Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Getting Married ASAP?

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just got engaged a few days ago, but are already discussing a wedding and the big event may not be too far off. The celebrity couple will NOT have a prolonged engagement, according to sources close to the couple, who say that “the wedding will happen quickly.” Apparently, it’s Kanye pushing for the wedding to happen ASAP more than Kim Kardashian, and as for the size, insiders say it’s going to be “a blow out.” After the proposal he pulled off, would you expect anything less? Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Planning Huge Wedding? Kim is said to be resistant to another huge soiree, given how her marriage to Kris Humphries unraveled so rapidly after that E! televised extravaganza. However, if ‘Ye wants to plan it, we’re guessing she’ll show up. Speaking of the proposal, Kanye is supposedly livid that someone secretly recorded and leaked the Kim Kardashian engagement video to the web. The duo believes they know who did it, and that said person signed a confidentiality agreement and will likely be sued … so there’s a lesson there: If you’re invited to the wedding, just leave your phone in the car. Check out the OFFICIAL footage filmed by E! (of course) from the magical Kanye West proposal he pulled off at AT&T Park in San Francisco below: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Engagement Video Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Will they get married?   Yes, they are so meant to be! No, Kim will back out No, Kanye will back out View Poll » If so, for how long will the marriage last?   73 days 1 year 5 years 10 years Forever! View Poll »

Hillary Clinton Responds to Heckler, Urges Civility and Discourse

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

At a speech on Wednesday in Buffalo, N.Y., former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took on a heckler by encouraging him to … not heckle. Clinton made it clear that citizenship doesn’t include yelling. “It includes sitting down and talking,” she said, to a rousing ovation from the 6,500 on hand. Hillary Clinton Heckled Re: Benghazi The man, who had been yelling from an upper section of the bleachers during the event at University of Buffalo, was eventually led away by security. He screamed “Benghazi, Benghazi, you let them die” in reference to the 9/11/12 terror attack on a U.S. Embassy in Libya in which four Americans died. “We can’t move from crisis to crisis,” she said, according to reports, “we have to be willing to come together as citizens to focus on the kind of future we want.” It has been a particularly divisive few years in the nation’s capital, capped off by the recent government shutdown and the looming debt ceiling fight. The general public is none too pleased. According to a poll released earlier this month, 72 percent of Americans opposed the shutdown and 74 percent disapprove of the job done by GOP Republicans. Respondents also opposed by 64 to 27 percent the idea of blocking an increase in the nation’s debt ceiling as a way to stop Obamacare from implementation. Congressional Democrats and President Barack Obama didn’t fare much better, though, posting 32 percent and 45 percent job approval ratings in the survey. No matter which side of the spectrum they’re on, maybe it’s time for congressional leaders to take Clinton’s advice and just talk through their issues? So that instead of reporting on partisan gridlock and letting the prospects for a brighter future grow dimmer by the day, we could actually get stuff done? Novel concept, we know.

Anna Rexia Halloween Costume: The Worst Idea of All Time?

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The “Anna Rexia” Halloween costume, which sparked controversy a couple of years ago when it was first unveiled, is back and more offensive than ever. The costume, if the name didn’t make this clear, is a play on anorexia nervosa, a serious eating disorder. This did not go over well in 2011, but has resurfaced. Anna Rexia Halloween Costume Halloweenparty13 (dot) com is selling the “Anna Rexia” costume for $39.99, using the same contentious tagline: “You can never be too rich or too thin.” Featuring a glitter screen-print skeleton mini-dress, a choker neckband, measuring tape belt and an “Anna Rexia” badge, the outfit is begging for backlash. Dreamgirls International, the costume manufacturer, said in an earlier statement: “We understand that some people will not find the dark humor funny.” Calling Halloween “an eccentric holiday” for people to express themselves in “myriad ways,” they dismiss criticism as “a matter of taste and personal discretion.” It seems Dreamgirls has changed its tune since, however. Hypervocal recently spoke to Dreamgirls Director of Marketing Lar Hovsepian, who told them that the “Anna Rexia” costume has been discontinued. “At this point it’s out of our control,” he said. There are still units being sold by retailers, however. One of them Halloweenstore (dot) com has responded to the backlash on its Facebook page: “We have received emails and Facebook attacks for a costume that has not been sold since 2011 … We did NOT design, manufacture, etc this costume.” “We are a small family business that sold this costume , just as thousands of other stores did,” the statement says, though the item is still available. Sounds like an awful lot of disavowing and shoulder-shrugging going on, while still making “Anna Rexia” for sale if you look around hard enough. What do you think of the costume?   Hilarious Horrible View Poll »

You know, my mom doesn’t even have something like this!” It’s a very sweet example of what makes Hanks so gosh darn likable. Watch now: Tom Hanks Meets Autistic Fan

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Late last month, Big Freedia organized an historic event in New York City, helping to break the record for most people Twerking at the same time. She got 358 people to gyrate their booties simultaneously. So this artist knows a thing or two about the move Miley Cyrus has now made famous, only she has some news to break to fans of this singer. Big Freedia Versus Miley Cyrus! “It’s been around for two decades,” Freedia tells The Associated Press of Twerking, shooting down the idea that Miley somehow invented it and adding that it originated in New Orleans. “It’s the culture there, it’s history there.” Asked about Miley’s infamous MTV VMA performance , Big Freedia scoffed. She said she’s been the one doing this move for the last three years, “converting one twerker at a time all around the world,” and that Cyrus barely even qualifies as a twerker. “She really didn’t twerk, you know,” this dancer says. “She attempted to twerk, but she didn’t really twerk properly and so people were a confused and little baffled about the dance moves that she did do.” Whoa there! Fighting words! What is the correct way to twerk? Explains Freedia: “You have to use your body in the upright position, you can use your knees for support and that’s the only way you can twerk.” Watch this video for more and sound off: Is Miley a phony twerker wannabe?!? How to Twerk Like Miley

Little Girl Makes Up Tap Routine, Wins Dance Class and Internet

Posted on October 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Some people dance, or tap, to the beat of their own drum. Just how they roll. In this case, a little tap dancer does just that, and totally steals the show. Her routine is way better than the planned one. Maybe not on technical merit, but based on how good a time she’s having performing it? Not even close. As always, it’s fun to see a young child blissfully unaware of her surroundings. Not bogged down by inhibitions, she’s just having fun and feelin’ it. That little girl dancing to Beyonce has some sassy company … Preschool Tap Dancer
