Open Thread: Gang Members Hold Press Conference to Criticize Chicago Police

Posted on September 3, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

You read that right . Gang members in the most violent city in the nation criticized the police for being ineffective in combating…gang violence. At a news conference organized by self-identified gang members Thursday morning, several speakers complained that police and city officials do not respect them, and that the only way to curb violence is to provide jobs and improve their community. The men who spoke out Thursday morning blamed poverty, drugs and a lack of jobs for the problems in the streets. They also said that Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis’ meeting with so-called gang leaders was a waste of time. But when asked what could be done right now to stop the daily barrage of bullets on Chicago streets, they didn’t have an answer.  Could Chicago’s crime problem have anything to do with the fact that they consider taking policy advice from the same violent criminals responsible for that problem?

Stephanie Pratt’s Got Surprisingly Hot Legs

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I don’t post pictures of Stephanie Pratt very often, mostly because she came from the same womb as Heidi Montag’s douche soon to be ex-husband and can’t be trusted, but if she’s going to walk around wearing short shorts this small I may have to reconsider my rule. She’s actually pretty good looking, her body is awesome. I wouldn’t mind spending a Sunday afternoon with those long legs wrapped around my head. Call me.

REVIEW: Brilliant Kids Are All Right Brims with Grace, Smarts and Laughs

Posted on July 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right is such a low-key feat of filmmaking that the scope of its offhanded generosity — toward its characters, its story, its actors and its audience — may not hit you until days after you’ve seen it. The movie finds its greatness in the margins, in the way one character might fumble through a particularly astute yet painful observation, or the way another muses aloud about how much a sperm bank paid him for the very stuff of human life. This is a comedy about what might be considered an alternative family, if only its members didn’t suffer so acutely from the same doubts, temptations, insecurities and longings that people in nearly all families do. The Kids Are All Right is more universal than it is alternative, except in one sense: There’s nothing else on the contemporary movie landscape like it.

Astonishing Transformer Furniture (Video)

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Transformer furniture holds a lot of great promise: multi-function furnishings that really do multiple things well, thereby saving space and resources. But I’d wager that most of the designs we see do more to tingle the imagination than offer true practical utility. This questionable punching bag/love seat (from the same mind as the ping pong door ) is a good example. As Rain Noe at Core77 observes, “…much of … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Jake Pavelka: Possibly Not Into Girls

Posted on June 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Is Jake Pavelka gay? Personally, we don’t see it, but there are now two separate reports of this surfacing, and crazier things have turned out to be true. We’d rate this rumor as less believable than reports of Al Gore trying to sex up Molly Hagerty , but at the same time, we wouldn’t rule it out fully yet. Despite his nice public persona, The Bachelor star weaves a web of lies, according to Vienna Girardi … and Tanya Douglas, who dated Jake from 2008-09. “Jake did the same thing to me!” says Tanya, claiming Jake promised to marry her but never followed through on it. “He is a slippery, slimy con man.” Here’s where the gay rumors come in. As with Vienna, Tanya Douglas says Jake withheld physical affection from Tanya … after sleeping with her first. “He told me he had to abstain from sex for religious purposes until we were married,” she recalls. “It was weird, ’cause we had already been intimate!” Instead of cuddling Tanya, Jake “locked himself in the closet and pray in the dark,” she reveals. “I’m all for prayer, but in the closet?” In the closet … fitting . Douglas says that the big phony didn’t even go to church regularly and “used religion as an excuse when it was convenient for him.” Vienna can attest. The religious excuse was many he used for refusing sex with Vienna , or so she claims. Fellow Bachelor contestants think they know the real reason. “I think he has gay potential and definitely gay tendencies,” a Bachelorette contender, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said of the hunky pilot. Says Paul Rosseau of The Bachelorette: “He didn’t want to have sex with a beautiful girl and never really tried with the other girls … Nothing personal, Jake!” Richard Mathey from the same season said, “I’m not sure if he is gay, but it seems he has no experience with the types of women that are on the show.” Friends of Vienna’s also have conflicting theories about his sexuality. “Vienna told me, ‘I don’t think Jake is into girls,'” a friend of Vienna’s told Radar . Tell us what you think: Jake Pavelka is …

Israel stormed Gaza’s humanitarian aid ship – 10 dead people

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Israeli navy has stormed at least one of a convoy of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip, amid reports of casualties on board. Some reports say two people have been killed and about 30 injured. Israel has declined to comment. The exact location of the interception is unclear. Israel had warned the ships not to enter its territorial waters. The ships are carrying 10,000 tonnes of aid to the Gaza Strip in an effort to break an Israeli blockade. Turkish TV pictures taken on board the Turkish ship leading the flotilla show Israeli soldiers fighting to control passengers. The footage showed a number of people, apparently injured, lying on the ground. The sound of gunshots could be heard. It is not clear whether the fighting is ongoing. Al-Jazeera TV reported from the same ship that Israeli navy forces had fired and boarded the vessel, wounding the captain. The Al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, “Everybody shut up!”. “Provocation' The six-ship flotilla left international waters off the coast of Cyprus on Sunday and was expected to arrive in Gaza later on Monday. Israel has said it would stop the boats, calling the campaign a “provocation intended to delegitimise Israel”. added by: alexandrek

Holly Madison Nude in Playboy: Book It!

Posted on April 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

She hasn’t gotten naked in awhile, instead choosing to focus on giving props to Snooki and getting very close to Benji Madden . But she also hasn’t been photographed by the paparazzi in awhile, nor seen her post-Hugh Hefner boning stock rise to the levels of former housemate, Kendra Wilkinson. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Holly Madison says she’ll soon pose nude for Playboy . Again. “Maybe not right away because I was just on the cover last year,” Madison told E! News. “Maybe get a little bit of time in between, but I also don’t want to be one of those superold ladies who needs a ton of Photoshop, either.” In fact, Holly – whose new reality show, Holly’s World , debuts in June – says she has a major “pet peeve” when older women pose for Playboy because they want to prove how someone over 40 can be beautiful… yet the entire spread is clearly Photoshopped. “Sometimes the pictures don’t even look like photographs. It looks like it came from the same people who brought you Shrek ,” she joked. How does Madison maintain her figure? She says she eats “half junky and half healthy.” As for future career plans? The Las Vegas resident says: “I want to be mayor in, like, 10 years.” Just show us your boobs again and then we’ll talk about our vote, okay? [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

The Game Laments Lil Wayne’s Jail Time: ‘I Don’t Like It At All’

Posted on March 8, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Everybody makes mistakes,’ the Compton MC says of Weezy’s gun-possession charges. By Shaheem Reid The Game Photo: Peter Kramer/Getty Images After Lil Wayne’s sentencing Monday (March 8), his family, fans and friends are definitely bummed to see him go. “It’s f—ed up,” the Game said about his friend and “My Life” collaborator’s jail time. “I don’t like it all. I don’t have one good feeling about it. I’m happy Tip is coming out , but sad that Wayne and Gucci gotta go in . I don’t like to see that. I like for my n—as that co-exist with me in hip-hop to win. I don’t like to see [for example] Fab go to jail just as much as he don’t want to see Game to jail. That sh– is wack. “As n—as is approaching their 30s, the end of their 30s, and becoming hip-hop veterans and legends, we gotta become a little more wise,” Game continued. “Everybody makes mistakes. I’m pretty sure at this point, Wayne is kicking himself in the ass for the sh– he did. But n—as is fathers, n—as is growing. With age comes wisdom, man. We’ll learn and we’ll get it all together. As long as we stay together, we’ll be straight. This sh– is a brotherhood. Long as we got each other, we’ll be straight.” Game said he would love to see that solidarity among his peers come to light with everyone joining together to make a positive song with a message. “We’re a bunch of [guys] from the same country that came from the same struggle, we grew into the same dominance,” the Compton MC said. “Remember ‘Fight the Power’ and ‘Respect Yourself’? … We gotta get back to that. ‘All in the Same Gang’ — when n—as gonna do one of them? On some cool sh–. That’ll be cool. We gotta figure it out. But I don’t wanna be a part if it if the n—as I admire and whose music I listen to is in jail. When Wayne do his six months or eight months and Tip get all the way out and Gucci is out, [we artists] can we really do it. These are the n—as that do it in hip-hop right now.” Related Videos Lil Wayne’s ‘Road To Rikers’ Lil Wayne Goes To Jail Related Photos Lil Wayne Heads To Rikers Island Lil Wayne’s Battle With His Gun Possession Case Related Artists The Game Lil Wayne

Witness Confirms Possible Robsten Neck Nuzzling at Remember Me Premiere

Posted on March 3, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For the second time in a couple weeks, Robert Pattinson has seemingly confirmed his relationship with Kristen Stewart. First, he told a reporter at the BAFTA awards that he and his Twilight Saga star were ” together .” On Monday night, meanwhile, he was asked by Life & Style how he felt about his girlfriend being at the NYC premiere of Remember Me . Rob’s response? It’s nice. But… wait! There’s even more speculation! A witness told the tabloid that Robsten was in full PDA mode inside the theater. “As the lights went down Kristen clapped along with the crowd. She leaned over to Rob and nuzzled her head into his neck,” the source said. “He leaned his head into hers. They looked quietly affectionate and at ease with one another.” As seen here, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart arrived at the Remember Me premiere separately… but they left together! The onlooker added: “During various scenes in the movie, Rob gave Kristen a nudge shoulder to shoulder. It was a cute gesture… Throughout the movie, they each took sips from the same water bottle and they nuzzled into each other’s necks as they whispered and cuddled. It looked like they were kissing each other’s necks at different points in the movie – about six times.” Other reports have indicated the number of possible Pattinson and Stewart neck kisses was closer to four. We’re working the phones as we type this to find out for certain.
