On Tuesday morning, Teigen offered her support to former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney in a huge way: The model, host, and author said that she would be “absolutely honored” to pay a $100,000 fine that the gymnast might face for violating a nondisclosure agreement with USA Gymnastics, which would come into play if she choses to speak at the sentencing for disgraced team doctor  Larry Nassar . The entire principle of this should be fought – an NDA to stay quiet about this serial monster with over 140 accusers, but I would be absolutely honored to pay this fine for you, McKayla. pic.twitter.com/lsBEgEqZpD — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 16, 2018 Maroney revealed in October of 2017 that she had been sexually abused by Nassar from age 13 until she left gymnastics at age 20. Back in 2016, McKayla received a $1.25 million settlement from USA Gymnastics following the organization learned of the doctor’s actions. That settlement included an NDA with a $100,000 penalty if she ever spoke about the abuse, which is what Teigen is offering to help with. Maroney is suing USA Gymnastics, the United States Olympic Committee and Michigan State University for allegedly forcing her “to agree to a nondisparagement clause and confidentiality provision.” There are 98 victims and family members currently scheduled to make statements at Nassar’s sentencing, which starting on Tuesday. Nassar has been accused of sexual abuse by 140 women, including former Olympians Aly Raisman ,  Simone Biles  and Gabby Douglas . Big shoutout to Chrissy Teigen for the amazing gesture.

Simone Biles to Dancing with the Stars Judges: Don’t Tell Me to Smile!

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s official: Simone Biles isn’t just a world champion gymnast. She’s also a world champion comeback generator. On Dancing with the Stars last night , Biles advanced to this season’s semifinals on the heels of a solid Foxtrot and a strong Paso doble. But the former Olympian didn’t totally win over the judges with these routines, as Carrie Ann Inaba took Biles to task less for her dancing skills and more for her lack of emotion. “Your skills are unquestionable,” Inaba said, prior to getting into the crux of her critique: “You hit every line with precision and perfection. But once again, I’m going to come back to performance and authenticity about who you are when you perform… “You have this beautiful smile and you are a megastar with your energy, but once in a while, there’s beauty without a smile. “There’s beauty in pain and all of the other emotions, and I’d like to see more of that.”  Julianne Hough agreed with her fellow panelist. “I don’t know if the smile is authentic because you want to smile, or if it’s just because you rehearsed it that way,” she told Biles. “I really just want to see some rawness come out.” This is, of course, completely ridiculous. And also a bit sexist. Can you imagine any judge telling a male contestant to smile more naturally? Fortunately, Biles had the perfect response to this odd and unfair criticism. “I’ve lived in a gym 14 years of my life, so it’s hard to show something I’ve never felt before,” she said at first, offering up a valid excuse for why she isn’t a natural on the dance floor. But after remaining stoic upon hearing positive reviews after her second performance, and then being asked by Tom Bergeron why she still wasn’t smiling, Biles responded: Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals. BAM! And Biles would know. This amazing comeback earned the athlete quite a bit of praise and admiration across social media. And then there was this: Following the episode, Biles and her partner Sasha Farber spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the struggle she’s had to connect with the judges this season. “I feel like everyone has their own opinion, clearly, and I feel it’s just how you take it,” Biles said, adding: “I feel like I am trying, I am being honest, but if they don’t see that, I don’t know what more I can do.” An intense competitor, Biles is accustomed to simply getting the job done; not concerning herself with what sort of emotions are displayed on her face. “You don’t know which wild card of sexy or of happy they want to bring, and you almost have to read their minds and find it,” she told ET last night, concluding that she nearly broke down on live television. “I had tears in my eyes. I almost ran to the bathroom at one point, but I pulled it together.” You go, Simone Biles! If we have it our way, this impressive young woman will win the entire thing this season… … and then accept the Mirrorball Trophy without even the faintest hint of a smile.

Sugar Bear Reacts to June Shannon Weight Loss: HOLY $HIT!!!!!

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We've documented some impressive feats of celebrity weight loss over the years. Al Roker, John Goodman and Jonah Hill come to mind. Simply put, however, we've never seen a body transformation before quite like that of June Shannon. And it's clear we aren't alone. In the following clip from this Friday’s Mama June: From Not to Hot , the former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star heads to her ex-home in McIntyre, Georgia to flaunt her new figure for ex-husband Sugar Bear. (The couple split in September of 2014 and share custody of Alana Thompson.) Shannon’s personal trainer, Kenya Crooks, and her daughters come along for support.  “Just being back in McIntrye brings back a lot of bad memories. People who haven’t seen me in a couple of years are going to be shocked,” Shannon tells the camera, adding: “Like, what the f-ck am I doing here? “That’s the house that I used to live in with the kids when Alana was little. Yeah, they did a lot of work to the house and it looks better, but it’s still the same damn house. That house doesn’t serve good memories.” Shannon then spots Sugar Bear and says she's “nervous.” How will he react to the woman in front of him? The following clip then depicts Shannon’s legs as she exits the car in a long red dress, along with Sugar Bear’s reaction in a confessional. “Oh, sh-t,” he says. Shannon formerly weighed approximately 460 pounds; then she underwent gastric sleeve surgery and stuck to an intense diet and exercise regimen to slim WAY down. She also endured several plastic surgeries, including excess skin removal on her neck and arms, along with a tummy tuck and a boob job. Check out the season finale sneak peek below, courtesy of Entertainment Tonight, now!

Dancing With the Stars Results: Who Got the Boot on Vegas Week?

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Who got the boot on Dancing with the Stars, and who lived to dance another week after some good, bad and ugly Vegas Week performances? As always, it came down to the wire as the contenders are starting to distance themselves from the pretenders of the Season 24 crew. Not going home? Heather Morris, the former Glee star and Beyonce backup dancer who has critics saying Dancing with the Stars is rigged . It’s not, but she is quite good. With per partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy out at least a week due to an injury, she and sub Alan Burston did not miss a beat on Monday. The two performed a tango to Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” which had the judges (and those who remember the classic music video) floored. Heather and Alan earned a 33 out of 40, tying them with Nancy Kerrigan and Artem Chigvintsev, who performed a samba to Ricky Martin. Kerrigan is breaking a leg , but only in the figurative sense, so far; Nick Viall, on the other hand, has yet to find a post-Bachelor groove. Nick and Peta Murgatroyd struggled in rehearsals, and while the judges offered some kind comments, their score was a modest 26. Tying that total were Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess , who went down faster than his hand on her waist during the infamous premiere. They were tied with Simone Biles last week, so falling back into a tie with Nick and Erika Jayne, who also scored a 26, was not ideal. At the very bottom of the scoreboard, though, were two other celeb couples: Mr. T and Kym Herjavec, along with Charo and Keo Motsepe. Mr. T’s foxtrot was a hit, but not a scoring hit, and while Charo threatened to quit last week, she may get her wish as both scored 24. Last to dance Monday night? Normani Kordei and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, whose foxtrot earned them two 8s and two 9s, and sole possession of first place with 34. Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater, David Ross and Lindsay Arnold, and Simone Biles and Sasha Farbery, all performed solid routines. Solid, but not great, landing them in the middle of the pack. Simone, in particular, struggled to bring the personality to match her athleticism. All of the above were safe on this evening, as the bottom of the group who you would expect to be sweating it out sure as heck was. The two couples in jeopardy: Charo and Keo , along with Nick and Peta. No Bachelor star has ever gone home this fast (Melissa Rycroft is the only one to win it). View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: 9 Raciest Moments in Show History History was on Nick’s side, it turned out. As it turned out, Charo and Keo were the ones eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, which prompted this interesting quote from her: “Bruno, I’ll see you in the parking lot!”  Okay then … Bruno, you want to give me low scores and kick me off the show bruh? Then you can cash me ousside, how bow dah ?
