Dog the Bounty Hunter Pays New Tribute to Late Wife, Announces Second Celebration of Her Life

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Beth Chapman may be gone. But she is very much not forgotten. A day after the late reality star and wife of Dog the Bounty Hunter was laid to rest in Hawaii , Duane Chapman shared a new tribute to his soulmate on social media. And he announced that a second celebration of her amazing life will also take place next week. Having poured his heart out on many occasions since Beth passed away, Duane kept the caption to the above photo very simple, straightforward and factual this time around. It simply included the time, date and location of the aforementioned second memorial service: July 13, 2019 – Heritage Christian Center. 14401 E. Exposition Avenue. Aurora, Colorado 80012 – Doors open at 1:00 Service starts at 2:00. On June 26, Beth passed away at 51 years old after a long battle with throat cancer. She had been diagnosed with the disease in 2017… gone into remission… and then was forced into emergency surgery this past November after the illness returned. Wrote Duane as sad confirmation of her passing last week : “It’s 5:32 in Hawaii. This is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.” The famous bounty hunter than spoke to reporters and opened up even more about the loss of his wife. “I loved her so much,” Chapman told these journalists shortly after his wife’s death, adding: “As Lazarus lay, Jesus said he’s not dead, he’s sleepeth. My final words are Beth isn’t dead, she’s sleeping… “I hope to god there is a God. I trained myself [to think] ‘What would Jesus do?’ and I hope I’m not just talking to myself. I hope there is a God and if there is, I’m gonna see my honey again. “That’s all we can do is hope.” As for other details of this upcoming memorial? Fans will be able to share their own memories – from photos to videos to simple thoughts and condolences – by sending them to Richard Moore, a member of Duane “Dog” Chapman’s media team. His email is: richard@dogthebountyhunter.com. Three of Beth’s children — Bonnie Jo Chapman, Cecily Chapman and Lyssa Chapman – spoke out after the first memorial service, expressing their sadness and sorrow and thanking supporters for their well wishes. Bonnie, for instance, wrote in an Instagram Story update: “Thank you, everyone, who came today. She’d love the ceremony and the flowers everyone brought. Thank you for joining us on this emotional ride.” Lyssa also shared a message about the service. “Someone wake me up from this awful dream,” she wrote. “I have no words. Still in disbelief. Pray for our family, as we lost our strongest member.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Little People, Big World: Are the Roloffs Snubbing Audrey and Jeremy?!?

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

On May 13, Tori Roloff and Zach Roloff announced they were expecting their second child. On May 14, we published an article with the headline  Little People, Big News: Roloffs Congratulate Tori and Zach on Impending Baby . This post included Tweets from family members such as Matt and Audrey, all of whom sent their very best wishes to the couple on this wildly exciting piece of news. Why is this relevant at the moment? Because Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff announced yesterday that they are also expecting their second child. “Baby #2 is coming in January!!! Ember is gonna be a big sister! We are so grateful and excited for this little blessing to join our family,” Audrey wrote as a caption to the photos above and below, which include both her first child and a photo of her sonogram. Added Jeremy, echoing his wife’s message and sentiment: “Ember Jean is going to be a big sister! We’re very excited to grow our family. Thanks for following our journey and for your continual support of our family.” That was then. And now? Nothing. Nothing at all from any of Audrey and Jeremy’s loved ones. Just a few hours ago, Amy Roloff posted a picture of son Zach playing soccer. In this same time period, Matt Roloff posted a picture of himself in Cabo with girlfriend Caryn Chandler. One day ago, Tori shared an adorable family photo of herself, Zach and their son in San Francisco. Our point here is that the Roloffs have been active on social media in the 24 hours or so since Jeremy and Audrey made their huge announcement — and yet no relatives made any mention of the pregnancy at all. Such a (non) reaction has to make you think, doesn’t it? In the past, we’ve documented the alleged feud between Jacob Roloff (who has not commented on the pregnancy, either) and Audrey, as the former reality stars appeared to avoidn each other at all times and at all costs. Insiders have claimed the two disagree strongly over their faith and religion . Specifically, Jacob has supposedly taken issue with how outspoken Audrey can be about Christianity and God, especially when she sometimes combines talk about such topics with items she and Jeremy are trying to sell. Might other Roloffs feel a similar way about Audrey? Or might they be angry that Audrey and Jeremy left Little People, Big World last summer? The couple took all viewers back about a year ago when they confirmed this decision, remarking that it was simply time to move on and focus on other projects. (Audrey and Jeremy have since written a book and started a podcast.) “A year ago I made the decision that this season would be our last,” Jeremy wrote at the time, adding: “It has been an amazing run, and I can’t say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride… “We thank you, and always enjoy when we get a chance to meet one of you. Whether it be in the airport, on the street, at pumpkin season or at one of our upcoming Beating50percent events! “THANK YOU for all the love and support. Your messages, comments, gifts, and mail are noticed and appreciated. You guys are the best.” None of Audrey and Jeremy’s loved ones seemed especially irritated by this decision when it was made, and TLC still renewed the show for another season. But it’s hard not to read into the radio silence in response to this pregnancy announcement now and not wonder… do better feelings remain?

Kylie Jenner: I Never Had Any Privacy So Neither Will My Daughter!

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe it’s been 17 months since Kylie Jenner welcomed her first child . Then again, little Stormi has already experienced more media exposure than some stars who have spent decades in the industry. Of course, there’s been considerable debate over whether or not that’s a good thing. Kylie grew up with little to no privacy, and we think it’s safe to say she turned out alright. After all, debates about the meaning of “self-made” notwithstanding, becoming the world’s youngest self-made billionaire is pretty impressive. But we all know that for every child star who grows up to be a great success, there are several dozen that burn out before they reach adulthood. So is Kylie taking a risk by putting her daughter in the spotlight at such a young age? Well, she certainly doesn’t seem to think so — though she’s the first to admit her own upbringing presented a slew of unique challenges. Kylie covers the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia , and she’s joined in the pictorial by her mother and daughter. Asked about the obstacles she’s faced in the limelight, Kylier admits it wasn’t always easy: “Honestly, I don’t remember a time when I did have privacy because we started our show when I was 9 years old,” she tells the mag. “I feel like I just grew up in it and so I figured out a way of living that is comfortable for me,” she adds. “Of course, there are times when you feel like your privacy is invaded.” These days, in addition to being a new mom and a reality star, Kylie is one of the most successful moguls in the world of cosmetics. That’s a lot to take on at 21, but Stormi’s mom says she’s figured out the perfect work-life balance. “But I feel like I’ve learned how to pull back when I need to,” she reveals. “I love my fans and we have such a strong relationship. I do love sharing and inspiring and bringing people into my life. I feel like I was definitely made to do what I do.” Kylie credits her own mother with teaching her how to pull off such a tricky balancing act, and she says the solution to not getting overwhelmed is simple: “I’ll take the week off and spend more time with Stormi, or I like to go on trips when I’m feeling overwhelmed,” she explains. “I just have my little message in life. I feel that we all do, even if you’re not famous,” Kylie adds. “As human beings, we get stressed out and we all have our little way of coming back together.” While we’re sure the debate will continue over how young is too young to kick off a kid’s media career, it sounds like Kylie’s got a lot of wisdom to pass on to little Stormi! And we’re sure she owes much of what she’s learned to the world’s most famous momager! View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Officially Named Youngest Self-Made Billionaire of All-Time

Colt Johnson: New Girlfriend Asks 90 Day Fiance Fans to Stop Bullying Him

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Late last month, 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Colt Johnson’s new girlfriend was revealed . She’s young, she’s hot, and like Coltee’s ex, she’s Brazilian. Now, we know her name, and she has opened up about how she really feels about dating Coltee. We previously reported on Colt’s alleged new lady love after he clued followers in on her existence a couple of weeks ago. At the time, someone reported that she was a friend-of-a-friend, which gave the allege source the inside scoop. That person claimed that this woman was dating Colt on a lark, but we emphasized at the time that we could not confirm the story’s veracity. Now we know this gorgeous woman’s name — Jess Caroline. And to hear her tell it, she’s dating Coltee because she wants to, not as some sort of prank. Jess Caroline spoke about the relationship on social media. “I lost my flip flops at the pool party on my first date with him,” Jess wrote. She recalled: “I was barefoot, dirty feet, hair was a mess, and super drunk.” In Touch Weekly reached out to her to confirm that she is dating Colt and that someone else is not just pranking 90 Day Fiance fans with her photo. “We have been together for a while,” Jess has shared. “[Anyone] who knows me,” Jess wrote. “Knows that I’m chill and have good intentions.” In other words, the claim that she was dating Colt because the idea seemed funny and nothing more sounds pretty bogus. “Also,” she continued. “That I don’t judge people’s choices. …” So what is her purpose for going on a date with the infamous reality star? Jess explained: “I’m with him because I want [to be] and because he wants [to be].” “We have chemistry,” Jess revealed. She knows that people have said cruel things about Colt. “If you say, ‘He’s ugly and fat,’ well, he can lose weight,” she acknowledged. So can a lot of people, though dramatic weight loss is usually unhealthy. The real point is that Colt’s weight is nobody’s business. “The important thing,” Jess emphasized. “Is how he treats me.” “He makes me laugh and he’s nice,” she claimed. “We like the same movies and songs.” “I know about his past,” Jess wrote. “And have watched the show. In reference to Larissa, she said: “I don’t defend him or her.” They were two people in a deeply toxic relationship, and Jess sees that. “It was just a relationship that didn’t work out,” she expressed. “And life goes on.” “I’m not going to be rude to anyone,” Jess declared. Meaning that no one should expect her to launch an all-out attack on Larissa. Jess would like to see people on social media and beyond be nicer. “Let’s have some empathy to people and their choices,” Jess asked.  “Let’s try to make things lighter,” she suggested. “And criticize less, please.” You know what? That’s pretty reasonable. Larissa Lima has also moved on from Colt, dating a younger, hotter dude. She wrote on Instagram that she is “happy” that Colt is dating again. “Life goes on,” Larissa wrote of her attitude. That’s very similar to the sentiment that Jess expressed. Coltee really does have a type. View Slideshow: Larissa Lima: Heartbroken After Colt Johnson Starts Dating Again?

Kim Kardashian on Taylor Swift-Scooter Braun Feud: I’m Loving It!

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you’re a Swifty a Belieber or simply someone who takes an interest in the latest goings-on within the music industry, then by now you’re probably aware of the bad blood between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun . In case you’re not caught up, here’s a brief rundown of how it all got started: In a move that surprised many industry insiders Braun — who is best known as the manager who “discovered” a talented Canadian kid named Justin Bieber — purchased Big Machine Label Group, which owns the masters to Taylor’s first seven albums. In a lengthy Tumblr post, Swift described the news as her “worst case scenario.” “For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in,” Swift wrote. “I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past.” Swift went on to reveal that she learned of Braun’s acquisition by reading about it online after the news was made public Sunday morning. It’s an awful situation and a nightmare for any artist with such a sizable and valuable body of work. And it’s not at all surprising that Taylor is lashing out at the parties responsible. In the same Tumblr post, she went on the offensive against Braun’s longtime friends, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. “Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it,” Swift wrote. “Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge p0rn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy.” Yes, as you may recall, Swift’s beef with Kanye led to a feud with Kim Kardashian that has yet to be settled. And apparently, Kim regards the events of the past 24 hours as a personal victory. A source tells Radar Online that Kim “has been telling her sisters that she feels vindicated now.” “She loves the fact that she played a part in Taylor’s takedown,” the insider claims . “Taylor got the rug swept from under her, and regardless of if she lied or not, Kim thinks Taylor still lost big.” Taylor is undeniably in the right from a moral perspective, but the public may never see it that way thanks to the A-list names who are fighting on Braun’s side. Already, Bieber has lashed out at Swift  and accused her of bullying Braun and attempting to sic her sizable fan base on his mentor. Demin Lovato echoed those sentiments, writing, “Please stop ‘dragging’ people or bullying them.” Swift has the support of several fellow artists, including Halsey, who promptly spoke out on her behalf. The united front of Kim, Kanye, Justin, Demi, and arguably the world’s most successful talent manager is a lot to go up against — and Taylor might be outmatched in this battle.  View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Calls Out Jack in the Box, Ignites Voracious Fast Food Feud

Duggar Intimacy Tips: Be Joyfully Available to HIS Needs, Always

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

First, there's Jim Bob and Michelle popping out a small army of fundamentalists And then there's the recent backlash over  Jill Duggar's brazenly kinky sex life . It's clear that, despite the family's aversion to front-hugging or dressing nromally, the Duggars are no strangers to sex. The distinction is that for the Duggars, sex happens only within marriage. Beyond that, they have all sorts of advice — both good and appalling — for couples hoping to keep their marriages strong and enduring. Take a look: 1. Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar Share a Drink Michelle Duggar and Jim Bob Duggar enjoyed a drink together in what some would call a shocking public display of affection. 2. Attend to HIS Needs Michelle thinks that it’s a wife’s duty to attend to her husband’s needs — from food to his wardrobe to the marital bed. And she thinks that keeping up with those needs is the secret to a healthy marriage. 3. But only one of those services is exclusive “Anyone can iron Jim Bob’s shirt, anybody can make lunch for him,” Michelle has said. “He can get his lunch somewhere else.” 4. Her advice continues “But you are the only one who can meet that special need that he has in his life for intimacy,” Michelle’s advice goes. “You’re it. You’re the only one.” Interesting — we’re not sure if that worked out so well for Anna. 5. Be “Joyfully Available” to Bone Michelle advises women — well, wives: “And so be available, and not just available, but be joyfully available for him.” 6. Service with a smile “Smile,” Michelle instructs. “And be willing to say, ‘Yes, sweetie I am here for you,’ no matter what.” View Slideshow

Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff: Expecting Baby #2!

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff just shared some pretty exciting news with their fans!” The Little People, Big World stars are happy to announce that their world is about to get even bigger as they are expecting their second child together. That’s right, Audrey Roloff is pregnant and shared the big news online Monday as she held her belly bump and showed off the new baby’s sonogram.  She, Jerem  and 22-month-old daughter Ember  all smiled big for the Instagram pic, as you can see above.  “Baby #2 is coming in January!!!” Audrey wrote in the caption, keeping it simple and straightforward. “Ember is gonna be a big sister! We are so grateful and excited for this little blessing to join our family.” This good news is a major shift from Audrey’s recent post  where she opened up about her and Jeremy’s marriage issues. While many fans were expecting a divorce announcement, a baby announcement was delivered instead.  (yay!)  “To be honest, the last few weeks have been hard on our marriage,” she began her lengthy caption last week, warning her followers it was a “vulnerable post.”  “We have been working through some things and let’s just say there has been a lot of ‘heated fellowship’, morning hugs missed and date nights postponed.” “We are overworked and exhausted from the pace we’ve been running for too long,” she admitted. “We know we need to slow down, but as Dallas Willard puts it, ‘we intend what is right, but we avoid the life that would make it a reality.'” “Instead, we keep running, keep pushing, keep producing and keep squeezing all the margin out of our lives,” the former TLC personality continued.  “It’s robbing our joy, stealing our peace, and hindering our ability to love,” she even went on to remark. The author, who recently wrote a memoir with Jeremy about their relationship and their overall views on marriage, explained to fans that what you see is not always what you get on social media. “If you’ve ever looked at or read a post from us and thought ‘They must just have it all together,’ Volume up for this one… WE DON’T,” she said.  “We fight, we struggle, cry, and face challenges just like anyone.” “I’m saying this here because if you look at my Instagram feed from the past 3 weeks you don’t see the long tearful conversations, the hurtful remarks, the compiling complaints”… …”the critical spirits, the prideful inner dialogue, or our unloving and disrespectful attitudes,” Audrey shared. “You don’t see the full picture.”  However, after seeing the family’s most recent picture, we think it’s safe to say some brighter days are ahead for the parents.  Radar Online reported that the couple decided to leave their reality show last year in hopes of focssing on a new career goal as social media influencers. They also started a podcast and wrote the aforementioned book. “After 14 years, over 300 episodes, and 17 seasons, the time has come,” Jeremy wrote to his personal IG page about a year ago. “A year ago I made the decision that this season would be our last.” “It has been an amazing run, and I can’t say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride,” he said.  Congratulations to Audrey, Jeremy, and baby Ember as they approach this next exciting chapter of their life!  We wish Audrey the happiest and healthiest pregnancy possible!

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott: Faking Illness to Get Out of Lawsuit?

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Faking sick. When you’re a kid it’s a marvelous strategy that can get you out of everything from household chores to algebra tests. But one of the many, many things that sucks about being an adult is that whether you’re faking it or you’ve actually been laid low by illness, you’re still expected to keep your appointments and meet your obligations. That’s a lesson that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are learning the hard way this week. As we’ve reported in the past, Tori and Dean are broke . And we don’t mean “fire the live-in acupuncturist” Hollywood broke. No, these two are flat-out coupon-clipping, mayonnaise sandwich-eating destitute. Okay, so maybe the situation isn’t quite that dire, but Tori and Dean are being sued by creditors left and right, and insiders have claimed that the couple’s debts are far greater than their combined earnings last year. We’re guessing such deep debt is particularly difficult to endure when you’ve spent most of your life in the lap of luxury, as is the case with these two. Anyway, one of the many organizations that claims to have been fleeced by the deadbeat McDermotts is the City National Bank of Los Angeles. The bank alleges that Tori and Dean have failed to pay back a six-figure loan, which has amassed a considerable amount of interest in the 18 months since Tori and Dean made their last payment. The couple was scheduled to appear in court this morning to respond to a lawsuit filed by the bank but they requested a postponement due to McDermott’s sudden illness. The actor posted the above photo over the weekend with a caption reading: “So this happened last night. “I got admitted to hospital with pneumonia, possibly meningitis. “I’ve never been so sick in my life!!!! Thumbs up and spirits up though. And don’t forget to listen to @daddyissuesshow this morning at 9am.” Yes, Dean was healthy enough to plug his podcast, which we assume was pre-recorded. Radar Online has confirmed that Tori and Dean were on the docket at LA County Court, and apparently, they were scheduled to testify in two separate hearings, both of which have been postponed: The appointments were listed as “Hearing on Application for Order for Appearance and Examination of Dean McDermott,” and “Hearing on Application for Order for Appearance and Examination of Tori Spelling,” respectively. The site reports that those hearings have been pushed back in response to Dean’s illness: “Lawyers on both sides agreed to push the hearing to September,” says one insider. The timing of Dean’s hospitalization combined with the fact that he was well enough to post selfies and promote his podcast has led many commenters to speculate that he’s faking it. To be clear — that’s probably not the case. However, if Dean really went to such great lengths to postpone a bankruptcy hearing, then he deserves our undying respect as a master bullsh-t artist.

Taylor Swift BLASTS Scooter Braun, Is "Grossed Out" Manager Now Owns Her Music

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As previously detailed, Taylor Swift has buried the hatchet with Katy Perry . But she’s just gone ahead and brandished another sharp weapon, this time pointing in the direction of music manager extraordinnaire Scooter Braun… … and basically using all of its figurative might on social media. Here’s the somewhat confusing deal: Braun is very good friends with clients such as Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber. A giant in the entertainment field, Braun’s media holding company (Ithaca Holdings LLC) announced in a statement on Sunday that it and Big Machine Label Group reached a “finalized contract” under which Ithaca Holdings will acquire the latter company. Why is this relevant? Because the latter is Swift’s former record label. The deal, made for a reported $300 million, includes Big Machine Music — which means the following; Braun’s company will now control all six albums that Swift has released to date, as well as music from other top artists such as Reba McEntire, Sheryl Crow, and Lady Antebellum. And this does NOT sit well with Swift. Not. At. All. “For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work,” Swift wrote on her Tumblr page on Sunday. She then continued, clearly irate: “Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, [Big Machine founder] Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. “I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. “Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.” And then there was this kicker from Swift: Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. To what is Taylor referring to here? As part of her Tumblr post, Swift shared a photo on her blog that featured Braun, Bieber and Kanye West… posted back during the height of the Taylor-Kanye-Kim Kardashian feud , shortly after Kim outed Swift as an alleged liar in the summer of 2016. Swift drew a red circle around Braun’s face on her post and wrote: “This is Scooter Braun, bullying me on social media when I was at my lowest point. He’s about to own all the music I’ve ever made.” In her Tumplr post, Swift provided examples of supposed bullying by Braun. “Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo). Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked.” Concluded Swift in her emotional blog entry: “Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. “Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it. This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at 15 to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. “And when that man says, ‘Music has value,’ he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.” Braun has now yet responded to these charges, but Bieber actually has. He jumped on Instagram late Sunday and strongly defended his close pal and business associate. We’re just gonna leave his entire response here: Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.. Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed. Neither scooter or i have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line.
