Kush Chronic-les: Miley Cyrus Says She’s Found A Kindred Spirit In Snoop Lion Over Their Love Of The Sticky-Icky

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Roll that isht, light that isht, smoke that isht… Miley Cyrus Says She And Snoop Dogg Bond Over Their Love Of Kush Via HuffingtonPost The 20-year-old stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night (June 25) to discuss her bizarre new music video for “We Can’t Stop,” and further confirmed how much she loves marijuana. Cyrus walked out in high-waisted black hot pants and a white crop-top, which obviously made Kimmel uncomfortable. “I did not realize when you walked out you were wearing your underpants,” he quipped. Cyrus went on to talk about her unlikely friendship with Snoop Lion, with whom she recorded the song “Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,” telling Kimmel, “We’re more alike than you think … we’re very similar.” “That’s because he ‘s so high he doesn’t know what his name is,” joked the talk show host. “Me too, so it’s fine! We both are,” Miley confessed. “That’s why we get along so well, I guess.” Cyrus also performed “We Can’t Stop” during the show, getting a little wild and crazy onstage with some female dancers. Miley wildin’…and we hope she keeps it up! Image via tumblr Continue reading →

Elsewhere In The World: 6 People Charged With Assault In Africa For Dragging Men Over Hot Coals For Talking In Church!

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Only God can judge them, but that doesn’t mean the court can’t keep them! 6 Charged With Assault For Dragging Men Over Hot Coals For Talking In Church Via NewZimbabwe For talking during a sermon, a 21-year-old man and a boy, 14, were hauled over the coals – literally – and sustained burns under their feet. Police say they have charged six members of the True Gospel Apostolic Faith Church with assault following the bizarre incident at last Sunday’s service in an open space near the Chitungwiza Industrial site. Assistant Inspector Tarirai Dube, the acting police spokesman for Harare, said: “The two victims were accused of talking while the church leader Justice Nguni was addressing at the church service on Sunday at around 9AM. “It is alleged that as punishment, the two victims were forced to stand near a fire place while the six suspects were on guard, holding their hands in a circle so that they would not escape. “The two eventually fell onto the fire, resulting in the 21-year-old being seriously burnt on both legs and feet, while the 14-year-old suffered burns on his left leg and under both feet.” The two victims are being treated at Chitungwiza Central Hospital where they are reported to be in a stable condition. Nguni, 35, and congregants Courage Macheka, 24, Martin Mazvazvido, 43, Jesca Mushakavanhu, 40, Clifford Murota, 37, and Richard Rushaya, 16, are all due in court this week where prosecutors are set to charge them with assault. Was it REALLY that serious?!? SMH Image via Shutterstock

‘Pacific Rim’ TV Spot − Is The Monster Lame Or What?

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Why am I not excited about  Pacific Rim ?  I’m mostly a fan of Guillermo del Toro ‘s  work, particularly the superb  Pan’s Labyrinth , but the three teaser clips that have been released for the filmmaker’s hotly anticipated mechs-vs-monsters summer sci-fi film have all left me cold. Part of the problem is that they’re all virtually the same. The new international TV spot, for instance, is a condensed retread of the earlier trailers, and its brevity draws attention to what I think may be the film’s biggest weakness: a lame monster.  Yes, the giant human-piloted Jaeger mechs are impressive — even if they defy science and physics — but their enemies, which are called Kaiju , Japanese for “strange beast,”  don’t look the fearsome, formidable part they’re supposed to play in the picture. (If you’re okay with spoilers, this review of the Pacific Rim script indicates that the Kaiju overwhelm the Jaegers.) Clearly, del Toro is paying homage to the Japanese Toho Studios kaiju films of the 1950s, ’60s and beyond — the Godzilla franchise being the most well known of them.  The problem is, the creature in the  Pacific Rim  looks like it came directly from the set of one of those hokey movies and didn’t stop by the visual effects department to get a rad new upgrade. Remember, Gamera , the amusing flying turtle (which was not a Toho creation)?  If you took the body of that ’60s-era monster and grafted the head of Roland Emmerich’s 1998 Godzilla onto it — not a movie that any filmmaker should be referencing — then you’d get a creature similar to the one you see in the photo above and trailer below. Not-So-Scary Monster Perhaps del Toro is keeping more fearsome creatures under wraps. The Kaiju apparently hail from another universe — a kind of interstellar Monster Island — so conceptually there could be more than one species. I hope so. If the creature in the teasers is all we get, then Pacific Rim could suffer from a real tension deficit. One other thing:  It’s time to give Idris Elba’s “Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!”  speech a rest.  It was rousing the first 10 times I heard it — in January. Three months later, it’s ripe to be satirized, and the movie isn’t out until July 12. What do you think? More on Pacific Rim : ‘Pacific Rim’ Vs.

FIRST LOOK: ‘Old Boy’ Teaser Poster Counts The Days & Raises Questions

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Spike Lee’s   remake of Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy doesn’t hit theaters until October, and that just seems way too long to wait. I’m genuinely excited to see what Lee does with the material and am envisioning a revenge (and blood)-soaked 25th Hour .  The good news is that FilmDistrict has finally dropped a tiny morsel from the upcoming film.  The bad news: it’s chicken scratch. The distributor has unveiled a  teaser poster for the film at   CinemaCon , which is taking place in Las Vegas April 15-18 .  The symbolism borrows from Park’s original: they’re the scratches that the imprisoned protagonist Oh Dae-su ( Choi   Min-sik ) uses to keep track of time. That character gets an American makeover in Lee’s version:  He’s now Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin), and, according to the official synopsis he’s an advertising executive  “who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.” These clues leave me with a handful of questions, most of them having to do with other plot points from the original that are ripe for homage: 1) There are a lot of advertising executives I’d like to see locked away, but for 20 years?  What did he do, devise those Kia ads with the hipster hamsters ? 2) In the original Oh Dae-su tracked down his captor via the dumplings he was fed in prison every day. If an American comfort food is substituted, what will it be? Macaroni & Cheese? 3) Will the live octopus-eating scene be referenced? (If you haven’t watched the original Oldboy , you should, but, in the meantime, I’ve posted the scene below.) 4) Will incest figure into the plot as it did in the original?  If so, American audiences will squirm enough that reprising the live octopus scene won’t be necessary. 5) Does Lee’s brother  Cinqué Lee have a thing about playing bellhops ? He plays one in this movie, and he played one in Jim Jarmusch’s 1989 film Mystery Train . If you crave more Oldboy  info while you wait for a trailer,  check out my interview with director Park in which he explains why he’s not interested in seeing Lee’s remake until it’s released.

Desiree Hartsock: Who is the New Bachelorette?

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Desiree Hartsock may not have won The Bachelor, but the fourth-place finisher will be handing out the roses as the new Bachelorette starting May 20. The cutie said on The Bachelor: After The Final Rose special that she is “ready and open” to “to meet the man of her dreams” come this summer. Despite the fact that she made it far and became a fan favorite, we still don’t know that much about her. So here are some fun Desiree Hartsock facts: 1. She is a bridal stylist and a designer in Los Angeles. That will certainly come in handy if, as she hopes, she’ll be wearing her own before too long! 2. She designed her own dress for the opening rose ceremony when she wowed Sean Lowe . Who is now engaged to Catherine Giudici, but still! 3. She’s outdoorsy. Loves hiking in particular. Hope you’re in shape, guys! 4. She grew up in Colorado before settling in Newport Beach, Calif. 5. Like Sean Lowe, Desiree is a loyal and devout Christian, whose Twitter often refers to God and his will. No wonder she made it so far with Sean. Her Twitter has been quiet since March 11, of course, since filming for The Bachelorette is underway! Sounds like it’s going well so far, too. “OMG just saw Desiree on her first date for The Bachelorette! S he’s so cute omg & we talked & the guy was so hot” tweeted a Twitter user this week. Des was spotted “on the freeway in Sherman Oaks, California” at “like 2:00 pm” on March 16, driving with a very cute guy in a very cute convertible! Life looks pretty good for her right now, for sure. “Excellent first date for Dez!!! So important to get off to a good start!!!” tweeted producer Mike Fleiss. “Dez is doing great. Already a first kiss!!!” Excited to see Des as The Bachelorette?   Yes! She’s like perfect for the show! No, I prefer Lindsay/Catherine! No, someone new entirely! View Poll »

Amazing Race B-52 Bomber Prop Sparks Outrage From Vietnam Veterans

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

CBS is under fire for using a wrecked B-52 bomber as a prop on last Sunday’s episode of its long running reality hit The Amazing Race – in Vietnam. Last week’s leg of the Race featured a segment in which the contestants raced around the wreckage of a B-52 shot down during the Vietnam War. The downed plane was then put on display in Hanoi as a “memorial.” Earlier, the contestants sat under a portrait of communist leader Ho Chi Minh and sat through a musical concert by young people singing a patriotic song . For Vietnam. The lyrics included: “Vietnam Communist party is glorious … Socialism is growing more beautiful with time. Follow the party’s step. Be loyal. Be pure.” The segment in the Vietnamese capital city, while only a part of the episode, sparked outcry from the American Legion, among other organizations. “The show is called ‘The Amazing Race’ but I call it ‘The Amazing Gall,’” American Legon National Commander James E. Koutz said in a letter to CBS. He called the segment a “disgraceful slap-in-the face administered to American war heroes” and scolded CBS for showing the Vietnamese singing group. CBS officials declined to comment yesterday when contacted by The Post.

David Viens Sentenced For Murder; Chef Denies Cooking Wife

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Chef David Viens was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison Friday for his wife’s murder after telling the judge he was innocent in the bizarre case. “I didn’t cook my wife,” Viens, 49, insisted in Los Angeles Superior Court. The chef was convicted in September of second-degree murder in the 2009 death of Dawn Viens, despite the fact that her body was never found. David Viens says he has no recollection of giving a bedside statement to investigators that he cooked her in boiling water for days to get rid of evidence. A recording of the interrogation was played during the trial. “I loved my wife,” said Viens, who uses a wheelchair after suffering injuries from jumping off a cliff when he learned he was a suspect in her disappearance. He added, “I never meant what happened to happen.” Viens gave varying accounts of how his wife died, from admitting that he accidentally killed her to claiming his wife walked away and never returned. He spoke for a half-hour at his sentencing, asking for a new trial because his lawyer didn’t present enough evidence and should have let him testify. The judge denied the retrial request.

T.I. Puts TMZ on BLAST Over Lil Wayne Report

Posted on March 16, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

T.I. is speaking out about his friend Lil Wayne and BLASTING celebrity news site TMZ for misreporting the severity of his seizures – allegedly. The rapper told his followers on Twitter that he had personally called to check on him, and also gave the following interview about the Weezy situation: T.I. Blasts Lil Wayne Report TMZ reported last night that Lil Wayne was in critical condition after a sizzurp binge, was placed into an induced coma and being read “his last rites.” They have since removed the last rites bit from their article, but have not retracted or clarified any other details surrounding the allegedly dire situation. Family members and close affiliates of Lil Wayne immediately took to Twitter to slam TMZ; Weezy himself also posted a Tweet saying he’s okay. This was just hours after he was allegedly breathing through tubes in the ICU. Bizarre developments all around, since TMZ has broken countless exclusives, is generally very accurate and certainly not in the business of being wrong. What really happened yesterday? We may never know for sure, but it’ll be interesting to see if any more info is released that sheds light on the reports. Below are some of T.I.’s tweets on the subject, posted after he stepped off stage at SXSW. They’re NSFW. And borderline impossible to understand. But you get the gist most likely …

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: She Might Be Cray Cray

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

  The Real Housewives of Atlanta didn’t have to work very hard to “Make an Ass out of a Donkey” since there seems to be enough of both to go around. We recap all the jiggly booties and fishnet suits in this week’s THG +/- review.   Oh, where to begin?      We’ll start with our dueling booty videos.  On the one end you have Kenya who is working out with a trainer to get the product…and her booty just right.  Plus 15.   On the other end you’ve got Phaedra, who seems more interested in the cover art than the workout.  Between Ms. Parks’ tongue hanging out and the way she was hanging all over Apollo I began to wonder if this was a fitness workout or a porn video? Minus 11.     And if Kenya was so sure she was in the right with her Stallion booty video, why was she trying to do damage control with Porsha of all people?   Even their insults were lame.  If ashy feet are the best you can come up with then just shut up and sit back down.  Minus 17.   Checking in with Cynthia I began to wonder if I’m the only one who thinks she gets a little less classy with every episode.   Apparently there wasn’t enough money in modeling to keep the Bailey Agency going so she’s jumping into pageants which she readily admits she knows very little about.  Minus 9.   Cynthia found herself a pageant expert who started talking about the fees she could charge the mothers of 13 year old girls. Entry fees, make up fees, photo fees. The list was almost endless and the charges rang up from $75 to up to $1,200.    You could just see the dollar signs sparkling in Cynthia’s eyes.  And to ensure those dollars stay in her pocket she’s asked Porsha to help.   Minus 20 . What on earth was she thinking? Has Porsha shown a talent for anything but giggling and looking pretty?  It will be such a shock when this partnership falls apart at the seams…not!   But Cynthia showed her true self when she started bashing Phaedra, her supposed friend.  Minus 18 . Yes, they’ve had their issues but Cynthia seemed to take great pleasure in running to Kenya and stirring that pot.     When did NeNe become the classiest Housewife on this show? She’s got an acting coach and a charity shoe event. No one can say she’s not making it happen. Plus 30.   Then Kenya took the charity event on a turn into the bizarre.     After Phaedra wore that fishnet bathing suit on vacation I prayed I’d never have to see it again.  Unfortunately my prayers went unanswered.  Minus 22.   If Kenya wanted people to stop saying she’s cray cray, she really needed to stop acting like it.   How funny was it when Kenya pointed out to Phaedra that she only attacked her professionally, then went on to attack her personally not 30 seconds later?  Plus 10.    I’ve always thought Phaedra was wrong to spread the rumor that Kenya was mentally ill. That’s not something to joke about but Kenya’s behavior does make me wonder if she missed her meds.    Where does all the cray cray leave us?  With Kandi mentioning she’d like to sing gospel.  Maybe she can hook that up to her musical vibrators at Bedroom Kandi. Just saying.   Episode total = -42!                                  Season total = -125!
