Jon Favreau Did Not Write the State of the Union Address

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

How about Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night? Wasn’t it — um, muted? Yeah, it was. Still, that probably had more to do with the state of the country and the recent shootings in Arizona — plus the awkward bipartisan seating arrangement — than anything else. As such, let’s give it up to Jon Favreau for making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what! Not that Jon Favreau. “Thanks for all the congratulations,” the Cowboys & Aliens director wrote on Twitter. “But I didn’t write the State of the Union address.” No truth to the rumor that Political Favreau — the president’s speech writer — walks around the White House talking about how he’s BFF with Robert Downey Jr. [ @Jon_Favreau ]

It’s a boy! Former boxing champion Mike Tyson is a dad for the eighth time , RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. The Hangover star and his wife Lakiha Spicer Tyson welcomed a little boy on Tuesday. It’s Tyson’s first child after the shocking death of his four-year-old daughter Exodus, who died in May, 2009, when her neck accidentally got wrapped in a cord of an exercise machine. “Mike and Lakiha are very happy and everyone is doing great,” a source close to the fighter tells RadarOnline.com. The couple, who married just 10 days after Exodus’ death, have not yet decided on a name for the little one. Tyson, 44, married Lakiha, 32, are already parents to a two-year-old daughter, Milan. The controversial former heavyweight star has six other children: Rayna, Amir, Mikey, Miguel, D’Mato and Milan. RadarOnline.com has learned Lakiha entered a Las Vegas hospital on Monday in preparation for the birth. We broke the story that Mike and Lakiha were expecting their second child and obtained first photos of the couple on a dinner date with friends at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas, last September. Congrats to Mike…if the new baby looks anything like little Milan , he’s gonna be adorable. Via Radaronline

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Vanessa Simmons has landed her first feature film, and Bossip is giving you the exclusive first look. The movie “Speed-Dating” is a high energy romantic comedy starring Holly Robinson Pete, Wesley Jonathan, Emmy Award winner Chris Elliot and Chingy. Think modern day “Thin Line Between Love And Hate” minus the crazy broad out to kill someone: Wesley’s character Too Cool comes up with the idea of doing a “Speed Dating” event after his boys Dog & Beaver – played by Chico Benymon and Leonard Robinson – spend their last dime on a nightclub. But of course, they fully expect their scheme to help them bag a few jawns of their own. Check out one Vanessa’s scenes below. Could she be the next Vivica??? Speed-Dating hits stores on DVD on February 8th.

Roger Ebert Has His Jaw Reconstructed

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Following a battle with jaw cancer, Roger Ebert not only lost his voice, but the lower half of his face. “I studiously avoided looking at myself in a mirror,” Ebert writes on his blog Wednesday. Now, his jaw has been reconstructed. It was a “two-year process that has now resulted with my coming into possession of a silicone prosthesis,” Ebert, 68, explains. “This device [fits] over my lower face and neck and colored to match my skin.” But Ebert, who has been open about the facial procedures he had to undergo during his painful battle, doesn’t expect people to think he’s back to normal. “I will wear the prosthesis on the new television show – that’s not to fool anyone, because my appearance is widely known,” he says. “It will be a pleasant reminder of the person I was for 64 years.” “Symbolically, it’s as if my illness never happened and, hey, here I still am, on the show with these new kids,” he adds. “When people see the ‘Roger’s Office’ segment, they’ll notice my voice more than my appearance.” Awww…damn, at least they were able to make a prosthesis to fit his face… Source

Monica Speaks On Shannon Brown Secretly Wifing Her Up And Possibly Having More Babies

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We loved these two as a couple , but now even more so as a married couple: It’s true! Monica and Shannon quietly tied the knot on November 22nd at their home in Los Angeles and only HipHollywood spoke with the singing superstar to get the details. In an exclusive statement, Monica cleared up all the confusion and admitted that indeed, Shannon is her HUSBAND. “This is a very special time in my life. I am blessed to have married the man that God sent me, he’s loving, compassionate, strong and supportive of my children, family and career. I look forward to our lives together.” News of the couples alleged engagement began to spread in mid-october after Monica tweeted a photo of the massive diamond that Shannon put on her finger. Monica and Shannon originally met on the set of her video “Love All Over Me”, and she talked about her man, when HipHollywood spoke with her at the LA stop of her Passion, Pain and Pleasure tour, late last year. The couple still plans to hold a ceremony this summer, when the world will be able to see them exchange vows. In the meantime, Shannon is working hard on a possible 3peat and running all of his businesses, while Monica is excited about being nominated for 2 grammy awards and finishing her new album “New Life”, that’s due to be released in the summer. Monica also hinted at extending their family, later this summer. Congrats to them. Source

A “Lil Positivity” Michelle Obama And Wal-Mart Team Up For “Lets Move!”, Promotes Healthy Eating For Families

Posted on January 21, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The first lady is trying to save the youth and change their eating habits, and after taking a look at the kids around the local mall, we’re not mad at her. Michelle Obama is really making an effort to change the way Americans view healthy food. Her “Let’s Move” campaign aims to promote exercise and better food choices for families, and already she has started to push for salad bars in school cafeterias, and encouraged food giants like Kraft and Coca Cola to stop serving out crap (for lack of a better word). So, it makes sense then that companies who want to make the First Lady happy might heed her advice. And now Walmart is doing just that, by unveiling a plan to overhaul the types of food sold at its super center stores across the country. “No family should have to choose between food that is healthier for them and food they can afford,” stated Bill Simon, president and CEO of Walmart. “We are committed to working with suppliers, government and non-governmental organizations to provide solutions that help Americans eat healthier and live a better life.” Its not a joke people, the sh*t they tryna feed us nowadays WILL kill you if you don’t take care of yourself. Act accordingly… Source

If Snooki Wasn’t On Jersey Shore, She’d Be __________

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If it wasn’t for the unexplainable phenomenon that is Snooki, none of us would have been blessed with Nicole Polizzi’s New York Times Bestselling authoring talents. But, unfortunately, we actually CAN add making the New York Times’ Bestseller list to the growing number of things Snooki does without explanation. If MTV hadn’t stumbled upon the reality cashcow that is “Jersey Shore,” what/who do you think Snooki would be?

Keyshia Cole Gives Details On Upcoming Wedding: “I Want It Drama Free With A Waterfall”

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Keyshia and Boobie will marry next month, but still have yet to set an exact date: Big wedding, little drama. That’s Keyshia Cole’s recipe for wedded bliss. “I want a waterfall, and I won’t rest until I get it,” the R&B singer, who’s set to marry NBA player Daniel Gibson next month, told PEOPLE at Saturday’s taping of the BET Honors in Washington, D.C. The show will air Feb. 21 at 9 p.m. But just because she’s determined, that doesn’t make her a bridezilla. “No, I’m cool,” Cole says, admitting that she’s running the show. “It’s all me. He just wants to dance, that’s it.” Cole and her Cleveland Cavalier fiancé, who got engaged shortly before having their first child early last year, still haven’t nailed down the wedding date for next month. But it won’t be Valentine’s Day. “[It’s] more like the 17th or the 22nd, somewhere in there,” Cole says. When the day arrives, their son, Daniel Hiram Gibson Jr., might try a little dancing, too. “He’s definitely walking now. He says ‘Mommy,’ and I think he’s starting to say ‘Keyshia.’ That’s exciting,” Cole says. And which parent does he take after? Says Cole: “His dad bought him a basketball – and he’s definitely dunking already.” Awww, how wonderful. We think they make a great couple, congrats to them. Source
