People Respond To Gillette’s Ad Featuring A Black Father Teaching His Trans Son To Shave For The First Time

Posted on May 29, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: picture alliance / Getty Earlier this year, Gillette released a commercial asking that men do away with their toxic behaviors. They filmed an entire commercial documenting these behaviors and simply asked men to do better  because these types of attitudes and behaviors have been harmful to not only women but other men. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). Because people are not always here for progress, the commercial received quite a bit of backlash. And while a lesser company might have stepped away from making sociopolitical messages in their advertising, in order to protect their profits, they actually doubled down. This newly unveiled commercial features a father teaching his trans son how to shave for the first time. And while there was also criticism for this ad, we’re going to focus on the people who loved it. See what others had to say below… . @Gillette ’s new ad shows a father teaching his trans son how to shave. We’re not crying, you’re crying. Bravo to brave companies like Gillette that are paving the way for a more inclusive world! pic.twitter.com/ABwd1k981C — The Mask You Live In (@MaskYouLiveIn) May 25, 2019 I love how people get mad about this story. I think Gillette has firmly placed itself as “the woke razor” for a little while now so we shouldn't be surprised they took this on. Buy your Bics and move on with your life, Travis.

Lamar Odom Details Love Affair With Taraji P. Henson: “I Don’t Think I Ever Connected With Another Black Woman As Deeply As I Did With Taraji”

Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty Former NBA star Lamar Odom is literally going hard in the paint to promote his memoir, “Darkness to Light,” and is revealing some truly jaw dropping tidbits along the way. While we’ve known him for his athletic ability, his celebrity marriage to Khloe Kardashian , and the subsequent drug use which almost resulted in death, Odom shared that prior to taking vows with Khloe, he was once head over heels for Empire actress Taraji P. Henson . Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). “We ended up exchanging numbers. She was just such a wise woman that she could see through whatever smooth act I was trying to put on,” Odom wrote. “She refused to be just another conquest, and truthfully, I didn’t want her to be.” Odom and Henson met and began dating sometime in 2008 around the same time when Henson’s son Marcel was 14 years ago, according to his account. Though we may have not been aware of their coupledom, it looks like Odom was Henson’s date at a 2009 Golden Globe after party. He called that period one of the “happiest times in his life.” “We started secretly dating and quickly fell in love,” he continued. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Since that time Henson has of course moved on and is currently planning her nuptials to former NFL player Kelvin Hayden. But it’s interesting to see Odom be so open and honest about how he feels knowing he let a go thing go.

Kardashians Trademark "Psalm West" as Kris Jenner Slams Critics of Bizarre Name

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We’ve come to expect unusual names from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. After all, this is the couple who previously gave us North West, Saint West, and Chicago West. But some folks believe the Kardashian-Wests topped themselves when they selected a moniker for their fourth child. ” Psalm West ” quickly became a trending topic when Kimye made the announcement last week. And we probably don’t need to tell you that the feedback was not entirely positive. In fact, many were quick to roast Kim and Kanye for what they viewed as a laughably sanctimonious appellation. But the Kard clan has spent the past ten years operating under a very specific business model that involves turning online hate into cold, hard cash. And so, they won’t let a few million nay-sayers prevent them from cashing in on Lil Psalm’s name. According to TMZ, Kim has already filed to have “Psalm West” trademark protected so that her company can use the name to market a possible haircare line … as well as many, many other products. Those products include — but are not limited to: Entertainment services, personal appearances, skin care, probiotic supplements, toy figures and doll accessories, computer software, clothing, baby bottles, furniture, strollers, beverageware, swaddling blankets. And there’s more: Skin moisturizers, lotions, creams, bubble bath, fragrances, body powders, shower gels, body oils, skin serums, nail polish, nail polish remover, nail care preparations. Pretty random assortment of items, but don’t worry, Kim also protected herself with regard to more age-appropriate products, such as: Puppets, puzzles, toy jewelry, toy cameras, toy food, bath toys, baby gyms, playground balls, electronic action toys, baby bouncers, baby changing tables, baby walkers, pillows, mirrors, cushions, picture frames, and playpens. Believe it or not, the list goes on (and on, and on …) from there. It may seem like an odd move, as Kim and Kanye haven’t marketed any products named after their previous three kids (yet). So is Psalm some sort of golden boy who’s being tasked with carrying the family fortune into the next generation? Not necessarily. Kim and Kanye have licensed all of their kids’ names (though not necessarily with regard to quite so many products). As far as we can tell, it’s their way of ensuring the children will be able to cash in on their names when the time comes — as well as a safeguard against anyone else doing so in the meantime. Elsewhere in the book of Psalms, Kris Jenner got all huffy when someone pointed out how weird the name is, and she pointed out that it’s a biblical reference, because apparently, she thinks all us poors are also dumbs: “The inspiration was the Book of Psalms in the Bible,” Jenner told Entertainment Tonight. “I think it’s just a wonderful way to celebrate how they feel. “And he’s such a blessing, so it’s perfect.” Yeah, but maybe a kids’ name should be more about the kid and less about the fact that his dad was on a religious kick at the time he was born. Just a thought. View Slideshow: Psalm West: Twitter Roasts Kim and Kanye Over New Baby Name

Demi Lovato Also Thinks Bachelorette Suitor Luke Parker is Full of Crap

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Demi Lovato just started watching The Bachelorette for the first time. But the singer has already come to the same conclusion about early front-runner Luke Parker as many an experienced viewer of this franchise. Which is to say the following: Lovato thinks star Hannah Brown should run as far away from this suitor as possible. Heck, jump a fence if she needs to. Just do NOT give this man another rose, Demi says. Lovato watched the episode two of The Bachelorette season 15 one day after it originally aired on Monday, May 20 — and felt the need to pass along a very simple message to Brown immediately afterward. “Hannah, honey, do not trust him!!!!!!” she captioned a clip of the dating series on her Instagram Stories. Why does Lovato feel this way? Because Parker dropped the L Bomb on Hannah this week , like a day after meeting her for the first time. After Luke told Hannah that he’s “starting to fall in love” with her, despite it being extremely early in the season, Lovato’s reaction was clear: “Huh?! How?!” she wrote. “I’m uncomfortable. I’m cringing,” Lovato added. She wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Most observers don’t understand how Parker should say such a thing at this point in the show’s run — unless, of course, he’s just spewing a bunch of seemingly romantic crap in order to end up in a Fantasy Suite with Hannah down the line. In other words: He may be on this show for the wrong reasons. Parker spilled his love-themed tea while on stage in front of many other contestants, setting up quite the awkward situation for all involved. But Hannah seemed to buy it. She had previously given Luke her First Impression Rose and she then crowned him Mr. Right after this week’s group date pageant. “He was the person that I had the first real, indescribable connection with… And if anybody was going to say it, I would more so believe Luke out of anybody,” Hannah said on air, adding this past Monday: “[But] at the end of the night, I started questioning it a little bit too.” She also started making out with Parker a lot, though, so she must have come up with her own answers to those questions. Lovato isn’t the only celebrity who is down on Luke Parker . On his podcast last week, former Bachelor anchor Nick Viall laid into the aspiring husband very hard. “I really f-cking hate him ,” Viall said of Parker, mocking the suitor for saying that God spoke to him in the shower a little while back and told him to stop having so much random sex. “He’s a terrible human being,” Viall added, prior to Tweeting: Luke P seems like the type of guy who is capable of being really shitty and then defends his action by saying ‘Only God can judge me.’ Not true Luke, I’m judging you right now. Also, i hate your tie. #theBachelorette. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out Hannah Brown’s Final THREE! [UPDATED] But the question remains: Will Hannah love or hate Luke in the end?

Kaitlyn Bristowe: Jason Tartick is NOT a Rebound From Shawn Booth!

Posted on May 21, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Six months ago Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth called off their 3-year long engagement .  Bachelor Nation did not see it coming, but apparently, Kaitlyn totally did?  That’s right, the season 11 Bachelorette star knew for almost a full year that her relationship with her personal trainer fiance was sinking… fast.  Kaitlyn made the confession on Tuesday’s episode of The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast, according to E!.  “I think I knew for a year that my relationship wouldn’t work,” she said.  “I think I knew that he just couldn’t give me the kind of love that I needed in my life.”  “And I think for a solid year, maybe half a year, I was already grieving the relationship,” she told host Ashley Laconetti.  “I think I was just so prepared for it that, when it happened, I knew what I wanted; and I knew what I deserved; and I knew that I was happy on my own and that I wasn’t just replacing somebody.”  Well, it seems the universe was listening because Jason Tartick, from Becca Kufrin’s season, was right there with arms wide open following Bristowe’s unexpected split.  Fans watched Kaitlyn and Shawn find their (not so) happily ever after back in 2015 on The Bachelorette .  Their season ended in a stunning proposal and the two were even considered one of the franchise’s most successful couples… before they called it quits in 2018, of course.  So when fans got word of Jason and Kaitlyn’s prompt pairing , some took it as a slap in the face to Shawn.  But the 33-year-old rejects any speculation at spite or enmity towards her former lover.  “It can seem fast, but to me, it was perfect timing because I just knew what I wanted and I just didn’t see it happening,” Kaitlyn shared.  “I was like, there’s no way I’m going to meet somebody that quick that could make me that happy.”  She also said that it was definitely weird timing, but “it wasn’t too fast for” her.  It’s pretty funny she didn’t think she’d be able to jump back into the dating game, considering that has been her money maker throughout the years. And besides, we all know that Bach alums usually find their next partner within their famous TV circle — it’s basically just a really good recycling system with really attractive humans.  However, Bristowe insists that she never expected to date someone else from the ABC franchise.  “Shawn and I had a very difficult time on the show, and I think that was really hard on our relationship,” she said.  “I think I was a little bit jaded by Bachelor relationships because of that.” “So, I just figured, you know, I’m just going to move past that, and I won’t date anyone from The Bachelor franchise.” “I thought I’d be single for, like, five years… because I knew I was OK with that.”  But it seems that fate had a different plan.  Even though Kait admitted that she was  still “heartbroken” when she met Tartick while recording a podcast, the two became quick friends. Kaitlyn was even rooting for him to be the next Bachelor … “It was like my heart knew that there was something there and there was some reason I was rooting for his happiness and I cared about him,” Kaitlyn said.  “But I didn’t ever see it as anything [that] it turned into.”  Which apparently  (fr this time!!)  is true love.  View Slideshow: Kaitlyn Bristowe & Shawn Booth Split, Crush Soul of Bachelor Nation

“Real Housewives Of Potomac’s” Gizelle Bryant Talks New Book, Love After Shermy & Why New Season Is The “Best Yet” (Exclusive)

Posted on May 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Bravo / Getty Reality Star & Entrepreneur Talks Season Four Of RHOP Viewers saw plenty of drama last season of “The Real Housewives of Potomac.” Last season, we saw plenty of drama involving the ladies of Potomac. And this season, show star Gizelle Bryant said issues like Michael Darby’s arrest, Monique Samuels’ and Ashley Darby’s pregnancy, Candiace Dillard’s wedding and a cast trip to the Big Easy will not disappoint. “I do feel like this season of ‘Real Housewives’ is the best yet,” Bryant told us. “I feel like this is going to become our breakout season. Not that people don’t know who we are, but I feel like people are super excited about where the franchise is going.” We caught up with the “Everyhue Beauty” founder and mom of three, and she spoke about what viewers can expect, dropping her novel, “My World,” and her dating life after breaking up with her now ex-Sherman. BOSSIP: Things were up and down last season between you and Karen. What is your relationship like now? Gizelle: “Currently, it’s up and down, I never know where it’s gonna land. Off the heels of the reunion last year, said ‘Gizelle, if you’re my friend, you’ll knock down my door. So that’s what I have been trying to do. She’s been in a tough spot, she lost her parents, so I wanna be a friend to her. But if you keep pushing me away, at some point I’m just going to go away…But she and I have known each other for a long time. And I get that she’s a tough friend to have, but you do want her as a friend.” BOSSIP: How are things between you and Candiace now? And how was her wedding? Gizelle: “She actually invited me to the wedding. I did go. She wanted to sit down and chit chat before the wedding because she didn’t want any drama at the wedding. Over time, I’ve got to know Candiace better and I really like Candiace. She’s a spoiled brat. She has issues. But I like her for who she is…It was a beautiful wedding. A beautiful wedding, and so super happy for her.” Source: Brian Stukes / Getty BOSSIP: How is Ashley Darby doing? We know her husband was cleared of suspicion of sex assault, and we know she’s pretty far along in her pregnancy. Gizelle: “She’s eight months, so she’s ready to pop. She’s super excited. We’ve all seen Ashley go through a miscarriage, and struggle to get pregnant again. So she is pregnant – Michael is the father! (Laughs) I don’t know how we feel about that. Just kidding. But Michael is a special character. So we see throughout the season – and you’ve all heard – his allegations. They’ve been dropped. But to get to that place where the allegations are dropped, it’s very juicy and there are a lot of twists and turns, so stay tuned for that!”

Anna Duggar: Unrecognizable In SHOCKING Weight Loss Photo!

Posted on April 16, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Usually, when there’s some controversy surrounding Anna Duggar’s social media presence, it has to do with fans being upset that the reality star is still married to Josh Duggar, despite their admonishments to divorce him. This time, however, Anna’s followers were stunned to see the mother of five looking like a completely different woman. Yes, believe it or not, that’s Anna on the far right. The photo was posted by Jana Duggar in celebration of a visit from her longtime friend, Laura DeMasie, who recently relocated from Arkansas to Georgia. Given all the speculation about Jana and Laura’s relationship (It’s long been rumored that the two are more than friends.), you might think that the comments section would’ve been loaded with innuendo. Instead, all eyes were on Anna as fans marveled at her physical transformation. “I thought that was a relative of Anna’s. Looks like her but also doesn’t,” wrote one fan. “Anna is tall and she looks different in this pic!” commented another. “Why does this not look like Anna?! Haha!! She looks like a high schooler! Not a bad thing at all,” a third pointed out. We’re sure Anna is beaming at all the complimentary comments. For once, there was no significant trolling on a Duggar social media post, which is a nice change of pace. There was, however, one big question on the minds of many commenters: What’s Anna’s secret to shedding the pounds so quickly after birthing five children? Unfortunately, it looks as though fans might be disappointed to learn there’s no magic bullet solution at work here. In fact, as far as we can tell Anna’s path to weight loss consisted mainly of increased physical activity, primarily walking. We first caught a glimpse of Anna’s new physique last month, and it seems the slimming down has only continued since then. Also around that time, Anna revealed her workout regimen , which led many hopeful fans to speculate that she was preparing to leave Josh and re-enter the singles scene. That hasn’t proven to be the case, but Anna has inspired fans by proving that it’s possible to lose the extra pounds without dramatically altering one’s lifestyle. Anna set a goal of walking 50 miles in the month of February. She exceeded that milestone by 5 miles, and kept the initiative going with her “March Through March” campaign. Clearly, all that hard work is paying off — and as a bonus, if Anna does decide to leave Josh she’s all ready to dive back into the dating pool. Just sayin’.
