Industry executives, analysts and press are headed to L.A. today for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 2013, the #1 U.S. gaming trade show. With the imminent release of two new consoles – the Sony PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft Xbox One – this year’s E3 promises to be especially noteworthy. There are also likely to be huge innovations in games, gaming technology and accessories on display at E3. Here’s a rundown on what you can expect … Microsoft will be showing off a whopping 20 games today. The company behind XBox One released a teaser trailer for its E3 2013 showing last week. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is expected to be announced for Xbox One during Microsoft’s E3 conference, following confirmation of PS4 and PC versions. Call of Duty: Ghosts gameplay will be shown during Microsoft’s E3 conference, care of Activision; the publisher gave gamers an early glimpse of footage.

Zombie Studio’s horror romp Daylight has been confirmed for PS4.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians Recap: Rob is Kim’s Pregnant Friend

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last night’s offering of Keeping Up With the Kardashians continued the now-familiar storyline of Bruce and Brody Jenner trying to repair their relationship. Meanwhile, Kris Jenner and the girls battled allegations from Ellen Pearson, Robert Kardashian Sr.’s ex-wife, with emotions running high as always. Perhaps most significantly, Rob Kardashian gaining 50 pounds carried the most weight Sunday … pun intended. Come along for THG’s official +/- recap! Rob Kardashian’s weight loss became a major story last month. Now, we get to see the precursor – the gain, and the concern of his family members. He’d put on 50 pounds, and felt he was “embarrassing to the family” after weighing in at 241 pounds with a 45-inch waist. Wow dude. Minus 241 . Not only that, be missed the private training sessions Kim Kardashian had set up for him, even as his body fat reached upwards of 50 percent. 50! “I really needed a pregnant friend,” Kim joked, in the line of the night. When Rob insisted he wasn’t pregnant, Kim said, “I know, but you eat like one.” Plus 70 , because even though it was clearly scripted, ouch! The tough love continued, too. Khloe’s plan was to get him to binge hard, getting him so sick on junk food that he’d never want to eat it again. Unfortunately, the plan backfired, however Rob did say later that he wanted to get fit and planned to work out with Khloe’s husband Lamar. Plus 40 . He’s proving a man of his word, too, looking noticeably slimmer and saying his goal is to get down to 200 pounds by July 4. Good work, Rob. Plus 20 . Meanwhile, Kris & Ko. continued their feud with her ex’s other ex, which seems designed primarily to stretch Keeping Up into its hour-long time slot. Seriously. Don’t you miss the half-hour days? Minus 50 . As for Brody and Bruce, we’ve been hearing whispers for awhile, but it was surprising to learn just how absent Bruce was from Brody Jenner’s life. No wonder Brody said Bruce is not the best father . Minus 50 . While it’s terrific to see that they both care enough to work on things now, you can’t help but feel that Bruce’s image has been dented a bit by this. Plus 150 for E! showing his faults, though, and for the father-son duo making strides to improve the situation. Because that’s what it’s all about, no? EPISODE TOTAL: -61!

Edward Snowden: NSA Whistleblower Revealed

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Edward Snowden has been revealed as the whistleblower who provided The Guardian (UK) with information for its groundbreaking new report on the NSA. The man who controversially outed the National Security Agency’s surveillance practices to the newspaper unexpectedly outed himself on Sunday. He’s been working with the NSA for four years and copied the last set of documents he intended to leak three weeks ago at his Hawaii office. Snowden, 29, is a Booz Allen Hamilton employee who requested a two-week leave of absence, told his girlfriend he had to leave and flew to Hong Kong. Why there? “Because he believed that it was one of the few places in the world that both could and would resist the dictates of the US government.” Snowden, who previously worked at the CIA after being discharged from the U.S. Army, has now been holed up in a Hong Kong hotel for three weeks. He’s seemingly at peace with the consequences his actions could bring, although he is “intensely nervous” about being spied on, according to reports. “I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions,” he tells the Guardian . “I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant.” “The only thing I fear is the harmful effects on my family, who I won’t be able to help any more. That’s what keeps me up at night,” he added. Snowden’s motivation for leaking NSA documents and information are rooted in a desire to check what he considers government’s abuses of power: “The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to. There is no public oversight. The result is people like myself have the latitude to go further than they are allowed to.” Snowden will likely draw comparisons with that against Wikileaks source Bradley Manning , though Snowden, as a civilian, will not face a military tribunal. Just the same, several lawmakers have already called for him to be prosecuted. The Guardian also published a video interview with Snowden came as the paper was under increasing pressure this weekend to be more transparent. After doubts were cast on its original reporting about the NSA’s surveillance programs, Snowden’s choice to reveal himself immediately turned heads.

Justin Bieber Sued for Ordering Gun-Based Guard Attack on Photographer

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

You know what they say: it’s all fun and games until someone pulls a gun on a photographer. As previously reported, a journalist named Jeffrey Binion accused Justin Bieber’s bodyguards of assault last week, stemming from an incident outside The Hit Factory in Miami. Now Binion has filed a lawsuit against Justin and one of his employees. He alleges that Justin was behind the attack, ordering a bodyguard named Hugo Hesny to throw the reporter against a wall and grab him by the throat. Binion then says Hesny “displayed a gun” [holstered under his shirt]” while he and the other bodyguards swiped the memory card from his camera. “Justin Bieber is now an adult, and he should act like one,” Binion’s lawyer tells TMZ. “He needs to learn that he cannot use bodyguards as weapons to harm innocent people. Bieber’s violent behavior toward photographers must end, and he should take responsibility for his actions.” There are questions over whether Hesny is licensed to work as a bodyguard in the state of Florida and whether he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon there. Binion is suing for bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish and incurred medical expenses. It’s unclear at the moment what actually took place here, of course, but Bieber was caught on tape last week, seemingly directing the attack of ANOTHER photographer.
