The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Did Shannon Beador Apologize?

Posted on October 30, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Shannon Beador’s great apology tour kicked off on Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.  The 54-year-old had previously lashed out at her castmates when everyone admitted that her behavior at the top of the trip to Jamaica was not the best.  Who can blame them for trashing her? She’s been so hostile to just about everyone who wants to help her out.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and after a day of hiding, Beador rejoined the ladies and opened up about her thoughts.  “To address the elephant in the room, I appreciate you guys giving me the time and space because I’m a person when I’m upset, I need to take a step back,” Shannon declared as though she was addressing her lemmings. “After last night, I am incredibly hurt. I know there are discussions that have to be had at some point, and we can do that. But I needed time.” That’s when she finally admitted that she was going through a lot of things.  “I get it, we all have stuff on our plate, but for me, in my life, it is more than I’ve ever had on my plate,” she said with a stern look on her face.  While most of the women just nodded to shut Shannon up because she’d already sucked most of the fun out of the vacation, Emily Simpson was quick to point out that Shannon refused to support her.  “It’s a fair criticism, and I apologize for that,’ Shannon told her, but there was no confirmation whether Shannon was going to make progress with both Emily and Gina.  The biggest surprise here was that Kelly later revealed she was mad about the way Shannon handled things.  “Thanks for finally coming, I’ve been calling you. I was worried about you,” said Kelly with tears in her eyes. “All you had to say was to have manners and to be kind and nice. You could have just said ‘I’m here.’ It was hurtful, Shannon, I was worried about you,” Kelly complained.  The biggest concern for Kelly was that Shannon has long strived for people to have manners, noting that it was “ironic that she’s the one with the least manners.” “She went through all these cotillions, and it’s like, girl, you don’t have any manners,” Kelly continued. “Shannon has no idea of the stress that she’s put on us today. She has no idea how worried we were, and that’s the kind of apology we’re going to get?” Kelly fumed. Gina was up next to air her side of the story, and it quickly returned to the fact that Shannon was putting up a wall.  “It was upsetting all around. I didn’t realize all this was going on. Honestly, I was just trying to break through. I was trying to be your friend,” Gina said to her enemy. “I have a very difficult time hearing that you’re going through a divorce and you’re still attracted to your husband, and he’s still your best friend because that’s what I wanted in my life,” Shannon finally admitted. “When you said that I was judging you, that wasn’t my intent. My intent was just to impart the experience and the information because I started my process with a very optimistic attitude,” Shannon continued. That allowed Gina to finally open up to Shannon in a way she never could have before.  “I’m not sitting here and saying everything’s perfect and that’s why I’m getting divorced,” she said. “Like, no, obviously not. It’s a transition. It’s really hard. I hear you guys, but this is my journey. I just want to be respected for it, you know?” Gina said. Despite all of the arguing, the ladies were stronger by the end of the trip. It remains to be seen if grudges will be taken back to Orange County with them.  What are your thoughts on all of this?

American Horror Story Recap: The Traitor

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Wednesday’s episode found our favorite coven of witches desperately trying to find some allies as the war against Michael Langdon aka The Antichrist loomed.  Cordelia turned to Dinah Stevens, the witch who we know is in Outpost 3 in the present in this time jumping series, and asked her for a meeting.  The meeting was with Papa Legba, but Dinah was not about to set that up until she got some cold hard cash for the inconvenience of summoning the voodoo devil.  Cordelia parted with $100,000 and got a lot more than she bargained for when she realized that Nan was working with the elusive villain in hell.  “I really like hell,” she admitted to Cordelia. “It’s fun! … I make trouble.” Cordelia’s plan sounded rather simple: She wanted Papa Legba to open the gates of hell long enough to trap Michael in there for the rest of eternity.  While Papa Legba seemed to like the idea of Michael being all locked up in his realm, he said she would need to give him something in return.  All of her girls would have to make their way to the dimension, presumably so he could harness their powers. But that was not enough for Cordelia to agree to the offer.  Instead, she pleaded with Dinah after Papa Legba exited the scene, but Dinah was open about that being the only way out for them.  While Cordelia’s plan fizzled out, we got to witness a whole new plan thanks to the addition of Bubbles McGee, Joan Collins’ second character this season.  The washed-up movie star could tell what people were thinking, so Madison reached out to her in a blatant attempt to make the first strike against the men of Michael’s school.  Myrtle and Bubbles indulged in a dinner party with the warlocks, and that’s when Bubbles learned the frightening truth about John Henry: He was murdered, and both men knew all about it.  John Henry was brought back to life courtesy of Mallory and Zoe harnessing their magical abilities, and John Henry had a revenge plan in mind.  Cordelia intercepted Ariel and Baldwin’s plan to send powder through the air to kill her and her girls and noted that the idea was stolen from a woman.  Those warlocks switched the gender and set out to steal the idea for themselves. In any case, they were burned at the stake alongside Miss Mead.  John Henry returned to do the lightning, but it didn’t seem to faze Miss Mead who was chanting that it was a rebirth of sorts for her.  This episode was transitional more than anything. It set the tone for what’s to come in the coming weeks as the battle against the Antichrist gets underway.  What are your thoughts on the latest twists and turns? Hit the comments below!

Vicki Gunvalson Slams Castmates: You Losers Are Obsessed With Shannon Beador!

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Maybe a year and a half ago, Shannon Beador was blaming Vicki Gunvalson’s rumor-mongering for her weight gain. Now, things are very different. On the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County , Shannon Beador flipped out . Vicki is riding to Shannon’s defense, saying that the situation was unfair — and was Gina and Emily’s fault. Vicki Gunvalson took to her Bravo blog to defend Shannon. First and foremost, Vicki set the stage for Shannon snapping the way that she did. “We were all miserable in Jamaica, as it was way too hot,” Vicki shares. She writes: “And the hotel rooms did not have air conditioning due to an air compressor being broken.” (I wouldn’t wish for even my worst enemy to be in Virginia without air conditioning. Jamaica? I’d have quit the show and flown back right away) “They were able to eventually accommodate us on the last few days and moved us to a new villa where it was nice and cool,” Vicki says. “I think all of our nerves were shot,” Vicki explains. “And things heated up and got out of control.” Now that she’s explained everyone’s frayed nerves and Shannon’s ponytail, she starts in on the actual conflict. “I think we should have calmly discussed our concerns or issues with Shannon, without going on the attack mode,” Vicki writes. “I’ve been on the receiving end of this type of argument when people go after you,” she says. “And it’s not fun by any means.” Vicki wants to make it very clear that she was not a deliberate participant in this, and that her concern about Shannon appearing to be drinking alone was genuine. “I told Shannon just today that she is in a much better place than she was six months ago when this was filmed,” Vicki adds. “And,” she continues. “I’m proud of her strength and accomplishments.” “It was taken out of context when I said Shannon has ‘rich girl problems’ when she was talking about having to move again,” Vicki writes. “She was not discussing the amount of support she receives,” Vicki clarifies. “Or that she was ungrateful for it.” Vicki says: “she was just saying she just got settled in her home and now she had to look for a new place.” You know what? That’s valid. Also, has anyone noticed how much Vicki is trying to hold herself accountable for her words these days? Good for her. Hey, so, remember that part of this week’s episode when Tamra responded to Shannon by screaming at her? Vicki remembers. “I don’t know all the history of why Tamra got so upset with Shannon,” Vicki says. “Other than what I have heard from Tamra.” “She was truly concerned for Shannon,” Vicki continues. “And felt Shannon wasn’t there for Tamra during that time.” Vicki continues: “I just think the delivery could have been a little ‘softer.'” “Like Shannon said, she thought it was resolved at their lunch date at Roger’s Garden,” Vicki notes. “So clearly there was more that transpired after that, which I wasn’t aware of.” As we discussed, Tamra no longer feels sorry for Shannon , which is quite a thing to say about your BFF. Vicki sounds fed up: “I don’t know why Gina and Emily are so obsessed with ‘being friends with Shannon.'” “It’s clear that they don’t have an authentic interest in her life or what she is going through,” Vicki assesses. “Nor do I think it’s fair to continue to talk about it,” Vicki says. “Friendships happen naturally and are never good if they are forced.” (Spoken like a woman who’s never used overt friendliness as a weapon to get her way, we take it) Real talk, though, Gina and Emily probably want to forge these friendships to cement their place on the show. “It’s like they are obsessed with talking about it,” Vicki continues. In Vicki’s eyes, “Just because they are hanging out with Shannon doesn’t mean they have to be BFF’s.” “My feeling,” Vicki writes. “Is to let it flow naturally.” It can be difficult to very naturally form friendships while on camera, however. “Shannon and I don’t see much of Gina and Emily,” Vicki shades. “So I don’t know why they are so focused on it.” In Vicki’s eyes: “For some of the girls to continue to prod Tamra on her friendship with Shannon when they knew it was issue is just plain mean.” “It is disingenuous of Gina to purposely try to drive a wedge between Tamra and Shannon and then claim to be some victim,” Vicki accuses. Vicki has a theory: “It’s like she thinks she is going to win Tamra over if she is friends with her and not Shannon?” “Are we in grade school?” Vicki asks. “Is this a game?” “Gina does not have the history Tamra and Shannon do,” Vicki says. “And my advice is to leave them be and let them sort this out on their own.” “They sure don’t need Gina’s advice on this,” in Vicki’s opinion. “Shannon’s situation is completely different than anyone else’s,” Vicki affirms. “Her divorce is nasty and very difficult to handle.” “Kelly stirred the pot by telling Shannon that Tamra thinks Shannon isn’t a good friend,” she accuses. “That’s not being a friend at all.” “She threw that out there and then walked away smirking, which is extremely mean,” Vicki writes. “It is NOT ok talking ‘crap’ on your friend behind her back.” “And,” Vicki continues. “When Kelly said ‘David must have been a saint’ is wrong and NOT ok.” “She owes Shannon an apology,” Vicki concludes. “As they are very good friends still.” Who’d have thought this time last year that Vicki would come riding to Shannon’s defense?

Tamra Judge: I Don’t Feel Sorry for Shannon Beador Anymore!

Posted on October 24, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Real Housewives of Orange County fans watched in horror and fascination as Shannon Beador flipped out on her co-stars in Jamaica. Even Tamra Judge, who has been Shannon’s closest ally on the show, was frustrated with Shannon’s behavior. Now, Tamra is taking to her blog to explain why she’s so frustrated with her BFF. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , the memory of Shannon Beador’s freakout remains burned into your mind. A lot of viewers were taken aback by Shannon’s freakout. But a lot took to Twitter to blast Tamra Judge, feeling that she was way too harsh in response. (Seriously, the feedback was enough that Andy Cohen spoke about how pissed fans were at Tamra) Tamra took to her Bravo blog to explain that she is frustrated with Shannon for not taking responsibility. “The constant negativity was driving me crazy,” Tamra writes. “I was at my breaking point with Shannon.” Tamra continues: “I love my friend dearly, but it wasn’t OK for her to act this way anymore.” Tamra says that it’s Shannon’s fault that she’s not getting along super well with her new castmates. “Gina and Emily had been telling me that Shannon does not give them the time of day,” Tamra reveals. “I tried to explain to them that Shannon is not good with change and doesn’t ask a lot of questions about other people,” Tamra says. Tamra adds: “not even me, her BFF.” “Both the girls told me that I was just making excuses and enabling her,” Tamra writes. “And they didn’t understand why I would do that.” Obviously, Shannon is dealing with a lot, including her at times deeply contentious divorce from David. Tamra says that this is no excuse. “Saying you have too much on your plate to acknowledge somebody on vacation makes no sense,” Tamra writes. She also laments that it is impossible to point out to Shannon when she is not being reasonable. “Here’s the thing,” Tamra says. “It’s really hard for me to tell Shannon when she’s acting out, because all she does is get mad and ices me out.” “So,” Tamra explains. “I just don’t say anything most of the time.” After Shannon blew up at Kelly Dodd, she explained herself at dinner — but that wasn’t the smoothest meal, either. “It really upset me that Shannon would go off on me at the restaurant,” Tamra laments. “I am the one that is always there for her, makes excuses for her behavior, and supports everything she does,” Tamra writes. “Sometimes it’s exhausting! ” “I never told Gina that Shannon was a bad friend,” Tamra insists. “Those were Gina‘s words, not mine.” Like Vicki before her, Shannon has struggled to get along with Gina Kirschenheiter because Gina’s divorce is going so well. “When I didn’t say ‘Yes, Shannon is a good friend’ right away,” Tamra says. “Shannon stormed off, and  of course I chased after her.” Though viewers clearly remember Tamra screaming at Shannon, which seemed to escalate the situation, Tamra says she was there to help. “I tried to talk to Shannon about being a more positive person,” Tamra writes. “I really don’t think that Shannon sees how she’s acting,” Tamra says. “But all she wanted to do was attack me.” “Kelly asked me on the raft if Shannon ever calls and asks about Eddie,” Tamra reveals. “And I said …NO! ” Eddie has atrial fibrillation despite being relatively young. This potentially serious heart problem leaves him feeling betrayed by his own body. Tamra strongly resents the suggestion that she is in any way at fault for Shannon’s tensions with her new castmates. “To insinuate that I’m feeding into Emily and Gina having problems with her infuriates me,” Tamra declares. “Take responsibility for your own actions,” she demands of Shannon. “You did this, not me.” “Everyone  was coming from a place of concern that night,” Tamra writes. “And I just don’t understand how Shannon can’t see it.” Maybe it was the heat. Maybe it’s that Shannon’s ponytail was way too tight. Tamra suggests that she is done pitying her alleged BFF. “When you continue to complain about the same thing over and over again and do nothing about it, I can’t feel sorry for you anymore,” Tamra declares. “You have choices in life,” Tamra says. “Either you can be happy or you can be miserable.” For most people, emotions are not really a choice, but that’s not how Tamra sees it. “I told Shannon,” she writes. “It’s time for her to flip the switch and be happy.” “The next day we went bobsledding without Shannon,” Tamra shares. Tamra makes it clear that they did this “not because we wanted to, but because she would not return anybody’s phone calls.” “She was icing everybody out,” Tamra laments. We hope that being able to see herself and her behavior on television will help to give Shannon a little perspective.

The Voice Recap: Who Landed a Four-Chair Turn?

Posted on October 9, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Blind Auditions were dragged out even further on Monday’s episode of The Voice.  But there was one silver lining: The first duo in years made it to the Blind Auditions, but how did the couple fare? OneUp (Team Kelly) – “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love” Adam and Jerome got close to each other while shooting a music video, and decided it was time to form a duo.  The issue, however, is that their vocals did not mesh well together. They would have been wiser to audition as solo acts.  Kelly probably only took them on because it was so different to have a duo in the game. If they can dial back the confidence, they might be able to adapt.  Natalie Brady (Team Adam) – “Barracuda”   This 33-year-old Nashville singer showed up on the stage and immediately made it her own. With solid vocals and a great stage presence, she could be one to watch.  The surprising thing was that she only got two chair turns, but she could be a success story with Adam’s help.  Mike Parker (Team Jennifer) – “So Sick” Mike was quick to point out that he lost all of his scholarships because his grades were not up to scratch.  He turned to a career in construction, but he could probably carve out a career in music. His audition was solid, and we’re sure he will be a great addition to Team Jennifer.  Erika Zade (Team Kelly) –  “New Rules” Erika is the 20-year-old daughter of a rocker from Miami. She with Dua Lipa’s hit single for her audition, and let’s just say it was not what we expected.  She put her own unique spin on it, but was there anything beyond that audition that she could accomplish? We have no idea. Jarred Matthew (Team Adam) –  “Tired of Being Alone” Jarred went with an Al Green classic, and his vocals hit astronomical heights. He had a lot of confidence, not as much as OneUp, and that’s a good thing.  Out of all the performers Monday night, he is the most likely to make it further into the competition. He has the look of a superstar, so that’s a positive. It will all come down to whether his chances are ruined by horrid song choices.  Kayley Hill (Team Blake) – “Gold Dust Woman” Anybody who can tackle a Fleetwood Mac number should automatically get a four-chair turn. There, we said it.  Kayley was another solid performance, but she was a casualty of the short auditions. Maybe the producers wanted to save her best for the Batlle Rounds.  Kirk Jay (Team Blake) – “God Bless the Broken Road” This 22-year-old country singer turned in a striking performance that got the coveted four-chair turn.  He was confident and knew what was expected of him, and he set out to prove to everyone that he should be kept in the game.  In the end, he went to Team Blake, and that’s a good thing.  What are your thoughts on the latest performances?  The Voice continues Tuesday on NBC.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: The Shade Queen

Posted on October 9, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County was light on the nice, and heavy on the mean.  It picked up in the immediate aftermath of Shannon Beador’s QVC debut, and she was on a high.  She invited all of the ladies over to her house for a celebratory dinner.  Gina Kirschenheiter was in attendance, and as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , she has butted heads with some of the ladies over her looming divorce.  The 34-year-old admitted that she was scared at the thought of “being a grown-up” when the divorce gets finalized.  “I’ve never been alone…I’m scared,” cried Gina as she continued to speak to the ladies about it.  Gina immediately took issue with the fact that Shannon did not ask her how things were.  “Just ask me how my f***ing day was,” Gina yelled as she cried. “‘I’m glad I’m out of this one,” complained Shannon as Gina continued to sob. “I am noticing a pattern in Shannon’s behavior, of her really not caring about me at all…Shannon does have this way of just looking through you,” said Gina. “It shouldn’t take this much time for her to acknowledge my existence, it shouldn’t take this much time for her to not be an a**hole,” she continued. But Shannon was quick to tell Kelly Dodd the real reason why she did not care for Gina.  “She’s 20 years younger than me… and she stirred the pot a few times with me,” Shannon said to her friend.  It makes sense that Shannon would want to keep the new additions away from her because she wants to maintain some sort of storyline to have her contract picked up for another year.  If these new women have a more significant presence, she runs the risk of being demoted to the dreaded “friend” status.  What’s more, the new housewives come at a lower price tag because they haven’t been part of the show for as long.  Elsewhere, Emily questioned whether it would be a wise decision to attempt to have another baby with one of the embryos she had left from her fertility treatments.  Emily was open about her almost dying after suffering six miscarriages on a recent episode of the Bravo hit, so it’s fully understandable that her husband would be apprehensive about trying to conceive again.  “I don’t think it’s right that you keep pushing me in that direction,” Shane said, but Emily wasn’t ready to back down. “But I’ve always wanted more than one girl,” she said. Emily was told that carrying another child could kill her following what happened the last time, so it’s a difficult situation for anyone to be in.  It remains to be seen whether Shane will change his stance on the matter, but we’re inclined to believe he won’t.  What are your thoughts on all the latest action? Hit the comments below.  RHOC continues Mondays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Premiere Just Gave Us So Much More Hope For Season 13

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 6 Recap: Rumors

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 6 confirmed what we all expected: Shannon Beador’s relationship with her delusional ex-husband, David is in tatters.  The 53-year-old revealed that David thought she was doing everything in her power to try and turn the tide against him in the courtroom.  Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 6 Online “David’s shown quite a bit of anger towards me,” she said after saying that David thought she was using the abusive texts he sent her as leverage.  The evidence is evidence. However, it may appear, so we can’t even begin to imagine why the loser thought Shannon would not use them.  On the way to court during Monday’s episode, Shannon was so scared to face him that she ran a red light while on the phone to her mother about what was going to happen at the court.  Shannon has been open up about David’s abuse and kept all of the details in the court filings, but this further scared her.  “I feel like I’m walking into the unknown,” she said after saying she worried about how it “might set him off.” She then met up with her lawyer Ben and continued to worry about what could happen.  “I don’t know what David I’m going to see today,” she said.  “My wish is that a weight is going to be lifted off my shoulders after this court date. My reality is telling me, nah, it’s just gonna make things worse,” she admitted, adding: “He’s not going to be happy no matter what decision is made.” Things went Shannon’s way in the courtroom, and she called Tamra Judge to let her know her thoughts on it after admitting she was “shaken up, emotional, and just very uneasy.” That would certainly make one think it did not go her way, but it really did.  “I don’t even have any words for it,’ she said through tears. “‘The judge ordered him to pay me a lot of money every month — $30,000-a-month.” However, we quickly learned why Shannon was so shaken up.  “We went out in the hallway, and David came around the corner where I was talking to Ben, and he just went off on Ben and me.” “And Ben had to scream for the bailiff. He was so livid. He came around the corner and said, ‘You f*****g happy Ben?’” It certainly sounds like an awkward encounter, to say the least, but Shannon opted to throw her devious ex a bone.  She said that she agreed to lower the $30,000 pay down to $22,500 “because that’s what I need at this point.” “So we went back into the courtroom, and he was shaking with anger. If anything, I was fair in cutting down the order. I just want him out of my life,” she continued.  It’s great that Shannon has her friends at her side, but we learned early into the episode that the texts could be the thing that saved her case.  She said they were so bad “I guarantee you I will never have to talk to him again.” “‘F**k you, you f*****g b***h,” and “You f*****g disgust me, you fat a**. Get off your f*****g lazy fat a**. Did you get out of bed today, you f***ing b***h'” she said of the torrent of abuse.  “That’s what I get, all the time,” she said with a sad look on her face.  “Believe it or not, I had David over to my house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But he says that he lived through 17 years of hell with me,” said Shannon in a confessional.  “So, I’m sorry you feel that way. Thank God you’re out.” While things with her and David were over, the ladies wanted her to return to the dating scene.  “I think Shannon definitely needs a kick in the a** to start dating. She needs to get laid,” said Tamra who seemed more excited by the prospect of it than Shannon herself.  “I think that what I’ve come to realize is that what I’m looking for is a partnership,” Shannon told matchmaking experts. “I’m not going to go and meet a guy at a bar and then make out with him at that night. I need to know somebody before we’re going to touch lips.” “She loves sex — she does,” Tamra instead insisted. “She needs a guy who can get it on.” ‘I don’t know if I’m ready to date,’ Shannon countered. ‘The whole thought panics me. Just panics me.” Meanwhile, newcomers Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter were still bringing all the drama thanks to Gina’s husband yelling at Emily for being a little too loud at a party.  “No guy should be yelling at any woman,” insisted Tamra. “He’s having a party in his house. Did he expect everyone to be quiet?” Kelly Dodd had a whole different outlook on the matter.  “No wonder why he was upset — everyone was drinking, having fun, gambling… and they don’t swear. S**t. I’m going straight to hell.” We’re happy to report that Kelly was having a joke with Vicki Gunvalson.  Okay then.  What did you think of the latest episode?

Ben Affleck on Twitter: I Love My Fugly Tattoos!

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been a tough few months in the life of Ben Affleck. Come to think of it, it’s been a tough couple years for Beantown Benny, but for brevity’s sake, we’ll stick to the more recent misfortunes. The latest round of headaches that likely has been dejectedly vaping in a Dodge Charger somewhere has to do with Ben’s back tattoo . Now, this is a saga that’s been going on for years, but only came to a head this past week, when some candid shirtless beach photos confirmed that Affleck lied about the tattoo being “fake for a movie.” We may never know what possessed Ben to have a giant, colorful phoenix etched into his flesh, but it’s not hard to figure out why he decided to lie about it: The tattoo is a big ugly mistake – not unlike the film Gigli – and Ben quite understandably wanted to cover it up. Mistakes, we all make them – but that doesn’t mean we’re exempt from getting flamed on social media when we screw up. And more followers means more haters, a lesson Ben learned the hard way, as trolls came out of the woodwork to rag on his horrendous ink. To make matters worse, now those cronut-munching Niles Crane wannabes at The New Yorker are having a go at poor Ben. In a piece published last week entitled – we sh-t you not – “The Great Sadness of Ben Affleck,” columnist Naomi Fry roasted the Batfleck within an inch of his life. Was the article meant to be funny? We think so, but it’s hard to tell with The New Yorker – a publication which remains stubbornly convinced that sketches of wild animals complaining about oaky chardonnay are the stuff of droll hilarity. Fry critiqued the photos mercilessly, ragging on Ben’s “pooching” gut and the “blue-gray towel … wrapped protectively around his midsection—recalling a shy teen at the local pool.” Yes, like her magazine’s famous cartoons, Fry’s piece won’t make you laugh , necessarily, but if you’re a certain type of smug, you may find yourself tempted to share it on Facebook as evidence of your wit and sophistication. But hey, Ben’s able to laugh at himself, even when the jokes at his expense aren’t exactly Carlin-caliber. Affleck has dealt with a lot of criticism over the years but it seems he couldn’t resist letting the dwebs of the Upper East Side know that they’re rubber and he’s bat-glue. “@NewYorker I’m doing just fine. Thick skin bolstered by garish tattoos,” Affleck tweeted at the magazine today. Ben knows you have to hit these nerds where it hurts – right in the vocabulary. Very perspicacious of you, homey.
