Source: George Pimentel / Getty During a recent sit down interview with Ellen Degeneres , media mogul Oprah Winfrey opened up about how I recent brush with pneumonia almost got very serious. Winfrey stopped by the talk show while promoting her upcoming tour, when she revealed she had just gotten cleared after a nasty battle with pneumonia. “So, here it is. I came back from overseas and I thought I had a cold — but it wasn’t a cold. I ended up in the emergency room and they said, ‘You have pneumonia.’ And I go home, and pneumonia is nothing to play with, y’all. It is very serious. And I was on antibiotics for a week and the antibiotics weren’t working. And then I go back for another CT scan and they go, ‘It’s actually worse. You should see a lung specialist,” she said.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Could Be Entered Into The Witness Protection Program

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital It’s no secret that Tekashi 6ix9ine has become the most famous snitch in pop culture since Salvatore “Sammy The Bull” Gravano flipped on J ohn Gotti and the Gambino crime family back in the late 90’s. With countless memes having been made comedically highlighting his dime dropping ways, Tekashi’s name has become synonymous with snitching across the Hip-Hop world with little to no sympathy for the troll turned government informant. But what will become of the rainbow-haired rapper once he gets out of prison and presumably thrown into the witness protection program? Will he still have a career in rap? Would artists and producers be willing to work with him as he walks around with that bright as his hair scarlet “S” on his person? Could he even live a normal life in the age of social media? The New York Times recently published a piece exploring what could await Daniel Hernandez once he gets out of prison and possibly leaves his Tekashi 6ix9ine days behind him. Minya Oh, best known as Miss Info, the founder of the hip-hop news website MissInfo.tv and a former host on the rap radio station Hot 97 in New York, called the 6ix9ine saga a “Greek telenovela tragicomedy,” and predicted that he would face a complex conundrum upon being released: curiosity would be at an all-time high, but within the hip-hop community, so would animus. “In the attention economy, just knowing that 6ix9ine might open his mouth somewhere is like shipping platinum,” she said. “But nobody with any of their own value will ever stand next to him. So he has to exist in a vacuum and can’t leave his house. All doable things for an artist in 2019 and beyond.” Labels would be reticent to allow their artists to work with him, Ms. Oh added, “But they all think when he gets out of jail, he will be a big draw.” But at what cost to the reputation of the label or the artist they pair with Hip-Hop’s “Henry Hill” ? Should Tekashi try and find that there is no path for him to get back into the rap game on the monumental scale he was at the height of his pre-snitch career, he can always go about the life of an everyday civilian getting by on a 9 to 5. Such a path would not be unprecedented. The government has successfully relocated and protected high-profile witnesses in the past; mobsters have started over as bakery owners, and reformed assassins have found new careers as doll salesmen, two former federal law enforcement officials said. “Despite how connected we are, and the appetite for social media content in this country, there are places where, if this kid gets a haircut and wears normal clothes, no one would know or care who he is,” said Jay Kramer, a former F.B.I. official who worked on organized crime cases. He might have to come out of pocket to get rid of his very recognizable face tattoos though as it doesn’t seem like the US is going to be coming out of pocket for cosmetic purposes. There is almost nothing in Mr. Hernandez’s background that suggests a capacity for discretion, and it is unlikely the United States Marshals Service, which runs the witness protection program, would pay for the removal of Mr. Hernandez’s signature face tattoos. If Tekashi decides to keep his facial features intact he might as well be signing his own death warrant because that alone is that visible scarlet letter that the world has become familiar with.

“Born Again” MAGA Enthusiast Kanye West Reportedly Will Take Sunday Service Nation Wide

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Consolidated News Pictures / Getty Rumors have been circulating that MAGA Ye wanted to open his own church , but according to reports Kanye West wants to take his Sunday Service sessions across the country. Yeezy and his traveling choir could be coming to a church or whatever venue he chooses to put religious spins on your favorite classics soon. According to Page Six , the “born again” rapper wants to take his newfound love for remixing secular songs with gospel music across the nation. Per Page Six : Kanye’s had three prayer-type sessions in three weeks. He calls them his Sunday Service. First at his California home. Just family and friends. Then Chicago where he was raised. Then Atlanta, where he was born. He plans to continue this mission across the country. The man travels with a gospel chorus. They sing at the services. He just preached in front of 1,000 congregants and told how “reconnecting with my faith has helped me be a better husband and father.” He performed with a gospel choir and sang one of his own songs. After the service, Kanye greeted comedian Chris Tucker, Jermaine Dupri, and Nelly. No pew was reserved for  Taylor Swift . This seems totally on par with West holding a service at Monster Lake Ranch in Cody. Wyoming , recently. There he covered Nirvana classics much to the delight of those who attended. I’m so sad I’m not there!!! https://t.co/f4gMlpaLSO — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) September 22, 2019 There are still many on the fence with Ye’s foray into religion with many questioning if this is just a money grab or him genuinely wanting to spread the word. We are down with anything that helps him get his mind right, BUT we still waiting on him to denounce wearing the red hat and canoodling with the racist-in-chief, Donald Trump. This also follows the news that his rumored “gospel album” Jesus Is King is on the way. — Photo: Consolidated News Pictures / Getty

Will Smith Will Portray Harlem Crime Boss Nicky Barnes In Upcoming Netflix Film, ‘The Council’

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty W e already got a film revolving around Frank Lucas portrayed by Denzel Washington in American Gangster , now its Nicky Barnes turn. Collider is reporting that Will Smith will take on the role of the Harlem crime boss in the Netflix film The Council . Two-time Oscar nominee @WillSmith finds his 'American Gangster,' as he's set to play notorious NYC crime boss Nicky Barnes in the Netflix movie 'The Council.' https://t.co/hYySb58gqk — Collider (@Collider) September 24, 2019 The Council will see the actor teaming up with Peter Landesman again who also wrote Concussion which Smith also starred in. Per Collider: Concussion  filmmaker  Peter Landesman wrote the script, which delves into the never-before-told story of a crime syndicate consisting of seven African-American men who ruled Harlem in the 1970s and early ’80s. This was no ordinary crime syndicate, as the men dreamed of a self-sufficient and self-policing African American city-state, funded by revolutionizing the drug game. The movie centers on the Shakespearean court intrigue between The Council’s king, Nicky Barnes, dubbed “Mr. Untouchable” by the New York Times, and all the different members — as one unlikely rising protégé emerges. The Council won’t be Barnes first time on the big screen. In 2007’s American Gangster he was portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr. and wasn’t too pleased that story revolved around Lucas. Barnes was arrested and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He eventually became a federal informant after he became upset with how his criminal empire was being run while he was behind bars. Barnes was released in 1998 and placed in witness protection. He passed away in 2012, information about his death wasn’t released until this year.

Matt Jackson of Jackson Pictures and Jason Essex of Anonymous Nobodies will also serve as producers. Photo: VALERIE MACON / Getty

This Is Us Season Creator Breaks Down Totally Insane Season 4 Premiere

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This Is Us just did it again. We guess we shouldn’t be surprised at this point. And yet: That’s sort of the whole point, isn’t it? On  This Is Us Season 4 Episode 1 , which aired Tuesday evening on NBC, the beloved drama shifted our focus from its core characters to a bunch fo newbies… prior to wrapping up the premiere with yet another twist that brought everything together. Appropriately titled “Strangers,” the episode introduced fans to: Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison), an intense military officer whose wartime stint in Afghanistan left her detached, drinking and not very close to her husband,  Ryan (Nick Wechsler), and their young son. After losing some control, along with her loved ones, Cassidy sought assistance from a veteran’s support group. From there, we saw her first meeting was interrupted by… Griffin Dunne’s Nicky , who hurled a chair through the window in a fit of drunken anger. Then there was Malik (Asante Blackk), a teenager who’s attempting to provide for a young daughter — at any cost. This new character’s parents are Darnell (Omar Epps) and Kelly (Marsha Stephanie Blake), who shower him with affection and also plenty of babysitting. Darnell made sure that Malik had a few moments of carefree bliss at a friend’s barbecue, where the latter grew instantly smitten with a new-to-Philly girl whose name is… Deja (Lyric Ross). Following along so far? Because we’re about to change time periods. In a flash-forward, viewers met a bold, quippy, struggling blind musician … who married the waitress at the diner he happened to visit by happenstance … and is now enjoying burgeoning fame, because this guy is… Jack (Blake Stadnik). Yes, present-day premature son of Kate and Toby! Both grandmother and mother had music dreams — and Jack was the one who seemed to turn similar dreams into an actual, successful reality. There’s your major Season 4 premiere twist, folks. Elsewhere, however, this opener was anchored in the past, traveling back to the early 1970s as Jack and Rebecca returned from their amazing road trip and were feeling out the possibilities of this new romance. Jack was invited to meet her parents (the incomporable Elizabeth Perkins and Tim Matheson) at a country club dinner, where our favorite underdog Vietnam veteran managed to impress everyone at the table. Ultimately, however, Rebecca’s father shook his hand … and told Jack that wasn’t good enough for his daughter. That’s a lot to take in overall, of course. Thankfully, showrunner Dan Fogelman spoke to Entertainment Weekly and broke down this shocking This Is Us premiere. Why did he introduce new characters in this fashion? Normally you would meet characters through the eyes of your main characters, which always gives you a little bit of a skewed perspective, because you’re meeting them through our characters. But that’s not how you meet strangers in real life. The first time you meet the person who becomes your husband or wife or your new boss or your business partner, they’ve had a whole life before you and the meeting with them is your first experience of them. So I wanted to give the audience that feeling of getting to know these people before you got to know them in relation to our main characters. What will the relationship between Cassidy and Kevin be like? The relationship is complicated, it’s formative, and it’s a very deep, interesting, bizarre relationship. And whether or not it’s ever romantic is for the series to delve into a little bit later on. But it’s an interesting thing when you look back — she’s going to be somebody who adjusts a part of the course of Kevin’s life. As is the entire first half of the season that he’s embarking on. How far might the show flash forward? Beyond Jack at the concert? I mean, anything’s possible. It’s not in the current plan right now… We do have plans for the future and that which we call “the deeper future” — because we call it the one where Rebecca’s in bed “the deep future” — but I think we would only being going past that linearly. Meaning a continuation of where we’ve been with Jack, but not even jumping further into the 2300s or anything like that. How will Jack’s blindness affect Kate and Toby in the present day going forward? It’s a gigantic story… Raising a child is a complicated process, and raising a blind child comes with extra challenges. Obviously, having a newborn child — with or without sight — is a challenging time for young parents. For any parents. You’re snipping at each other, you’re exhausted. [Now] there’s added stuff. This was not expected. It’s a surprise and that’s a big part of their season this year. View Slideshow: 13 TV Shows Canceled Way Too Soon

Thomas Ravenel: EXPOSED on Video Taking ‘Shrooms!

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last month, Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel wrapped up their custody war with more or less of a draw. That may change, however, and not just because of Thomas’ guilty plea to assault and battery. Kathryn has new evidence that the court may want to consider, starting with a video of Thomas doing drugs. According to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail , Thomas Ravenel may be in hot water with Charleston family court. In a new video submitted to the court, he appears to be taking hallucinogenic mushrooms at a party. “I’ve never tried this in my life,” Thomas says in the reported video. He takes out a baggie, filled with what are implied to be psychotropic fungi. “Just one,” he then says. “Just one.” “You’re gonna do that right now?” a woman’s incredulous voice can be heard saying. “Thomas, no!” the wise voice admonishes. “No, you’re, like, gonna geek out right now!” If one were to partake in hallucinogens, particularly those they have never taken before, they would want to do so with a sober babysitter to make sure that they do not have a bad reaction. Experimenting with drugs in a crowd can be … dangerous. Even if you don’t have a health crisis, you might strip off your clothes or soil yourself. “I wouldn’t want to do it,” the woman advises him. “I don’t want to hallucinate.” As someone who once had an allergic reaction that plagued him with days of hallucinations, I’d have to agree. Thomas, however, sounded indifferent over the potential use of the alleged substance during the video. “It’s just mushrooms,” he tells the woman dismissively. Interestingly, this is not the first time that Thomas and “magic mushrooms” have come up recently. In an affidavit, Thomas was accused of having advised a friend that said fungus, despite its properties, will not show up in urine tests. Kathryn was clearly concerned that Thomas might find ways to bypass court-ordered urine tests designed to keep Kensie and Saint safe. Kathryn’s affidavit also accused Thomas of having sent her a video in which he calls his child by the wrong name and slurs his words. The implication is that he must have been under the influence, in defiance of court orders. “The time that we had a pool party,” Kathryn recalls of their personal history. “And,” she narrates. “Thomas was so drunk while holding Kensie that he fell into the pool with her as a baby.” Kathryn continues: “and I had to jump in to grab Kensie:” She also cites “the Christmas where Thomas flew into a range [sic] and threw the Christmas tree that I had decorated across the room.”  “The time he put my fake fur coat in a tub full of water…” Kathryn recalls. She makes reference to “the time he threw a lamp at me and glass shattered everywhere;” “And,” Kathryn’s written recollection mentions. “The time he threw an astray [sic] in my face.” These are horrifying accusations, and it seems that Kathryn wishes to connect Thomas’ alleged drug use with his abhorrent behavior. There is another disgusting incident mentioned in court documents. “And the time …when he masturbated on my back while I was asleep,” Kathryn writes. She says that he did this “because he was mad at me for rejecting his advances for sex (because I was exhausted and pregnant).” “I also discovered that he had been watching muscleman porn that night,” she concludes. For the record, I don’t know exactly what muscleman porn is even after looking it up (yes, I put that in my search history; I’m so brave). The important part of that accusation is ejaculating upon someone without her consent in order to feel in control and powerful. Kathryn is concerned that Thomas is up to his old tricks and violating the custody terms. Will the court agree? View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!

Steve Kazee: Who is Jenna Dewan’s Brand New Baby Daddy?!?

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jenna Dewan announced a very exciting piece of news this week: She and boyfriend Steve Kazee are expecting a baby! It’s unexpected, but it’s true! “We are beyond overjoyed and couldn’t be happier to be expanding our family!” the couple told People Magazine on Tuesday morning, keeping the announcement short, yet awfully sweet. The 38-year old former World of Dance host welcomed her first child, Everly, in May 2013 with her estranged husband, Channing Tatum. Those attractive stars stunned the universe about a year and a half ago upon announcing their marriage was over. “We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple,” Tatum and Dewan said at the time, adding in their joint statement: “We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. “Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now. “There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision – just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible” Dewan and Kazee then started dating early in the fall of 2018, but they’ve kept their romance largely under the radar, prompting many to ask the following question about learning the actress is expecting: Who the heck is Steve Kazee?!? For starters, he actually won the 2012 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for Once . Among other biographical tidbits? Steve Kazee was born and raised in Ashland, Kentucky. He is an alumnus of Fairview High School and Morehead State University. He moved to New York City in 2002 and received his MFA from the Graduate Acting Program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. He’s also one of the busy, successful, veteran actors whose face you may very well recognize, even if you can’t remember his name. He has enjoyed roles on such programs as Numb3rs… NCIS… CSI: Crime Scene Investigation… Elementary… Drop Dead Diva… and Shameless. “She’s very happy,” a People source says of Dewan in reference to her romance with Kazee and, we presume, her pregnancy. In February, Kazee shared a tribute to her on Valentine’s Day with a photo of Dewan looking at the camera from a bed. This is what he wrote at the time: “Somehow, inexplicably, I’ve been granted the honor to have this be the person that I get to be side by side with throughout this wild journey we call life. “Jenna I don’t know what I did to deserve your love but I will always be so thankful that our lives found their way to each other. Here’s looking at you, kid.” How sweet, right? Sounds like prime father material to us!

Issa Rae Invests In Black Woman-Led Tech Startup

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

T hroughout her entire career actress and producer Issa Rae has utilized her platform and work in the entertainment industry to empower Black women, and now she’s doing the same in the tech space. According to Variety , Rae recently invested in a Black woman-led startup. Issa Rae Acquires Stake in Streamlytics, a Streaming-Media Data Startup https://t.co/8QU69UHKH3 — Variety (@Variety) September 24, 2019 The Los Angeles-based company—dubbed Streamlytics—was founded by entrepreneur Angela Benton . The startup—which was created in 2018—utilizes media consumption data to bring transparency to the content consumed on popular streaming services and gives consumers the ability to own their data. Benton, who founded the first global accelerator for people of color, has been a fierce advocate for diversity and inclusion in tech. She hopes to use Streamlytics as an avenue to generate data that reflects the choices of viewers of color. Through Streamlytics she wants to create a space where minority consumers can not only access their streaming data but can monetize it as well. So far, the company has used data from Netflix and plans on expanding to other platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and social media sites. Benton is grateful to have Rae on board. “Having Issa involved as an owner is beyond exciting,” she said in a statement. “Her pioneering work as both a creator and as a businesswoman creating digital-first content that has transcended the internet-only medium aligns seamlessly with our company’s core values on ownership.” Rae is excited to invest in a company that will change the landscape of streaming data. She says platforms like Streamlytics are “necessary for transparency and consumer ownership.” Companies like the one created by Benton are needed as studies show that African American media usage is higher across different platforms. Black women are stepping up to invest in women of color-led startups. Actress Keshia Knight Pulliam teamed up with entrepreneur Arian Simone to launch a $5 million venture capital fund to support startups created by Black women.

Jessica Simpson Stuns Fans: I Lost 100 Freakin’ Pounds!

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jessica Simpson can lay claim to many accomplishments in her young life: She’s been a pop star, an actress, a handbag designer, a business mogul, and of course, a mom: Some folks in Jessica’s situation might be inclined to rest on their laurels and become complacent in their achievements. But not, Mrs. Simpson-Johnson. No, the mother of three is still dropping jaws on Instagram, and not only because she still knows her way around a bikini selfie . This week, Jess is making waves thanks to the pic below — and the stunning revelation that came along with it. “6 months. 100 pounds down (Yes, I tipped the scales at 240),” she wrote on Instagram. “My first trip away from #BIRDIEMAE and emotional for many reasons, but so proud to feel like myself again,” she added. “Even when it felt impossible, I chose to work harder.” Yes, Jessica welcomed a baby girl back in March — and in the months since she’s lost an astonishing 100 pounds. Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak also shared a pic (above) of Jess, and he sang the 39-year-old’s praises in a heartfelt caption: “Beyond proud of this incredible woman. Been working together for over 12 years and she’s always the most warm, sweet, polite, and respectful person in the world,” Harley shared on Instagram. “And on top of it all, after being nonstop pregnant for as long as I can remember, she’s down 100 pounds and looks younger today than she was when we met. “Shout out to the awesome @sydneyliebes #fitclients #jessicasimpson.” Jess has yet to go into detail about exactly how she lost all that weight, but you can bet details are forthcoming. After all, Simpson is nothing if not candid with her fans. Jessica flaunted her massive baby bump in an unforgettable Instagram pic while she was carrying baby Birdie, and throughout her latest pregnancy, she opened up about her various difficulties in refreshingly frank social media posts. Jess is no doubt a talented singer and actress. But it’s that candor and self-deprecating sense of humor that fans have really responded to over the course of her career. Oh, and as a bonus, she might now be able to tell us all how to drop 100 pounds in six months! View Slideshow: Jessica Simpson Shows Off Plump Lips, Gets Destroyed on Instagram

Andrew Glennon Gushes Over Baby James Amid Amber Portwood Scandal

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We wished that we could be shocked, but Amber Portwood has not been fired by MTV. But her troubles aren’t over, yet. As she reels from the scandal after fans heard Andrew Glennon’s harrowing audio of her abuse , Andrew’s priorities lie elsewhere. He’s doting on his precious son, James, and gushing over his little boy on social media. Fans are eating it up. Andrew Glennon took to Instagram to sharea  pair of fun, adoring photos of him and baby James. “The Bubbs. :)” James begins his sweet caption, including a smiley face emoticon. He praises his baby boy as the “most curious and loving man I know.” A curious baby is a very good sign about his intelligence and development! “Able to reverse engineer anything,” Andrew announces. “And leave it a mess in a single bound.” Andrew wasn’t the only one handing out compliments and praise. One follower congratulated him for remaining steadfast in the face of horror, abuse, and uncertainty. “I admire you for your ability to stand up against how you’ve been treated,” the comment begins. “You’re teaching your son very important lessons,” the fan praises. “And,” the follower concludes. “I know he will grow up to see you as his hero. Good job daddy!” In this day and age, “daddy” is probably not what you want to call a man on the internet unless you really, really mean it. “Such a great papa!” cheers another follower. That same fan continues: “Great to see a beautiful baby with a even better single dad!” “Your (sic) doing a great job raising James,” praises another. The comment suggests: “just dont let him forget about his sister Leah.” The follower advises: “keep in contact with her and her parents Gary and Kristina, she seems to love him dearly” That last followr’s advise was so good and well-intentioned that Andrew responded. “Spoke with Gary,” Andrew announced. “And planning a baby James visit with him, Kristina, Emmy, and Leah soon,” he revealed. Andrew adds: “Just need to pick a day.” Oh, that is both wonderful and exciting. Amber does not have custody of Leah, of course. As fans are hopeful that James will similarly be protected by the time that this ugly business is over, it’s good to remember that they’re siblings. Different dads does not make James and Leah non-siblings. They’re just half-siblings — which is emotionally the same as siblings, folks. And the fact that the person they have in common happens to be a truly terrible mother also does not matter. James and Leah should be in each other’s lives, and it’s wonderful that both Gary and Andrew are taking the steps to ensure that. Despite the evidence that suggests that Amber was verbally and physically abusive towards Andrew, some fans have stood by her. These fans tend to make arguments along the lines of how Andrew must have manipulated her to get her to behave that way. That sounds awfully close to cries of “she shouldn’t have made me mad” that countless of abusers have used as an excuse. Folks, no amount of “manipulation,” even if it were real, could excuse domestic violence. We hope that Amber’s children continue to remain safe from the toxic environment that follows her wherever she goes.
