20 Reality TV Scandals: Does It Get Worse Than Josh Duggar?

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Just when you think it can't get any worse than Kenya Moore going off on Porsha Williams, along comes Juan Pablo Galavis. And then just when you think the lowest rung of the reality TV ladder has been reached due to the outright racism of the Big Brother 15 cast, along comes Teresa Giudice actually going to jail due to financial fraud. And then just when you're willing to write these examples off as exceptions and embrace reality television again, along comes Josh Duggar confessing to sexual molestation and… well… … it doesn't get any more grotesque than that. Here is a look at 20 scandals that have absolutely rocked the world of reality television. 1. Josh Duggar Admits to Sexual Molestation That title says it all, doesn’t it? In the spring of 2015, Josh Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame apologized for molesting multiple young girls when he was a teenager. 2. TLC Cancels Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Give the network credit. It pulled the plug as soon as rumors spread of June Shannon dating her daughter’s former molester. EWWWWW! 3. Kenya Moore vs. Porsha Williams! This capped off the reunion special to end all reunion specials. When Kenda accused her Real Housewives of Atlanta colleague of infidelity, Porsha… went… OFF! 4. Big Brother 15 Just the entire season, really. These homophobic and racist cast members caused us to lose faith in pretty much all of humanity. 5. Everyone Hates Juan Pablo Galavis Juan Pablo Galavis was asked about a potentially gay Bachelor and responded: “I respect [gay people], but I honestly don’t think it is a good example for kids to watch that on TV.” He then went out and sounded like an even bigger moron during the actual season. 6. Duck Dynasty Debate Phil Robertson also got in trouble for making homophobic remarks to GQ. He then issued a statement that read: “My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and mean are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me.” View Slideshow

Robert De Niro to NYU Graduates: You’re F-cked!

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Robert De Niro held little back when delivering the commencement speech at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts on Friday at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. The veteran actor looked at those in attendance and told them very simply and straightforwardly:  ​You made it… and you’re f-cked! Explained De Niro: “The school of medicine graduates, each one will get a job. The graduates in accounting? They all have jobs. Where does that leave you? “Envious of those accountants? I doubt it. Maybe they were passionate about accounting, but I think it’s more likely they used reason and logic and common sense to research a career.” Sounds strange and depressing? De Niro brought the message home in inspiring fashion: “You didn’t have that choice, did you? You discovered a talent, developed an ambition, and recognized your passion. When you feel that, you can’t fight it. You just go for it.” How does this compare to Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne Johnson's 1989 commencement speech ?
