James Lipton Pimp Past: Revealed!

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

James Lipton, best known for hosting Inside the Actor’s Studio on Bravo and for recurring on Arrested Development Season 4 as a prison warden, formerly worked as a pimp. No, really. An actual pimp. He reveals as much in the latest issue of Parade . After talking about how he’s always loved acting and how he grew up poor in Detroit, Lipton tells the magazine that he took on this unusual occupation in the 1950s in Paris. “It was only a few years after the war. Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn’t get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn’t get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into le milieu.” Into prostitution, Lipton means? “Young women desperately needed money for various reasons. They were beautiful and young and extraordinary. There was no opprobrium because it was completely regulated. Every week they had to be inspected medically. The great bordellos were still flourishing in those days before the sheriff of Paris, a woman, closed them down. It was a different time.” Lipton adds that he got into the business via a friend and that he doesn’t believe folks should pay for sex nowadays. “I think if you can’t earn it on your own, then you don’t deserve it.” So there you have it. A reasonable explanation and a… WAIT A MINUTE! JAMES LIPTON WORKED AS A PIMP?!?!?!?

Jason Collins Faces Death Threats Over Gay Reveal

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jason Collins is a gay professional basketball player. And based on this fact, some people on Twitter apparently want the center to be killed. Despite receiving an onslaught of support after he came out of the closet this week, Collins has also been the subject of some serious Internet hate and even a few threats against his life. Among the worst we’ve seen: “Yous a dead f****t talkn on tv Boy.” Listening to Jason Collins describe his gayness as ‘beautiful’ makes me wanna puke. And kill him.” “Jason collins comes out the closet! Kill that biiitttchhhh!!!” “Jason Collins should get the death penalty lol how u a 7 foot gay dude lol the west is crazy smh” Granted, there will always be moronic haters who hide behind a keyboard. Remember when Selena Gomez received death threats for dating Justin Bieber? But Collins has handled the adversity very well this week, appearing on Good Morning America; on a Grantland podcast with Bill Simmons; and will soon sit across from Oprah on OWN. What is your reaction to Collins coming out?   Good for him! Who cares? He should go back in the closet! View Poll »

White House Correspondents Dinner 2013: Obama, Conan Bring the House Down

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Second term, baby. Embracing his annual role as Standup Comedian-in-Chief, President Barack Obama certainly delivered the laughs at the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner. Obama White House Correspondents’ Dinner Speech 2013 Walking out to DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win,” Obama started off his speech joking “second term, baby” and noting, “I’ve got 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one.” The President also didn’t hold back when it came to wife Michelle Obama’s bangs in Photoshopped pics, or to his own notorious college pot smoking. Weighing in on the success of the site BuzzFeed, he said “I remember Buzz Feed was just something I did in college around 2 a.m. [pause] It’s true.” Perhaps Obama’s best digs came at the media’s expense, with NBC, Fox News, CNN, Dick Morris , Gallup and even the History Channel being skewered. He took plenty of shots at himself, as well. On his aging rapidly in the White House, he said: “I’m not the strapping young Muslim socialist I used to be.” Referencing his trip to the George W. Bush Library last week, Obama said that some want him to build his in his birthplace … but he’d prefer the U.S. He chided Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for his 2016 election ambitions while not even finishing one Senate term – a frequent criticism of Obama in 2008. Obama and the event’s host, Conan O’Brien, made for a formidable 1-2 punch. Check out Conan’s remarks below and tell us who was funnier … Conan White House Correspondents Dinner Speech 2013
