Khloe Kardashian: Living in Her CAR During Lamar Odom Split?!

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sunday on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian made a startling admission regarding her living situation. Was she being serious, though? The reality star told her siblings she was living out of her car rather than the beautiful home she shared with soon-to-be-ex-husband Lamar Odom. One can understand that given the painful nature of the split – the hookers, the cheating, the Lamar Odom crack video – she’d want to be elsewhere. Still … her CAR?! It’s hard to imagine Khloe actually cranking the seat back and sleeping in a vehicle full of suitcases when she could crash at one of many mansions. Perhaps Khloe was exaggerating and meant that she was driving from one of said mansions to the next, with no real place she felt she could call home? If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you’ll see that Kris Jenner welcomed her home, as does brother Rob Kardashian. She had options. Still, apparently none of them would take. Not even Kourtney Kardashian trying to get her sister to move into the house next door to hers, which is for sale. Khloe passed on that too. In favor of … her car. Since this filmed awhile ago, we know that Khloe and Lamar sold the property – to Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting , no less – so the memories are gone. Wherever she’s living now, and whatever she’s doing, here’s hoping she’s in a happier place, as she was clearly broken up over the demise of her marriage. No one deserves to live in a car. No one.

Quentin Tarantino Sues Gawker Over Script Leak

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Quentin Tarantino is suing celebrity gossip site Gawker following the leak of his script for The Hateful Eight, which he is no longer making into a movie. The famed director filed suit accusing the blog of the following: “Blatant copyright infringement by the promotion and dissemination of unauthorized downloadable copies of the leaked unreleased complete screenplay.” “There was nothing newsworthy or journalistic” about it, Tarantino alleges. Quentin Tarantino Script Leak He is seeking damages reportedly in excess of $1 million for the action. Furthermore, while Gawker did not post the script to its own site, Tarantino says it would not have been widely accessible if Gawker had not linked to it. Often. Gawker turned down repeated requests to remove links to download the script, the complaint charges. A Gawker post offering links to it is still online. The celebrity gossip site did not respond to a request for comment. The Hateful Eight is/was a Western, the same genre as Tarantino’s 2012 hit Django Unchained , which won him an Academy Award for writing. After the script leaked online, Tarantino’s spokesman told CNN that the director was furious, and shelving plans to produce The Hateful Eight himself. He told Deadline that he had given the script to only six people, including actors Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern and Tim Roth. Somehow, it got out. Instead of directing the film himself, Tarantino is expected to sell the script and will instead take into production a second script he was working on. Here’s hoping he gets to the bottom of this. In the meantime, don’t bother trying to download it while there’s legal action pending against Gawker. Just watch Pulp Fiction online instead . Quentin would be okay with that.

Bitcoin Exchange CEO Charlie Shrem: Charged with Money Laundering For Silk Road Clients

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Federal agents have arrested Charlie Shrem, CEO of Bitcoin exchange BitInstant, for money laundering in connection with online drug exchange Silk Road. The U.S. attorney’s office said Shrem helped someone he hadn’t met in person, Robert Faiella, sell more than $1 million worth of bitcoins to Silk Road customers. Bitcoin CEO Arrested Shrem was arrested at JFK Airport Sunday. Faiella, his 52-year-old partner, allegedly ran an underground Bitcoin exchange using the alias BTCKing. He was arrested at his home in Cape Coral, Fla. Both are charged with conspiracy to launder money and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Additionally, Shrem faces a charge for not tipping off the government. Shrem, 24, is a major player in the Bitcoin world. The BitInstant exchange, based in New York City, lets people buy bitcoins locally at more than 700,000 locations. It received a $1.5 million investment last year from Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Shrem is also vice chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, CNN reports. The Winklevoss twins said in an emailed statement that they are “deeply concerned” about Shrem’s arrest, and that they were assured his actions were legal. Shrem allegedly sold Faiella the bitcoins that eventually made their way to drug buyers and sellers, according to an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service. Though Shrem knew where the money ultimately ended up, he never reported it to the U.S. Treasury Department, according to the U.S. attorney. Faiella was allegedly pumping them into Silk Road on a regular basis. Federal documents cite emails between Shrem and Faiella that show how they worked together, although Shrem never knew Faiella by his actual name. For example, when Faiella’s frequent and large cash deposits raised eyebrows at a cash processing company, Shrem advised Faiella on how to avoid sounding alarms. The IRS claims the partners exchanged $1.05 million in bitcoins over a 10-month period ending in October 2012. Faiella eventually ended the partnership.
