Amy Schumer Vows to Keep Blowing Her Husband

Posted on February 28, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Amy Schumer took fans by extreme surprise this month when she went out and got married to Chris Fischer . The comedian and the celebrity chef got married on a random Tuesday afternoon in Malibu, expressing their perpetual love for each other in front of family members and friends. Now, two weeks after shocking the entertainment world with her wedding, Schumer has provided a few more details about her big day… … one of which does NOT come as a surprise. “Part of the thing that's good about us getting married so quickly is that we're so in love,” Schumer said on SiriusXM’s You Up With Nikki Glaser podcast, adding: “Every girl I know, if they get proposed to they're like, ‘Oh now? Now that I can't have kids!'” Schumer also explained how she penned her vows in 20 minutes and how she isn't very proud of what she said; although one thing she said fits the persona this occasionally NSFW comic has developed for herself. “In my vows I go, ‘I promise I’ll keep going down on you, even though everyone tells me I won’t,’” she joked, comparing her loving words to those of Fischer: “And his were like, heckling me too. He was like, ‘The other day I lost a tennis match and you called me a fucking loser.’ It was all like, awful shit.” There were some sweet words exchanged between the newlyweds, too, however. Schumer has shared a video filmed during the ceremony and reception, some of which includes Schumer and Fischer standing before their attendees and saying some pretty terrific things to one another. “People are wondering, 'Why the rush?' and it's because I truly cannot wait another second to be your wife. I love you,” Amy says down below, to which Fischer replied: “I love you, Amy. You bring happiness and joy to every part of my life. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you with every piece of my heart.” Excuse us while we go in a corner and melt from happiness, okay? As for how Schumer feels now that she's married? “It feels f-cking good! I'm a wife as hell,” she gushed on the aforementioned podcast. Watch the special wedding footage below:

Elsa May Be a Lesbian, Much to the Chagrin of These Parents

Posted on February 28, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Conceal don’t feel, don’t let them know/Well now they know/Let it go, let it go/Can’t hold it back anymore. When Queen Elsa sang these words in Frozen, she may have been belting out lyrics about her super scary ice powers… … or she may have been coming out of the closet as a lesbian. There are movie goers who believe the latter, and who have been pushing for Disney to give Elsa a girlfriend in the upcoming Frozen sequel. Might this actually happen? Writer and co-director Jennifer Lee has chimed in on these rumors, which has prompted quite the outcry on Twitter. Scroll down for the full story… 1. Is Elsa Actually Gay?!? Lee won’t say, but she’s aware of the chatter and told The Huffington Post the following: “Where we’re going with it, we have tons of conversations about it, and we’re really conscientious about these things. For me … Elsa’s every day telling me where she needs to go, and she’ll continue to tell us. I always write from character-out, and where Elsa is and what Elsa’s doing in her life, she’s telling me every day. We’ll see where we go.” 2. #GiveElsaAGirlfriend Long before Lee even made this comment, there was a viral movement to give Elsa a girlfriend in Frozen 2. This is one strong reason why. 3. Fire and Ice? See, some fans have a very clear idea of exactly how they want this same-sex hookup to go. 4. On the Other, Less Tolerant Hand… … some folks out there are simply NOT having this idea. They’ve made some pretty strong statements against it. 5. Well, on This Hand… … and on THAT hand. As you can see, the possibility of a lesbian Elsa has many parents very confused how to react. 6. Do It, Disney! Thankfully, many parents out there believe this move would serve as inspiration to many young people out there, those who are struggling with certain LGBT-related questions.

Jeremy Calvert Slams Jenelle Evans & David Eason: They Should Be Afraid to Leave the House!

Posted on February 26, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week, Teen Mom 2 fans rejoiced when David Eason was fired from the show for hurling homophobic slurs on social media. Even before he revealed himself to be the most abhorrent type of bigot, David was not exactly a fan favorite. And it seems viewers weren’t the only ones who were not totally enamored with Jenelle Evans’ controversial husband. In the days since David’s firing was made official, several stars of the Teen Mom franchise have openly condemned Eason and applauded MTV for cutting ties with him. The most vocal critic has been Leah Messer’s ex-husband Jeremy Calvert, who went full 8 Mile on David and Jenelle in an Instagram Live rant. “[Jenelle’s] apology is cracking me up … you can’t sit there and say you didn’t know what was going to happen when you tweeted that stuff about the gay community,” Jeremy said. “You say you don’t know how to use Twitter but, goddam it, you use it an awful lot for not knowing how to use it.” Calvert went on to say David should be living in fear these days: “If I were them I’d be scared to leave my f**king house or even show my face in public right now,” he told the camera. Jeremy even went so far as to encourage Jenelle’s previous baby daddy, Nathan Griffith, to fight for full custody of his son: “If Nathan don’t try to get his kid, I don’t know what to tell that dude,” Jeremy said. “I would have already been in court … even if I had to empty my savings account out, I’d go broke.” Jeremy went on to deliver a vicious finishing move, deriding Jenelle as “idiots”: “I know a lot of people in production who won’t go out to Jenelle’s house and put a camera in her face anymore,” Jeremy said. “I’ve had enough of MTV putting up with these two idiots.” He drove the nail into David’s coffin with a crack about his lack of employment: “David’s ass is in hot water, might lose that MTV money, might have to get a f**king job—uh oh,” Calvert said. As the only Teen Mom baby daddy with a job outside of the show, Jeremy is allowed to talk smack on this subject. As for Griffith, he’s also speaking out against his ex and her deeply problematic new husband: “I have my own beliefs and my own opinions but to segregated, belittle and to hate someone based on their opinions, lifestyle, region, race, and/or sexual orientation is wrong,” Nathan tweeted. “PERIOD! It’s 2018! As long as it doesn’t affect your life, then let it go. #lovemorehateless” It seems the moms and dads of the Teen Mom franchise are fully woke these days! And it sounds like they’re eager to leave the Easons in the past. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to remind yourself of just how troubling Jenelle and David’s behavior can be.

Lorde and Jack Antonoff: Dating?!

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been about six weeks since Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff broke up , and both parties have remained relatively mum on the cause of their split. Sure, they’ve made some vague remarks to the press, but we don’t really know what prompted to abruptly end their  Although we’re starting to get a rough idea of where it all went wrong… That’s Jack hanging out with singer and former Lena bestie Lorde. We’re not saying they’re definitely hooking up, but it’s worth noting that the amount of time Lorde’s been spending with Jack is inversely proportional to the amount of time she’s been spending with Lena. In other words, yeah, we basically are saying they’re hooking up. Jack and Lorde (real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor) claim that they’re just friends, but their recent behavior seems to tell a different story. For starters, the two of them spent the entirety of Grammy weekend together. Now granted, they’re frequent collaborators, so it made sense that they were seated next to each other at the ceremony. But partying with a friend of the opposite sex when you’re fresh from a high-profile breakup obviously sends a certain message. And onlookers say Jack and Lorde didn’t seem to mind that others were picking up on that message. But the clearest indication that Jack and Lorde are hooking up is that the two of them were recently spotted hanging out one-on-one in Auckland, in her native New Zealand. Antonoff played a show there with his band, but the fact that he decided to stay on in the farthest nether-regions of the planet just to spend a few more days with Lorde might speak volumes about their relationship. “There’s nothing going on between Ella and Jack,” one insider tells People magazine. “There’s not any type of romantic situation. They’re just friends — they really are just friends.” It sounds like the source here, really, really wants to believe there’s nothing romantic going on between Jack and Lorde. We wouldn’t be surprised if the insider went on to make a bunch of uncomfortable comments about Odell Beckham Jr . The source is Lena Dunham, is what we’re saying.

Tamar Braxton Opens Up on The View: WTH Happened with Vince?

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tamar Braxton kept it real this week on The View. The former talk show host and recording artist took the unusual step of serving as a guest panelist on the program, touching not only on her failed marriage in the process… … but doing it with her estranged husband sitting right along side her! As a quick refresher, Braxton and Vince Hebert called it quits in October after nine years as husband and wife. About two months later, rumors surfaced that Hebert has knocked up his mistress , something Braxton herself appeared to cite on Instagram when she said Hebert was “having a baby” with his “whore.” Pretty hard to misinterpret that, right? Except that Tamar said on The View that this wasn't the case. “In this situation, I absolutely have no reason to lie about my marriage for ratings,” she told her fellow hosts early on, adding: “I think that's disgusting and I would never sell my soul to the devil like that.” Well, okay. But what about that “a bun in the oven of some other woman,” as Joy Behar asked Vince himself. “Absolutely not,” he replied. “And all the other allegations are not true, I'm just not that kind of person. I love this lady with all my heart. I will never stop fighting with my family and make it great.” Then… what about everything Braxton wrote on social media (below)? What the heck was that about?!? “Let me just address the meltdown,” she replied, expounding as follows: “That was my fault that I put myself in a position where I opened up the floor for people to give their opinions on my marriage and I have to take responsibility for that. “I do air my dirty laundry, however I've never been that specific. I should have been specific enough to say this is what my so-called friends were saying.” If you're confused by all of this… you are not alone. Watch the video below to try and decipher what Tamar and Vince are saying:

Lamar Odom: Khloe Kardashian Will Be a Great Mom! I’m Not Bitter!

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's just a couple more months now until the latest Kardashian spawn is born … can you even stand it?! Khloe Kardashian is all set to give birth in April to what will surely be a super, super adorable baby, and we could not possibly be more excited about it. You know who probably could be a little more excited though? Lamar Odom. Like, it makes sense that he's not jumping for joy for his ex-wife and her pregnancy, obviously, and we wouldn't expect him to be, but still, if he's going to be weird about it, he doesn't have to talk about it. And yet … Lamar did an interview with Access, and the full thing will air on Monday, but in the meantime, we have this little sneak peek of the part where he talked about Khloe. When asked about the pregnancy, he said “To tell the truth it couldn't happen to a better person. I was really happy for her.” “I know if she could take care of a grown man for four years the way she took care of me,” he added, “I know she could take care of a baby.” One of the interviewers said that she thought Khloe was going to be a great mother, and Lamar was quick to agree, repeating that Khloe took care of him for years, so he'd know. He also said “That's going to be one spoiled ass baby.” Next he was asked about his happiest memories with Khloe, and he revealed that getting married was one of his best memories — that, and “us just trying to make a baby.” Aww, Lamar. Naturally that led to a segment of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that aired last year, the one where Khloe said that she “fake tried” to get pregnant with Lamar because she knew it would be a bad idea to bring a baby into that situation. “That was hurtful,” he said, “but I mean I was going through some things at the time so I didn't really take it too personal.” It's not that he says anything bad in this interview or anything — not like that shady little remark in his last interview, the one about all the NBA players Khloe's dated . But would it be too much to ask for him to stop talking about her altogether? It's awkward, it's sad, and it seems pretty clear that he's not into reliving it all, which is perfectly fair. Perhaps it's time for him to tell his people to shut down this kind of talk. It really doesn't do anyone any favors. Check out Lamar and feel all these feelings by watching the video below:

Nathan Griffith SLAMS David Eason for Homophobic Rant

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this week, David Eason launched into an unprompted homophobic rant on Twitter that horrified fans — and Teen Mom 2 fans are not easily shocked. MTV has ended their relationship with David Eason, which makes things even more awkward for the already controversial Jenelle Evans. Nathan Griffith is stepping up to the plate and condemning David Eason’s words. Just days ago, while arguing with fans on Twitter about his and Jenelle’s decidedly pro-gun response to the tragic shooting at a Florida high school on Valentine’s Day, David Eason got called out on his atrocious parenting. (And that’s putting it nicely — fans who’ve seen him in action wouldn’t trust him with a pot roast, let alone a child) David’s response was to pivot by attacking LGBT parents and children, tweeting: “Why don’t you go tell the homo and transgender parents to start teaching their kids better morals. Oh, I forgot, that’s supposed to be normal.” There’s nothing abnormal or immoral about LGBT parents, but David Eason says that he’s going to make sure that his kids steer clear of them. He tweeted: “I’m going to teach them not to associate with them or be that way…If you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” A disgusting sentiment and a deeply offensive analogy.  When David Eason was accused of homophobia, he decided to take a literal approach to the word’s etymology. “Homophobic? You really lost it now. I’m not scared [of] s–t, especially a homo.” That’s right, he decided to make it worse. (By the by, folks, “homo” in this context is a slur, but that’s hardly the worst part of his tweets) MTV pulled the plug, firing David Eason with six weeks of production remaining. Nathan Griffith sometimes feuds with Jenelle Evans , which really fits the Teen Mom 2 brand because they’re exes. And, in particular, he’s Jenelle’s ex. And now he’s speaking out against her current husband, David Eason. He started his series of three tweets with well wishes for everyone. “Please take care everyone! Especially, with the terrorist attacks in the east and the families suffering in Florida.” Every day is one nightmare after another, it seems. “God bless and remember that God is the only one that judges and loves all his children of all races, sex, personal orientation, and belief.” That seems like a direct reference to David Eason. He then goes on to admit that (quite frankly, like every man who’s ever been in Jenelle Evans’ orbit) he is far from perfect, writing: “I know there are some things that I have said out of pure ignorance on my part.” You know what — not that it’s an excuse — but everybody’s learning all of the time. “And if I have offended or hurt anyone out there, I am truly sorry and the door is always open to vent or even ask for advice.” That  Once could cynically suggest that perhaps Nathan is simply hoping to make sure that he never becomes unfilmable, but his message is a positive one. “I have my own beliefs and my own opinions but to segregated, belittle, and to hate someone based on their opinions, lifestyle, religion, race, and/or sexual orientation is wrong. PERIOD!” When he talks about segregation, he’s clearly talking about David Eason’s vow to teach his children to never associate with LGBT people. He then goes on to lament that people are still having to preach basic equality in 2018. “It’s 2018! As long as it doesn’t affect your life, then let it go. # lovem​orehateless” That’s a very positive message. Nathan Griffith does have a tendency to come across as the more reasonable of the two when he feuds with Jenelle. (Admittedly, that’s not super hard to do — we’re talking about the Carolina Hurricane here) We’re not going to endorse him for President any time soon, but it’s probably fair to say that Nathan said some good and fair things in these tweets. And he didn’t actually mention David Eason by name — though, obviously, anyone who saw them knew what brought on his statements.

Derick Dillard Under Fire For Atheist Sympathies: Has He Abandoned His Beliefs?

Posted on February 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been quite an interesting few months in the life of Derick Dillard. It all started, of course, when Derick got fired by TLC after harassing transgender teen and fellow network star Jazz Jennings in a bizarre Twitter tirade. Derick issued an explanation for his remarks that he probably thinks qualifies as an apology, but fans weren’t buying it, and most seemed happy to see him go. Earlier this week, Derick doubled down on his homophobia  by promoting a speaking engagement by a pastor who became famous for his support of the abhorrent practice of conversion therapy. It briefly seemed that Derick had taken an “in for a penny, in for a pound” approach to his own bigotry and decided that since he’d already been fired from TLC, the time was right to rebrand himself as a far-right firebrand. Today, however, something interesting occurred on Derick’s Twitter page. “I want to personally invite any LGBTQ person & anyone else who would like to come with my family and me to church next Sunday. See you there!” Derick tweeted. These days, it seems that Derick is supporting his family almost entirely through monetary donations from fans , so many were suspicious that the tweet was simply a publicity stunt or part of an effort to rebuild his image. But some expressed an interest in taking him up on the invitation. One woman identified herself as an atheist and asked if it was okay for her to attend services with Derick and his family. The former reality star astonished many Duggar fans when he responded, “Absolutely!” Some expressed outright shock that Derick would invite someone whose beliefs are so different from his own into his house of worship. The mini-controversy comes on the heels of reports that Derick’s wife, Jill Duggar, had turned her back on her beliefs  due to an Instagram post in which she revealed that she’s reading a book with sections addressed to those who are questioning their faith in God. In the end, however, it turned out there was really nothing to either scandal. Jill was simply offering support to those whose belief had wavered, while Derick is apparently hoping to convert some non-believers, which is actually one of the expressed duties of Independent Baptists. Oh, well. We’re sure a legitimate Derick scandal will pop up soon enough. In the meantime, watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Presidents Day Fashion Face-Off: Lincoln v. Washington!

Posted on February 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Happy Presidents Day 2018 from all of us at The Hollywood Gossip, as we come together to honor a couple of true American heroes. The truest of heroes, really. The truest of the true. And the Winner is? Abraham Lincoln Click Here To Vote for Abe George Washington Click Here To Vote for G-Dubs They were both A-plus chief executives, but which U.S. President do you love more, Abraham Lincoln or George Washington? That’s what we wanna know! View Poll » It’s time we determined who among these United States legends is worthy of being called the greatest of all time. OF ALL TIME! In a Fashion Face-Off for the ages, that is! Yes, we realize that styles popularized by Abraham Lincoln and George Washington haven’t been popular with the mainstream in ages. Like, ages . Industrial Revolution style. By the same token, when you’re a titan of history, you never go out of style, are we right?! If you got you a national monument, ’nuff said. Take the first President of the U.S., George Washington. He led a rebellion over Great Britain, then oversaw the birth of a new nation. Four score and seven years later, Abraham Lincoln valiantly preserved and paved the way for a more perfect union against long odds. Overcoming similarly huge obstacles, redefining what was possible and then fighting to preserve it, both patriots delivered for America. In their respective eras and now, giants among men. Ones who make all of our lives seem more than a tad mundane and pointless all of a sudden. Kind of sad if you stop and think about it. Anyway, comparing achievements and legacies by people in such rarefied air is impossible … but we can at least pick a fashion winner. Would you rather rock George’s 18th Century Colonial garb or Abe’s 19th Century Civil War-era attire? Talk about the toughest of calls. Make it. It’s your duty as an American.

Lionel Richie Really Hopes His Daughter Stops Doing Scott Disick

Posted on February 18, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lionel Richie is not in denial. He’s well aware of what’s going on between his teenage daughter and Scott Disick. But that doesn’t mean the legendary singer has to like it… or even truly accept it as legitimate. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph this weekend, the Grammy Award winner addressed the often-drunk elephant in the room, talking for the first time about Sofia Richie choosing to actually date Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy. Yes, choosing . Why would anyone choose to be with Scott Disick? It’s a question to which Lionel does not have an answer. “She’s 19,” he told the aforementioned publication, adding: “When you’re 19 you know everything. Is it going to be for life? I don’t know. “But for right now it’s just a phase and I’m going to stand real still in the corner, get me a good drink and not make too much noise.” That’s likely the smartest course of action. No one out there thinks Sofia will marry Scott or anything… so the relationship will likely fizzle out. It’s just taking longer to do so than we previously imagined it would. What looked like a fling at first has evolved (devolved?) into a full-blown, steady romance, as Richie posted the above photo of herself with Disick in Valentine’s Day. She went on to write that Disick gifted her with flowers for the occasion . Moreover, the C-Listers have taken trips to Mexico and Italy together. What the heck, right?!? There’s a 15-year age difference between Sofia and Scott and, in case we haven’t mentioned it yet, the latter is Scott Disick. He likes to drink more than he likes to hang out with his kids and he’s never come across as anything more than an attention-seeking lugnut. Added Lionel in his interview: “Now I know what my parents meant when I came through the door with my Afro and my girlfriend and said ‘Dad, I’m in love’ and [he] looked at me and said ‘Okay, we’re going to leave you alone for a minute and you’ll figure it out.’ “My daughter is getting me back for my Afro days!” This is one of those times where someone is clearly joking and yet… not. Asked what Disick is like as a person, Lionel had only nice things to say. He didn’t take any bait. “From what I met of him he’s a very nice guy,” the artist said. Asked why he’s with Lionel’s child, Disick allegedly recently praised her affection for hot sex . Sorry, Lionel. We should have warned you prior to posting a link to that story. Lionel Richie will soon co-host the new version of American Idol, which premieres on ABC on March 11. So you’ll be seeing a lot more of him over the coming weeks and months, just as he hopes to stop seeing Sofia and Scott together. “When you hang around the reality world, who knows what you are really doing?” Lionel concluded. “This is a well-oiled machine, the Kardashian machine. I don’t really know what to think. I told Sofia I will have no opinion. “I’ll continue to be my cheerful self and move on.” View Slideshow: The Good, The Bad, The Lord: 23 Times Scott Disick Owned Reality TV
