Posted on March 26, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Pop queen Mariah Carey announced yesterday that she is canceling an upcoming concert in Brussels due to safety concerns in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks the city suffered earlier this week. The concert was set to take place on Easter Sunday, which also happens to be Mariah’s 46th birthday. The “Hero” songstress issued the following statement on Twitter and Instagram: “I love my fans in Brussels and at this time I am being advised to cancel my show for the safety of my fans, my band, crew and everyone involved with the tour. “I hope to see you soon and send my prayers and eternal love, laughter and light to my Lambs.” While some fans expressed anger and disappointment, most were supportive of her decision. “You are letting the terrorists win!” wrote one fan via Twitter. “You’re doing the right thing. Safety first. Love you,” tweeted another. During a concert in London earlier this week, Adele  dedicated an emotional performance of “Make You Feel My Love” to the terror victims in Brussels. Audience members waved their phone lights in the air as they sang along with her. “I don’t think I’ve ever actually been so moved in my life at one of my shows,” Adele said following the performance. Mariah is currently in the midst of her Sweet Sweet Fantasy European Tour and will take the stage in Denmark on Tuesday. View Slideshow: 44 Beautiful Photos of Mariah Carey

Even Judge Can’t Figure Out Casey Anthony Probation Situation

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this week, Casey Anthony temporarily avoided a hearing regarding the terms of her probation stemming from a Florida check fraud conviction. Judge Belvin Perry said he’d need more time to consider the facts before ruling on whether Casey must return home to serve probation in that case. “I’ll be the first to admit this is not a very clear cut issue … you’ve given me a lot to think about,” Perry said, calling it “a legal maze” and “a mess”. Anthony who was acquitted last month in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, is believed to be in Ohio and didn’t attend the hearing. Her attorneys argue that she should not be required to return because of safety concerns, and because she served the probation behind bars. It’s as confusing as it sounds, if not more so. On January 25, 2010, Anthony was given probation by Judge Stan Strickland after she’d pleaded guilty to charges she stole checks from a friend. The confusion set in as Florida’s Department of Corrections thought Anthony could serve the probation while in custody awaiting her murder trial. Strickland said last week he wanted Anthony to serve the probation after the sentence, not during. Last week, Perry said he’d wanted the same. However, Department of Corrections probation supervisor Susan Finigan testified that proper procedures were practiced in Anthony’s case. Finigan added that while it’s not the usual arrangement to have someone in custody serving their probation, “It does happen on occasion.” The Department of Corrections therefore deemed that Anthony’s probation was concluded on January 24, long before her murder acquittal . Anthony’s legal team claimed their client’s life would be in grave danger if the state forces her to serve a year’s probation for check fraud. “This thing is over and done,” her Florida-based lawyer, Jose Baez, said. “And for some reason things seem to keep coming up again.” Judge Perry did not say when he would announce his ruling.
