Tamra Barney Calls Slade Smiley "F–ker" and "Deadbeat," Deletes Tweet

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tamra Barney is unafraid to dish it out online, or on TV, or in person, but a recent f-bomb she dropped on Gretchen Rossi’s fiance might have taken it too far. The Real Housewives of Orange County star, who is current embroiled in a vicious custody battle with her ex-husband Simon Barney, got fired up on Twitter. When a fan suggested she was a hypocrite for criticizing Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley while dealing with her own family issues, Tamra went OFF. Bridgette Ramirez wrote on the social media site: “@TamraBarney Would Talk About @SladeSmiley ALL The Time, But Now That Roles Are Reversed … She DOESN’T Like It! @GretchenRossi #Karma” The mother of four snapped back unabashedly: “Oh plz. That f–ker is a deadbeat with a sick son. Keep supporting him, it makes you look Real good!” Tamra Barney to Gretchen Rossi: You Nasty B!tch The Tweet was quickly deleted … but ouch. Smiley’s ex-wife took him to court multiple times in an effort to make the Bravo star pay for the medical treatment of his young son, who was diagnosed with cancer. However, if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you saw Slade make a real effort to get out of debt and be there for his son last season. For that reason more than her own situation, Tamra Barney may have gone too far with that Tweet, no matter what bad blood exists between herself and Gretchen. Do you agree? Sound off below … Real Housewives: Before They Were Reality Stars! 1. Tamra Barney: Before The Real Housewives OCs Tamra was quite the bodacious bikini babe. Still is!

Yes, Yes, My Precious! Hobbit Trilogy Confirmed

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

That sound you hear is the cheering of  hairy-footed Tolkien addicts everywhere. At 11:30 a.m. Monday morning, the lord of The Lord of the Rings franchise Peter Jackson confirmed via his Facebook page that The Hobbit would indeed be a trilogy. “It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made,” Jackson wrote. “Recently Fran [Walsh], Phil [Boyens] and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie — and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life.  All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.'” “We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance,” Jackson continued.  “The richness of the story of  The Hobbit , as well as some of the related material in the appendices of  The Lord of the Rings , allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.” You could almost hear trumpets sounding when Jackson added: “So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three. It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, “a tale that grew in the telling.” Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

PGA Awards: And Just Like That, The Artist Locks Up Oscar Season

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Let’s not belabor this: The Artist claimed Best Picture at Saturday’s Producers Guild Awards, all but affirming its eventual Best Picture win at the Academy Awards. Other winners included The Adventures of Tintin in the animated category and Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest in docs. Congrats to all! Is it March yet? The winner of the PGA’s top award has gone on to repeat at the Oscars nearly 75 percent of the time over the last two decades, most recently doing so last year following The King’s Speech’s surprising victory over The Social Network . The Weinstein Company never looked back in 2011, and it won’t look back now. Next stop: Tuesday’s Oscar nominations, and at this point for Michel Hazanavicius’s silent film, it’s not a matter of “if” it will earn recognition, but “how much?” Check back tomorrow for my predictions — or just move on to fantasy baseball or something. It’s going to be a long month ahead. [ PGA ]
