BOSSIP Exclusive: Chinx Drugz Wife Is Star Of Rapper’s New Video

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Janelli Caceres-Pickens with her two daughters at Chinx Drugz album listening party Janelli Caceres-Pickens In Starring Role For Chinx Drugz Video “On Your Body” Chinx Drugz’s widow made her surprise debut as a video girl in his new posthumously released music video, “On Your Body.” In the video, Janelli Caceres-Pickens is in Miami, getting dolled up for a night on the town with Chinx. She rides in a white Bentley through South Beach to meet him–only to be surprised by her three kids in an upscale restaurant. The video used lots of over the shoulder shots that showed off her tattoo of Chinx’s face and “Mrs. Pickens” at the nape of her neck. Chinx’s manager, Doug Ellison, unveiled the new video at his album listening party July 15 at Stage 48 in Manhattan, in front of guests like Maino, Sugar J, Welven the Great, Vado and French Montana’s brother Coke Boy Zack. The event showcased the rapper’s debut album, “Welcome to JFK,” which will be released Aug. 14. Ellison said they drove to Miami to shoot the video, which was shot in less than a week. “We’re here to pay homage to our brother,” he said. “It’s super surreal that I’m actually here and celebrating something he worked so hard for without him actually being here.” DJ Killa Touch, Jadakiss’ DJ (top left) and Meet Sims, who is on Chinx’ forthcoming album, at Chinx Drugz album release party July 15 Caceres-Pickens seemed to enjoy her time in the limelight, dancing on stage with her five-year-old son Lionel “Nugget” Pickens Jr. and rapping along to her late husband’s lyrics. But her emotions got the better of her when DJ Amazin played Chinx’s song “Die Young.” The visibly upset widow put her sunglasses on and looked down at the floor. The couple’s two other daughters were also on hand for the listening party. There was no sign of Chinx’s heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend Patricija Muratovic , who is due to give birth to their child, Liam, any day. Chinx was murdered  in a drive-by shooting two months ago after coming from a performance in a Brooklyn club. His killer has not yet been arrested.

Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3 Recap: The Cold Stops With Me

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last night’s Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3, “The Cold” began a bit slowly but came together cohesively by the end in a solid, if not stellar, installment. Watch Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3 Online Ostensibly, if you watch Modern Family online this week, what you’ll see is an episode framed around a family health epidemic, something we’ve all experienced. Beneath the surface, however, are a group of people trying to put on a good front and look tougher, stronger, and better than ever for the sake of … who knows. We all want to appear to be our best selves, especially around family, and no matter how open and honest we are with each other, it’s a tough act to pull off. Phil had done Mitchell and Cam a solid and gotten a friend to shoot the video at their wedding, though he uncovered a scary detail while editing: He was Patient Zero, the man who started it all. What he initially believed were allergies at the wedding was really “The Cold” and the video caught him red handed sneezing all over stuff … i.e. Mitch. Everyone, of course, was focused on their own flaws to even notice (or get to) Phil’s offending behavior, which was really the main takeaway here. Does anyone llke looking at themselves on tape? Meanwhile, Claire forced herself to go to a client meeting despite being deathly ill, since she’s Jay’s super tough girl and all that (even if she’s not). Gloria blames Jay for pressuring the kids so hard, although Manny then calls Gloria out as the one who’s truly guilty of this, telling him he’s so perfect 24/7. By the time all the plot lines came together at the dinner and viewing party at the end of Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3 , it worked out fairly well. As for the Andy and Haley romance, that unlikely pair continues to come into their own slowly but surely, and surprisingly provided some of the best moments.

Miley Cyrus on Twitter: Look at My Thong!

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We might wanna find Miley Cyrus a new movie role or get her into a recording studios one of these days. Because the 19-year old has way too much time on her hands, at least based on her latest Twitter photo. Following harmless, self-published shots of herself on July 4 and with a new hair color , Cyrus took to the social network last night and sent out a picture of herself in her “lucky tee shirt.” And also in a see-through dress. View for yourself: What do you think, readers? Does Miley need to find herself a hobby that does NOT include flaunting her underwear for the world to see? Miley Cyrus Tweeting this photo is…

Man Tries to Swim Atlantic to Spread Olympic Spirit, Rescued at Sea Shortly After Departure

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A London native on vacation in France and apparently overcome with Olympic mania had to be rescued after attempting to swim to the U.S. The unnamed 34-year-old told friends on the beach at Biarritz that he was off to New York to “carry the Olympic spirit across the Atlantic.” That’s almost 3,600 miles. He probably made it at least 1-2. His friends thought he was joking, but knowing that he was a strong swimmer, decided to let him go, figuring he’d turn around or be rescued if needed. The man swam beyond buoys 300 yards out to sea, past the legal limits for bathing, then continued swimming out of sight , raising their concerns. Lifeguards called in a helicopter, which spotted him well offshore. From it, a diver dropped into the sea and urged the man to head back to France. He replied that he was a strong swimmer and felt up to it. By that point, lifeguards arrived by boat and encouraged him to ride back with them. Wisely, he took them up on the offer. Laurent Saintespes, senior officer at Biarritz airbase, said, “He was a bit naive. But with the Olympics taking place in London you have to see the funny side of things.”

Rihanna Gives Fans ‘Another Twist’ In ‘California King Bed,’ Director Says

Posted on May 15, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Anthony Mandler discusses working with the superstar singer, with whom he’s collaborated more than a dozen times. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Getty Images Rihanna showed off her pale-hued softer side in her “California King Bed” video . A sweeping, romantic look at the demise of a relationship is perfectly encapsulated in the Anthony Mandler-directed clip. Rihanna and Mandler are certainly not strangers when it comes to collaborating, having made more than a dozen clips together, ranging from the fun “Only Girl (In the World)” to the dark “Russian Roulette.” When MTV News recently spoke to Mandler, he noted that he and Ri brought out a whole new side to the always-changing singer. “I think it’s something that is so unique about Rihanna whatever she’s doing, whatever character she’s playing, whatever side of herself she’s showing, she’s in it 1,000 percent,” he explained. “They’re all twists and variations on herself, and in each of them, the way she pushes the visual and the way she pushes the styling and the look of it, she really kind of gives them another twist on Rihanna. “And I think the song and the theme of this song, she wanted to obviously show a softer side, a lighter side, one that’s caught in maybe a tumultuous relationship,” he continued. “But not let the tumultuous relationship dominate the visual, really counterbalance it with tension-filled chaotic beauty.” Instead of finding a scenic location on which to shoot the video, they built their own set in order to have control over the elements of the video. Rihanna gave Mandler a “basic foundation,” and from there, he put his magic on what he describes as a “really pure beauty video with a story line underneath.” Having shot both a softer-edge Rihanna and a harder-edged one, Mandler weighed in on which he prefers. “There’s so much variety with her and it’s been such a journey with her,” he said. “It’s hard to say which one I enjoy more than the other. I just enjoy working with her, so whatever that means. … There are gray shades that are brilliant that I’m constantly discovering.” Related Artists Rihanna

Former ‘American Idol’ Contestant Alex Lambert Not Homeless, Rep Says

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Singer tweeted that he was living on the streets of Los Angeles. By Gil Kaufman Alex Lambert Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images On the eve of the season 10 debut of “American Idol,” one of last season’s most lovable losers has gotten himself back into the news. Perhaps you remember (though probably not) stage-fright-wracked singer Alex Lambert , the talented but nervous guitar strummer whose ouster unleashed an online petition of support from more than 13,000 fans who wanted him reinstated to the show. Well, on Monday night, Lambert posted a string of tweets in which he claimed he’d been forced to live on the streets of Los Angeles since October, when he wrapped up his stint on the reality series “If I Can Dream,” the online show he fled to after being booted from “Idol.” After chatting with some fellow fans and former “Idol” pals about his frustrations with the music biz, Lambert dropped this bombshell: “Ever since ‘IICD’ ended I’ve been kinda homeless! Sleepin on the street and behind buildings. I have a choice to stay and pursue my career or go back to texas and not do music! I’m usually a strong person but I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been goin to coffee shops and other stores so I can tweet to my snaf! Because to be honest! You guys are all I really have!” According to Entertainment Weekly, however, things are not nearly as grim as they might seem. A spokesperson for an “Idol” production company, 19 Entertainment, which manages many of the show’s contestants, confirmed that the tweets did come from Lambert but denied that the 20-year-old Texas singer is sleeping behind dumpsters. “He’s not homeless. I don’t know where that came from,” the unidentified rep told EW, explaining that there’s good reason to believe that Lambert should have the ability to pay for housing thanks to his development deal with 19. “He’s on a retainer, and he’s getting money every month,” the spokesperson said. “He’s working on demos. He’s with writers, he’s working on music. … He’s not homeless. How could he be texting? How could he be going into [the] recording studio and sleeping on the streets? There’s no record deal yet, but hopefully these demos … something could come from that.” Perhaps someone at 19 had a chat with Lambert about his down and out in Beverly Hills claims, since he updated his status on Tuesday afternoon, writing, “Sorry for the miscommunication 😉 I’m just fine! MAHALO!” And even though he claimed to be living on the streets, he asked his followers not to feel sorry for him, adding, “I know a lot of people think I tweeted my living situation for publicity! But I don’t give a damn about fame!” But then he muddied the waters again with some follow-up tweets in which he stated emphatically, “I’m real! And I don’t lie! and I would never lie to y’all! (y’all being my supporters who got my back through thick and thin) F— yeah I was … sleepin outside! That sh– sucks too! I’m goin back home to get my sh– together! But I will be back! And I’m comin strong! LETS DO THIS!” Don’t miss our “American Idol” live stream “Judging the Judges: An ‘Idol’ Without Simon,” featuring post-show analysis from Jim Cantiello and special guests, on MTV.com tonight at 10 p.m. ET.
