Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Teairra Mari is living the life of full-blown struggle. The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star was arrested on Saturday morning for allegedly driving drunk—and the fact that her car only had 3 wheels was the initial giveaway. According to reports, Mari was pulled over after cops saw her coming out of the Midtown Tunnel into Queens in a red Dodge Charger, which allegedly sparks shooting from the front of the vehicle. What cause said sparks? One of the front wheels (the one on the right) was missing. Per the New York Post , Mari drove a mile through the Queens-Midtown tunnel after her right front tire dislodged. Bridge and tunnel cops actually gave chase as Mari’s car sparked through the tunnel. After coming to a stop, cops did a field sobriety test and it was only downhill from there. She reportedly blew 0.304 into the breathalyzer, which is 3 times the legal limit. Besides a DWI she was hit with a violation of court-ordered ignition interlock, illegal tinted windows, illegal operation of a vehicle, unlicensed operator of a motor vehicle, and more, per the cops. Mari has been publicly battling alcohol abuse issues .

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

Source: Getty / Getty The 2019 BET Awards weekend kicks off today, and it’s crazy to think that the show has been around for nearly 20 years! Remember the first show in 2001? Steve Harvey and Cedric The Entertainer hosted, and the big winners of the night were Destiny’s Child & Lil Bow Wow. Besides holidays, the BET Awards is the one time of year that Black Twitter comes together as a community to be entertained, talk fashion, and give good ol’ fashion Black folk commentary on literally every single thing about the show. black twitter it’s that time of year again.. bet awards on sunday. — YT: SIMPLY HALLE (@officialhalle_) June 21, 2019 Remember back in the day when you would meet up with your friends at someone’s house (who had cable) so you can watch the show together? Now either you can stream it on your phone and laptop, on just watch vicariously through the folks on social media. Speaking of nostalgia, the fact the 2009 BET Awards was a whole decade ago is kinda wild. 2009 was a decade ago, that’s crazy — Wavy From a Baby (@Tayovelli) February 13, 2019 That was the year that Jamie Foxx hosted for the first time and Michael Jackson passed away just a few days before that. So the entire ceremony was a bit somber.

Source: Getty / Getty A lot has changed since that show. Let’s take a look back at how the red carpet was looking back in ’09.

Source: Charley Gallay / Getty There’s actually a scientific reason for the front camera fat face we all experience when flipping the camera to selfie mode. I'm not fat, it's the front camera . . . . . . . . . . . #selfietime #selfie #instaboy #boy … https://t.co/0UGj9o2Jt6 — Mash Box (@MashBoxVE) August 31, 2017 According to a new study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery , your nose gets distorted and appears around 30% bigger in selfies taken close to your face. Plastic surgeon Boris Paskhover told the Guardian , “If the camera point is closer to something that projects out, like your nose, it is going to make everything that is closer to that camera look bigger compared to the rest of the face.” *opens front camera* wtf.. my phone is possessed by a fat ugly monster — …ya (@xiaogunian) February 25, 2018 The site published an article entitled “Nasal Distortion in Short-Distance Photographs: The Selfie Effect,” in which a research team proved that a face-on portrait taken from 12 inches away makes the nose’s breadth appear about 30% larger than it really is. He added that that 60 inches “is actually a standard photographic distance — photographers take portraits at 5 feet. When I take pictures of patients, I take them at 5 feet.” But how does one actually take the perfect selfie without having to edit it all crazy after? According to an article in Allure, there are five easy tips to help you take a good selfie: Look up toward the camera. Extend your head away from your neck Instead of holding your phone in front of you, hold it to the side for a flawless angle. Relax your mouth, and exhale, blowing air through your lips. In your selfie-ready position, slowly spin until you find your best light. So the next time you criticize yourself over a selfie, realize that it’s not your fault. Blame the Iphone.

Source: Larry Busacca/PW / Getty Anytime Beyoncé releases a new song, you can expect the Beehive to go crazy. But this time, Beyoncé’s newest song has a different group of people going crazy and that’s fans of Disney’s classic movie Lion King . The international TV spot has dropped for the 2019 remake. The commercial featured a duet of Beyoncé and Donald Glover remaking Elton John’s ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight,’  which was featured in the original film that premiered in 1996. ‘Circle of Life’, ‘I Just Can’t Wait to Be King’, ‘Hakuna Matata’, and ‘Be Prepared’ are all songs in the original movie, that will be remade to be featured in the 2019 version of the film. New #TheLionKing international TV spot featuring Beyoncé and Donald Glover singing “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” pic.twitter.com/L5FzVyKcXD — BEYONCÉ LEGION (@BeyLegion) June 20, 2019 Director and Producer of the Lion King Jon Favreau that the experience of “not trying to create new songs but trying to build on what people remember and love about the old ones, has been really fun and formative.” Beyoncé will be the voice of Nala, while Donald Glover will serve as the voice for Simba, they will be under the tutelage of director Jon Favreau, who is best known for his work on The Avengers. Beyoncé and Donald Glover –also known as Childish Gambino — aren’t the only A list stars in this movie. Chiwetel Ejiofor will voice Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, and Alfre Woodard Sarabi. James Earl Jones makes a return as the voice of Simba, fittingly so. Elton John, Beyoncé, and Tim Rice will team up to create a song for the end credits of the film. The movie will be scored, or composed, by Hans Zimmer, he scored the original movie in 1994 but was hesitant to do the remake citing, “I have worked very hard to not ruin things through improvement.” Ultimately, he decided to do the remake because he felt as though it was his place to try a big experiment, and create a performance. The remake of The Lion King is set to premiere on July 19.

Desna Is A Stiletto Nails Kinda Girl, But Niecy Nash Prefers A Coffin Shape

Posted on June 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Original post:

Source: NBC / Getty Niecy Nash’s fierce character Desna might be a stiletto shape nail girl, but Niecy Nash, in her real life, is a coffin shape nail kinda girl. The Claws star hosted an intimate lunch for NYC media, where she opened up about how Desna’s nail shape correlates to her fiery personality and why she loves being pampered. “I’m a coffin girl in my real life,” she revealed. “But Desna is a stiletto. We all have a different nail shape on the show. Virgina is coffin. Polly is oval. Jen is square and Ann is more natural — a very short length. We all have a different nail on the show that speaks to our personalities. But in my real life, I’m much more of a coffin girl.” Niecy’s biggest co-stars are her nails, which means they require a lot of attention. To care for her natural nails, Niecy has been wearing custom press-ons during her press runs. “It puts a lot of wear and tear on your nails when you’re on a show like this. My natural nails, I’ve been wearing them a lot more often. For my press run I do my custom press-ons just to give them a break.” View this post on Instagram Too much fun in these streets! Swipe to see who’s nails I’m doing!! she motivational, fun & cute as a button… love you too Tracy! A post shared by Niecy Nash (@niecynash1) on May 29, 2019 at 2:47pm PDT And Niecy isn’t just pretending to know how to do nails on the show, she actually underwent nail tech training, but opts out of doing her own nails. “They put us through school and training to know how, but no,” she joked. “I like to be taken care of. I work so much and it’s not just the acting, it’s the care for the people even when you’re not on set.” With such a busy schedule, “to be able to have a beat to have someone take care of you, I sign up for it.” Claws airs every Sunday at 9pm on TNT.

Now, officials in the Dominican Republic are saying that the former MLB slugger was not the intended target.

Unclear why Fernandez was the target. We’re trying to gather information on who Fernandez is and what he does for a living. All we know so far is that cops say he’s buddies with Ortiz. In an update, the outlet adds that Victor Hugo Gómez ordered the hit on Fernandez because he believed the man snitched on him. — Photo: WENN
