You Can’t Be Serious: Missouri VA Hospital Under Fire For Exposing 1,800 Veterans To Hepatitis And HIV

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A Missouri VA hospital is under fire because it may have exposed more than 1,800 veterans to life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Missouri VA Hospital Under Fire For Exposing 1,800 Veterans To HIV Via CNN reports: John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis has recently mailed letters to 1,812 veterans telling them they could contract hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) after visiting the medical center for dental work, said Rep. Russ Carnahan. Carnahan said Tuesday he is calling for a investigation into the issue and has sent a letter to President Obama about it. “This is absolutely unacceptable,” said Carnahan, a Democrat from Missouri. “No veteran who has served and risked their life for this great nation should have to worry about their personal safety when receiving much needed healthcare services from a Veterans Administration hospital.” The issue stems from a failure to clean dental instruments properly, the hospital told CNN affiliate KSDK. Dr. Gina Michael, the association chief of staff at the hospital, told the affiliate that some dental technicians broke protocol by handwashing tools before putting them in cleaning machines. The instruments were supposed to only be put in the cleaning machines, Michael said. The handwashing started in February 2009 and went on until March of this year, the hospital told KSDK. The hospital has set up a special clinic and education centers to help patients who may have been infected. However, Carnahan said he feels more should be done and those responsible should be disciplined. “I can only imagine the horror and anger our veterans must be feeling after receiving this letter,” Carnahan said. “They have every right to be angry. So am I.” This is not the first time this year a hospital has been in hot water for not following proper procedures. In June, Palomar Hospital in San Diego, California, has sent certified letters to 3,400 patients who underwent colonoscopy and other similar procedures, informing the patients that there may be a potential of infection from items used and reused in the procedures. Is this how our country treats its war veterans???!

NudeApocalypse: Sherri Shepherd’s Ex Denies Leaking Freaky Flicks Over Divorce Because She Never Sent Him Any!

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Would you really want to see Sherri Shepherd naked though?? Sherri Shepherd’s Ex Husband Denies Leaking Intimate Photos For A Price Via TMZ reports: Lamar Sally insists he’s NOT trying to hawk naked pics of his soon-to-be-ex Sherri Shepherd … but tells TMZ if he did have nude pics of her, they might not be getting divorced. Earlier this week a report came out that Sally had compromising pics of Shepherd and was willing to share them — for a price — but Sally tells TMZ that’s complete BS. In fact, he says … “If Sherri would have been more sexual with me and sent me things like nude pictures, we’d still be married.” Sources close to the ex-couple tell us Sally hasn’t heard a word from Shepherd since their surrogate gave birth last month to the baby boy they planned to raise together … back when they were happily married. We’re told the baby is living with Lamar in L.A. and Sherri’s never met him. We’re told Sally rejected a $150K settlement offer from Shepherd in their child custody dispute … because he crunched the numbers. That works out to $694/mo. over 18 years, and according to our sources … Sally thinks the court will order Sherri to pay more.. Sherri Shepherd is shaped like a desktop, nobody wants to see that!

A Lil Positivity: Cincinnati Bengals Re-Sign Previously Cut Defensive Tackle So He Can Pay For His 4-Year-Old’s Cancer Treatment

Posted on September 5, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Good job, Cincinnati! Bengals Re-Sign Cut Player To Provide Him With Check, Medical Insurance For Daughter’s Cancer Treatment Bengals Defensive Tackle Devon Still was cut over the weekend due to poor performance …but the team knew he was distracted due to his 4-year-old daughter recently developing pediatric cancer . The team made the admirable move of adding him to their practice roster to make sure he had access to a steady check and health insurance to cover his little girl’s treatment. Via DailyMail : A player cut from the Cincinnati Bengals at the weekend has been re-signed by the team so that he can pay for his four-year-old daughter’s cancer treatment. Defensive tackle Devon Still, 25, said he understood why he was dropped from the 53-man roster because, since learning in June that his daughter Leah has stage 4 pediatric cancer, he has struggled to concentrate on his game. ‘My whole world turned upside down,’ he told ABC News. But after failing to make the team on Saturday, the Bengals brought him on to the practice squad instead, which means he will still get paid and receive health insurance. ‘They could have washed their hands with me and said they didn’t care about what I was going through off the field,’ Still said. ‘It’s like a blessing in disguise for me.’ The move means that he will receive a weekly salary of $6,300, will have to travel less and get to spend more time with Leah, who is being treated in Philadelphia. The support from the Bengals – which includes allowing Still to miss Sunday’s game in Baltimore – comes after he was out of six games last season for injuries to his elbow and back. Speaking with Bengals.com, he explained: ‘They said if I keep working on my physical… and mentally prepared myself to focus on football then they can move me back up to the roster so I am not all the way out of the loop… ‘Just them sticking by me through this whole time, they understand exactly what I am going through. It is a blessing I am on this organization.’ On ABC, Michael Strahan called it a ‘classy, classy’ move by the team. The proud father, who is engaged, has also shaved his head in support of his daughter, who has lost her hair to her treatment. Isn’t that amazing? Judging by Still’s Instagram, little Leah has a bright and happy little spirit despite her illness. Hopefully she can pull through! Instagram

For The Stans: Beyonce Posts Behind The Scenes Footage From Her VMAs Performance And Pens A Letter To Blue Ivy ‘She’s My Biggest Muse’ [VIDEO]

Posted on September 5, 2014 by Benny Hollywood

  Beyonce just gave the BeyHive a present the day after her birthday… Beyonce’s Behind The Scenes Footage From The VMAs While Beyonce’s vacationing in Europe with Hubby Hov and baby Blue , Beyonce stans are rejoicing over newly released behind the scenes footage from her VMAs performance. In a YouTube video posted on her account, Baddie Bey is seen having a full dress rehearsal with her 50 dancers just ONCE before gracing MTV’s stage. She later prays to be filled with God’s love before and gets a very special congratulatory message from Blue Ivy who says; “Everybody said good job!” In addition to the footage, a letter penned by Beyonce has been released. The heartfelt note titled “Bey The Light” is from her CR Fashion Book spread and in it, she calls Blue her “muse.” Via CR Fashion Book:  “Bey the Light” Words Beyoncé Remixed by Forrest Gander It’s my daughter, she’s my biggest muse. There’s someone, we all find out soon, more important than ourselves to lose. I feel a deep bond with young children – all those photos in my dressing room – especially those who’ve been stricken, Children I’ve met across the years – they uplift me like pieces of moon, and guide me, whispering in my ear I’m turned to spirits, the emotions of others. And I feel her presence all the time though I never met my grandmother. I learned at a very young age, when I need to tap some extra strength, to put my persona, Sasha, on stage. Though we’re different as blue and red, I’m not afraid to draw from her in performance, rifts, even in bed. I saw a TV preacher when I was scared, at four or five, about bad dreams, who promised he’d say a prayer If I put my hand to the TV. That’s the first time I remember prayer, an electric current humming through me. You call me a singer, but I’m called to transform, to suck up the grief, anxiety, and loss of those who hear me into my song’s form. I’m a vessel for all that isn’t right, for break-ups and lies and double-cross. I sing into that vessel a healing light. To let go of pain that people can’t bear. I don’t do that myself, I call in the light. I summon God to take me there. Utopias, they don’t much interest me. I always mess things up a bit. It’s chaos, in part, that helps us see. But for my daughter I dream a day when no one roots for others to fail, when we all mean what we say. How precious, riiiiiiight??? What do YOU think about Beyonce’s VMA footage and letter to Blue Ivy???? Image via CR Fashion Book/PIERRE DEBUSSCHERE Continue reading →

Splitsville??? Justin Timberlake Spotted Loving Up On Brunette In The Club…And It’s NOT Wife Jessica Biel

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Mr. JT is pulling a Robin Thicke out in these streets… Justin Timberlake Spotted With Mystery Brunette In Paris Justin has been on tour for nearly half of his marriage to Jessica Biel, and the sometimes actress has been noticeably absent from majority of his tour stops despite the fact that she doesn’t do much work of note and the duo has no children. Naturally rumors have begun to swirl that their marriage has hit the rocks fresh out of their newlywed phase. Adding fuel to the fire, the singer was caught getting cozy with a mysterious brunette who was definitely NOT his wife after a concert in Paris the other night: Via ONTD : Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel married just shy of two years ago, on October 19, 2012. There have already been rumors about struggles and even divorce. According to International Business Times, Timberlake and Biel have been dealing with issues such as when to start a family, Justin’s tour schedule and being away from Jessica, and, yes, even cheating. That’s what makes this latest incident seem like it could be the last straw. According to Heat World, it all went down at 3 a.m. Friday, August 22 at the VIP Room Club in Paris. Justin was living it up drinking wine, downing one shot after another and getting extremely close with two brunettes. One in particular. And it wasn’t his wife. After finishing a concert at The Olympia Theatre around 1:30 a.m., Timberlake and his band decided to celebrate one of his female “entourage” friend’s birthday. Partying hard was evident as he even took to the mic to sing Happy Birthday. Other patrons who were there at the time informed Heat World that Timberlake began drinking at a private table, but, it wasn’t long before he made his way to the dance floor. It was at that time Timberlake started getting extremely friendly with a brunette and her friend. Timberlake was described as “hugging, whispering, and even putting his arm around one of the girls.” Unfortunately for Timberlake, as he was caught on camera in what seems to be a very intimate moment in conversation with the girl. Heat World was told, “He seemed to spend a lot of time talking to one girl. They were laughing and dancing together for around three hours. The other girl seemed to be her friend — they all left through the back door in two black vans, Justin in one and the girls in the other.” Just recently, a source told the Hollywood Gossip, “Justin and Jessica are battling over his long tour absences, his refusal to start a family, and his alleged liaisons with other women. Even though he says he hasn’t cheated on her, she is very suspicious and wants to know what she can use against him in court if it comes to that.” DAMN! Now photos can be misleading, so this could really be a quick moment of convo between Justin and an entourage member. Do you really think he caught a late-night Parisian trio tryst after his show…or is everything being blown out of proportion?? Peep more pics of the extramaritally coupled-up pair after the flip.

Justice? Half-Brothers Freed After 30 Years For Rape/Murder Of An 11-Year-Old Girl They Did Not Commit

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brothers Freed After 30 Years For Crime They Didn’t Commit Wow. We’re happy that these wrongfully accused brothers are finally free, but after 30 years?!?!?!?!? Via Telegraph UK: Two mentally impaired half-brothers were freed on Tuesday after serving three decades in a United States prison for the rape and murder of a child that they did not commit. A judge in Robeson County said that Henry Lee McCollum, 50, North Carolina state’s longest-serving death-row inmate, and Leon Brown, 46, were innocent of the 1983 rape and killing of 11-year-old Sabrina Buie after new DNA evidence came to light. Both are severely intellectually disabled and were teenagers at the time of their arrests in 1983. Following false confessions, McCollum was given a death sentence and Brown was serving life for the rape. “This case highlights in a most dramatic manner the importance of finding the truth,” said Ann Kirby, attorney for Brown. “Today, truth has prevailed, but it comes 30 years too late for Sabrina Buie and her family, and for Leon, Henry, and their families. “Their sadness, grief, and loss will remain with them forever.” North Carolina state law now requires homicide interrogations to be recorded or videotaped, but at the time the brothers were convicted such laws were not in effect. Hopefully the DNA results will lead North Carolina to the person who actually raped and murdered Sabrina Buie. SMH.

Feel free to let the door knob hit you in the azz on the way out Ferguson Cop Who Threatened To Kill Protesters Resigns Via HuffingtonPost A Missouri police officer who was caught on video raising his weapon and telling Ferguson protesters that he would kill them has resigned from the force. Lt. Ray Albers, 46, stepped down from the St. Ann police department on Thursday, the St. Louis Dispatch reported. The resignation comes just a little over a week after The Huffington Post and other outlets confirmed Albers’ identity in footage of the officer threatening civilians protesting the death of Michael Brown. “I will fucking kill you!” Albers shouts on video, his weapon pointed at unarmed protesters. When asked his name, Albers can be heard telling the protester: “Go fuck yourself.” Albers, who served in the military, was a 20-year veteran of the department. In an earlier interview with The Huffington Post, St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez said he was “highly angry and upset” at Albers’ choice of words, but defended the officer’s use of raising his weapon in the air. Good riddance. Image via YouTube
