Richard Marx Slams Chris Brown, Grammys on Twitter

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Richard Marx of all people zinged Chris Brown and the Grammys on Twitter a few hours ago, and we have to say, the man makes a valid, amusing point. Earlier this week, a report surfaced that producers of the annual musical extravaganza insisted that stars not wear revealing clothes Sunday night. In response, Marx dropped this gem: “‘Risque’ clothing banned at Grammys but guys who beat up women? Come ooonnn downnnnn…. #goodcallgrammys” Who knew Marx – a soft rock KING in the 1980s – had such strong opinions on Chris Brown ? Or a dry sense of humor? Or a Twitter account (@richardmarx)? Team Breezy is sending him so many death threats right now. Oh Richard Marx. How we missed thee, even if we didn’t realize it until now. Wherever you are … wherever you go, I will be right here waiting for you …

Kylie and Kendall Jenner: No Kardashians for Us!

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

They may dream to be as rich and famous as sisters Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian . But Kylie and Kendall Jenner do not fantasize about becoming too similar to their half-siblings. Asked in the latest issue of Glamour if they would ever change their last name, 17-year old Kendall says : “We’re full-throttle Jenners! We don’t have any desire to be Kardashians.” Finally! Someone in this family with some common sense. Kylie, meanwhile, scoffs at the notion that the family’s reality show has somehow torn the unit apart. “Our family is closer because of the show,” she insists. “And when we are older, we’ll have the memories on tape. If some of those moments hadn’t been filmed, I wouldn’t remember them! Pick up the March issue of this magazine for a lot more from Kylie and Kendall, including their take on having so many men in their lives and what they learn from each half-sister.

Selena Gomez: Targeted by Protesters!

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Selena Gomez was targeted by protesters last night. But not because she refuses to get back together with Justin Bieber . The singer was in New York City, sitting in the front row for the first-ever NEO by Adidas fashion show (she serves as brand ambassador) when a woman handed her a flyer that read:  “Selena Gomez: Be an ambassador for children, not for sweatshops.” A similar message was also printed on a much larger sign at the event, as you can see here: The protester was escorted away by security, while Gomez recovered from an initial shock and went on to show her appreciation for the young designers on hand. “Thank you so much for coming out,” she said. “I’m so excited to be a part of this and so excited to see what you guys did with it, you did an amazing job!” The protest was led by a group called United Students Against Sweatshops. Among other complaints, it says that Adidas has refused to pay $1.8 million in legally owed severance to thousands of workers in Indonesia. As a result, they cannot afford school for their children. “We’re here to tell Selena Gomez that she should cut ties with Adidas because Adidas has refused to pay severance to 2,800 garment workers who sewed its apparel for over 10 years,” Claire Lewis, a 22-year-old member of the group told Yahoo. “We’ve been campaigning for the last year.”
