Luis Suarez BITES Italian Opponent: Watch Now!

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Late in the second half of of Uruguay’s opening round World Cup match against Italy today, star striker Luis Suarez appeared to bite defender Giorgio Chiellini. The following video makes this abhorrent action rather obvious: Luis Suarez BITES Opponent Suarez – who has actually gone Mike Tyson on opponents on two previous occasions in his career – was not punished by Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez, despite Chiellini’s protests. The Italian even lowered his jersey to show everyone the bite mark on his shoulder. Just moments after this incident, Uruguay took the lead on a Diego Godin header and went on to win 1-0, qualifying for the round of 16. Italy, meanwhile, was sent packing as a result of the loss. Following the match, Juventus defender Chiellini referred to Suarez’s move as “a disgrace” on Sky Sport Italia, calling for FIFA to discipline the star. FIFA regulations do allow Suarez to be punished retrospectively and it has said it “will gather all the necessary elements in order to evaluate the matter.”

Jenny McCarthy: Out of The View?

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tick… tick… tick… Time may be running out for Jenny McCarthy on The View. The beautiful blonde’s contract with the ABC talk show expires in January – and sources tell Fox News that she’s unlikely to be brought back for a second year, now after her hiring failed to boost ratings. ” Jenny just didn’t appeal to the daytime audience market. They couldn’t relate to her,” a source tells FOX411. “There are a lot of changes taking place now that Barbara [Walters] has left.” The decision to bring McCarthy on board last fall was met with skepticism and criticism by some, as the model’s anti-vaccination beliefs are well-documented at this point. One critic went as far as to refer to McCarthy as a homicidal maniac , while others were shocked ABC would give someone with her viewpoint such a public forum. The network says that its policy prohibits them from discussing talent contracts, but “Jenny has been a welcome addition to the show.” As of April, though, the numbers say otherwise: ratings were down by about 5 percent compared with that time last season. Conversely, CBS’ The Talk has climbed 19 percent from its past season. “Now that Barbara has retired, ABC has more autonomy to hire who they want for the show,” adds this insider. “But no matter what, Barbara will not let this show fail. She wants talent that will appeal to the daytime viewers.” Do you want to see Jenny McCarthy remain on The View?   Yes, she’s insightful Yes, she’s beautiful PASS! View Poll »

Michelle Shocked Rant: Anti-Gay Comments Stun Fans, Spur Cancellations

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Singer Michelle Shocked went on an anti-gay rant in a San Francisco club the other night, leading to the cancelation of several future concert dates. Reports from Sunday’s show at San Francisco’s Yoshi’s say that Shocked, a born-again Christian, railed against gay marriage and the crowd, saying: “You can go on Twitter and say, ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates (anti-gay slur).’” Yikes. Shocked’s now ex-fans predictably went off on Twitter. According to MEOW (Musicians for Equal Opportunity for Women), one audience member tweeted, “wow, she’s a total bigot and said so on stage.” “It was unreal. We had to leave. I am so disappointed.” “Truth is leading to painful confrontation #shortsharpshocked,” Shocked tweeted during her set, before going “full hate speech” in the eyes of many. That concertgoer wasn’t the only disappointed one, as it appears that Michelle Shocked’s touring schedule is getting lighter by the minute … Helen Forster, founder of the Boudler, Colo.-based eTown, said: “In light of recent developments, eTown must cancel the upcoming concert with Michelle Shocked, originally scheduled to take place in May at eTown Hall,” “From the very beginning, our goal as an organization has been to foster a spirit of community and inclusiveness in all that we do.” “We are deeply saddened by today’s news, and are pulling the plug on this event. Anyone who had purchased tickets for the show can receive a full refund.” “We apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate your understanding.” Michelle Shocked also now has openings on March 29, April 24, April 26, and May 5, as well, when she was going to be on stage in Evanston, Ill. The Facebook page of venue Evanston SPACE now reads: “Many of you have reached out already following an ugly rant given by Michelle Shocked at her show in San Francisco last night.” “After speaking with the promoter of that show about the nature of the remarks, it’s clear that this is no longer a show we’re willing to put our name on.” “The May 5th performance at SPACE has been canceled.”

Charlie Sheen: Private School "Doosh Bagz" Are Harassing My Family!

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Charlie Sheen’s beef with his daughter’s former school is reaching new levels as he now claims goons have been threatening her and his ex-wife Denise Richards. He says hooligans supporting the Viewpoint School, where Sam used to attend, left a threatening note and a knife jammed into a tree outside her home. Sheen RAILED on Twitter against the spineless “doosh bagz” connected with L.A.’s expensive Viewpoint School who are terrorizing his family. The actor says his girls “had the pleasure of discovering a steak knife used to nail a note to the tree” and that the note threatened his family directly. Charlie says two people were captured on surveillance tape committing the deed and that the behavior has reached the point where he’s contacted police. Sheen wrote on Twitter: “Here’s why people suck; a group of mindless Viewpoint [School] supporting doosh-bagz have targeted [Denise] and the girls with ‘bullying tactics’ as a response to my call to arms.” His “call to arms” involved urging fans to deface the school with toilet paper, etc., in the wake of Sam allegedly being teased into leaving the school. The school insisted it took appropriate action, but Charlie says Viewpoint “condones” bullying, so he responded in kind – and warned those harassing his family. “Leave them alone,” he Tweeted. “This is not a threat but a promise that justice will be served. I’m not hiding. You are. Show yourselves you spineless cowards.” “Oh that’s right; cockroaches scatter in the light.” “FYI – we have your faces on camera. Police are involved.” Charlie later told TMZ that his Twitter request to hurl dog feces and other objects at the Viewpoint School was more of a “metaphoric” call to arms. Sure it was. In any case … notes stuck in trees with knives? This feud just got real. And you don’t eff with the Warlock.

Clint Eastwood Pledges Support for Gay Marriage

Posted on March 2, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

He’s one of the few big-time celebrities who is also a big-time Republican. But Clint Eastwood has veered from the viewpoint of many Conservatives in one regard: the actor signed the American Foundation for Equal Rights’s “Friend of the Court” brief this week. In doing so, the actor became one of over 100 prominent Republicans to support this gay rights organization’s document, which it has filed with the Supreme Court. In April, the highest court in the land will listen to arguments about the legality of California’s Proposition 8, an amendment that passed in 2008 and which declares “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized” in that state. Those such as Eastwood have affixed their name to this brief in the hope that this gay marriage ban will be overturned. And recent poll revealed that 61 percent of CA residents would support marriage equality. Do you support it?   Support Oppose View Poll »

One Direction Defends Naked Prince Harry: Give Him a Break!

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Royal family may be unhappy with Prince Harry these days, but the hottest boy band on the planet has no problem with the antics of their fellow handsome Brit. Asked by E! News about the naked Prince Harry photos that cropped up a couple weeks ago, members of One Direction stood firmly erect in the young man’s corner. Louis Tomlinson said the incident actually makes Harry a “strong figure because he’s real,” while Niall Horan kept his viewpoint simple: “He’s a 20-odd year-old guy doing what he wants.” Of course, Liam Payne recognized that Prince Harry is not just any 20-odd year-old guy. “A lot of people would have gone away on holiday and whatever, it doesn’t matter for them. For him, it matters,” said Payne. The hullabaloo over the nude pictures appears to be close to blowing over, although Carrie Reichert recently spoke out and extended the story when she spilled details from the night in question. Still, at the end of the day, Harry is young, handsome and single. Until Pippa Milddleton comes to her senses and dates the guy, can you blame him for having a bit of fun?

Cynthia Nixon Labels Her Homosexuality a "Choice"

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Cynthia Nixon finds herself in a bit of trouble within the gay community. The actress – best known for her role as Miranda on Sex and the City , and in a committed relationship with Christine Marinoni – is profiled this week in The New York Times and tells the newspaper: “I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice.” Cynthia Nixon has shaved her head for a role in a Broadway play. But that’s not why the actress is making headlines. Nixon made these comments around the same time Washington became the seventh state to legalize gay marriage, and she doesn’t see her viewpoint as contrasting with the stance of many activists. “A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out,” the actress says. “I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not. “I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can’t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we’re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don’t think that they should define the terms of the debate.” What do you think of Nixon’s comments?

Awkward Hockey Fan Hits on Hot Reporter

Posted on January 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A Chicago Blackhawks fan made the most of his chance at an intermission contest at the United Center. But it had nothing to do with his slap shot in “Shoot The Puck.” He misfired badly on his attempts to score goals and win prizes, but his consolation prize was an interview with lovely Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter Sarah Kustok. After recalling his failure in the contest, he told Kustok “I love you” live on center ice at the Blackhawks vs. Minnesota Wild game last night. Here’s our hero in action: Blackhawks Fan Hits on Reporter This was no casual one-off. The Casanova of Chicago hockey then repeated his profession for good measure, telling her. “You’re so pretty and beautiful. I love you.” Kustok, who blushed and was clearly not expecting this, responded, “I don’t even know what to say. I’m just going to say thank you. I don’t know what to say.” Say you’ll marry him on Center Ice next game Sarah.
