Is Miley Cyrus Too Thin?

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Is the gluten-free girl going to wither away before our eyes? Leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach Wednesday, Miley Cyrus sported a slim gray mini dress, putting her shrinking figure on full display. Later, she rocked a tube top and some shorts that barely covered what little of her there is left. Both outfits have sparked some concern … In April, the last time Miley Cyrus anorexic rumors popped up, she explained on Twitter that her noticeable weight loss wasn’t from battling an eating disorder. “For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy,” she said. “It’s not about weight – it’s about health. Gluten is crap anyway!” The 19-year-old then added, “Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing. You won’t go back!” Even if that’s true, to a point, people can go overboard, as some say Miley has done with whatever’s caused her to appear so gaunt of late. Or not. Talk to THG: Is Miley Cyrus too thin?

Chuck Brown Dead at 75

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Chuck Brown, a musician known as the “Godfather of Go-Go,” has died. The Washington, D.C. musical giant, born in Gaston, N.C., and perhaps best known for his group’s 1979 chart-topping hit “Bustin’ Loose,” was 75. Earlier this month, Chuck Brown’s family revealed that he had pneumonia. He canceled a planned performance in April due to health concerns. According to the AP, Brown was pronounced dead at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore. From The Washington Post ‘s obituary: “Known as the ‘Godfather of Go-Go,’ the singer, guitarist and songwriter developed his commanding brand of funk in the mid-’70s to compete with the dominance of disco.” “Like a DJ blending records, Mr. Brown used nonstop percussion to stitch songs together and keep the crowd on the dance floor, resulting in marathon performances.” “Mr. Brown said the style got its name because “the music just goes and goes.” Chuck Brown – Bustin’ Loose As NPR reported, “the name Chuck Brown might not mean a whole lot to people outside the Washington, D.C., area. That would be their loss.” R.I.P.

How Much Does Jessica Simpson Weigh Right Now?

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Now that Jessica Simpson has given birth to a 9-pound, 13-oz. baby daughter, Maxwell Drew, her other new baby has her undivided attention: A new $4 million deal with Weight Watchers . “As soon as Jessica heals from the C-section, she is extremely determined to work out,” a confidant says. “She wants to show the world and is excited to do it.” And is contractually obligated to do it. Since announcing that she and her fiance Eric Johnson were expecting their first child, Jessica has been under scrutiny over her pregnancy weight gain. The 5-foot-3 star, who admitted weighing 175 pounds when she posed nude and pregnant for the April issue of Elle, needs to do a serious slim-down. A source familiar with the Weight Watchers negotiations says the stakes are high, as she’s got to lose at least 50 pounds. LITERALLY no pain, no gain. “She’ll have to meet the weight-loss goals for the deal to go through,” says the source, adding that the new mom will be under a lot of pressure. “She hasn’t chosen a trainer yet. In fact, she hasn’t even thought about it. But if she wants this, she’ll need to work out a good five times a week.” For four million bucks? She can deal. [Photo: WENN.com]

Beyonce Baby Weight: Totally Gone!

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

All the single ladies, put your hands up … and prepare to be envious. A little over two months after giving birth to her baby daughter Blue Ivy Carter , a smiling Beyonce stepped out last night and she looks … wow. Just wow. The singer got dolled up for a fundraising event for President Obama – the same one that drew headlines for Robert De Niro’s “White First Lady” joke . There was no controversy about this, though: She looked awesome! Bey wore a snug navy dress by Victoria Beckham, sky-high heels and some dazzling bling (including a diamond-encrusted eagle) with her hair in a simple ponytail. So what was Beyonce doing right in terms of new mom style ? “When you think of the things women dislike about themselves, the majority don’t like their upper arms and also have skirt-length issues,” one stylist told MTV. “She’s addressed both of these. It’s an interesting choice because it’s snug, not tight. There’s a distinction between the two. It’s body-flattering, for sure.” For sure. [Photo: WENN.com]

Alliance Kamdem Restraining Order Request Against Gabriel Aubry: Denied!

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

While Halle Berry attempts to deny Gabriel Aubry access to daughter Nahla – following a report that claims he shoved the child’s nanny while she was holding the three-year old – a Los Angeles judge has granted this model one tiny victory in court. Alliance Kamdem, the nanny in question, had applied for a restraining order against her former employer on grounds that he has abused her physically and emotionally, twice pushing her out of doorways; sometimes violently snatching his child out of her arms; and once even saying she was a “spy.” But a judge referred to Kamdem’s petition today as “insufficient and speculative.” He said she should take her complaint to family court. Alliance quit her position after the most recent incident and has also filed a police report against Aubry. [Photo: WENN.com]
