What’s going on? 6. And wait, are they even allowed to speak? Jay spent almost all of the month of July in ICE custody after violating the PFA — protection from abuse — order that Ashley had taken out to keep herself and her home safe from him. Are they even supposed to be interacting like this? View Slideshow

Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson: ACTUALLY Getting Back Together?!

Posted on October 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Way back in April of 2018, Tristan Thompson got caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian with a slew of random groupies while he was on the road with the Cleveland Cavs. Khloe forgave Tristan — and he quickly made her regret it. Not long after, Tristan was caught cheating again — this time with Kylie Jenner’s longtime best friend Jordyn Woods. It was the ultimate betrayal, and Khloe once again kicked Tristan to the curb. On the second offense, she seemed to have every intention of sticking to her guns. But time heals all wounds, makes fools of us all, etc. Choose whatever cliche you want — the point is, it looks like Khloe is once again on the verge of giving Tristan another chance. According to a new report from Radar Online, the former couple never really cut the lines of communication. Which is not surprising — these two have a daughter together, after all. But it seems that in recent months, the conversation has shifted away from toilet training in favor of talk about making more babies. “Khloe and Tristan are talking so much lately,” an insider tells the site. “And it isn’t just about their daughter, they talk a lot just about regular life,” the source adds. Obviously, the idea of Khloe getting back together with Tristan is horrifying, but sadly it seems the ladies of the Kardashian clan won’t be stepping in to put a stop to this ill-advised reconciliation. “Kim actually likes Tristan and has been saying she likes hanging out with him, he is a cool guy,” says the tipster. “Kim has been open about hating Tristan for what he did to Khloe, but she has definitely been nicer about him lately.” Yes, Kim made no secret of her hatred of Tristan after word got out of his repeated infidelities. We’d be more than a little surprised if she really abandoned that antipathy, but then again, it seems Thompson is quite adept at acquiring unearned forgiveness. And apparently, these days, he’s laser-focused on winning back Khloe. “Tristan does all sorts of flirty things, like sending Khloe flowers and little gifts, all trying to convince her to give him another chance,” says the source. “But so far it hasn’t worked and they’re not back together — yet,” the insider adds. “Khloe hates that she likes Tristan and wants to be around him. So far she isn’t letting anything romantic happen.” Apparently, one thing that’s made it difficult for Khloe to take Tristan back is the fact that he will 100 percent cheat on her again. The source says that Khloe “doesn’t trust him at all,” but finds herself conflicted about how to move forward: “She wants him to be in True’s life, but she doesn’t have faith in him now,” the insider claims. “He’s putting in a huge effort with Khloe and she told him to cut it out in public.” Referring to Tristan’s thirsty comments on Khloe’s Instagram pics , the source adds: “No more comments on social media because it makes him look pathetic.” Bruh. That’s way down the list of things that make you look pathetic. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Makes Stunning Admission, Says Tristan Thompson Threatened to Kill Himself

Hayden Panettiere Refuses to Testify Against Ex-Boyfriend, Domestic Violence Case Dismissed

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Surprising news out of a Los Angeles County courtroom today, as Radar Online is reporting that Brian Hickerson — the controversial boyfriend of actress Hayden Panettiere — will not be charged with domestic assault . Hickerson was arrested back in May after police responded to a 911 call from Hayden’s neighbors. The case appeared to be open and shut, as neighbors testified that they heard sounds of an argument, followed by a female voice crying out in pain. It was later revealed that Hickerson had been charged with brutally beating Panettiere three times over the course of two days and was expected to serve time behind bars for the attacks. In a stunning turn of events, however, Panettiere refused to testify against her ex in court. According to Radar, Hayden’s family was contacted and informed that if the actress did not show up for today’s hearing, the prosecution would be left without witnesses and would have no choice but to drop the charges. It’s possible that the DA might subpoena Panettiere at a later date, which would mean re-filing charges against Hickerson. “If they subpoena her, they’d reopen the case,” a source close to the case tells Radar. The insider revealed that Hayden’s family is “disappointed” in the outcome but uncertain as to whether or not they should encourage the actress to take the steps necessary to see that Hickerson is brought to justice. “With all the evidence the police had, it’s not enough even without Hayden? It’s a fault in our judicial system,” says the informant. “It is not on Brian’s own good behavior that this got dismissed. It doesn’t change who is and what he has done. He is a criminal.” Despite the perceived miscarriage of justice, it seems likely that Hickerson will not face a second trial, as it appears that Hayden would prefer to simply move on with her life. According to the source, she and Hickerson “planned this” outcome, and the charges were “never going to go through” per an arrangement they reached ahead of the trial date. “It doesn’t shed a good light on Hayden,” says the insider. “It’s a bad choice to avoid the summons and not follow through,” the source continues. “It’s certainly not the end of the journey for Hayden or Brian.” We’d like to point out that it’s important to avoid victim-shaming in a case such as this, and it’s crucial Hayden do whatever is best for her mental health If there’s any bright side to this situation, it’s that Hayden and Brian appear to have finally parted ways. Unfortunately, it looks as though the actress and her ex still run in the same social circle due to the fact that Panettiere is now dating Hickerson’s brother . We’ll have further updates on this ongoing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Accused of Domestic Violence

Amber Portwood: NOT Fired From Teen Mom OG Following Abuse Allegations!

Posted on September 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Back in July, Amber Portwood was arrested after allegedly assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon. The details of the incident were brutal — according to the police report, Amber attacked Andrew with a machete and struck him while he held the couple's 1-year-old son — and things only got worse from there. At this point, several audio recordings have emerged in which Amber threatens to kill Andrew and can be heard assaulting him in the presence of their baby. Fans assumed such horrific abuse would result in Amber being fired from Teen Mom OG — but according to a new report from The Ashley's Reality Roundup , Portwood still has her job at MTV. Here's what we know about the situation thus far: 1. Unscathed Amber Portwood has been accused of truly horrific acts of abuse, and there’s a mountain of evidence pointing to her guilt. Despite this, it seems she has not been fired from Teen Mom OG. 2. Getting Away With It In a shocking new report from The Ashley’s Reality roundup, a production insider confirms that Portwood still has a job, and will continue to appear on new episodes of Teen Mom OG. 3. A Baffling Decision “Amber has 100 percent filmed for the new season,” says the source. “She is not being fired by MTV.” 4. Letting It Ride It seems insane that MTV and parent company Viacom would risk so much by continuing to employ someone who is quite clearly guilty of domestic abuse. 5. Ratings Rule But it seems the powers that be believe Portwood’s story will continue to attract viewers. And with ratings at an all-time low, TMOG needs all the help it can get. 6. Courtoom Drama “[The producers] plan to film with Amber through her court trial [for the domestic battery charges],” says the insider. View Slideshow

Lori Loughlin: Please Don’t Send Me to Jail Like Felicity Huffman!

Posted on September 16, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

On Friday, one chapter of the college admissions bribery scandal came to a close. In a Boston courtroom, actress Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison for paying an admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor correct her daughter’s answers on the SAT.  Dozens of affluent parents were ensnared in the FBI’s “Varsity Blues” sting operation, and along with fellow actress Lori Loughlin, Huffman came to embody the unchecked entitlement that led to such rampant cheating on behalf of already-privileged young people. When word of Huffman’s sentencing got out, thoughts turned to Loughlin and what the news might mean for her. Unlike Huffman, Loughlin rejected a plea deal  and plans to fight the charges against her in court. At first, there were reports that the sentencing might actually be good news for Loughlin, as it amounted to a defeat for prosecutors — a defeat that might lead them to offer a second plea deal. Now, however, an insider tells Fox News that even if a second deal is offered, it will certainly involve jail time for the actress. “If she’s found guilty, she will go to jail; that is clear. And if another deal is offered to her, which I don’t think it will be, she will go to jail,” the source said. “Her only chance of avoiding jail is to beat these charges. Lori is a smart woman; she understands that,” the insider continued. “She’s scared and upset, but she’s resolved to be strong and to fight this. She will do what she has to do to protect herself and her family.” Considering the charges against Loughlin are far more serious (she allegedly doled out $500,000 in bribes to Huffman’s $15,00) it seems almost certain that she’ll be going from Full House to the big house. She stands accused of bribing admissions officials so that both of her daughters would be accepted to USC as members of the crew team — even though neither of them had ever rowed before. Loughlin is still holding out hope that she’ll beat the charges — but that seems increasingly unlikely in the wake of Huffman’s sentencing. She and her husband — fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli — are playing the ignorance card and claiming they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong. But legal experts say that didn’t work for Huffman, and it won’t work Loughlin. “The government doesn’t have to prove that Loughlin and Giannulli knew what the payments were used for,” said attorney Neama Rahmani. ” The fraudulent application to USC is enough to support the conspiracy charges. And there is more than enough circumstantial evidence to prove that they knew the payments were for an illicit or unlawful purpose.” The source says Loughlin regrets not accepting the original deal from prosecutors, but he claims her reason for doing so is that she did not fully understand the charges against her. “She didn’t understand the entire nature of the charges against her, and she wasn’t even sure if or how she had broken the law. It was very early, and she didn’t have all the information that she has now,” the source said. “Based on what she understood at the time, she made the best choice for herself. Now there is no deal on the table, and she has to have faith that the courts and the prosecution will move fairly and not make an example out of her.” Of course, the reality of Lori’s situation has come into stark clarity in the days since Huffman’s sentencing. Despite her bleak prospects, however, it seems Loughlin still has not come to grips with the fact that she’ll likely be doing time. “This has been a rough day,” the source says. “Lori is going to move forward as best as she can, but now she has a little more clarity about what will happen next.”

Joe Giudice to Feds: I Give Up! Go Ahead and Deport Me!

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It looks like Joe Giudice is all out of juice. As you’re probably aware, Giudice has been fighting deportation to his native Italy for several months now. But it seems that after his latest appeal was rejected , the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star is slowly coming to terms with the fact that his days in America may be numbered. According to a new report from Radar Online, a frustrated Giudice has essentially issued an ultimatum to the federal government: Either release me to my family, or hurry up and deport me. Currently, Giudice is being held in an ICE detention center , where he has resided since completing his prison sentence for tax fraud back in March. Joe has reportedly complained to loved ones that conditions in the ICE facility are worse than in the federal prison where he was served his time. And it seems he’ll do anything to be a free man again, even if that means taking an unwanted trip overseas. A source tells Radar that Joe has accepted the fact that he’ll almost certainly be deported. He has asked officials to allow him to return home and spend his remaining days in America with his wife and daughters. If they refuse to do so, he has requested that he be deported immediately, rather than spend additional time in the detention center. “It’s been horrible, and he doesn’t want to rot away there any longer,” says the insider . “The moment he is denied, he said he will pull his appeal and get ready to go to Italy.” A recently-released fellow detainee told Radar that the facility is “like in a dungeon” with cramped, filthy cells and subhuman living conditions. If Joe’s request is granted, and he’s permitted to await deportation with his family, it could be the last time he sees them for a very long time. Teresa Giudice has already indicated that she plans to divorce Joe if he gets deported, and it seems she’s already enjoying life as a single mom. Teresa is rumored to be dating Blake Schreck , a 26-year-old businessman whom she met during Joe’s time in prison. Though he doesn’t speak the language and hasn’t been to Italy since he was a child, we can see how life in America might be growing more unappealing to Joe by the day.
