‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Pretty Ricky Still Can’t Get Right

Posted on January 31, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read the original here:

Source: Apega/WENN / WENN Veronica Vega is back on tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Miami . She’s determined to take control of her career after chatting with Polow Da Don. She’s tired of people having the wrong idea about her and wants to move past the controversy of “Pay Me,” the drama with Amara La Negra, etc. Luckily for her, Trick Daddy has taken a liking to her (not like that)  and wants to help. He set her up with an interview with Nore’s podcast, Drink Champs . Later on in the episode, she goes on the show and actually does well despite the fact that they pulled no punches with their line of questioning. Good for her. Bobby Lytes meets with his mom for advice. He wants to know if he should sign with Trina or go with Clear Vision Group. There are pros and cons for both. Trina said she wants to wait on having him sign paperwork and first sees how he does with putting out a single. Clear Vision group is ready to go full speed ahead. His mother says to go with Trina since she’s family and has more experience. Bobby Lytes has some thinking to do. Later on, he decides to sign with Clear Vision. We already knew he’d make the more controversial decision. Trina didn’t even know that deal was on the table. She definitely won’t be happy. Miami Tip had a meeting with Jullian and Amara La Negra and decided to be messy and bring Jessie Woo along. You already know Jessie didn’t hold back about how she thinks Jullian was feeding her ideas to Amara La Negra. Eventually, this ends in drama (of course). Jessie said she heard Amara was going around saying she was going to beat her arse then says that Amara’s mother, cousins and everyone can get it. We all know Amara doesn’t play about her mother so she pretends she’s actually going to pop off on Jessie but that tight Love and Hip-Hop Miami security swoops in and handles that. Then Amara acts all disappointed in herself, talking about how she doesn’t want to stoop to Jessie’s level, but she’s tired of people coming for her. Jullian talks her off the ledge and reminds her of her success and all the good things coming up. Baby Blue reached out to his father, Big Blue, to come back into the mix and whip Pretty Ricky back into shape. That sounds good in theory, but in practice, Big Blue isn’t even on good terms with the rest of Pretty Ricky, including his other son, Spectacular. As a matter of fact, Spectacular didn’t even invite him to his wedding. It’s also important to note that Spectacular didn’t even ask Baby Blue to be his best man. Basically, the rest of the group feels like Big Blue did not manage their money well. So let’s fast forward to the end of the episode. It’s the big chat with Big Blue and the rest of Pretty Ricky. Slick ‘Em start going in on Big Blue about finances first. Slick ‘Em said he’s still financially messed up from the group and doesn’t even have a bank account. Big Blue refuses to take responsibility for that. Then Spectacular chimes in and says that Pretty Ricky never got paid for all the touring they did. Then Big Blue tries to flip it on him and says that Spectacular has been making money off Pretty Ricky’s social media and shouldn’t talk. This is a mess. Spectacular starts yelling at his pops because he wishes he would just take responsibility for their financial ruin but Big Blue doesn’t like the way Spectacular is talking so now he and Spec go at it. These brothers legit threaten to beat each other up and that’s where the episode ends. We know security won’t let this go down but it’s high time for them to get a therapist. Where’s Dr. Jeff Gardere when we need him. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Shay Pops Off On Jojo For Breaking Girl Code ‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Trina Mediates A Peace Talk Between Joy And Shay

George Clooney: When Is The Last Time He Has Seen His Kids Amid Marriage Drama?!

Posted on January 30, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

George Clooney has not been spotted publicly with his twins in almost 200 days, according to Radar .  While divorce rumors are all the buzz for the actor-lawyer duo , we notice that only Amal Clooney has been recently photographed with adorable Alexander and Ella.  An insider spills that “George and Amal have been arguing over their varying lifestyles.” You know, the one where the mom does all the work and the dad gets to travel for ‘work’ with his buddies.  While it’s hard to really know what’s going on in the very private Clooney household, there are some alarming signs that the two have had enough.  The couple – who wed on September 14, has not been photographed together since August 11.  Forgetting their fourth wedding anniversary and depriving us of their beautiful faces.  Amal even skipped out on George’s annual Halloween party for his Casamigos tequila in Las Vegas last year.  But, Amal has way more important things on her to-do list! Like attending the United Nations General Assembly or something like that.  “She’s all business, he’s all play,” says the insider. “They’re like oil and water. They don’t mix.”  While Amal would be home in New York working AND taking care of the kids, George would be partying it up in L.A with his friends. Let’s take a moment here to notice the transformation women have made since the ’50s stay-at-home’ mom type.   Not only is Amal a great mother, but she’s also a badass lawyer fighting for human rights – and does it all in style.  As much as I want George and Amal to mend their relationship (for the kids’ sake — and come on, who doesn’t like these two together?), we all know Amal will be just fine on her own if the situation calls for it.  And it sounds like that is a real possibility.  According to close insiders, the spouses have been living separate lives for a while now. Amal even “fled from the couple’s marital home in England and set herself up in a new hideaway on the idyllic Italian island of Sardinia with the 20-month-old twins,” Radar reports.  Not a bad runaway, I must admit.  While Amal is focusing on her children and staying out of the spotlight, George has been hanging out a lot with business partner Rande Gerber.  “George likes to be the life of the party. It helps take his mind off his troubles,” says the source. While the star may be a “no-show” dad lately, we don’t doubt his love for his two children.  When he became a first-time father he was 56-years-old. And he couldn’t stop expressing his love for Alexander and Ella.   “They’re born with personalities,” George shared. “Ella is very elegant and dainty and she has these big beautiful eyes; she looks like Amal.” And as for Alexander – “He’s just a thug, he’s a fat little boy, he laughs louder than everyone in the room; it’s the funniest thing.” And if there is a divorce, it’s no surprise that George intends to always be a part of his children’s lives.  “He knows the best lawyers in L.A. and he could arm himself with quite the legal team to keep his $520 million fortune and the twins,” says an insider from Radar .  Let’s just hope it doesn’t get that messy.  He knows who he would be going up against, right? Please, let’s all cross our fingers for the Clooney’s and hope they continue to grace our feed for years to come!   View Slideshow: Amal Clooney Speaks Against ISIS, Magazine Can’t Get Over Her Baby Bump

Charlie Sheen: Broke and Nearly Homeless?

Posted on January 30, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hard to believe it’s been almost 8 years since the infamous Charlie Sheen meltdown . The erratic behavior that cost Sheen his lucrative gig on Two and a Half Men is usually remembered with a laugh these days — not unlike Britney Spears’ 2007 breakdown. But in both cases, those who were quick to laugh at the stars’ erratic behavior often ignored the deep-seated pain that motivated it. Yes, it was funny when Sheen called himself a warlock from Mars, but all that bravado was masking some profound inner turmoil. For one thing , Sheen had been diagnosed as HIV positive  but had not yet gone public with his medical issues with the public. By his own admission, Sheen used alcohol and drugs to try and quell the anxiety caused by his life-threatening condition. None of this is to excuse the behavior he exhibited during his meltdown, but it may help us to understand why TV’s highest paid actor would throw it all away — and how he came to arrive in his current, lowly state. After revealing he’d been diagnosed with HIV, Sheen was sued by several former romantic partners who claimed he’d endangered their lives by failing to disclose his condition. These days, Charlie says he’s up to his neck in lawsuits and unable to find work due to his condition. According to a new report from Radar Online, the situation has become so bad that Sheen is in danger of losing his home . In an attempt to alleviate his financial woes, Sheen recently filed a request to have his monthly child support payments to actress Denise Richards slashed in half. “Since June 2016, my income has changed significantly,” Charlie wrote in his appeal. “I have been unable to find steady work and have been blacklisted from many aspects of the entertainment industry. “All of this has resulted in a significant reduction in my earnings.” Amazingly, the court sided with Sheen and allowed him to reduce his payments. This, just a few years after the actor was pulling in a whopping $1.8 million an episode on TV’s highest-rated sitcom. We’re guessing the warlock from Mars isn’t using #Winning as his personal mantra anymore these days.

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott: Locked In "Blowout Fight" Over Financial Mess!

Posted on January 30, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Money can’t buy happiness. But, when it comes to Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott we might have an exception. On top of the couple losing all of their finances, their relationship is plummeting right along with it.  We learn from Radar that American Express Bank filed a ‘writ of execution order’ on January 4 asking the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office Department to take possession of $88,246.55 that Tori still owes. AmEx isn’t the only lender coming after the family, Spelling and McDermott are also being sued by City National Bank for allegedly failing to pay back a $400,000 loan. As a result, Radar reported that the troubling duo had a “blowout fight” in the wake of their financial mess. Spelling “screamed at Dean to get out of her life and not come back until he gets a job,” a source revealed. “She is sick and tired of their financial situations that they can’t climb out of.” The couples’ last big fight supposedly happened a week ago, just months after Radar shared “that the 45-year-old reality star kicked her hubby out of the house during the holidays. It’s easy to assume Spelling is dealing with some denial and shopping withdrawals, but meanwhile, her husband has resorted to extra measures to try and save their family financially. He is working in construction while also continuing to look for work as an actor. Tori, however, “thinks Dean is past his prime” and should be looking for other forms of work. But, cut him some slack! It’s not McDermott’s fault that Spelling grew up “rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams” and never knew anything else.  Like, how to pay a bill.  But after racking up seven figures of credit card debt, we can only hope that the couple will learn how to manage whatever money they do make it out within the future. While McDermott continues to job hunt, Spelling is desperately trying to sell her reboot of Beverly Hills 90210  and Deadline says its already in the works. The reboot is supposedly featuring a number of original cast members alongside Spelling, including Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Green. We hope the show makes a prosperous comeback! Mainly so Dean can stop doing construction.  The opportunity may also give the parents another chance to try and set a good example for their five young children. You know, on how NOT to be absolutely terrible with money management one day.  Money may not solve all problems. But, in this case, it definitely does.

Jon Gosselin: Hey, Kate… I May Marry Colleen Conrad!

Posted on December 13, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jon Gosselin is already a full-time father once again. As previously reported, he has won custody of son Collin and the 14-year old will move in with his father permanently some time in the next few weeks. But might Jon Gosselin also become a full-time husband once again? There is certainly a strong likelihood, the former reality star now admits. “I’ve been with Colleen for four years now,” Jon told journalists at WE tv’s Real Love: Relationship Reality TV’s Past, Present & Future panel on Tuesday in Beverly Hills. He’s referring here to Colleen Conrad, a fellow Pennsylvania resident with children of her own who saw something in Gosselin back in 2014 for some reason. “I’ve thought about [marroage], yeah – talked about it,” the father of eight added. “She’s driven. I’ve known Colleen my whole life. We grew up three blocks from each other. Her sister used to babysit me.” Jon, of course, was married to Kate Gosselin for 10 years. They got divorced in 2009, following multiple seasons of a TLC series that chronicled their seemingly unhappy marriage and their valiant attempt to raise a set of twins and a set of sextupluets. The ex-couple has been at each other’s throats basically every single day since, but the cantakerous relationship recently took a turn for the unexpected. Gosselin filed for custody of Collin and at least temporarily won his case when Kate simply no-showed a court hearing on December 4. “That’s her. I would always go to court, no matter what,” Gosselin said in response to his ex’s baffling decision. Jon has also been spending a great deal of time with daughter Hannah for over a year now, but he does not have legal custody of her. Not yet, at least. Kate is yet to speak publicly on her former husband returning prominently to the lives of her kids. She’s barely said anything about anything at all on social media, in fact. As for when Jon might propose to Colleen? “Just look at my Instagram,” he simply teases for now. “That’s how stories get out anyway, I guess. It’s so funny.” In November, Jon shared a picture of he and Colleen’s blended family, including two of his children: the aforementioned daughter Hannah and son Collin. Also featured in the photo were Conrad’s son Jesse and daughter Jordan. Those are her only two kids. Looking forward, Jon says he’s excited to welcome Collin home after he spent two years in a program for young ones with special needs. Into his home, of course, that is. “It was just easier for the transition,” Jon explains. “So it’d be easier for one parent to just transition him home, and he wanted to live with me, so it was easier to do it that way. Hannah lives with me full time.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Danielle Staub Goes HAM

Posted on December 13, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey was all about Danielle Staub’s bachelorette party, and while there were no tables being flipped, there was a lot of drama.  Now, you may be wondering why Danielle is having a bachelorette party, especially when we know that her marriage has already fizzled out.  But thanks to the power of reality TV, we’re getting to watch this trainwreck play out, and let’s just say we’re loving every minute of it.  Danielle wanted the best bachelorette party ever and even expected the likes of Margaret Josephs, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga to plan the whole bash out.  You may be scratching your head wondering why Margaret would take anything do with the event because Danielle has been treating her like something you would scrape off your shoe, but here we are.  “It needs to be perfect,” Danielle started with her list of diva-like demands. “I want only dairy- and gluten-free options. And the environment needs to be an expensive environment, but I also want really nice gifts.” We’re surprised she didn’t ask for a horse and carriage. Then again, the producers were probably scared Teresa got mad and flipped the carriage with Danielle in it.  We kid, mostly.  Margaret then made a rookie mistake by reminding Danielle of that time she had her registry at Hermes and Versace.  Shots fired.  Over to you, Danielle! “It’s just time to kick it into high f–king gear, that’s all. You guys need to be texting me in the morning saying, ‘Countdown!’ That wouldn’t suck. It’s about being here for me.” Melissa even likened herself, Teresa and Margaret to “bridesmaids/servants” and even that wasn’t enough to dial Danielle’s demands.  What she did next was raise holy hell by praising Melissa and Teresa for always being there when she needed them.  “My expectations were for you to check in and make sure that I’m doing okay,” Danielle said, clearly dragging Magaret right through the mud. “I’m getting married.” “It was a really lonely day when I had my fitting and my alterations,” Danielle said, but Margaret was having absolutely none of it.  “We went to get your dress with you!” she barked back.  “Oh, no, I got a different gown altogether,” Danielle complained as she geared up for a shouting match.  “WHY NOT CALL ME? WHY NOT BREAK THE SILENCE AND CALL THE BRIDE?” “I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU WENT FOR YOUR F–KING ALTERATIONS!” Margaret shouted back at her former friend.  “I want people to pay attention to me!” Danielle complained. “When do I get to feel like the bride, instead of feeling like I’m attacked and gnawed at like a dog with a f–king bone?!” Oh yeah, Danielle wants the whole show to be about her. Did she forget that she’s only billed as a friend of the housewives? “The way you just spoke to me is disgusting,” said Margaret as she got ready for round forty-six.  But Danielle was not ready to back down.  “So I shouldn’t register as a bride?”  That’s when Margaret flipped the hell out, but thankfully no tables were harmed.  “NO, YOU SHOULDN’T! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD F–KING DO? YOU SHOULD SAY, ‘NO GIFTS. IN LIEU OF GIFTS, DONATE TO CHARITY.’ BECAUSE YOU HAVE A F–KING HOUSE FULL OF SHIT AND IT’S YOUR SECOND WEDDING. YOU’RE A F–KING BRIDEZILLA, AND YOU’RE BEING AN ASSHOLE.” That was enough to stop Danielle’s power trip, and she apologized to Margaret. Seriously though, what the eff is Danielle all about? The party went relatively well, but Melissa worried that her friend was gearing up for marriage for all the wrong reasons.  “How are you feeling about everything?” she said to Danielle. “I’m a little nervous because it’s not even here in Jersey,” Danielle responded. “We’re going someplace. What if my gowns don’t make it? What if people don’t make it?” Danielle got the wrong end of the stick, and Melissa confirmed what she meant.  “Just like any other relationship, there’s peaks and valleys,” Danielle replied. “And when you come together at our age, there’s gonna be a lot of peaks and valleys.” Yeah, it certainly seems like there was trouble before the couple even got married.  What are your thoughts on all of this?
