L Boogie TBD: 6 Stages Of Grief When Lauryn Hill Cancels A Show Or Is Late

Posted on July 26, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Lauren Beasley / Lauren Beasley Ms. Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest. Let’s get that out the way. Outside of her classic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album, she has released rap tunes and Unplugged performances to get fans through life. Which is why it can be so disappointing when her shows take a turn for the negative. For example, Lauryn has already canceled several dates on her Miseducation 20th Anniversary Tour, including her Wednesday show in Charlotte, North Carolina, her Thursday show in Raleigh, her Sunday show in St. Petersburg, Florida, her August 2 show in Jacksonville, Florida, and her August 17 show in Bristow, Virginia. According to Tampa Bay Times , her Tuesday, July 31 date in Miami has been rescheduled to October 15, while her July 5 concert in Virginia Beach has been pushed back to August 15, according to The Virginia Pilot . Live Nation said the canceling and rescheduling was due to “unforeseen production issues.” All of this comes just days after a tragic show in Toronto where L Boogie was over an hour late and only performed for 45 minutes (for what was supposed to be a nearly two hour set). So disappointed in the Lauryn Hill concert tonight. Made fans wait over an hour and then performed for 45 mins max. Could barely recognize the songs she attempted to sing. Cash grab for sure. Don’t waste your money on her! — Jennifer Azevedo (@WWJenn) July 19, 2018 *Sigh* Considering Lauryn’s long track record of being late, fans shouldn’t be surprised by this news. But that doesn’t stop us from going through our own grieving process! Swipe through for the six stages of grief when Ms. Hill hits us with the cancel button or is over an hour late to her own show!

Meh Shot: Tom Cruise Breaks Bones in Jack Reacher Teaser Trailer

Posted on July 3, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Oh, what a coincidence! Here comes the trailer for Tom Cruise ‘s Jack Reacher (formerly One Shot ), the action film based on a novel by Lee Child that stars the soon-to-be-divorcé as an ex-army cop who apparently drives around town in muscle cars getting into fights. The kind of angry, controlled rage-machine who gets into brawls, specializes in strategically breaking bones, asks questions later, etc. The badass clothing doesn’t quite fit on Cruise, but you know. He’s Tom Cruise . Plot is incidental to this first tease of a trailer, which sets up the eponymous loner-hero in mythic terms. “There’s this guy,” bandaged beaten up hospital guy says. “He doesn’t care about proof. He doesn’t care about the law. He only cares about what’s right.” Then comes that reedy Cruise voice to ruin it all: “You think I’m a hero? I am not a hero. And if you’re smart, that scares you.” Well, I guess I’m not smart. Because, yeah. Yawn . I’m not one of those folks hung up on how wrong Cruise is for the role, physically speaking, though Reacher’s dimensions (posted helpfully at Child’s website ) do make you wonder which actors out there might have fit the bill a little better: Measurements: 6’5″, 220-250 lbs., 50″ chest Hair: Dirty-blond Eyes: Ice blue Clothing: 3XLT coat, 95 cm. pants’ inseam It’s not even that Cruise isn’t the physical ideal for Reacher. The wandering ex-military bruiser with no regard for the law doesn’t really sit well on him. But we shall see; with writer-director Christopher McQuarrie ( The Usual Suspects , The Way of the Gun ) behind the camera, Josh Olson ( A History of Violence ) on scripting duties, and Werner Herzog playing baddie , there’s enough promise left in this thing. Still, while a lot of folks are getting a Drive vibe from this, I get more of a Gone in 60 Seconds feel — the middle-aged action hero wearing leather jackets, racing around in classic cars, lounging around with hot ladies in their underwear. It already feels like the mid-life crisis wish-fulfillment movie of the year for older dudes. Verdict: Unless the next batch of trailers really wow me, I’m only hanging in for the Herzog.

Andy Griffith, America’s Sheriff, Dead at 86

Posted on July 3, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A star of Broadway, movies and television, Andy Griffith died Tuesday at his home on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The once aspiring preacher, trombone player and music teacher, he landed his first movie role in A Face in the Crowd in 1957. But it was his role as the affable and folksy-wise Sheriff Andy Taylor in the 1960s sitcom The Andy Griffith Show that won him legions of fans. Griffith had already had some experience in the limelight by the time the hit television show hit the air, according to The New York Times, which reported Griffith’s passing, which received confirmation by the Dare County sheriff Doug Doughtie today. He starred in the Broadway play No Time for Sergeants followed by Face (one of six movies during his career) to good reviews. He later starred in the 1980s and ’90s courtroom television show Matlock . Still, the fictional town of Mayberry will forever be etched in fans’ memories when it comes to Griffith. His lovable mess-up deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts), Gomer Pyle, young son Opie (Ron Howard) and Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) debuted at number four in the ratings and never dipped below the top 10. It even hit number one its last season in 1968 and it continues in syndication. Griffith’s career slid after the show though he had signed a five-year deal with Universal Pictures, though he never received offers that appealed to him. He told The Virginia Pilot in 2008: “I thought I was hot stuff and go right into the movies. It didn’t work out that way.” After some false starts on follow up shows in the ’70s, he made some made-for-TV movies, but more success followed with his role as a lawyer in the series Matlock which debuted in 1986, which ran until 1992, for NBC, followed by another three years on ABC, longer than The Andy Griffith Show . While official awards mostly alluded him (he never won an Emmy for his role of Sheriff Andy Taylor, while Don Knotts picked up a slew of the trophies throughout the ’60s) Griffith did receive an Emmy nomination for the 1981 TV movie Murder in Texas . He received recognition in 1987 with a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Male Performer in a New TV Program and in 2004 TV Land gave the The Andy Griffith Show its Legend Award. And perhaps ultimately fitting, his character was placed at number 8 in TV Guide’s top “50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time” in 2004. [Source: The New York Times ]
