In a truly stunning turn of events that may leave us questioning whether all of reality TV is scripted, a very reliable source says Bethenny Frankel’s supposedly daring rescue at sea last month was nothing but a farce. The story goes like this: Bethenny and husband Jason Hoppy were sailing comfortably between Block Island and Nantucket when their GPS malfunctioned and they had to call for help , barely surviving what Frankel described as a “traumatic” experience. But Tim Russell, the man who actually ventured out and brought Bethenny’s family in, says the story is a lie . He says the Coast Guard refused to drive out to Frankel’s vessel because the GPS was, indeed, working and there was simply no danger afoot. But Bethenny’s therapist insisted on calling a tow company, reached Russell and agreed to his $250 towing fee. Russell and his wife drove out and found nine people just hanging out on a working sailboat: Bethenny, Hoppy, the therapist and a Bravo film crew of six. They were fine. Frankel even came back in on the boat she went out on, simply following Russell’s tow ship to shore. One of the final sights a perturbed Russell witnessed before exiting angrily from the scene? A supposedly relieved Bethenny kissing the dock, just as a cameraman set up to get a close up. Russell says there are documents that prove the Coast Guard turned down the call because it deemed Frankel’s boat to be in working condition.
Bethenny Frankel is okay, folks. The reality star had a memorable weekend for all the wrong reasons, she admitted today, opening up about a sailing trip gone horribly wrong. Bethenny and husband Jason Hoppy took off on a sailboat between Block Island and Nantucket on Saturday. It was meant to be a simple eight-hour adventure… but the GPS malfunctioned and “the captain had to call the Coast Guard and we were hit by a big wave,” Frankel explained to E!.” It was very scary. It was traumatic. Absolutely traumatic.” A Coast Guard spokesperson confirmed the experience and says the group of 10 was guided back to shore around 4 a.m. “It was so scary. I was thinking, Oh, my God, Bryn! I’m not going to be there at six o’clock in the morning when she wakes up and she’s going to wonder where Mommy is and gosh, if something were to happen to me, what would happen to her. I was having horrendous thoughts.” Fortunately, all returned home safe and sound – and in time for Frankel’s E! True Hollywood Story to air on Wednesday night. [Photo: WENN.com]
Barrymore jumps behind the camera for Best Coast’s new ‘Our Deal’ clip. By James Montgomery Chloe Moretz in the “Our Deal” supervideo Ever since they released their debut disc, Crazy for You, last summer, Cali fuzz-poppers Best Coast have become your favorite “cool” celebrity’s favorite “cool” band, championed by celebs from Miranda Cosgrove to Jimmy Fallon (and just about everyone in between). So, it should come as no surprise that the Coast’s new supervideo for Crazy for You track “Our Deal” is quite the celebrified thing, featuring cameos from the likes of Donald Glover, Alia Shawkat, Chlo
New clip is a brightly-colored, paint-covered celebration of everyday life. By James Montgomery Coldplay’s Chris Martin in their “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” music video Photo: Capitol It’s probably impossible to measure how many gallons of paint — glow-in-the-dark, high-gloss, Krylon, etc. — were used in the making of Coldplay’s brand-new “Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall” video, which premiered Wednesday (June 29). But suffice it to say, it was probably a lot. It seems that paint, gloriously splashed and joyously hued, is a recurring theme in the band’s upcoming fifth album; while you can infer from that what you will, in the case of Coldplay’s “Waterfall” clip, the end result is one that matches the sheer uplift of the song itself. This is a video that shakes you to life. Filmed mainly in stop-motion, the video follows Chris Martin and his mates as they wander through, above and, eventually, outside a decaying urban expanse, their music — and, of course, the paint — breathing new life into its crumbling husk. In a way, that’s sort of like the song, too. Martin’s lyrics are very much about the power his old records possess; they imbue ordinary life with the extraordinary. Aside from the paint, the clip’s use of stop-motion recalls earlier Coldplay videos, most notably “Strawberry Swing,” but they’ve always had a thing for messing with the constraints of time (see the shot-in-reverse “The Scientist” or “Christmas Lights” for proof). Their new one matches the exuberance of “Swing” and the childlike wonder of “Lights,” and, unlike “The Scientist,” there isn’t a single horrifying car wreck to be seen. But mostly it’s about all that paint, those colors and the ability they have to brighten everyday life. Just like Martin sings, every siren can be a symphony and every heartbeat can build a cathedral. With “Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall,” Coldplay prove that they’re always on message, even when they’re making a glorious mess. Related Artists Coldplay
Two new posthumous songs take aim at Dr. Dre, Nas, Mobb Deep, De La Soul and others. By Rob Markman Tupac Photo: Chi Modu Tupac Shakur ‘s rigorous recording habits ensured that the late rapper would continue to make a musical impact, even in the afterlife. Since his death in 1996, fans have been treated to albums worth of posthumous ‘Pac records, but the two records that leaked onto the Internet late Tuesday night are sure to cause a stir. A far cry from Shakur’s uplifting tunes like “Changes” and ” ‘Til the End of Time,” the two new tracks, “NY 87” and an alternate version of the little-known “Watch Yo Mouth,” take aim at East Coast rap artists like the Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, Mobb Deep, Nas, De La Soul and former ‘Pac ally Dr. Dre. Both songs appear to have been recorded circa 1996, when ‘Pac was in a feud with Diddy’s Bad Boy record label and various other New York artists, including the Notorious B.I.G. It was around this time when Shakur recorded and released his two most famous dis tracks “Hit ‘Em Up” and “Against All Odds” from his The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album, which he recorded under the alias Makaveli. While “Watch Yo Mouth” is being touted as a new track, the song popped up online over two years ago. The version that was leaked this week has an alternate beat behind it, but the words remain the same. On it, the fiery Shakur begins with a barrage of Dr. Dre insults: “He ain’t made a beat in six years, swear he the sh–/ Won’t get no record sales suckin’ Nas’ di–.” Nasty Nas also gets thrown under the bus as ‘Pac compares the two rappers’ record sales. De La Soul, Wendy Williams, Diddy and the Notorious B.I.G. all get ridiculed. Even in his lyrical tirade, the rapper attempts to downplay the much-hyped East Coast/ West Coast beef of the mid-1990s by chanting, “For my n—as on the east side” throughout the song. “NY 87,” however, is a different story. Featuring raps by Tha Dogg pound (Daz and Kurupt) and Threat, the bass-heavy dis track starts with a monologue from DJ Quik declaring, “Them n—–s on the East is the enemy.” Though the track is being labeled on the Net as a ‘Pac track, it is Tha Dogg Pound who are prominently featured. Appearing only on the last verse, ‘Pac doesn’t name-check any artists, but he does spit, “Move mother—-ers ’til they feel me/ It’s West Coast n—a, f— New York, now did everybody hear me?” As of now it is unknown who released these tracks and why. The timing comes a little more than one week after Dexter Isaacs spoke to AllHipHop.com about his involvement in the 1994 robbery and non-fatal shooting of Shakur and after the hip-hop community celebrated what would’ve been Tupac’s 40th birthday on June 16. Many have speculated that the feud between Tupac and Biggie is what led to the deaths of both rappers. Those rumors have never been confirmed. What do you think of these two posthumous Tupac songs?

N.O.R.E. contradicts account of events in Prodigy’s autobiography. By Rob Markman Capone N Noreaga Photo: MTV News The accounts in Prodigy’s newly released book “My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy” (Simon and Schuster) has fellow Queens rapper N.O.R.E. up in arms about P’s recollection of things. On Wednesday, Noreaga spoke to MTV News and questioned why his longtime friend would bring up already-settled street beefs that eventually left two men shot. The “Super Thug” rapper is also refuting Prodigy’s claim that “L.A., L.A.” — a 1996 dis song aimed at Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Tupac Shakur — was originally a Mobb Deep track. Noreaga goes on to say that originally, Prodigy wanted no parts of the much-hyped East Coast/ West Coast beef. “Now, is he delusional?” Nore asked. “Have you seen the record ever been [credited as] Mobb Deep featuring Capone-N-Noreaga?” The original “L.A., L.A.” was recorded in 1996, and a remixed version later appeared on Capone-N-Noreaga’s 1997 debut album The War Report. The track was a direct response to Tha Dogg Pound’s “New York, New York” and its video, which famously featured larger-than-life versions of Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and Daz kicking over New York skyscrapers. While N.O.R.E. does admit that Prodigy originally had a verse on the C-N-N song, he says that P had his record label, Loud Records, request to have his verse removed. “Loud called us and said, ‘You have to make sure that Prodigy verse doesn’t exist,’ ” Nore said. “What happened was in between that time ‘Pac dropped [‘Hit ‘Em Up’] and said, ‘Mobb Deep, don’t one of you dudes got sickle-cell.’ ” “L.A., L.A.” provided a notable moment in the mid-’90’s East Coast/ West Coast feud, when rappers from both New York and California hurled disses at each other. The late Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur were the principal players, but rappers like Nas, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep and Snoop Dogg were also called out at one point in the coastal rivalry. In his book, Prodigy criticized Jay-Z for not standing up to ‘Pac’s slander, but Nore contends that originally Prodigy also had some apprehension in involving himself in the war of words. “So, even when he said he was mad at Jay-Z for not representing New York, he’s delusional,” he says. “[‘L.A., L.A.’ wasn’t him; that wasn’t his idea. That was a Capone-N-Noreaga, Tragedy thing.” N.O.R.E. also points out another discrepancy in the autobiography that was released earlier this week. Prodigy claimed that his Mobb Deep counterpart Havoc once punched veteran Queensbridge rapper Tragedy in the face for having an affair with his girlfriend while Nore looked on. “When he says that [Havoc] stepped to Trag and I was there, it was all fabricated,” he says. “All I know from Havoc and Trag’s relationship was that they were cool. So, when I read the book, and he’s actually saying things that he’s heard, maybe from his perspective, but he’s definitely not speaking the truth when it comes to me.” Related Artists Prodigy of Mobb Deep
