Patton Oswalt and Meredith Salenger: Married!

Posted on November 5, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hope you’re prepared to get in a good cry this evening, because one is coming your way real fast. Patton Oswalt has married Meredith Salenger! Patton announced the news first, sharing that sincerely adorable photo above on Twitter of the happy couple along with his daughter, Alice. “What’d you guys do yesterday?” he asked. Ha ha, see, because it’s a chill caption for what was obviously a big event? Don’t worry though, because Meredith came through with some details. She shared the same photo on her Instagram account, and in her caption she wrote “True love. True happiness . Forever and Always. The Oswalts.” She revealed that the ceremony and the reception took place at Jim Henson Studios in L.A., and that “the uber talented and most geniunely marvelous woman” Martha Plimpton acted as the officiant. Martha Plimpton. Was the officiant. It already sounds like the best wedding ever, right?! As if this whole thing wasn’t sweet enough already, Meredith made sure to share several photos of her new stepdaughter — the daughter Patton had with his late wife, Michelel McNamara. In one she called her a “pretty girl,” and in a photo of Alice with Patton she simply wrote “My family.” Perhaps the sweetest of all though was a photo of Alice by herself — for that caption, she wrote “This little girl is MINE!!!!!!!!”, along with the hashtags “happiest auntie is now happiest MOM,” “I love Alice,” and “freckled face muppet.” Or wait, what actually could be sweeter than even that was the way people reacted to the whole wedding — with so much positivity! Patton and Meredith both received a whole, whole lot of hate when they announced their engagement back in July because people thought he’d moved on too quickly after his wife’s passing. Michelle McNamara died in April of 2016 , so there were just 15 months between her death and the proposal. It’s not really fair to judge him for moving on though, especially if we’ve never been in a similar situation. After getting all that backlash , Meredith wrote a sweet little note on Instagram, explaining that “Everyone has been so lovely to us… all of Patton’s family… ALL of Michelle’s siblings and friends and family… a few trolls have strong opinions.” “But I think for Patton, having met and found love after over a year of intense therapy and openly grieving and dealing with his pain… I am grateful to be the one who helps him climb out of the depths of grief and find some joy again.” “And most of all,” she added, “Alice is happy and feels loved. I have waited 47 years to find true love.” She also wrote that “Creating our family unit while honoring the brilliant gift Michelle has given me will be my life’s goal and happiness.” “I am deeply in love with both Patton and Alice and very much looking forward to a beautful happy life having adventures together.” Just from that, it seemed obvious that these two people deeply loved one another, and all this wedding loveliness?

Blac Chyna Extends Olive Branch to the Kardashians, Invites Them to Dream’s Birthday Party

Posted on November 3, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Blac Chyna may have had her fair share of beef with Rob Kardashian and the rest of his family, but it sounds like she’s ready to grow up and let bygones be bygones … at least, according to Radar Online.  “ She invited Rob and his mom and sisters to a party she is throwing for Dream ,” a tipster dished to the gossip site.  “She would love for all of them to come and celebrate Dream’s birthday together.” In all honesty, that’s hardly believable when you consider the sheer amount of drama that’s gone on between her and the family. Her relationship with Rob has been the subject of much media attention.  “Dream is the most important thing to both Rob and Chyna and if they could be nice for just one day that would be great,” the source continued. There’s been revenge porn, name-calling, and the whole family getting involved in the fiery feud. It was all a little exhausting to keep up with because every time it seemed like Chyna and Rob were done, they got back together.  Their relationship was not built on a solid foundation, and that’s part of the reason why it failed. They seemed far too enamored with the various opportunities afforded to them to make money because of their konnections.  Things came to a head when Rob thought it was okay to share explicit pictures of Chyna in the aftermath of yet another traumatic split for the couple. He immediately felt the ire of the internet and Chyna after it was classed as revenge porn.  Chyna aimed at the whole family just a few weeks ago when it emerged that she was suing the entire Kardashian Klan , claiming that they came up with an elaborate plan to urge E! Network to cancel Rob & Chyna.  That’s the show she once co-starred in with Rob. While the ratings were decent enough, Rob apparently refused to film for much of the show’s run, and it made things difficult for the editors to construct much of a narrative.  Chyna’s big argument is that the family felt the show was damaging its already watered down brand, and that’s why they made it their mission to sink the second season.  But, it remains to be seen whether the Kardashians will put their beef with the wannabe aside to allow everyone to be in the presence of Dream on her birthday.  While it’s not difficult to imagine there being some sort of shade throwing at the event, we’re inclined to believe that Dream will be showered with luxurious gifts from her wealthy family members.  Maybe that thought crossed Chyna’s mind when she decided to invite them. There’s also the possibility that it would mean the Keeping Up with the Kardashian cameras could be headed to the party, and Chyna would likely find a way to steal the limelight to create a big drama to make E! reconsider giving her another shot at reality TV fame.  What do you think about all of this?  Hit the comments below!

Corey Feldman Accuses THIS Actor of Molesting Him!

Posted on November 3, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For a long time now,  Corey Feldman has wanted to name names  of Hollywood's sexual predators. He's been outspoken about his own abuse, but has been reluctant to name the men who preyed upon him when he was a minor for a lot of understandable reasons. Well, now he's naming names. The video below shows a little context. Corey Feldman has spoken about the  sexual abuse that he and Corey Haim endured  as minors. Both were child actors — Corey Feldman, of course, was one of the stars of the classic children's film,  The Goonies . Like so many survivors of child sex abuse, both Coreys struggled as adults with what they had experienced and the enduring trauma. Though  Corey Haim ultimately died of natural causes , he reportedly had low levels of eight different drugs in his system. Many believed that it was drug use that contributed to Haim's vulnerability to the illness that claimed his life. It's not uncommon for survivors of childhood traumas to self-medicate as adults or even while they're still minors in order to cope with trauma. In the eyes of many fans, it was sex abuse that claimed Corey Haim's life. Corey Feldman has written about his experiences, about child sex abuse rings that he believes pervade Hollywood. But he's always been advised by lawyers and editors to not name names, because doing so could expose him to a lawsuit. Now, in the wake of  multiple accusations of rape against Harvey Weinstein , more and more alleged sexual predators are being exposed in Hollywood. Sexual harassment and sexual assault are, sadly, problems everywhere. From religious institutions to the military to businesses to schools to homes to … everywhere.  But, fortunately, more people are waking up to the realization that this is real and it has to change. Directors and actors have been names. And now  Kevin Spacey has been accused of molesting a 14-year-old , bringing a new voice to rumors that have followed him for decades. Is there finally enough momentum within Hollywood and public opinion for Corey Feldman to name his alleged abusers without fear or reprisal? Corey Feldman's bold new step, in naming this man, seems to be partially because of Dr. Oz. We cannot believe that the TV personality often characterized as a snake oil salesman who panders to gullible audiences with junk science and misleading factoids is using his platform for good. 2017 is  wild . In the clip that you'll see below, Corey Feldman and Dr. Oz sit down so that Corey can call the police and report to them the name of one of his abusers. Corey has long maintained that he told the police everything back in 1993, and that the recorder was turned off when he named names. (That sounds like a bonkers conspiracy theory, but we  have  heard of cases of police departments with unhealthily close ties to the entertainment industry …  Rose McGowan's sudden arrest warrant  comes to mind, actually) The man that Corey Feldman and Dr. Oz identify in the clip below is an actor named Jon Grissom. Grissom starred with Corey Feldman and Corey Haim in two different films. People believe that Jon Grissom is the “Ron Crimson” described in Corey's book. If so, that would mean that Grissom was hired in his 20s by Corey Feldman's father Dr. Oz has revealed that Jon Grissom ended up serving time in prison for child molestation back in 2003, and that Grissom has not registered as a sex offender since then and is therefore a fugitive from justice. Which is probably why Corey Feldman felt comfortable going on Dr. Oz to issue this accusation. Corey Feldman has previously named his former manager, Marty Weiss, without using a pseudonym. In 2012, Marty Weiss was sentenced for committing lewd acts on a child under the age of 14. Again, that made him a safer person to name. Anyone who has  not  been caught, however, could potentially sue Corey Feldman in order to silence him. Wealth and power can earn you a lot.

Kim Kardashian Does Selena Quintanilla Impression, Keeps Irritating the Internet

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We’re just gonna come right out and ask: What’s with the Kardashian sisters dressed up like dead singers this Halloween?!? Earlier this week, we posted a photo of Kourtney in a Michael Jackson costume , as she basically impersonated the iconic artist from a look he donned for the Academy Awards in 1991. The mother of three earned some backlash for the ensemble, partly because Jackson was African-American and Kardashian is not. And partly because many critics interpreted this as a mockery of Jackson’s memory. He was a real person, they argued. He died in a tragic way. Heck, he had children ! Why would Kourtney think it would be appropriate to turn the King of Pop into a Halloween prop? But Kim Kardashian heard it even more from social media users after she shared pictures of herself dressed as Aaliyah . In this case, again, Aaliyah was black and Kim is not. Moreover, Aaliyah had her life cut way short when she was killed in a plane crash at the age of 22, making it just strange for Kardashian to choose to imitate her for Halloween. Here’s a look at that outfit: Now, Kardashian has made a similar move. As you can see in the photo at the outset of this article, Kardashian continued her theme of dressed up like music legends yesterday by rocking a Selena Quintanilla costume. Wearing a copy of Selena’s well known sparkling purple bodysuit and styled with Selena’s signature brunette bangs, Kim channeled the late artist as she twirled around with a microphone in hand and shared her fake performance with the world on social media. “My fave Selena!” she wrote as a caption. Somehow, Kim wasn’t the only star to go out as Quintanilla. Demi Lovato did so as well: For those unaware, Quintanilla wore this outfit her last concert before being shot to death by the president of her fan club, Yolanda Saldívar, in 1995. So, once again, Kardashian has decided to use someone’s sad and premature death as the basis for her Halloween costume. And once again she’s getting dragged online for it. “I am disgusted,” wrote one critic on Twitter, while others agreed. They just found it really odd Kim would go this route (twice!), considering all the options she obviously had for Halloween. What do you think of Kardashian’s decision here? Is she honoring Selena’s memory? Is she insulting it? Was Selena actually her favorite artist? Or is she just saying that now to sound hip?

Amber Portwood: Pregnant with Second Child!

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

One of the most magical things about Teen Mom is the amount of gossip it generates — and, as you can imagine, pregnancy rumors make up a big, big part of all that gossip. At least once every month or so, we’ll hear whispers that one of the moms is expecting again. Sometimes the rumors turn out to be true — remember all the speculation about Jenelle Evans last year, all that talk before her pregnancy was confirmed in a police report? (Still one of the most incredible moments in TM history, by the way.) But unfortunately — or fortunately, depending on who we’re talking about — the pregnancies are usually just tabloid fodder. We thought that was the case with the latest round of pregnancy rumors surrounding Amber Portwood. After all, she’s been dating her new boyfriend, Andrew Glennon, for just three months. And that’s a generous estimate. Surely she wouldn’t be expecting a child with a man she’s just known since the summer, right? WRONG. It’s official, y’all: Amber is pregnant. For real. Feel free to take a few moments to gather yourself, to try to recover from the shock … Though Amber hasn’t commented on the matter herself, People did confirm the pregnancy, which is about as official as it gets. A report from The Ashley’s Reality Roundup offers up a few additional details — now we know that the pregnancy is the reason Amber didn’t show up for the big Teen Mom party in L.A. last month. “The official word told to everyone was that she didn’t come because she was sick,” a source revealed, “but basically everyone knew it was morning sickness.” “She’s been having a hard time so far, but Amber is totally thrilled about the pregnancy.” Look, we’re happy if Amber is happy, but there are quite a few reasons to not be thrilled about this pregnancy. One, another source told The Ashley that Teen Mom OG producers have known about this whole thing since Amber and Andrew’s vacation to Hawaii. That was mid-September, so if Amber was far enough along to know she was pregnant and to start telling people, that means she’d have to have conceived pretty much the second she and Andrew started dating . Is it really that hard to wait to have a baby with someone? Just at least until you’ve known them, say, six months? Two — and this one goes along with that first issue — there wasn’t a lot of downtime between Amber’s breakup with Matt Baier and the start of her relationship with Andrew. She broke up with Matt for good at the end of June, when they wrapped up filming their season of Marriage Boot Camp. That means that there’s a chance this could be Matt’s baby. Hey, we know his sperm is up to the task, right? Three, in case you forgot, Amber wasn’t all that great a mother the first time around. Sorry, but it’s true. It’s been a while, so you may have forgotten, but she was never that interested in parenting, to the point that she’d leave baby Leah crying in a crib without sheets, with nothing but a bottle of Kool-Aid for comfort. Child protective services were even called on her at one point, because she beat Gary in front of Leah. Though they were both immature and kind of awful in the beginning, Gary was able to step up and be the parent that Leah needs, while Amber continues to flake even on visitation. Will Andrew be able to step up like that? Which brings us to our fourth point — Andrew is a terrible person. Two of his ex-girlfriends have restraining orders against him that were filed after he allegedly stalked and threatened them. He’s not exactly prime baby daddy material. And finally, Amber has said in the not-so-distant past that she’d never have more children because of the medications she takes to maintain her mental health. She suffers from borderline personality disorder and she’s also bipolar, and she relies on her medication to keep her stable. She explained on an old Teen Mom episode that she needs to take those medications “for the rest of my life,” and “I can’t, I can’t get pregnant on this medication.” Well, she could technically get pregnant, but the meds “would mess up the fetus.” In addition to that, she said that it would also be a bad idea for her to get off her meds just to have a baby, because “If I do not have medication, I will not be normal. I would have crazy mood swings.” So … what happened with all that? Look, best wishes and all, but there’s no way this pregnancy is going to be nice and sweet and drama-free. There’s literally no way. At least we’ll able to see it all go down next month when Teen Mom OG returns ! View Slideshow: Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide!

90 Day Fiance: Did Darcey Silva & Jesse Meester Split?

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This isn't the first time that we've had to wonder if  Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester are still together . The couple comes from different continents and also different generations. This time, though, the two had a huge Instagram fight. That's about as public as a fight can get without being on pay-per-view. They've been a staple of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days . Fans are understandably concerned that they're splitting before the 90 days ever begin. In case you need a quick refresher: 90 Day Fiance is so named because US immigration policy permits someone engaged to a US citizen to enter the country in order to live with their fiance for as long as 90 days. After that period of time, however, the couple needs to marry … or go their separate ways. 90 Day Fiance follows couples as they undergo that process. In some cases, that means that they are meeting in person for the first time in months — or even for the first time at all. 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days is a spin-off series that finds couples before the 90-day clock starts ticking. Which means that they are not yet in the US as a couple. Darcey Silva is 42-year-old American. Jesse Meester is a 24-year-old Dutch hottie. Seriously, he's a fitness model. From judgmental friends and relatives who have issues with their age difference to the regular differences that two distinct individuals might have in their personalities, Darcey and Jesse have not been a sure thing. Fans and viewers have been on the edges of their seats. Will the couple make it? Well, just a couple of days ago, someone threw a wrench into this relationship. And that someone was Darcey Silva. She allegedly drunkenly attacked one of Jesse's fans on Instagram. Don't mix jealousy and booze, folks. (Frankly, there are real stories of Instagram models connecting with fans, so jealousy here might be toxic but it's kinda understandable) The two of them weren't secretive about how unhappy they were with each other. Darcey responded to a fan's innocuous comment with: “Maybe you guys got something special. If u want him then just ask him.” Jesse replied to that with: “Sorry for that! She knows she has a problem with alcohol and shouldn't do this. She knows she needs help and shouldn't randomly attack or accuse people when she drinks.” That's Jesse straight-up accusing Darcey of being an alcoholic. We're not saying that we have any evidence that he's wrong, but we are saying that this isn't healthy for a relationship. The spat ended up with deleted comments. This was only a few days ago — on October 29th. This was Sunday. Fast forward a couple of days, however, and the couple is singing a different tune. In the video that you'll see below, Darcey and Jesse make it clear that they're still together. They added this caption: “What you haven’t seen yet… Our love story! Thank you all for being a part of this. I love my girl with all my heart. We grow, we fight, we make mistakes, but we always love and overcome!” Jesse included a couple of heart emojis with that, which makes it even sweeter. Some people, as hard as this is for the rest of us to understand, argue pretty regularly with their significant others. That sounds super toxic, but we guess that Darcey and Jesse don't mind. This sweet video isn't the first time that they've put their affection on display. Darcey is all too happy to talk about how sexy Jesse is and even about their sex life. She also shared this caption with a photo of the two of them: “I am his Queen…He is my King…Together we are bonded by our soul & love…Together as a Twinflame we build our Empire…Together as one we love, create and manifest our true Love Legacy.” That's very sweet and also the sort of thing that you should maybe whisper into a lit candle or a crystal or whatever instead of posting on Instagram. It's a lot. But this reassuring video that they shared with their fans hit just the right tone. It's precious.

Blanket Jackson: Left Without a Guardian?!

Posted on October 31, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Of all of Michael Jackson’s children, Prince Michael “Blanket” Jackson tends to keep the lowest profile. Of course, that’s due in large part to his age. Blanket is only 15 and still in high school, which means that while his older siblings are embarking on careers in the media, the youngest Jackson attending high school classes. Obviously, as a result of being the son of one of the most famous musicians of all-time, Blanket’s childhood has been far from typical. But it’s not just the boy’s wealth and fame that set him apart from his peers. For one thing, Blanket’s life has been marred by tragedy and instability almost from the very beginning. Following his father’s death, Blanket’s family situation was thrown into complete disarray, with various relatives sharing guardianship duties. Until recently, Katherine Jackson was Blanket’s primary legal guardian . However, due to her advanced age and hectic travel schedule (Katherine is 87 and spends much of the year in London), she was often forced to hand off duties to other relatives. The family generally does a pretty good job of shielding press-shy Blanket from publicity, but this week, several media outlets reported that Katherine has surrendered her guardianship duties. According to E! News, Katherine has essentially retired from caring for Blanket , fearing that she’s no longer up to the task. Other adults in the family co-signed, explaining to the court that Katherine is  “no longer needed to fulfill the duties.” News of the legal developments sparked fears for Blanket’s safety amongst fans. Even when Katherine was the primary legal guardian, childcare duties were often divided amongst several relatives, with Blanket’s Aunt Rebbie and Uncle T.J. assuming the bulk of the responsibilities. Unfortunately, there were gaps in the division of labor, and sources say Blanket often spent the night alone or was unable to get to school in the morning due to scheduling confusion. With Katherine removing herself from the situation, there were concerns that Blanket would be on his own even more than usual. Fortunately, it seems his older relatives have been able to reach an agreement, and E! is now reporting that at Katherine’s request, T.J. will take over as Blanket’s primary caretaker.  “[Katherine] feels that TJ is able to assume all necessary responsibilities of the guardianship,” one court document reads. Obviously, at 15, Blanket is probably able to care for himself for the most part. But fans on social media are still expressing their gratitude that the boy may be able to experience a modicum of stability during the last few years of his childhood. We’re sure that’s exactly what his father would want.

Joy-Anna Duggar: Latest Pic Ignites "Shotgun Wedding" Controversy

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been two months since we learned that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her first child , and the controversy surrounding her conception date rages on. In case you missed it, allow us to bring you up to speed on the latest goings-on within Joy-Anna’s uterus: Joy-Anna married Austin Forsyth back in May. Three months later, she announced that she was three months pregnant. According to the Duggars, Joy-Anna conceived on her honeymoon, but some fans aren’t buying into that version of events. Perhaps it was the fact that she was already sporting quite a sizable baby bump in her announcement photo. Or maybe it has something to do with the time Joy and Austin confessed to breaking courtship rules . Whatever the reason, Duggar obsessives are convinced that Joy got married in a ” shotgun wedding “–and her latest pic isn’t helping her case: It’s Joy’s birthday this week, and to celebrate, Austin posted the above photo, along with a caption in which he gushed about his expectant wife: “Happy birthday to the love of my life! Besides my salvation, you have been the best thing that has happened in my life! “From being my spiritual encourager, working partner, hunting buddy, and everything in between you complete me in so many ways! I am always amazed at how much integrity and character you display in our day to day lives! I love you with all my heart!” So what’s so suspicious about Austin’s fairly straightforward birthday post?
