Hot for Teacher Lawsuit: Suspended Student Seeks $2 Million for "Civil Rights" Violation

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Joseph Corlett, a 57-year old former Oakland University student, filed a federal lawsuit Friday against the school because he believes his right to free speech was infringed upon after a journal essay submitted for class resulted in a suspension. Corlett was banned from campus for a paper he handed in titled “Hot for Teacher,” named for the 1984 Van Halen single. Van Halen – “Hot for Teacher” (Live) In the 2011 essay – which the university labeled as a form of “intimidation” – Corlett referred to his professor as “tall, blond, stacked, skirt, heels, fingernails, smart, articulate, smile.” Along with a three-semester suspension, Corlett was forced to undergo sensitivity training. He was also refunded his tuition for the duration of the suspension. Corlett, who insists his instructor told him no topic was off-limits, told The Detroit News from his home in Florida: “This is all about civil rights. I can’t, as an American in good conscience, stand by while such outrageous and egregious violations of civil rights transpire in higher education. I couldn’t sleep at night.” We’re guessing the $2 million might help with that. “He’s filing this suit on his behalf of himself and on the behalf of students who attend Oakland and possibly will attend Oakland University in the future to ensure that their free speech rights are upheld,” said his Detroit-based attorney, Alari K. Adams.

Lindsay Lohan Skips Flight to L.A., is Not Smart

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan missed her scheduled flight to Los Angeles last night, despite a court date she is required to attend looming Monday a.m. She must be there in person or a bench warrant will be issued. The actress was supposed to fly back at 9 p.m. EST last night but skipped it, opting to stay at a club in New York to see a band called City of the Sun. She is now scrambling to get a flight to L.A. later today. Let’s just say that her track record with flights is about as good as her history behind the wheel, or with guys, or with movies ever since Mean Girls . It’s not a sign of her taking the court date seriously, even as she faces eight months in jail at least if convicted of lying to police and/or violating probation. Then again, would you expect anything better with her?

Britney just can’t get right… Britney Spears Said To Be Neglecting Her Kids For Work And Romance According to the National Enquirer : Britney Spears has put motherhood on the back burner as she juggles her new TV career and her love life. In fact, a source says that she’s spent so lettle time with sonds Sean, 7, and Jayden, 6, recently that wehn they see her on TV, they call her “Britney” instead on “Mommy!” Damn, tough crowd. The 30-year-old pop princess had a whirlwind summer jetting around the country to film auditions for her first season on “The X Factor,” which premiered Sept. 12. But instead of seeing her kids during her downtime, Britney has been enjoying romantic dinners and weekend getaways with her fiance, Jason trawick , a close source revealed. He must be chopping Brit-Brit’s flabby mommy cakes juice box down to smithereens! “Its as if she’s tired of being a mom because she’s so caught up in her new-found TV stardom,” the source explained. “She’s losing touch with those kids.” Although “K-Fraud” Federline has full custody of the kids, it’s said that Britney has been blowing off her usual visits. “…Britney has been turning down her scheduled visits,” the source continued “She says she’s too tired or too stressed. It’s shameful!” According to the source the last time Britney saw Sean and Jayden was in mid-July. The snitch goes on to say: “These days, Britney’s kids are more comfortable being around their Grandma Lynne than they are with Britney. Lynne has taken on the role of mommy for the boys.” Britney likes her new life with Jason,” the source added. “She seems to be forgetting what’s really important.” Get it together Britney, you little country-fried, barefoot, beyotch!

Manny Pacquiao Clarifies Same-Sex Marriage Comments

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Manny Pacquiao is standing by his criticism of same-sex marriage, but denies giving some of the strongly-worded quotes in a recent article about his views. The athlete, regarded by many as the best pound-for-pound boxer on Earth, criticized gay marriage in the wake of President Obama’s recent support of it. Pacquiao DOES NOT, however, believe gay people should be put to death, or treated intolerantly, blaming the media for distorting his take on the subject. Manny has been under scrutiny since the National Conservative Examiner published an interview in which he said that gay marriage is against the will of God. The article includes a reference to Leviticus 20:13, which says gays “must be put to death.” But Pacquiao says he never said that or referenced the verse. The boxer said in a statement, “I didn’t say that, it’s a lie … I didn’t even know that quote from Leviticus because I haven’t read the Book of Leviticus yet.” He also made a point to say, “I’m not against gay people … I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way.” “What I’m critical of [sic] are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.” Gay marriage :

Bobby Brown: Whitney Houston Would’ve Wanted Me to Perform the Night She Died

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Recalling the night Whitney Houston died in her hotel room, Bobby Brown tells Ellen DeGeneres that he performed because she would’ve wanted him to. Despite many critics feeling it was poor taste for her ex-husband to perform at his scheduled show February 11, Brown has zero regrets … big surprise. “I was in Mississippi performing and I got the call. Of course, I tried to get a flight. Tried to rent a jet. Whatever I had to do,” he told Ellen Wednesday. Bobby Brown on Ellen “But it was impossible. So I knew the best thing that she would’ve wanted me to do was perform. You know, we are performers. That’s what we did.” “That’s what we do and she would want the best for me.” In retrospect, she might have wanted several other things from Brown that we don’t even need to get into here. Nevertheless, Bobby is guilt free. Which isn’t to say he wasn’t saddened. Brown broke down backstage pre-show and declined to join his New Edition bandmates for the opening song. Once he took the stage, he shouted, “I love you, Whitney!” and blew a kiss to the sky, looking visibly teary at the tragic news he’d learned hours ago. One week later, Brown peaced out of her funeral early with his family in tow, then showed up to perform that night at Foxwoods in Connecticut. Somehow, Alicia Etheridge plans to marry this guy.

Get Well Soon: Adele Cancels Tour Dates To Get Surgery To Repair Her Vocal Chords

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Adele’s gotta get that voice that’s earned her millions together. Adele, the British soul singer who has dominated the music charts in the United States and Britain all year with her album “21” (XL/Columbia), will undergo surgery to repair her vocal cords and has canceled her scheduled concerts for the rest of the year, Columbia Records announced. The singer has been plagued with medical problems related to her voice. Early this month she canceled a tour of several American cities – the second time during the year she had been forced to cancel concerts here — saying she had suffered a hemorrhage near her vocal cords and had been ordered to take an extended rest. But on Friday Columbia said in a statement that Adele would have surgery to fix the problem. Though she is expected to make a full recovery, the label said that “doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments.” Ticket-holders for the canceled concerts — six shows in Britain — will receive refunds, the statement said. We hope she gets it together. We need that voice in our lives because she has infinite jams. Sometiiiiiimes it lassssssts in loooooove and sometimes it hurrrrrts insteaaaaad… Source

Sugarland Plan Indiana State Fair Memorial

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

Band sends out prayers for ‘peace and healing’ families of five killed and dozens injured in Saturday’s stage collapse. By Jocelyn Vena Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles (file) Photo: Rick Diamond/ Getty Images Following last Saturday’s stage collapse before their scheduled concert at the Indiana State Fair , Sugarland have announced they will hold a memorial to honor the five killed and dozens injured in the accident. The band announced on their website that they are working on a memorial. “We are in the process of planning a private memorial in Indiana to honor those fans who died. We would first like to hold space so that their families can have time to go through their own services and memorials. Until that time we are holding vigil for them,” they wrote. “We join them on their mourning benches. And we stand in the gap asking God to offer them peace and healing. For those suffering from injury we hold you up with prayers for complete healing of your own.” In addition to their plans to honor those lost and injured, Sugarland also announced they will resume their tour later this week. “We are also addressing our own specific healing,” the statement continues. “Our road family experienced its traumas together. While we all scattered to our given families for their comfort, the trauma we experienced together binds us in a unique way that we share only with each other, and those who were there. There is healing in our being together. There is healing in our working together. For this reason we are planning to get back on the road this weekend, beginning with our scheduled show in Albuquerque this Thursday, August 18th. The emotions have us yearning to be close to each other immediately. The logistics have us needing to replace all of our instruments and equipment. (The set is a loss that is insignificant in light of the tragedy.)” A memorial service was held on Monday at the fairgrounds where the accident took place. According to USAToday.com , 500 people attended the service, including Governor Mitch Daniels. The website for the fair, which reopened on Monday, announced that some shows, like the Train/Maroon 5 show, have been moved elsewhere on site, while Janet Jackson’s and Lady Antebellum’s performances have been canceled all together.

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Faizon Love laid hands on somebody late Thursday night… or maybe Friday morning… no one is sure who it was or exactly what happened. But as of yesterday morning, he was still in jail. Then yesterday, he bailed himself out and went back to work as if nothing had ever happened. Faizon Love bailed out of a Seattle jail Saturday afternoon and went straight to a comedy club where he was the scheduled headliner, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. The funnyman – famous for roles in Elf and Couple’s Retreat – was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence by Seattle cops early Friday morning. Love was released from the Kings County Jail at 4.01pm Saturday and the popular comedy venue, The Parlor, confirmed to us that he will be performing at 7:30 pm. And still, no one knows what the hell happened. Except that he was initially denied bail, and then eventually had to come up with 10Gs to spring himself. SMH. Source
