Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino Land New Reality Dating Show on MTV

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The stars of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation are older and (marginally) wiser than they once were. But does that make them marriage material? Pauly D and Vinny think so — and so does MTV. They’re getting their own dating show. Are you ready for  Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny ? On Friday, MTV came out with a major announcement. Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio and Vinny Guadagnino are set to start on their very own dating show. 20 women will compete for the love of these two men, and it sounds … bonkers. It also sounds a little like The Bachelor , but with two leading men who don’t quite fit the usual mold for that role. Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny  is expected to premiere on MTV later this year. Whether you’re a huge Jersey Shore fan, a sucker for dating shows, or love the absurdity of reality television, this show is for you. Both of the excited new stars took to Instagram to celebrate the breaking news. “Excited to announce Me and my boyfriend @djpaulyd are getting our own crazy reality dating competition show!” Vinny gushed. Vinny predicted: “This is gonna be good …” For his part, Pauly D also shared the story and celebrated. “Oh Yeahhhhh,” he wrote excitedly on Instagram. “Dating Show Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!” That is the most Jersey Shore text-based celebration that we can imagine. And that, of course, is exactly what prospective viewers will be hoping to see. On Twitter, Pauly D had a little more to say. “A crazy dating competition show,” Pauly tweets. He then asks, rhetorically: “What could go wrong?” Worst case scenario for a show like this is usually people entering a relationship that slowly crumbles as time goes on. There’s nothing inherently wrong with reality television, but couples need to communicate authentically while getting to know each other. Will Pauly and Vinny’s lady loves get to know the real men on camera? No. They’ll meet the famous personas. Getting to know someone takes time. The “best case” scenario for  Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny  is … complicated. Because it isn’t necessarily that both dudes find women with whom to gym, tan, laundry for the rest of their lives. This isn’t The Bachelor where they can find new dudes for a second season. Vinny and Pauly’s names are right there in the show’s title. But then, the purpose of the show isn’t really to play matchmaker — it’s entertainment. The best ending for season 1 is renewal for season 2, right? That said, let’s take a look at that title a second time. The show is called  Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny. Though this show is emphatically about women competing to get with the stars, it doesn’t have to always be that. Over time, Vinny and Pauly could transition into new roles. They could act as hosts and, hilariously, as relationship counselors for other contestants. The series could transition from parallels to The Bachelor to parallels to Bachelor in Paradise . Notably, just last summer, Vinny and Pauly D addressed hte idea of the two of them one day being co-bachelors. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight , Pauly exclaimed “I’m down!” “That would be so dope,” he gushed. “I’d be down too,” Vinny agreed. “You never know. Make it happen!.” We wouldn’t care to speculate as to whether the idea for this series came before, or after they fielded that question.

DMX: Released From Prison After One Year Behind Bars!

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Stop, drop, pick up your belongings and show these papers to the officer at the front gate. Yes folks, it’s been almost one full year since DMX reported to prison to begin serving time on tax evasion charges. (You may recall that he memorably played one of his songs for the sentencing judge before being sent upstate.) And today, the canine rapper is once again a free man. Yes, X was released from prison today after serving 10 months of a one year sentence. (He was denied bail prior to his sentence, and thus, spent most of the past year behind bars.) The rapper was convicted of failing to pay taxes on $2.3 million in earnings. It may seem foolish to try and bilk Uncle Sam when you’ve been raking in seven figures for decades, but it’s important to remember that DMX has 15 kids to support . And in this case, the time inside may have been a blessing in disguise. DMX suffered an overdose that nearly claimed his life in 2016. The rapper says despite the obvious risk to his health, he continued using in the wake of his brush with death. He told the judge in his case that his decision to commit tax fraud was the result of his substance abuse. “I was in a cloud. I was in a cloud. I wasn’t thinking straight,” an emotional X (real name Earl Simmons) said in court. So what does the 48 father of 15 (?!?!?!) plan to do now that he’s a free man? Well, it seems Simmons’ first order of business is court-ordered outpatient addiction counseling. Beyond that, he says he’d like to release another album and take a second shot at reality TV stardom. Specifically, he says he wants to make a second appearance on Iyanla Vanzant’s Fix My Life . X famously stormed off set and told the life coach to “shut the f-ck” up during his first appearance on the show. But these days, Simmons says he’s a changed man and would like the opportunity to prove he’s open to taking advice. Hey, we’re all about comeback stories. And when it comes to second chance, X, we’re gon give it to ya.

Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet: 90 Day Fiance Couple Welcomes First Child!!!

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Our heads are still spinning from Season 6, and 90 Day Fiance has been renewed for its seventh season . But if you remember Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet from Seasn 5, we have some exciting news. The couple has welcomed their first child! In a statement to E! News , Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet announced the happy news. “We are so blessed to finally meet our baby girl, Eleanor Louise!” the statement begins. The couple continues with the specifics: “We welcomed her on January 23rd at 6:13 a.m.” So precious baby Eleanor was born on Wednesday morning. Then, of course, comes the stats. The statement reveals that Eleanor was born “weighing in at 6-lbs. 11-oz.” That may sound like a small weight if you come from a family of tall people, but that is well within the “average” range of baby weights. “This is such joyful and amazing moment for us,” the joyous statement continues. The couple gushes: “We have never felt this rewarded in our lives.” Awww! That is so sweet. “And,” the statement reads. “We are looking forward to our bright future as a family of three.” Little Eleanor is, as we mentioned, their first child. “Thank you so much to our fans,” the couple concludes. “For their continued support and love during our journey.” Elizabeth and Andrei appeared on 90 Day Fiance ‘s fifth season. As you may recall, Elizabeth had met Andrei while abroad. Still, her family had concerns. Andrei is Moldovan, as referenced in Elizabeth’s hilarious shirt above. She herself acknowledged that he had certain archaic views of gender roles within marriage. He came from a culture in which he expected to make the decisions. Her loved ones didn’t love hearing that. But it all worked out. Elizabeth and Andrei just celebrated their “meetaversary” on January 15. “3 years ago today this wonderful man and I met in Dublin for the first time,” Elizabeth wrote on Instagram. “Then,” she continued. “The rest was history……” It certianly was. Three years after first laying eyes upon each other, these two are married parents. That’s quite a glow up! 90 Day Fiance is an extremely popular reality series that regularly dominates its timeslot. Casting is perhaps the biggest key to the show’s success, and there’s more to it than simply finding the worst couples on the planet. For every Colt and Larissa, you need a couple with a few relationship hiccups — a couple for whom fans can really, truly root. Elizabeth and Andrei didn’t have irreconcilable difference, just differences. Congratulations are in order on the birth of their first child. We wish them the best and hope that Elizabeth experiences a speedy recovery from childbirth. Welcome to the world, Eleanor Louise Castravet!

Kim Porter: Cause of Death Revealed

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Just over two months since her shocking death, we now know why Kim Porter passed away . The model, actress and ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs died of lobar pneumonia, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner announced on Friday. The manner of death has been certified as natural. Porter shared three children with the music mogual and remained a very close part of his life, long after the pair split up as a couple. Porter had only just wished Diddy as happy birthday days before she suddenly died. For those wondering, meanwhile… “Lobar pneumonia (pneumonia) is an infection of the lung caused by bacteria,” the official report reads, explaining further: “Immune cells invade the air spaces (where oxygen is taken in), and this is accompanied with necrosis (death of cells). Pneumonia decreases the lungs ability to take in oxygen, and over time it can cause sudden death.” According to this same report, Porter went to the doctor days before she died with “cold/flu-like symptoms.” A nurse also visited her home and gave her “saline solution with vitamins.” An autopsy was completed on Porter a day after she was found dead in her home on November 15. However, her death certificate previously stated her cause of death as “deferred” and the manner of death as “pending investigation.” The toxicology report says there were no narcotic drugs or alcohol in her system. She was 47 years old. Porter was buried in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia on November 24. In audio made public from Diddy’s moving eulogy , the rapper opened up about his relationship with Porter and vowed to keep her memory alive forever. “I just want to say to my kids, Justin, Christian, D’Lila, Jessie, Chance and the other man in the house, Quincy: Your mother instilled in me this, and I pledge in front of everybody right now that I will always be there for you,” he said, adding: I will always take care of you. Diddy and Porter broke up for good way back in 2007. But they remained on such close terms over the years that they never even agreed to a formal custody arrangement. They were vital parts of each other’s lives up until the day Kim died. Quipped Diddy in his eulogy: “To the girls especially, we about to enter some different type of times. I want you to be able to talk to me about everything, and I mean everything, and I mean everything.” He continued later on: “Kim, we gonna miss you so much. But I ain’t gonna miss you too much because I’m not gonna let your voice inside of me stop talking. “I know you like to talk to me a lot once you get on those rants, and I just want you to know I’m gonna be listening.” And he concluded: “As time went on, our relationship took so many different changes, from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being lovers to being best friends to being just straight-up homies, like somebody that you know you can count on. “We just love y’all, we appreciate y’all, appreciate the family. To all the words that I’m forgetting, to anything I’m forgetting to say, we love you, Kim.”

Caleb Williams: Did Jana Duggar’s Alleged Ex Impregnate Rape Victim?

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This latest Duggar sex scandal may not be gaining as much traction as the Josh Duggar child molestation allegations , but with each new revelation, those who follow the family closely experience a new wave of shock and disgust. Longtime family friend Caleb Williams has been accused of sexual assault of a minor. Now, according to a bombshell new report from Radar Online, Williams impregnated his victim while she was still in her teens. The site has obtained court documents pertaining to Williams’ November arrest, as well as the victim’s order of protection filing. The papers reveal that the victims’ mother testified in court and leveled a shocking allegation against Williams. According to the unidentified mother, Williams repeatedly had sex with his alleged victim when she was between the ages of 14 and 16 — and at one point, he got her pregnant. The mother says her daughter “was feeling terrible for 2 weeks and we ended up taking her into the ER in Lincoln to make sure it wasn’t her gall bladder.” When they finally went to the hospital both mother and daughter were met with shocking news: “Come to find out [the victim] was pregnant,” the mother said in court. “She told me she had been having sex with Caleb since she was 14 and he was 21,”  The sexual relations allegedly continued until such time as Williams was 23 and the victim was 16. The victim’s mother claims that Williams used “very persuasive ways” in convincing her daughter to have sex with him. Court documents indicate that Williams told police the sex “was consensual” and that he “disappeared to Arkansas” following his November arrest. Though not a member of the Duggar clan, Caleb has maintained close ties to the family for many years. At one point, it was rumored that Williams was courting Jana Duggar , Jim Bob and Michelle’s oldest daughter. It now appears that either was not the case, or the courtship was extremely short-lived. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Duggar Family: Secrets of Their Twisted Ministry Revealed

Kevin Barnett, Comedian and Rel Co-Creator, Dies at 32

Posted on January 22, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kevin Barnett, a highly successful stand-up comedian who recently helped create the sitcom Rel, was found dead during a vacation last week in Mexico. He was 32 years old. The cause of Barnett’s death remains unknown at this time, but the tragic piece of news was confirmed via a Tweet from the official account of the Last Podcast Network, on which Barnett co-hosted the weekly series Roundtable of Gentlemen. “Dear Last Podcast family,” opens this sad message, which expounds with the awful details as follows: It’s with a heavy heart we inform you of the passing of Kevin Barnett. The joy he brought to our lives is the greatest gift we have ever received. Remind your friends you love them because you never know when you’ll see them again. We love you KB. We’ll share more details about what happened as they come in. Over the weekend, however, Barnett shared his last-ever social media post: a photo of himself on a sidewalk in Mexico, along with a caption that read: “In mexico. Bought myself a sweater. Been accused of appropriation several times. In my head I just gave a lady some money so I ain’t cold. Either way. Swag heavy. Mixtape comin.” Barnett wrote and contributed to a multitute of television shows and films, including Broad City, The Carmichael Show and The Heartbreak Kid. The sitcom Rel, which he co-created, premiered just a few months ago in September; it stars Get Out actor and comedian Lil Rel Howery and Sinbad. Barnett also had a few movies in the works as well, including one called The Wrong Missy with David Spade. “Our hearts are broken, as are those of everyone at Rel, at the news of Kevin Barnett’s passing. He was an incredibly funny, wildly talented man who had so much more to do and so many more stories to tell,” a rep for Twentieth Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said in a statement. It concluded: “We send our thoughts and prayers to his friends and family during this difficult time.” Comedy Central also paid tribute to Barnett after the awful news broke, writing: “Kevin Barnett was an incredible comedian and writer, contributing to Broad City, the stand-up community and beyond. He’ll be greatly missed.” Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Chelsea Peretti, meanwhile, Tweeted, “i am so sad.” And Crashing‘s Jamie A. Lee added on Instagram: “A shocking, horrible loss. Kevin Barnett was a brilliant comedian and a great guy. RIP @fatboybarnett. This is so awful.” “I’m at a loss for words hearing about Kevin Barnett… We went to college together and both moved out to LA to pursue the dream,” actor and comedian King Bach wrote on Twitter, concluding: “Rest in paradise brother.” Then there was The Simpsons and Parks and Recreation producer Mike Scully, who worked on The Carmichael Show and said of Barnett: “Kevin Barnett was a great standup, but I knew him as a smart, funny, talented TV writer and just a really sweet guy who made the insanity of the late nights more fun. “Condolences to his family and friends. Can’t believe I’m writing this.” We concur. This is what Pete Davidson wrote of the tragedy: “The world lost a great one today. One of our comedy family members Kevin Barnett has tragically passed. I love Kevin. I’ve known him for nearly 10 years and he’s always been the sweetest and funniest. “Always had a smile on his face. Was one of the few that treated me like a comic even when I was just 16 years old. He always made me feel part of the group.” May Kevin Barnett rest in peace.
