Posted on April 15, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Host Rebel Wilson paid homage to her Australian roots as she hammered out a musical number to begin the 2013 MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. The actress began in an Aussie-themed hot pink track suit – with koalas imprinted over her breasts – before stripping down to a black leather cat suit. She belted out Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” in the process. Watch the highlights below: Rebel Wilson MTV Movie Awards Intro 2013 (FULL) As she closed out the opening musical performance, an Australian flag fell down across the stage’s back video screen. But she wasn’t done there. The comedian then stopped to take a break and wiped herself down with a towel, while a topless man sporting a six-pack brought her a bottle of water. She thanked “hunky,” before a larger shirtless man appeared to bring her chocolate, at which point Wilson took a bite and took time to thank “chunky.” Finally, she introduced herself to the audience … who appeared stunned. After all, how often do you see something like that go down? Grade Rebel Wilson as MTV Movie Awards host :   Awesome Pretty good Okay I guess Not impressive Sucked View Poll »

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Charlie Wilson, an ex-Congressman from Ohio, has passed away. He was 70 years old. The Democrat suffered a stroke in February and was admitted to a hospital in Boynton  Beach Saturday after falling ill. He died the next day around 2:30 p.m., surrounded by family members. Wilson won a write-in campaign and served two terms in Washington, securing federal funding for projects that benefited the police department, airports and small businesses. Prior to being elected to Congress, Wilson served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1997 to 2005. “I served with Charlie in the State Legislature for six years and he was a loyal friend in good times and bad,” Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement. “An outspoken advocate for working people, Charlie never wavered in his service to his constituents or his lifelong pursuit to help improve the lives of others.” Wilson is survived by four sons, one of whom served as his campaign manager in the 2006 race and then on succeeded him in the Ohio Senate.

Lauryn Hill Claims She Didn’t Pay Taxes Because She "Withdrew From Society"

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lauryn Hill claims the reason she stiffed the United States on massive tax bills for years is essentially the same reason she fell off the map after the ’90s. Fear. Lauryn filed legal document asking for mercy before her sentencing later this month, claiming there was a reason she failed to file tax returns from 2005-07. Hill has already pleaded guilty and faces several years in prison. Her hilarious excuse for not reporting $1.8M in earnings? She stopped paying “when she withdrew from society at large due to what she perceived as manipulation and very real threats to herself and her family.” She’s not specific about the threats, but it’s a new explanation for her abrupt disappearance from the music scene after her rise to fame, if nothing else. Lauryn’s asking the court to consider other factors and to give her probation instead, citing that she can pay off the debt much faster if she’s not in jail. A judge will rule April 22.
