Friends of Taylor Armstrong Push for Rehab

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Taylor Armstrong has a drinking problem that her friends believe should lead this reality star into rehab, and we know what you’re thinking: Taylor Armstrong has friends?!? Kennedy Armstrong is as cute as her mom is awful. Apparently, or else Radar Online is simply making up sources, which seems unimaginable. According to that site, producers plan to address Taylor’s reliance on alcohol on the show’s new season, which started shooting last week. “The fellow Housewives feel that Taylor needs to go to rehab to learn how to cope with the pressures of life without alcohol or any other substances,” says an insider. “Taylor is in denial that she has a problem with booze.” A contributing factor to Armstrong’s hesitation to seek help? She does not want jeopardize a $100,000 endorsement deal with Ciroc Vodka. Aside from exploiting her alleged addiction, Bravo doesn’t have grand plans for Taylor on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . She will be likely be phased out, this mole claims, due to a lack of an “interesting hook.” “Everyone’s concerned that without the marriage drama she’s just going to come across as dull. It’s unlikely that she’s going to be able to start publicly dating again so soon after Russell’s death and with her money troubles she’s unlikely to be leading any kind of aspirational lifestyle.”

Demi Lovato Goes Off on Disney for Eating Disorder Joke

Posted on December 24, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The folks at Disney forced Demi Lovato out of the Christmas spirit last night. The former star of Sonny With a Chance – who left that series earlier this year to battle personal problems that included an eating disorder – took MAJOR exception to a joke on the Disney Channel show Shake It Up this week, as a character quipped: “I could just eat you up, well if I ate.” The line promoted the following Tweets from Lovato: I find it really funny how a company can lose one of their actress’ from the pressures of an EATING DISORDER and yet still make joke about that very disease… And is it just me or are the actress’ [on Disney Channel] getting THINNER AND THINNER…. I miss the days of RAVEN, and LIZZIE MCGUIRE… Dear Disney Channel, EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT. The network, meanwhile, has actually responded and agreed with Lovato, releasing the following statement: “We hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them … It’s NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!” Way to go, Demi! And happy holidays! Go stuff your face. You’ve earned it.

Demi Lovato: A Role Model For Girls?

Posted on September 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

“There was nobody out there for me to look at and say maybe this is unhealthy. I want to be that for a 13-year old girl at home deciding whether or not to eat dinner, or an 18-year-old girl deciding whether or not to keep her breakfast down.” – Demi Lovato Her “emotional and physical issues” are well-documented, but rather than hide from them, Disney starlet Demi Lovato says she wants to be a role model. Lovato, 19, who used to cut herself and who has battled eating disorders, appears on an episode of the The Ellen DeGeneres Show scheduled to air Tuesday. She says she wants to be “outspoken” and freely talk about her “issues” because when she grew up, she “was dealing with the pressures to be thin.” “It was the time in the tabloids when very, very skinny girls were on the cover of every magazine, and that’s what I was looking up to,” she says. “That’s what I had to idolize. I don’t want that for young girls.” While she calls her old life a “mess,” right now, it is what it is. In fact, at this point, she’s actually grateful for her “meltdown.” “So many things were going great in my life, and then all of a sudden my personal life just went down at crazy speeds,” the “Skyscraper” singer says. “I had a negative breakdown and it changed my life forever.” “But if I hadn’t gone into treatment,” she continues, “I don’t know if, one, I’d even be sitting here today, [or] two, if I’d even be alive today.” We’re so grateful that she is, and hope that young people can take what she says seriously. It’s good that she’s up front about her past, don’t you think?

Anthony Weiner Takes Leave of Absence from Congress, Seeks Professional Help

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Anthony Weiner should really just resign already. Under mounting pressure from fellow politicians, and with police getting involved in his recent spat of Twitter exchanges, the embattled Congressman has announced a leave of absence from his post. Can one seek professional help for being a horny moron? A statement from Weiner’s camp reads: “[Congressman Weiner] will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well. Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.” The move comes after Nancy Pelosi said her colleague ought to see assistance “”without the pressures of being a member of Congress.” It also takes place shortly after police interviewed a teen in Delaware. She admitted to exchange Tweets with Weiner, but said nothing “inappropriate” took place. With his wife pregnant , there certainly do appear to be pressing personal matters for Weiner to attend to. Let’s hope someone confiscates his cell phone while he’s away. [Photo: WENN.com]
