Watch: Joycelyn Savage’s Family Ambushes R. Kelly’s House With The Police

Posted on August 30, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

See the rest here:

Source: Rick Kern / Getty The family of Joycelyn Savage — the woman allegedly brainwashed by R. Kelly — will not be ignored. The Savage squad rolled up to R. Kelly’s place in Atlanta with the police backing them up. Joycelyn’s parents and their attorney,  Gerald Griggs, initially reached out to Kelly so they could arrange a meeting with their daughter minus Kelly and his handlers. However, Kelly did not respond to their call so they took things to the next level. TMZ obtained footage of the family going to Kelly’s home in Atlanta on Tuesday. They believe Joycelyn is being held in the house against her will. “If she won’t come to us at the concert, we going to go to her,” Joycelyn’s father said. Sources told TMZ a woman in Kelly’s circle answered the door and said Joycelyn wasn’t home. There is no word if Kelly was there at the time. Police say they eventually talked to Joycelyn over FaceTime, but Joycelyn reiterated that she was fine —  which she’s said in the past  — and she didn’t want to talk to her family. Kelly’s camp has yet to comment. Meanwhile, you can check out Joycelyn’s family roll up on Kelly’s place in the video below.

Demi Lovato Throws All the Shade at Kathy Griffin

Posted on June 3, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sorry, Kathy Griffin. But Demi Lovato is not sorry. Nor is she having any part of your lame press conference. On Friday afternoon, Griffin sat alongside her attorney and whined about the way Donald Trump and his family have treated her over the past few days. Both the President, his kids and his wife have had some choice words for the comedian after she posed for a photo shoot during which she held a bloody, decapitated head of the Commander-in-Chief. Both Donald and Melania Trump called out Griffin for traumatizing their 11-year old son with this pictorial, while those from both sides of the aisle have also slammed Griffin. In her press conference yesterday, Griffin accused Trump and his family members of “bullying” her and “trying to ruin my life forever, telling reporters: “I don’t think I will have a career after this. I think he … I’m going to be honest, he broke me. He broke me, and then I was like, ‘No, this isn’t right.'” Griffin may be right about the whole career-ending thing. She has lost one sponsorship deal and been fired by CNN . But nearly everyone thinks she deserves it, considering the inappropriate, offensive, ridiculous nature of her actions here. (Everyone except Jim Carrey, that is, who has stood up for Griffin .) “There’s a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me, and I’m just hear to say that’s wrong,” Griffin said on Friday, adding: “You don’t have to like me, but you shouldn’t silence a comic.” This is a strange line of defense, in our opinion. FIRST, you need to be funny in order to be a comedian, don’t you? So Griffin doesn’t really fit the description. SECOND, why would comedians be free to say and do whatever they want? THIRD, no one is silencing Griffin. She may utter anything she likes and pose for any photos she wants. But, like anyone else, she also prepare for consequences as a result. And that’s where Lovato comes in. Someone who has often spoken out against bullying, the singer clearly is angry that Griffin is trying to play the victim card. She effed up. She has apologized and claims to know she effed up … so what the heck is Kathy talking about?!? “I find it funny when bullies play the victims,” Lovato Tweeted shortly after Griffin’s press conference, adding: “Oops. I spilled my tea.” Point. Game. Match, Demi Lovato, right? It’s hard to find fault with her simple message and logic here. This isn’t the first time Lovato and Griffin had a spat on social media, either. In March of 2014, the stars feuded on Twitter after Griffin was asked to call out the “biggest douche celebrity,” responding at the time: Will Griffin call another press conference next week to yell at Lovato? Or will she maybe come to the realization that she should shut the heck up? And that she’s only digging her grave deeper and deeper? And that she’s just flat out wrong in this case and is only helping the other political side by using her platform in this manner? Seriously, Katrhy Griffin. Zip it.

Black Woman Officer In Hot Water With NYPD After Tweeting #BlackLivesMatter

Posted on March 29, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brooklyn Cop Gets In Trouble Over Using “BlackLivesMatter” Hashtag A Brooklyn cop is under scrutiny with the NYPD  after she replied to a department Twitter post with the hash tag “Blacklivesmatter,” according to The NY Daily News . Police officer Gwendolyn Bishop responded to a post from February 2016 about a gun arrest using her own personal Twitter account, writing, “Sad day for the 76th Pct. #Blacklivesmatter.” The reply was made under her personal twitter account, @ducklipzanddimplzz, which has been deactivated. According to her attorney, John Tynan said, her Twitter account did not identify her as a cop. Also, from Tynan, she was not in violation of department rules, since she was not using the department Twitter account but was responding through her personal account as any other person on Twitter is allowed to do. The four and a half-year veteran told her superiors that she didn’t remember replying to the post, and that she rarely uses Twitter. When pressed about the issue on Tuesday, the officer says she meant to write #BlueLivesMatter and autocorrect got the best of her. If she’s found to be guilty, she faces 30 vacation days taken away and one year probation. That’s some BS.

Kristen Stewart: Is That Really Her in V Magazine?!?

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kristen Stewart is featured in the latest issue of V Magazine. At least we think  Kristen Stewart is featured in the latest issue of V Magazine. Photographed by the legendary Mario Testino in a bright purple and blue Chanel ensemble, flames aloft on the backdrop behind her, Stewart is front and center for the publication’s “Free Spirit” issue. And she looks almost nothing like herself on the cover: Among the topics Stewart delves into as part of this cover story is iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld. The two have worked together for a number of years now. “Karl has always, from the very beginning, made me feel like being myself was the right thing to do. And in [the fashion] world, that is a rarity,” Stewart explains. “He’s a compulsive and obsessive artist and it’s contagious. And he’s kind. He is who he is for a reason. I feel so lucky to be in his space so often.” Stewart will next be seen in the film Personal Shopper, a thriller that is scheduled to hit theaters on March 10 and which centers on our relationship with new forms of communication. It’s a meaningful theme to the former Twilight Saga star. “When you speak to someone on the phone, that is a decipherable, understandable exchange,” says Stewart to V. “But with text and social media, it’s essentially a dialogue with yourself and your interpretation of a shadow. It’s not invalid; it’s a new language.”  Stewart continues to distance herself more and more from the role of Bella Swan that made her famous. It made her famous among teenagers around the world, but this star has loftier goals in mind. She’s hoping to reach a larger audience. Last month, for example, Stewart won rave reviews for her Saturday Night Live hosting debut, actually cursing in her monologue and taunting Donald Trump. She openly talked about her ex-boyfriend, Robert Pattinson. She told the entire world that she’s gay. She seemed a little nervous and anxious, but she also came across like more of an open book than she ever had before. “For six years, I’ve just been being a total wuss about it and then I finally was like, at some point, you just have to bite the bullet, you know?” Stewart said of the hosting gig, adding that even if one is to fail… “It will make you stronger, man.” Kristen Stewart Makes Fun of Trump, Drops F Bomb on Saturday Night Live! This issue of V hits newsstands on March 9. Pick up a copy to learn more about Stewart and check out a segment from her Saturday Night Live hosting appearance above.

Rachel Dolezal: Totally Broke and Nearly Homeless!

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hey, remember Rachel Dolezal? Of course you do — as long as you live, you will never be able to forget that white woman who built her entire life around pretending to be black . Rachel was the president of her local NAACP chapter and she also taught African-American studies at a university, but that all fell apart when her parents began letting people know that she’s actually white. Her story went viral with a hilariously uncomfortable interview in which she was asked if she was white. She said that she didn’t understand the question, then just bolted. She maintained for a long time that she’s a black woman — and she still does. But the issue these days is that holding onto that false identity is pretty much destroying her life. Rachel Dolezal: NAACP Leader Accused of Pretending to be Black Rachel did a lengthy interview with the Guardian to promote her upcoming book, titled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World. And boy, is it a doozy. Rachel says that she is currently unemployed, and that she’s applied for 100 different jobs, but no one will hire her. Well, almost no one: she admits that she’s gotten offers in reality television and porn. Things are so bad that while a friend helped her pay rent for February, she thinks she’ll probably end up homeless this month. She had to submit her memoir to at least 30 different publishers before anyone would agree to print it. Rachel Dolezal Finally Confesses: I’m White! “The narrative was that I’d offended both communities in an unforgivable way,” she explains, “so anybody who gave me a dime would be contributing to wrong and oppression and bad things. To a liar and a fraud and a con.” Well … Still, Rachel says that she wrote her book “to set the record straight,” but also “to open up this dialogue about race and identity, and to just encourage people to be exactly who they are.” She had a rough childhood: she claims that her parents used to beat her and her older brother, and that the first time she ever truly felt love was when her parents adopted four babies when she was 15. Three were African-American, and one was Haitian. She says she was the primary caretaker for all the new babies, and that as they grew up, “I began to see the world through black eyes.” Rachel Dolezal: My Parents Can’t Prove They’re My Parents! About the black vs. white struggle, or her struggle, anyway, she says that “I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really have that vocabulary. I feel like the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m white.’ Because you know, I’m not white.” But would she ever consider dropping the “trans-black” thing? Even if just to stop rubbing so many people the wrong way? “No,” she insists. “This is still home to me. I didn’t feel like I’m ever going to be hurt so much that I somehow leave who I am, because I’m me. It really is who I am. It’s not a choice.” Sure, Rachel. Sure.

Josh & Anna Duggar: Did They Decide to Divorce at Jinger’s Wedding?

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been weeks since we’ve had any update on the once-persistent Josh and Anna Duggar divorce rumors , but that doesn’t mean the troubled couple has managed to patch things up. Back in early February, Josh and Anna responded to the rumors  through a family spokesperson, who released a statement assuring fans that reports of their marriage coming to an and were “absolutely not true.” Since issuing that denial, the couple has remained silent on the subject, despite the fact that a number of new rumors have emerged that all seem to point to an impending breakup. The first round of reports claimed Josh and Anna were separating as a result of a damaging new lawsuit that – according to   The Daily Mail magazine – threatened to reveal the couple’s ” filthiest secrets .” Considering some of the secrets we’ve already heard about Josh, outmatching them in terms of filthiness would be no mean feat. Now, a new report from the Inquisitr suggests that Josh and Anna decided to part ways on the weekend that  Jinger Duggar got married to Jeremy Vuolo . There’s no word on what might have sparked the decision, but the wedding was one of the last times that Josh and Anna were spotted together in public. Did Josh behave inappropriately? Did the feeling that she was being judged by hundreds of guests lead Anna to the conclusion that it was time to cut her perverted husband loose? The first possibility seems unlikely, as Josh successfully concealed his first round of affairs and flirtations for several years. But there may be something to that second explanation, as Anna has admitted to struggling with how she’s perceived by family and friends since welcoming Josh back into her life. Whatever the case, a family insider recently told Perez Hilton that  “Anna hasn’t told Josh she wants a divorce, but a friend of hers put her in touch with a lawyer and Anna has spoken to the lawyer on the phone,” a source close to the Duggar family said, according to Perez Hilton. The source adds that Anna is nervous about proceeding, as divorce is strictly forbidden in the Duggars’ religious community: “She’s been putting off meeting them for some time because she was terrified of being spotted at their office, but she is now finally ready to make the move and will be visiting the attorney in the next week or so.” Josh was the first of his siblings to get married, and now it sounds like he might be the first to endure an ugly, high-profile divorce.
