Katie Couric Officially Out at CBS News; Eyeing New Show at ABC?

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

CBS News’ Katie Couric officially confirmed what we all knew was coming today: She is leaving CBS News . “I’m really proud of the talented team on the CBS Evening News and the award-winning work we’ve been able to do in the past five years in addition to the reporting I’ve done for 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning,” she told People . What does the future hold for Couric exactly? “In making the decision to move on, I know that the Evening News will be in great hands, but I am excited about the future.” “I am looking at a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling,” she says, though when and where are “still being discussed.” There is still an offer on the table for Couric to stay at CBS with a syndicated talk show and a role on 60 Minutes , but they’re not the only interested party. ABC has made a big push for a Couric talk show plus even wider exposure across its news platforms, including a presence on its 2012 election coverage. CBS News is reportedly not willing to match that end of the offer. NBC, which had expressed interest, is no longer in the running. One person close to Couric described the ABC move as “a distinct possibility.” Sources say CBS News initially accepted the idea of having Couric keep a role in the division, but have grown weary of the drawn-out negotiation process. “They are ready to wish her well,” says a person close to the talks. Scott Pelley will replace Katie as CBS News anchor.

The rest is here:

Nic Cage Arrest May Result in Child Abuse Probe

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Nicolas Cage’s arrest on domestic violence charges April 15 may not be the extent of his problems. Child abuse questions are being raised as well. The actor may be investigated for child abuse after he reportedly caused minor injury to his five-year-old son AND his wife with his drunken antics. Cage’s wife, Alice Kim, told the police that they were arguing “due to his intoxicated state” and Cage fell while holding their son. According to Alice: “The fall caused the 5-year-old to suffer a minor abrasion to his left knee.” A witness to the incident told a different version of the story, reportedly having seen “Mr. Cage pull the male child to the ground by his hand.” The report states that a child abuse detective was notified and the police wanted to interview Cage’s son, Kal-El, but Kim would not let them. Yes, the boy’s name is Kal-El. For now, sources say child abuse officials feel no investigation is merited, but that local Child Protective Services may still be contacting Cage. On the night in question, Cage was reportedly “very drunk” on a New Orleans street when a taxi driver allegedly witnessed a loud altercation . The cabbie reportedly called the police when Cage pushed Alice. Cage taunted cops into taking him into custody, repeatedly refusing their requests to quietly go home and asking, “Why don’t you just arrest me?” The officers ultimately obliged, charging Cage with disturbing the peace and domestic violence. Alice Kim denied any physical violence occurred. She said that Cage, who was arguing with her over where they were staying, should not be charged, and insisted that “her husband was not attempting to injure her, but instead he was attempting to get her to follow him.” Reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter posted $11,000 bail for Nic.

Bobby Brown: “Chris Brown Is A Baby” Compared To Me

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

Read more:

Bobby Brown recently did an interview with Street Disciplez Radio where he was bluntly asked about the comparisons made between him and Chris Brown by the media. Here’s what he had to say: “I never put my hands on Whitney or disrespected her in any manner. Chris Brown – just give that brother a break, because we don’t know what happened between them in that relationship. We don’t know what went on between them, too. I think Chris Brown is a talented artist. I think Chris Brown deserves a second chance, no matter what. Because he’s young and he’s talented. Rihanna is doing her thing, Rihanna moved on and people need to move on with what happened between their relationship. And, I think Chris Brown deserves a second chance. Compared to things I’ve been convicted of, Chris Brown is a baby. Chris Brown is a good brother and I wish him the best. We need an artist like him. Kids need an artist like him.” Bobby Brown Expecting His 6th Child Bobby Brown: I’m Grateful To Be Off Heroin, Cocaine & Crack Bobby Brown Denies Daughter Bobbi Kristina’s Cocaine Use [VIDEO]

Hugh Hefner-Crystal Harris Wedding: Uncoventional!

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris are not exactly your typical couple. Their June wedding will reflect their unorthodox nature accordingly. “The dress is not going to be white,” Harris says. “I love pink! So, the dress will be pink and Hef and I want the wedding to be a lot of different colors.” At least they’re on the same page , too. Plans are going smoothly! “It’s pretty great that we haven’t argued about anything yet,” the 24-year-old says. “Things that I feel strongly about, he’s okay with, and things that he feels strongly about, I’m okay with doing things his way, so it works out.” The Playboy founder, 84, is in charge of the cake (strawberry) and music. “Hef’s friend Ray Anthony, he has a band,” Harris says, “so we’re going to have a big band and then we’re going to have a deejay at the end of the evening.” Hefner’s brother Keith, 82, will serve as his best man, with Hefner’s two youngest sons, twins Marston and Cooper, 20, serving as groomsmen. Pretty cool. What won’t be involved? A prenup . Or Jordan McGraw , we’re guessing.

Matt Rutler Cleared in DUI Case

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

How nice, and rare, to see celebrity scandals end well for a change. Turns out Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matt Rutler was NOT too drunk to drive after all. Rutler got popped for DUI back in March, but citing insufficient evidence to prosecute, the L.A. District Attorney determined he won’t be charged with a crime. That’s because his blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06, or under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So why was he busted? Matt has even more to smile about now that he’s in the clear! Aguilera, a passenger in the car at the time, was busted for public drunkenness when officers determined she was too plowed to take care of herself . Matt Rutler was likely arrested on suspicion of DUI by association. Hours after the arrest, officials decided they would not pursue any charges against the singer. Now they’ve exonerated her man, as well. Good for them. Well, except for the whole downward spiral thing.
