Darryl Dawkins Dies: Basketball Legend Was 58

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

NBA legend Darryl Dawkins has passed away at the age of 58. It’s been said that what Babe Ruth was to the home run, Dawkins was to the slam dunk. After becoming the first player to be drafted right out of high school in 1975, Dawkins became a fan favorite due to his flamboyant style of play. Dawkins famously broke two backboards with his earth-shattering dunks in 1979, leading the league to adopt break away rims shortly thereafter. His 14-year NBA career ended in 1989, but Dawkins continued playing professionally until 2000, even wowing fans for one season as a Harlem Globetrotter in the mid-90s. Nicknamed “Chocolate Thunder” as a result of his prodigious presence on the court, Dawkins started his career with the 76ers before moving on to the Nets, Jazz and Pistons. He averaged double-digit points per game in 9 of his 14 seasons. Dawkins became a trailblazer and a crusader for equal rights when he spoke openly about the racism that he and fellow players such as Julius Erving encountered in the 1970s and ’80s. He remained a popular media figure throughout his retirement and was named “Man of the Millennium” in a 1999 Saturday Night Live sketch. Dawkins leaves behind a wife and three children. At this time, no cause of death has been given. View Slideshow: Celebrities We Lost in 2015

Chelsea Handler Covers Bare Vagina with an Apple

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For once, Chelsea Handler is actually covering up her breasts on Instagram in the comedian’s latest photo. Yet she’s still managing to be half naked. Handler, who is known to go topless while skiing and/or go topless while covering her nipples with the Star of David , is wearing a lacy black bra in the image above. But that’s it. She is not wearing underwear or any bottom layer of any kind. “Look at my hair. Something must have happened while I slumbered,” Handler jokes in the caption of this selfie, likely very aware that few people are actually looking at her hair here. Instead, they are looking at where they should see hair… and are instead seeing a Granny Smith apple. Handler doesn’t say anything else about the unusual picture, and we’re a little afraid to ask. But this is definitely someone who is comfortable with her body. “You know, I had a boyfriend who told me my boobs were too big and that I was fat,” Handler wrote online a few weeks ago. “And then, I looked in the mirror.” She included with this funny message a revealing bikini photo . It didn’t involve the use of any apples.

Lacey Schwimmer Stands Up for Chaz Bono, Slams DWTS Critics

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lacey Schwimmer really doesn’t get it. Some people are taking issue with Chaz Bono appearing on Dancing with the Stars because this individual has undergone a gender transformation? This is an example of Hollywood tearing down traditional values ? Really?!? “It’s disappointing,” Schwimmer, who is partnered with Bono on DWTS , told The Insider. “No human is perfect, so why are they pointing out what they perceive to be an imperfection in someone else? It’s not cool. We’re all taught to not bully, or harass, and treat everyone as equals yet all these people are doing exactly the opposite.” Earlier today, Cher also stood by her controversial son . It should all make up for an interesting, highly-related season of Dancing with the Stars , that’s for certain. Where do you stand on the casting of Chaz Bono?

Heather Morris, Photographer Court Controversy with "Bruised-Up Barbie" Pics

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Has Tyler Shields crossed a line? A new spread of Glee star Heather Morris depicts the actress with a black eye, causing many to wonder why a photographer would actually invoke an image of domestic violence in such a way. Easy, says the man behind it: I didn’t. “In no way were we promoting domestic violence,” Shields tells E! News “We wanted to do a bruised-up Barbie shoot and that’s exactly what we did!” More shots are available at Tyler’s official site . They all feature Morris with a black eye; some involve the use of an iron and its chord. “I don’t know if Tyler is aware but I’m quite sure there are plenty of women who have been abused by these kinds of household appliances and children as well being hit with electrical cords,” says Rita Smith, executive director for the Denver-based National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. “I’m not sure what the purpose is other than shock value.” Shields has courted controversy in the past with photo shoots. There was this one of Lindsay Lohan , covered in blood, just a few weeks ago. What do you think of the artist’s latest work? Has he gone too far?
