Larissa Dos Santos: Look, This is Why I Hate Ashley Martson…

Posted on January 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Larissa Dos Santos is here to spill all the damning tea. So Ashley Martson may want to put on a bib. As 90 Day Fiance fans likely know very well, these two co-stars do not exactly get along. With no clear reason existing for the tension that exists between them, however, Larissa figured she’d go ahead this week and offer up her side of the story. And it doesn’t exactly paint Martson in the most flattering light. “One secret that nobody knows, just you now. … Ashley, she tried to be my friend in Atlanta. I was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait. I don’t know you,’” Larissa said during a recent Instagram Live video, adding: “She tried really hard to be my friend. She talked bad about Jonathan [Rivera] and Fernanda [Flores] for me.” Okay, Larissa. You have our attention. Go on… “She [said] like, ‘They are so jealous because we are in Atlanta and they are not.’ But I [said], ‘I’m not jealous of them. I’m so happy because they go to Hollywood, to L.A. to the premiere.’ “… So I think that they might say bad things about her to Dan.” Martson, pictured above, has been through plenty on 90 Day Fiance. Earlier this month, for example, Jay Smith claimed he cheated on Ashley …. by accident. The day after they got married. Larissa, meanwhile, continues to make news for her very up, down and everything in between relationship with Colt Johnson . In this instance, though, when it comes to her beer with Ashley, Larissa just wants to make something clear: Everything is Martson’s fault! “I was really nice to her. … I give her advice,” she explained on Instagram. “I was really sweet to Dan, but I was just like, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’” The Brazil native went at it with Fernanda during part 1 of the 90 Day Fiance reunion , which aired on Sunday, January 6. “Fernanda is jealous of me because she’s ugly and I’m beautiful,” Larissa said in a way only she can during the special episode. “I feel ready to do war.” Larissa and husband at least presented a united front by attacking other couples during the special. It was one of the rare times they appeared to be on the same page. “I am not proud of my actions as of late, I learned a lot about my self and I hope moving forward that I can become a better person because of it,” he wrote on Instagram in December 2018 after his wife accused him of being unfaithful . “As for my family, Larissa, my mother and the fur kids are going to try to take a break and heal. “I pray that we can all come together and remember why we are a family, why we love each other.” View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Stars: How Much Are They Paid?

#LHHMIA Tried To Make Amara Look Like A Thirsty Bird Hopping In THIS Rapper’s DMs And Twitter Wasn’t Having It

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

Source: Rodrigo Varela / Getty Amara La Negra’s Reality Drama Amara La Negra is maybe the most instantly super famous reality TV star we’ve seen this decade besides Cardi B. It only took one season of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami for her to be damn near a household name. In the time since last season ended she’s become a crossover star and a self-sufficient celebrity. So why in the hell did she return to reality TV? No one really knows. Now that season 2 has started, the internet is wondering why she even bothered because she is out here looking like a clown in the new season and her fans are not happy. For some reason, Amara is in the middle of a scandal in which she’s accused of hopping in GUNPLAY’s mentions. Gunplay? Whew chile, the Mona Scottness. This is all a mess and Twitter is over it all. Amara should’ve did like Cardi B and left that show behind…all she about to have is hella haters on this show because of the attention she got from last season #LHHMIA — Jen (@jen_kristinj) January 3, 2019 Take a look…please someone save Amara from this madness.

Louis C.K. Gets Torn to Shreds by Father of Parkland Shooting Victim

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

It’s a new year. But it’s the same old Louis C.K. Actually, that’s not even accurate: it’s a somewhat different Louis C.K. than the one who came across as mostly harmless and well-intentioned before he was outed as a serial and offensive masturbator . As you very likely have read about by now, leaked audio of a recent stand-up set by the controversial comedian went viral late last week. It featured C.K. making fun of non-binary individuals who wish to be referred to by the pronouns “they” or “them,” and it also featured the star mocking survivors of that school shooting in Parkland, Florida . A quick and horrifying refresher : On February 14, 2018, a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, murdering seventeen students and staff members and injuring seventeen others. In the wake of this tragedy, a handful of the students who survived have spoken out passionately about the country’s need for more strict gun control legislation. And C.K. apparently finds this appalling. “Testify in front of Congress, these kids, what the f-ck? What are you doing?” says C.K. in this audio clip , adding in a very strange attempt to be funny: “Cause you went to a high school where kids got shot, why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? “You didn’t get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I gotta listen to you talking?” The backlash to this lame joke was swift and savage, with many associated with the Parkland massacre speaking out on social media. “It’s a shame when you sink so low that your comeback plan is to make fun of school shooting survivors for speaking out,” Stoneman Douglas graduate Ryan Deitsch said on Twitter. He later urged folks to stop discussing this subject in order to rob C.K. of the publicity: “While I appreciate members of the press for doing their duties, I & hopefully others will decline to speak more on this subject. “This will only grant further attention to an individual whose deplorability belongs left behind as we all ascend into a brighter new year.” For a very understandable reason, however, Fred Guttenberg could not follow this advice.  Having lost his 14-year-old daughter, Jamie, in the attack, Guttenberg addressed C.K. directly with a pointed message: “To anyone who knows Louis CK, please deliver this message for me. My daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting. “My son ran from the bullets. My wife and I deal with loss everyday. Why don’t you come to my house and try out your new pathetic jokes?” Elsewhere in his set, C.K. wondered why teenagers these days aren’t just getting drunk and partying and simply relaxing and having fun, just like they did in his day. Parkland survivor Kyra Parrow has the perfect response to this question. Although taking jello shots & eating mushrooms might have been ideal for you when you were 18, that is not the luxury that we have after having to see our friends and classmates in caskets because of preventable gun violence.

Kanye West to Twitter: Stop Following My Wife on Instagram!

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We probably don’t need to tell that Kanye West has had quite a year. And to be clear, we don’t mean that in a good way. At all. Whether he was describing slavery as a choice or fantasizing about playing catch with Donald Trump, Yeezy found new and interesting ways to baffle and infuriate the masses in 2018. West swore off politics back in October, but that doesn’t mean he’s done being bonkers on social media. No, these past few weeks, Kanye has been devoting his attention to a bizarre feud with Drake . Although we’re not sure if “feud” is the right word, as it seems to be a pretty one-sided fixation on Kanye’s part. Anyway, it’s always a dangerous game guessing what’s going on in Kanye’s head, but as far as we can tell, the rapper’s final (?) tirade of 2018 is a result of his ongoing anger toward Drizzy. It all started with this all-time bonkers tweet. Either that’s a reference to the rumors that Drake had sex with Kim Kardashian , or Kanye really doesn’t understand his wife’s career, and that comment is directed at all of Twitter. Either way, with that, he was off. Kanye’s tweets ranged from the vaguely threatening (“See when you care about your family you don’t let no man push you to do nothing that could risk your freedom”) to the amusingly asinine (“Tweeting is legal and also therapeutic”). As far as we can tell, dude remains deeply pissed at Drake, but there was also a healthy dose of his usual pseudo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo in there as well. What does it all mean? Well, we doubt even Kanye himself could tell you. Whatever the case, it’s a reminder that you can safely anticipate even more insanity from hip-hop’s most unstable artist in 2019. As a send-off for his most memorable year yet, Kanye concluded today’s rant with this nugget of wisdom: “If I got any cooler I would freeze to death.” Carry that energy into the new year, folks.

Kanye West Calls Out Ariana Grande, Accuses Singer of Exploiting His Mental Illness

Posted on December 15, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kanye West has turned his attention from Drake to Ariana Grande. And now we have a feud on our hands between two of the biggest solo artists on the planet. It all started on Thursday night when Kanye went after Drake on Twitter , accusing his fellow artist of threatening members of his family. This renewed rivalry got off to a strange start, after West revealed that Drake had asked for clearance to sample one of his tracks. Kanye used this request as an opening to simply attack Drake close to 80 times on social media, writing at one point that Drake needs to stay away from Kris Jenner: “Been trying to meet with you for 6 months bro. You sneak dissing on trav records and texting Kris talking bout how’s the family.” It was an especially chaotic few hours on Twitter, even for Kanye West. Drake didn’t really response to any Kanye’s taunts of insults… … but Grande actually did. You see, Ariana and Miley Cyrus both released new tracks on Thursday and Grande joked that West and Drake’s beef was taking away attention from these single drops. In a practically perfect Tweet, the singer wrote: “Guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u.” Hilarious, right? Not exactly, Kanye now argues. The 41-year old rapper took exception to Grande butting into his business in this manner, accusing the superstar of exploiting both his fame and even his mental illness in order to promote her music. “I know Ariana said this to be cool and didn’t mean no harm but I don’t like even slightest level of slight commentary from someone I know loves and respects me,” he Tweeted, adding: “All of this foolishness weighed on my mental health so @ArianaGrande you know I got love for you but until you’re ready to really make sure everyone’s ok don’t use me or this moment to promote a song.” West has claimed in the past that he’s bipolar . In response to Kanye’s remarks, Ariana didn’t entirely back down. She stood up for herself and her career, but also issued a mea culpa. “with all due respect, i don’t need to use anyone to promote anything. period. i was making a comment ab what men were doing at the time vs. women,” she wrote, concluding: “it was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. i apologize if i was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today.” Again: Ariana handled this perfectly. It’s very clear at this point of her career that she doesn’t need to rely on anyone else to push her songs, yet she was a big enough person to recognize the sensitivity of mental illness and to acknowledge how perhaps she should have thought of that before Tweeting. Grande is very good at social media. Kanye is very bad. Perhaps he should take another break from the medium.

Kathie Lee Gifford Stuns Viewers, Confirms Departure from The Today Show

Posted on December 11, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It will soon be the end of an era on The Today Show. An era defined by a lot of laughter, a great deal of banter and a $hitload of white wine. On Tuesday morning, Kathie Lee Gifford took Today viewers by shock when she announced her impending departure from a program she has co-anchored for 11 years. Sitting alongside close friend and Hoda Kotb during their shared third hour of the program, Gifford said the following: “I have something to share with everybody, and it’s bittersweet as these things always are. “It’s an exciting time for me, and I’m thrilled about all the projects that are coming up. But it’s also hard … because I love everybody here so much.” Growing emotional, Gifford continued as follows… “I’ve been in this business 120 years and never worked with a more beautiful group of people who just give, give, give, every day. “Four hours of live television every day, five days a week. “We have fun and we laugh and we support one another and we know each other’s kids names and we know when someone’s having a colonoscopy. “We know everything! We do life together.” Gifford will remain on air through her official 11-year anniversary, April 7, before taking her enormous wine glass and going home. The veteran host also signaled out Kotb in her farewell announcement. “You’re just so special, Hoda,” she said. “Thank you, thank you so much.” The Today Show, of course, has undergone a few drastic changes over the past two years. First, Matt Lauer was fired amidst accusations of sexual misconduct. Then, Megyn Kelly was let go for basically being a racist buffoon. Through it all, Gifford has helped keep things lighty and boozy during the show’s 11 a.m. hour. “As we all know, Kathie Lee’s plate has been overflowing lately with film, music and book projects, and after giving us eleven extraordinary years, she’s decided to focus her attention full-time on those other creative endeavors,” NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim wrote to the Today staff in a memo this morning. The executive also shared the following message from the 65-year-old herself: “In 2008, I joined the Today show family intending to spend one year. “But something unexpected happened along the way: I fell in love with a beautiful, talented, extraordinary Egyptian goddess named Hoda, and an amazing group of individuals who work tirelessly and joyfully at their jobs, many of them starting at midnight, creating an unprecedented four hours of live television. “I stayed year after year making a million memories with people I will never forget. I leave Today with a grateful heart but I’m truly excited for this new creative season in my life. “Many thanks to all the wonderful people who made the years fly by.” We don’t yet know what plans Today has to fill Gifford’s spot. But Gifford rose to stardom on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and then took a break after leaving that wildly popular program in 2000. Kathie started her career as the “singing girl” on Name that Tune in 1977 and has been a consistent fixture on the small screen ever since. Concluded Gifford upon making her announcement on Tuesday: Thank you again everybody for loving us and supporting us. I know somebody wonderful will be sitting in this seat afterwards. I have my idea of who might be absolutely wonderful, but there’s a great pool of talent and beauty and heart around here, right within our own family. And if they come from outside the family they will soon become family because you all treat everybody that way.

Deontay Wilder Says Floyd Mayweather Is Jealous Of Him [Video]

Posted on December 9, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read the original here:

Source: Anadolu Agency / Getty Deontay Wilder is fresh off a draw after his exciting match with Tyson Fury, cementing his place as a fighter to watch in the coming years. Wilder hit back at Floyd Mayweather , who seems to not be a fan of the heavyweight slugger, with the “Bronze Bomber” saying Money is essentially a hater. TMZ Sports reports : We got Wilder out in L.A. just days after he and Tyson Fury put together the most entertaining draw in boxing history and he says, while the world was stoked on the fight, Floyd wasn’t. “They loved it, they loved every bit of it. The world loved it, and I don’t think he liked that though. He wants all the attention on him, and it’s sad that it’s like that.” Deontay’s logic is that he’s a heavyweight, and the big guys are the ones fans REALLY want to see, so it’s just a matter of time before he’s at the top of the sport, and the old guys have to get used to it. When we asked him if he’ll ever make Floyd Mayweather money, he says it’s definitely in the future for him, and once again, seems to take shots at Money. “I’m coming, and it’s a lot of fighters that’s jealous of me for no reason. I’ve never said nothing bad about no one, I’ve always wished them well.” It appears that Mayweather and plenty of others thought Fury should have won the fight despite him being knocked down twice. At any rate, a Wilder and Fury rematch is most certainly primed for the future after their acclaimed match. — Photo: Getty

Anfisa Nava: Jorge’s Prison Sentence Ruined My Life!

Posted on December 4, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After his sentencing in September, former 90 Day Fiance star Jorge Nava reported to prison . He expects to remain behind bars for two years. This leaves his wife, Anfisa, looking to fill a hole in her life. With an uncharacteristically heartfelt post to fans and some revealing photos, Anfisa is explaining how her life is different without Jorge. Beside two photos of Anfisa’s sculpted physique, she has poured her heart out to fans. “My husband got sentenced to 2.5 years in prison on Septeber 7,” Anfisa reminds her fans. “To be honest,” Anfisa writes. “It has been very hard on me.” Anfisa feels this way “because Jorge and I are not just husband and wife, but we are truly best friends.” “And,” she explains. “We used to share everything with each other.” These days, communication is difficult. “And, since we aren’t together physically now,” Anfisa begins. “And only get to talk to each other once a day,” she continues. She laments: “it feels like a big part of me was taken away.” Prison, especially for a non-violent “crime” like possession of a forbidden plant , can tear families apart. “I don’t normally talk about it,” Anfisa shares. She explains that she is so reticent “because I don’t like to show my emotions to the public.” “Especially,” Anfisa adds. “If I believe that it will make me look weak and pathetic.” That is extremely, consummately Russian of her. “It’s just the way I am,” Anfisa writes. In her eyes: “I’d rather be thought of as a ‘cold-hearted bitch’ than a ‘crybaby.'” “Now you are probably thinking ok what does this caption have to do with the pictures?” Anfisa writes. Most may have assumed that she shared the pics as a ploy to grab the attention of her followers so that they would read her captions. As it turns out, it’s a little more complicated than that. “And the answer is,” Anfisa says. “To fill the void that I felt after Jorge was sentenced and I was left on my own, I decided to try to stay busy.” Busy beyond her activities as a student, she means. “And do what I enjoy the most,” she continues. “And it was working out.” Anfisa even shares that she has goals beyond just keeping her mind off of her loneliness. She wants to compete. “And ONE DAY,” she writes. “I want to take it on a higher level and compete in NPC bikini division.” Most people of course read NPC as non-playable character, but in this case, she refers to the National Physique Committee. She’s talking about the extreme end of bodybuilding competitions. She wants to build up her muscle mass enough to compete. Hey, good for her. Anfisa also decries the negative feedback that she sometimes receives from haters. “It feels frustrating when some of you try to knock me down for doing what I love and enjoy,” she shares. Anfisa writes: “I know that many of you started following me on social media after seeing 90 Day Fiance.” “Well, I’m just letting you know that I’m going in a different direction now,” she says. In other words, if you don’t like it, you can unfollow. Anfisa concludes: “I’m very grateful to have people that are cheering me up.” View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!

Pete Davidson: Ariana Grande Fans Want Me to Kill Myself!

Posted on December 3, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been almost two months since Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson broke up , but the scrutiny and speculation surrounding the former couple just won’t die down. Of course, part of the reason for the continued fascination is that Pete and Ari can’t stop talking about their split. Last week, the breakup became the talk of social media yet again, thanks to Ariana’s well-received music video for ” Thank U, Next .” The lyrics to the song address several of Grande’s past relationships, and the video features a nod to her time with Pete. Many were hopeful that that would be the end of it, but it seems Ari’s fans have been relentless in their harassment of Davidson. And the situation apparently got so bad this week that Pete felt the need to issue a public statement. Taking to Instagram, Pete posted the following heartfelt plea for compassion: ” I’ve kept my mouth shut. Never mentioned any names, never said a word about anyone or anything. “I’m trying to understand how when something happens to a guy the whole entire world just trashes him without any facts or frame of reference. “Especially in today’s climate where everyone loves to be offended and upset it truly is mind boggling . “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly only in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth.” “I just want you guys to know. “No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won’t. I’m upset I even have to say this. To all those holding me down and seeing this for what it is – I see you and I love you .” Folks who only became familiar with Davidson due to his relationship with Grande might be surprised to hear him say that the bullying has been going on for the better part of a year. Pete’s been open about his struggles with addiction and bipolar disorder, and has frequently discussed his troubles during SNL segments. As a result, there’s been considerable interest in his personal life for quite some time. Many who were familiar with Pete were surprised by the uproar that occurred when he joked about his relationship with Grande on the air. After all, this is a man who’s made a career of pushing the envelope and being intensely open about his personal life. But today, Pete bared his soul for reasons that have nothing to do with comedy. We hope those who might be inclined to heap abuse upon him out of misguided loyalty to his ex might pause and consider what Pete said today.

Kailyn Lowry and Chris Lopez: Spotted! Holding Hands!

Posted on December 3, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Are they or aren't they? This is the question Teen Mom 2 fans continue to ask every time the topic turns to Kailyn Lowry and her love life. Is the veteran cast member actually with her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez? Or is the pair simply on good, albeit plutonic, terms? Lowry has remained mostly mum on the topic, although her hand may have recently done all the talking needed. Scroll down to learn where Kailyn and Chris were just spotted out together — and to read a few quotes that make it seem as if their boots are very much knocking again! 1. One Happy Family The beginnng was rocky for Kailyn and Chris, as the latter really didn’t spend much time with his son, Lux, or his ex-girlfriend, Kailyn. But here everyone is on Lux’s first birthday! 2. When Was Lux Born? On August 5, 2017. Kailyn waited awhile to tell the world she was pregnant and then even longer to reveal the identity of the child’s dad. 3. You’re a Deadbeat! You Just Want Attention! Like we said, it was vicious there for a bit. Lowry accused Lopez of only sharing pictures of his child to make it LOOK like he was around Lux often — when, in fact, this was not the case at all. 4. But Now? Everything appears to be settled. Lowry is spending more and more time with her ex and has even said that Lopez is the true, first real love of her life. 5. Rumors of a Reconciliation… … started in August, shortly after Chris showed up Lux’s birthday party.
