Source: Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Sorry To Bother You was one of the wildest and most talked about movies of 2018 and its star Lakeith Stanfield was all for the full frontal scene the script originally called for — but as you’ll see in this EXCLUSIVE clip, director Boots Riley decided the ween shot wasn’t necessary after all because Stanfield was so gifted in other ways. Twentieth Century Fox hit it out the park with this one. If you haven’t seen it yet (WHY?) we thought you should know that today (Oct. 23) marks the home release of Sorry To Bother You . The film became available on Digital and Movies Anywhere beginning October 9 and on Blu-ray and DVD, today. Watch the clip below.

Niecy Nash Stars In Hilarious Satire About A Hotline For Racists

Posted on October 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read the original here:

Source: Amanda Edwards / Getty In conjunction with the New York Times, Niecy Nash stars in a hilarious sendup of the recent rash of white people calling the police on Black folks for doing the absolute least. It is part of a brilliant op-ed piece that illustrates, with humor, how harmful and dangerous the action is to people of color. From the Times : In this satirical infomercial, the comedian and actress Niecy Nash plays the inventor of a new hotline, 1-844-WYT-FEAR. The video advertises a phone service for white people to call when they can’t cope with black people living their lives near them. The hotline is up and running, so give it a ring and spread the word. (Seriously.) The phenomenon of white people harassing African-Americans going about their day is nothing new, but with the ubiquity of smartphones and social media, everyone can now see how these injustices are played out and lead to anxiety for and material harm to people of color. And this problem is bigger than a few unreasonable white people. Racist stereotypes are baked into our society. Check out the spoof video below. — Photo: WENN

Breaking News: 18 Dead In Paris Terror Attack! [Video]

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

NYTimes : Shootings in central Paris on Friday night have left several people dead and wounded, French television reported, while an explosion near Paris at the country’s main sports stadium forced the hasty evacuation of President François Hollande. The explosion occurred during a France-Germany soccer match. The shooting broke out at a concert hall. Some reports said as many as 18 had been killed in the 10th and 11th Arrondissements of Paris. Others said hostages had been taken. It was unclear whether there was a link in any of the violence to terrorism but French media reported that Kalashnikov rifles were involved in the shootings — a favored weapon of militants who have attacked targets in France — and that many rounds were fired. The shootings occurred near the former headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical newspaper where shootings in January traumatized France. Police sirens sounded throughout central Paris on Friday night. NYTimes :

Leah Messer and Corey Simms: Inside the Breakup and Battle For the Twins

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s really over for Leah Messer and Corey Simms . That much has been established at this point. It’s just a question of why, and what will happen to the couple’s poor little twin girls in the aftermath of the split. OK! reports that shaking hands, Leah Messer lit a cigarette to stop herself from crying as she read her husband Corey’s Facebook flirtation with another girl. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time,” the message read. The words broke Leah’s heart, and tears streamed down her face as her friend Kayla tried to comfort her – even though she had already filed for divorce days earlier. Just the same, the Teen Mom 2 star is having a hard time facing the fact that her six-month marriage to Corey, the father of her twins, Ali and Aleeah, is over. The battle between the young couple is about to get uglier, with Corey expected to ask for sole custody, and Corey’s parents prepared to help him financially. Apparently there are “explosive secrets” that will determine who gets the girls, and according to fellow celebrity news magazine In Touch , abuse allegations. We have no doubt this is a messed up situation, but putting Leah on the same cover as Jenelle Evans ? That’s gotta hurt almost as bad as Corey’s Facebooking. [Photos: In Touch Weekly, OK!]

Perform This Way: Weird Al Parodies Lady Gaga!

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Weird Al Yankovic, whose career comprised of parodying hit songs has lasted longer and been more lucrative than many of his subjects, has released a new gem. “Perform This Way” is Al’s take on Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” and includes plenty of the satirical lyrical wordplay that are Yankovic’s hilarious trademarks. Its release follows myriad reports that Gaga blocked the parody – which she can’t even do, legally, but Al always gets permission from the stars in good faith. In any case, Gaga’s manager nixed it without telling her. Word got back to Gaga, who was not pleased. The manager is sorry. Gaga loves it. Everyone is happy. Here’s Weird Al’s “Perform This Way,” his homage to Gaga, with lyrics: Weird Al – Perform This Way (Lady Gaga Parody)
