HP CEO abruptly resigns amid harassment claims

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hewlett-Packard Co. ousted CEO Mark Hurd on Friday for falsifying expense reports and other documents to conceal a secret relationship with a former contractor and help her get paid for work she didn't do. Until the 53-year-old abruptly resigned, sending HP's stock tumbling after hours, he had a nearly bulletproof reputation on Wall Street. During his five-year stewardship of the world's biggest maker of personal computers and printers, its stock price had doubled, boosting its market value more than $40 billion and it became the world's No. 1 technology company by revenue. HP said Hurd was forced out after the company discovered he had a relationship with a woman who worked with HP on marketing matters. The company said he falsified expense reports and other financial documents to conceal the relationship and help get the contractor paid for work she didn't do. But the company said its internal probe found Hurd didn't violate its sexual harassment policy. High-profile Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred said she is representing the woman and “there was no affair and no intimate sexual relationship” between her client and Hurd. Allred, reached by The Associated Press late Friday, declined to comment further. The allegations were first disclosed Friday, though the company learned of them several weeks ago. Hurd said it was a “painful decision” to leave but acknowledged there were “instances in which I did not live up to the standards and principles of trust, respect and integrity that I have espoused at HP.” He will get a $12.2 million severance payment. HP said it became aware of the relationship several weeks ago when the former contractor accused Hurd and the company of sexual harassment. An investigation found that HP's sexual harassment policy wasn't violated but that its standards of business conduct were. — — — — — — — — — — — — SR — — — — — — — — — — – At least stock prices doubled while he was in charge.

Eminem And Rihanna’s ‘Love The Way You Lie’ Video: Love On Fire

Posted on August 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan play a couple whose passion turns violent in the dramatic clip. By Shaheem Reid Eminem Photo: Jeff Kravitz/Getty Images Eminem ‘s new video for “Love the Way You Lie” tells the story of two lovers (played by Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan ) whose passion turns violent as their relationship vacillates between ecstasy and agony. The cinematic video, which debuted Thursday night (August 5) on MTV, starts with a close-up of the song’s co-star, Rihanna , singing the chorus in front of a burning house. We then see Fox sitting in the living room of a home with a flame in the palms of her hands. From there, Eminem raps in a field. The video transitions back to the story of seemingly doomed lovers, and we see Fox and Monaghan lying in bed asleep. The first to wake, Fox sees the name “Cindy” written on her boyfriend’s hand and a phone number underneath. She angrily wakes him up, and scenes of them fighting and then making love intertwine, showing how their relationship goes from one extreme to the next. As the second verse starts, we get a flashback of how the couple met: in a bar. The attraction was instant, and they proceed to shoplift vodka from a liquor store. Later, we return to the bar, as Monaghan hits a man over the head with a bottle just because he was playing pool with Fox. Toward the end of the second verse, Eminem joins Rihanna, performing in front of the burning house. As the video progresses, we see more of the war going on between the two lovers. A flame eventually covers Fox, Monaghan and Eminem in three separate instances. The video’s last shot goes right back to the beginning of the clap, as the lovers lie in bed asleep. “I think we tried as hard as we could to not glorify the violence, to try and explain that this was a relationship that is by no means ideal and a relationship that probably should have ended a lot sooner than it did,” Monaghan told MTV News recently. “The concept of ‘Love the Way You Lie’ was essentially a look at the relationship that Eminem was in with his wife, Kim, so I kind of felt like I was playing Eminem a little bit, and Megan Fox was kind of playing Kim. “It’s the story of them getting to know each other, and it’s the story of their tumultuous relationship, and it was the story of the breakdown of their relationship,” he continued. “Ultimately, what I think he’s trying to say in the song … is that he should have walked away a little bit quicker than he did and not let it get as messy as it did.”

T.I. Records Six New King Uncaged Tracks With Kanye West

Posted on August 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I just left Hawaii with Kanye,’ Tip said on the red carpet of ‘Takers’ premiere. By Shaheem Reid T.I. arrives at the premiere of “Takers” in Hollywood on August 4 Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Call it the reunion of the King of the South and Martin Louis the King Jr. The last time T.I. hooked up with Kanye West , the two made the undeniable hip-hop anthem “Swagger Like Us.” And the pair recently took half a dozen more shots at making another classic. You can add the Louis Vuitton Don to the list of acclaimed producers to work on Tip’s next LP, King Uncaged (due in September). “I just left Hawaii with Kanye,” Tip said last night in Hollywood on the red carpet for the world premiere of “Takers.” “We did six records.” The King of the South recently told MTV News how excited he was about going in the lab with some other track emperors. “We got a few big, big, big sessions coming up next week: Timbaland, Swizz Beatz,” T.I. revealed . “I’m trying to show up and show out every time.” By early July, the collaborations, at least the ones with Swizz Beatz , were done. “What we just did is bigger than those,” Swizz said over the Fourth of July weekend about the two new records he produced for Tip. “It’s bigger than ‘Swing Ya Rag,’ it’s bigger than all of those. We’re growing as artists. That’s one of the things I wanted to focus on with Tip, was: ‘We did that already. We don’t need to compete with nobody. You up there.’ Everything we gotta do, we gotta stay leaders. That’s how we got to where we at now. He gave me his OK on that. Gave me the clear lane. And we’re gone. Trust me on that. The first joint, it’s nice. Crazy! The second joint is taking the world over. It’s a positive message, and I’ll let him explain the rest of the story, because he would be glad to. [It’s] very musical, but still with that swag in it.” Related Photos ‘Takers’ Premiere Seizes Hollywood Related Artists T.I. Kanye West

Dominic Monaghan Dishes On Kissing Megan Fox In Eminem Video

Posted on August 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Lost’ actor smooches with Fox in ‘Love the Way You Lie,’ premiering Thursday. By Gil Kaufman Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan on the set of the music video for “Love the Way You Lie” Photo: Eric Ford/ On Location News When shooting the clip for the chart-topping hit “Love the Way You Lie,” it helped that Dominic Monaghan was a huge Eminem fan. But it also didn’t hurt that the shoot called for him to engage in a make-out session with former “Transformers” hottie Megan Fox. “What is it like kissing Megan Fox? It’s all right,” he laughed. “No I’m just kidding. It’s fine, it’s work. She’s married. I have a lot of respect for marriage.” Aware of her recent nuptials to Brian Austin Green, Monaghan revealed that one of the first things he said to Fox when they got on set was, “Look, I know that you’re married and I don’t want to do anything inappropriate. And she said, ‘It’s all kind of inappropriate, huh?’ ” In a theme the rapper has come back to time and again, Monaghan said the concept of the clip revolves around domestic violence and Eminem’s tumultuous relationship with his twice-ex wife, Kim. “It’s the story of them getting to know each other and it’s the story of their tumultuous relationship and it’s the story of the breakdown of their relationship,” Monaghan explained of the video, which will premiere on Thursday night on MTV, hot on the heels of Eminem’s eight VMA nominations . In order to tap into the sometimes contentious camaraderie that Marshall and Kim have shared over the years, Monaghan hearkened back to some of the most notorious couples of all time. “We’re supposed to be desperately in love, like Sid and Nancy, John and Yoko … Eminem and Kim,” he said. “Though I tried as hard as I could to make her laugh and have fun with her. I think we got on pretty well.” In one scene in a bar, Monaghan described a scenario where he has to roll up on another gentleman who is talking to Fox’s character, and the actress asked what she should call him when he comes over and is about to hit the guy. “I said, call me Slim,” he said. ” ‘Cuz that’s who I am essentially. I was playing Slim Shady and trying as hard as I could to be Slim Shady.” For motivation, the German-born, British-bred actor said he listened to Em’s first two albums a lot and tried to get into a “nasty, dirty … white trash” frame of mind, strutting around the set in either no shirt or a dirty cut-off T-shirt and thinking about one of his favorite snacks, Twinkies. Fox donated her fee for appearing in the clip to the Sojourn House, a shelter for abused women and children. Don’t forget to tune in to MTV on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET/PT for the premiere of Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie,” and check MTVNews.com for full coverage of the clip. Related Artists Eminem

Hilary Duff Shows Off Her Thick Manly Arms of the Day

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hilary Duff is manning the fuck up…maybe it is for the wedding, but I think it’s more for the relationship. You see, that’s what happens when you date a homosexual hockey player who doesn’t want to be out as a fag but instead wants a young starlet to lure in the teammates her fantasizes about for gangbangs…cuz without her…shit is just gay….instead just gay enough for dude to get his fix without the others knowing… I have a feeling that she’s not going to lose the chance to have a billionaire heir husband, and if it means bulking up, strappin-on or gluing prosthetic balls on so dude feels comfortable enough to cum while fucking her up the ass from behind…in the end it will be worth it… So here are some pics of her ripped muscles, cuz her fiance can’t be the only closet case who appreciates a bulky woman to help suppress gayness…Enjoy.

Roberto Martinez, Ali Fedotowsky Plan Spring Wedding

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

She’s no longer The Bachelorette after an emotional season finale, but if all goes according to plan, Ali Fedotowsky will soon go by another name: The Bride. Hunky Roberto Martinez popped the question Monday night on ABC, and is apparently serious about making the Massachusetts native his wife in short order. “In the spring, we’re thinking,” Ali said when asked about when she’d like to marry her new fiance, who she chose over the broken-hearted Chris Lambton . While their wedding will likely be a big event – “Her mom wants like 700 people,” Martinez said – the couple already extended an invitation to a VIP guest. We’re not talking about host-pimp Chris Harrison, either. Asked by Jimmy Kimmel if they’d invite President Obama, who was not invited to Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding , Fedotowsky replied, “Absolutely, if they’ll come.” We wouldn’t bank on that, but either way, it looks like a wedding actually taking place for these lovebirds is 20 times more likely than, say, Jake and Vienna. Spending five days together for every 10 days apart while the show aired, because of demands of the show, their relationship evolved out of necessity. “We played games,” Ali said of entertainment in sequestration. “We made up handshakes.” Roberto adds, “I learned how I’m supposed to eat popcorn.” So there you go. Ali and Roberto are still together. But will they make it to the altar? The show’s track record is not good, but the pair is not worried. “We have so much faith in our relationship,” says Fedotowsky. “Every day we tell each other, ‘You are my priority. We’re going to put each other first.’” Will Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez last?

Mel Gibson Dumped … By Leonardo DiCaprio

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In perhaps the first sign that Mel Gibson’s career is starting to disintegrate, Leonardo DiCaprio is apparently dissociating himself from Gibson, Reel Movie News says. DiCaprio is dropping out of a partnership with Gibson to develop a period epic about Vikings. We highly doubt that timing of Leo ditching Mel is a coincidence, either. The news comes on the heels of the Mel Gibson tapes – his widely publicized racist, sexist, rage-filled conversations and messages with now-ex Oksana Grigorieva . “Not a chance,” a source close to the Inception star responded when asked about the possibility of DiCaprio collaborating with Mel Gibson on the Viking pic. Don’t expect these two to link up professionally anytime soon . Without elaborating, the source added that “Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with these days and Mel Gibson is not one of them.” Gibson was set to produce the film along with Graham King, and Oscar winning screenwriter William Monahan ( The Departed ) was going to pen the script. But now that shocking, disturbing details of Mel’s personal life have become public thanks to Oksana, it’s hard to see his reputation not being tarnished. Whether the tranquilizers make him nuts or not, he needs help. This is not good news for Gibson, whose last starring role (after an eight-year hiatus) in Edge of Darkness failed to win over audiences at the box office. Is this the beginning of the end for Mel’s career?

Should Chris Lambton Be the Next Bachelor?

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Cape Cod Chris. The nice, handsome 33-year-old who moved home from NYC to Dennis, Mass., to be with his ailing mother won over millions on The Bachelorette . Unfortunately, someone else won Ali Fedotowsky over more. Suffice it to say, while we have nothing against Ali’s fiance, Chris Lambton would have been a good choice too, and a graceful exit Monday only boosted his stock. With the possible exception of Jason Mesnick, there’s never been a more popular runner-up. We guarantee a starring role on The Bachelor is his if he so chooses. We can’t see the show selecting Jake Pavelka as its star had there been interest from Kiptyn Locke … or Reid Rosenthal. But this season, it’s Chris and only Chris. Chris and Ali hit it off in Lisbon, Portugal . Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez seem to have found genuine love and happiness on the ABC franchise. Should Chris take a shot at doing the same? Vote: Should Chris Lambton be the next star of The Bachelor?

Elisabetta Canalis: George Clooney Loves Me!

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

While Elisabetta Canalis is at the center of a cocaine and prostitution scandal , the gorgeous Italian model often finds herself answering questions about nothing but her year-long relationship with George Clooney. Simply put, “there are some people who just don’t want to see me happy,” Canalis says in the new Italian Vanity Fair . Such criticism causes the aspiring actress – she recurs on TNT’s Leverage as a character referred to as “The Italian Woman” – to feel insecure at times, but Clooney never fails to make his feelings clear. “If you are loved then you always feel great,” she said. “[George] reassures me all the time. He is very close. I feel more embraced than ever before.” Adding that Clooney has “given color back to my life,” Canalis said she doesn’t understand why so many seem so jealous of her relationship. (THG note: We know why. Just take a look at your boyfriend, Elisabetta.) ”I know some women, very high profile women, who have taken his picture off their computer desktop,” she says. “Maybe I should not get so stressed over it. At the end though the best way to confront this envy is to be happy, but it’s just that they won’t forgive.”

A Royal Mess: Prince William Cheated on Kate Middleton!

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

Forget the Royal Wedding of the Century . We may be looking at an all-time royal mess. Despite engagement rumors floating over her head, Kate Middleton is reportedly considering an end to her relationship with Prince William. The reason? A four-year old photo that proves he cheated on her with British singer Natasha Hamilton. It’s unclear why this picture, which was published in tabloids at the time, is causing a stir now – but insiders say it’s due to Kate’s realization that William has been “disrespectful” to her for a long time, and will continue to be even if they get married. “Kate is now being warned by royal courtiers that she must be prepared for William to follow in his philandering father’s footsteps and take a mistress,” a source told The National Enquirer . The tabloid even quotes one of the Queen’s advisors, who allegedly said to Middleton: “It won’t be IF he does, my dear. It will be WHEN he does – and then you must simply turn a blind eye.” Kate felt “physically ill” at this possibility, the source reports, causing her to rethink the wedding. We have no idea why. According to Mel Gibson, a woman’s place is on her knees , not on some high horse. Give William a break, girlfriend!
