Willow Palin: Cyberbully or Immature Teen?

Posted on November 18, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Willow Palin: Cyberbully or Immature Teen?

Willow Palin used homophobic slurs on Facebook, but some bloggers asked whether that makes her a cyberbully or just an immature 16-year-old. The Huffington Post rounds up reactions from bloggers including Slate’s Emily Bazelon, Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic, and Salon’s Mary Elizabeth Williams. Sullivan, a gay conservative, took the harshest line against the posts, and wondered what they say about the Palin family. “Using the word gay to mean lame as an adjective is a different thing than calling a young man a ‘faggot.’ Willow is 16 years' old,” wrote Sullivan. “Who taught her to use language like that? And the excuse from the Palins? Not disciplining or an apology – but a defense: A source connected to the Palin family tells TMZ that Willow doesn't usually use this kind of language, but she felt like she and her family were being attacked.” Bristol, Willow's older sister, apologized for the posts Wednesday on Facebook. added by: TimALoftis

Producer Discusses Levi Johnston TV Bid For Mayor

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bill Simmons, a.k.a. The Sports Guy of ESPN fame, recently pondered if anyone with less talent has ever had a longer shelf life than Levi Johnston. He makes a fair point, and the baby daddy of Bristol Palin shows no signs of fading into the sunset anytime soon. Any possible PR is good PR, right? He’ll be putting that theory to the test with a new show, Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office . Yup, he’s running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. The current office-holder doesn’t seem all that worried about a challenge from a 20-year-old high school dropout, but hey, you never know, right? The producers at Stone & Company Entertainment are excited to bring his bid for office to your TVs. Head honcho Scott Stone spoke to EW about … The current status : “We’re pitching the show as advertised, Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office . We’re going up to Alaska to shoot for a couple of weeks. Once we have our story set up properly, we’ll start pitching it to the networks.” Is Levi Johnston ready for a career in politics? On who will air this nonsense : “I tend to do shows that could run multiple places. We will target the ones that are most interested first, and suffice to say we’ve gotten a ton of interest since the announcement went out yesterday.” On Levi’s reaction to the idea : “Levi’s a young guy, and running for office is a scary proposition and a big commitment. He thought about it, and then he came back and said, “I thought about it, let’s talk and see if we can do this.” On whether the Palins will be involved : “We went into this with zero expectation for any involvement from the Palins. If that changes, that’s purely their choice. We would welcome it, but it’s going to be the Levi Johnston show. On Levi’s political leanings : “Levi is well known all over the country, and you can be sure he’ll take advantage of it for his campaign. He’s already come out and said that he’s half-redneck and half-Hollywood. The Hollywood part isn’t going away.” Would you elect Levi mayor?

Report: Charlie Sheen Tossed Brooke Mueller Around "Like a Rag Doll," Actor Blames Attack on Train Single

Posted on August 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week, Charlie Sheen was sentenced to 30 days in rehab for his infamous Christmas Day fight with Brooke Mueller. But it’s clear this actor belongs behind bars. According to a newly-released police report, the December 2009 attack – in which Sheen allegedly held a knife to his wife’s throat – wasn’t the first time these two got into it physically. Both Sheen and Mueller confirmed to officers on the scene that day that Brooke had suffered head trauma during an incident a couple months earlier. The two sides disagree on whether that injury was inflicted intentionally, however. Wrote Officer Rick Magnuson: “I asked [Sheen] if he ever harmed Mueller in the past. [Sheen] stated that approximately two months ago, in California, Mueller accused him of sleeping with prostitutes. [Sheen] stated that he denied this allegation, which escalated into a ‘huge fight.’ He added that when Mueller attempted to leave the argument, he grabbed her by the wrist, causing her to fall to the ground.” The Two and a Half Men star acknowledges Mueller sought medical treatment at the time, but claims he was acting to simply restrain his wife when the accident occurred. But Brooke told a different story. When Magnuson questioned Mueller about the fall 2009 fight, she got “upset,” he wrote in his report, adding that neither side contacted authorities to report this altercation. “She was very adamant that [Sheen] intentionally hurt her by throwing her to the ground, like a ‘rag doll.’” What does the band Train have to do with any of this? According to Sheen, it was the popular single “Drops of Jupiter” that contributed to the Christmas Day fracas. He told police at his home that he and his daughter “share an affinity for both astronomy” and the Train song. Mueller took exception to this, allegedly, growing irate and jealous and asking why Charlie has a tune he shared with his daughter, but not one with her. Now, with the couple living apart and divorce likely imminent , the questions remain: Did the wind sweep them off their feet? Did they finally get the chance to dance along the light of day and head back toward the Milky Way? And do they miss each other while looking for themselves out there?

Family of Levi Johnston Feeling Slighted

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Levi Johnston’s feud with Sarah Palin was well documented. We’ll see if his own mother makes that look like child’s play. The Playgirl model’s mom, Sherry, and his sister, Mercede Johnston , are not pleased at the way in which they learned of Levi and Bristol’s second engagement. That would be via celebrity gossip publications … naturally. “You would think that a normal family would call you and say, ‘We’re getting married.’ We found out through the media, which is heartbreaking and rude,” Mercede, who recently started up an anti-Palin blog , told Inside Edition . Mercede Johnston, middle with Sarah Palin and Sherry Johnston. After first hearing about her son’s decision to walk down the aisle in a tabloid magazine, drug dealer Sherry even fears she won’t be welcome at the nuptials. “I would be absolutely devastated if I wasn’t invited to the wedding – it would be the last straw. They should elope if they can’t have both the Johnstons and the Palins together. But don’t leave us out of it. That would kill me,” she says. Speaking of the Sarah Palin, she must have been too busy making up words and comparing herself to Shakespeare, because she was out of the loop as well. She said in a vapid statement about the news: “Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what’s best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.” What do you think? Will it last?

Bristol Palin-Levi Johnston Engagement: Just For (Reality) Show?

Posted on July 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Yesterday, we reported the joyous engagement of the previously-engaged, then estranged, then reconciled tandem from Alaska, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston . It’s a wonderful thing, couples doing what it takes for love, for a child. But given who we’re talking about, there are cynics who suspect other motives at work. Seriously, when’s the reality show announcement? Next week? The week after? We stress again, this is just a rumor started by cynics. Yet it wouldn’t shock us. Think Bethenny Getting Married meets Northern Exposure meets the RNC! Gawker floats the following theory : “Within the next 4-6 weeks Palin’s PR people will releases news that Bristol and Levi will ‘star’ in a new reality show.” “All about young parenting. And yes, they will also work up to a wedding.” One they will remain abstinent prior to, of course. Because they’re like that. “This is part of the planned ‘story arc.’ Levi will be promoted as young, decent, salt of the earth guy. Bristol will be seen dealing with ‘challenges’ of young motherhood.” “Willow will be on a lot, maybe some Piper thrown in. They’ll attempt to boost rankings the first few episodes by having Sarah cameos, but the rest of the time will be a ‘conservative young marrieds who just happen to already have a baby’ theme.” Is such a scenario that crazy? Think about it. Levi’s on the hook for $1,700 a month in child support – or like $3,000 per month before taxes – a sizable sum even if he weren’t tied to the state of Alaska or lacking for a college degree. We’re just saying. The reality show would give him a salary, get the Palins get off his back, and get everybody on the same page as far as hyping the mythical exploits of Sarah Palin and her brood. Foolproof if you think about it. Reality show or not, will they last?

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston: Back Together!

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Fake engagements, court battles, baby mama drama and sabotaging a former V.P. candidate in the press. That was the life of Levi Johnston for the past year. Despite all of that, he and Bristol Palin just got back together! The parents of 18-month-old Tripp are making it work after all, despite breaking off their engagement in March 2009 and a prolonged period of icy relations. Things have thawed considerably between the young parents in recent months, and “Bristol and Levi are still very close,” a source close to Bristol tells U s. The eldest daughter to former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin is “on her own in Anchorage” and she and Levi “spend more time together than most people think.” The expectant parents before the 2008 Republican National Convention . Asked for comment, Bristol Palin would say only that “Levi and me are co-parents of Tripp and we are actively working on being good parents together.” Levi added: “Nothing is more important than Tripp. We are taking active steps to cooperatively raise him, sharing the joys and challenges of parenthood.” Earlier this year, Bristol said Levi was “a stranger to me,” while Johnston told Entertainment Tonight that the Palins were basically trying to cut him out. Things have changed since then, the Bristol source says, noting that “Bristol is a great mom and cares for Tripp; [she] and Levi are raising him together.” We couldn’t be happier. Hope she makes good at that new abstinence pledge, though – we know she can get pregnant , but give it a few years at least.

Sarah Palin at Belmont Stakes in T-shirt, Cargo Pants, and Trucker Cap

Posted on June 8, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

sarah palin tits

Palin, who was taken to task over her pricey clothing while she was a vice presidential candidate, seems to not understand that there is a time to dress up and a time to dress down. This weekend she and husband Todd attended the Belmont Stakes — the third horse race in the Triple Crown series — in Elmont, NY, where they cheered on First Dude, a horse named for Todd’s nickname during the time Sarah was governor of Alaska. Though it’s not quite the Kentucky Derby, where attendees go all out, Stakes spectators traditionally get dressed up, complete with a hat. Palin clearly did not get the memo. She showed up in cropped cargo pants, a scoop-neck T-shirt, bedazzled sunglasses, and a trucker cap. (Todd wore a plaid shirt and jeans.) What’s worse, the Palins were the guests of Marylou Whitney, the reigning socialite in the horse-racing world. Whitney, to our knowledge, has rarely been seen without multiple strands of pearls, a lovely dress or suit, and a matching wide-brimmed hat. StyleList can’t even imagine what she thought of Palin’s getup. The Albany Times-Union reported that the dress-code violation was not the Palins’ fault – their limo got lost on the 10-mile journey from JFK Airport and they had no time to change. But Palin needs to take a tip from fashionistas everywhere – the car is a perfectly good place to change your clothes, particularly during busy times like fashion week. And StyleList can’t believe this seasoned political pro has never had to change on the run. For the record, First Dude came in third.

Bristol Palin: The Height of Hypocrisy

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier, we reported about teen mom Bristol Palin’s upcoming cameo on ABC Famliy’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Give it up for family values! Isn’t this hypocritical and counterproductive? Isn’t having Bristol Palin on the show basically glorifying teen pregnancy? The network said in a press release: ” Bristol Palin is the most famous teenage mother in America. We’re thrilled to have her join us, and I think she will bring additional attention to the issues facing teen parents that we’ve been exploring for a couple of seasons now.” “I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy,” said Palin. What a crock . Bristol Palin has chosen life. And apparently fame. By putting a teen mom in any popular entertainment medium, ABC Family is (indirectly if not overtly) celebrating the fact that she’s a teen who got pregnant. Bristol Palin is known for exactly two things : Being the daughter of Sarah Palin Getting knocked up by Levi Johnston Now her famous mom wants to utilize that fact to make Bristol a celebrity while espousing family values at the same time. It’s as disgusting as it is laughable. Not to mention the ridiculousness of Sarah’s claims last week about her family being off limits. Guess that only applies if Family Guy takes shots at them , eh? This isn’t Bristol’s first dubious attempt to have it both ways. Last year, she was named Candie’s ” Teen Pregnancy Ambassador .” What does that even mean? Especially from a clothing line whose ads feature Britney Spears in booty shorts? 2008: The seeds of celebrity (and Tripp Johnston) are sown. Apparently it matters not, because it’s all about making money off THE MOST FAMOUS TEEN MOM EVER! Really, ABC Family? This is your marketing hook? Altruism, this is not. If education and prevention are really your goals, start doing public service announcements or donating time and money to charity. If the Palins wants to shamelessly promote the Palins and teen pregnancy, great. But let’s call it what it is – self-serving PR under the guise of “education.” We want to hear what you think: What is Bristol Palin’s appearance on The Secret Life of the American Teenager going to accomplish?

Bristol Palin to Guest Star on The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Levi Johnston is trying to make headway in the fields of TV and posing nude. It’s nice to see that his baby mama, Bristol Palin, has decided to follow suit. Well, at least the TV part. The daughter of Sarah Palin is coming to ABC Family as the real-life teen mom will make a cameo as herself on The Secret Life of the American Teenager . Bristol Palin will appear as one of Amy’s friends at a music program for young parents. Sarah will certainly be so proud at her girl getting more publicity. Bristol Palin during her brief, fake engagement to Levi Johnston . The casting announcement comes juts a week after Sarah and Bristol both made headlines by lashing out at Family Guy and its creator Seth MacFarlane. Its depiction of a student with Down Syndrome riled up the Palins, even if the voice actress, who has Down Syndrome herself, says they should lighten up . Is Sarah Palin being hypocritical by placing her daughter on a TV show, given that like MacFarlane, The Secret Life is just using the Palin name for ratings? Just asking .

Cory Monteith or Zac Efron: Who’d You Rather …

Posted on November 13, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In a recent interview with E! News, Glee star Cory Monteith relayed a message to reporters: I’m not Zac Efron! The Canadian actor has been besieged by comparisons to the Disney star, but he says those have fortunately died down over the last few weeks. “I’m not Zac Efron ! That was the biggest and most welcome change to my life: that I don’t have to explain the show and explain how it’s not like High School Musical anymore.
