Tori Roloff Turns 27, Receives ALL the Birthday Wishes

Posted on May 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tori Roloff is typically a very content and positive person. The Little People, Big World star, in fact, recently vowed on Instagram that she will continue to keep her account full of happiness and light . So it’s not as though Tori needs a reason to smile. She’s pretty much always walking around with a smile on her face. Today, however, Tori has an extra special reason to show off her pearly whites: She’s 27 years old! The reality star celebrated her birthday on Thursday and then took to Instagram a day later to thank Zach for treating her to a big day, along with fans for their best wishes. “Man. Y’all really know how to make a girl feel loved on her birthday!” wrote Tori as a caption to the photo above. She added: “Thank you SO much for the sweet notes and wishes. I spent the day with my boys. Had lunch with my parents. Had dinner with my favorite date. And spent the rest of my night by the campfire where Jackson stayed up wayyyyyy last his bedtime. “Thank you so much for making me feel so loved today! #zandtpartyofthree #storyofzachandtori #27isgonnabeagoodone.” Elsewhere, Audrey Roloff posted this second picture and included with it her own tribute to her sister-in-law. “Tori is such a giver,” wrote Tori, continuing to gush over her loved one: “She puts everyone else’s needs before her own. She’s always thinking of ways to make others feel known and loved. “I feel so grateful to have her as a sister in law, and that we get to figure out this motherhood thing in tandem. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY @toriroloff you make everyone you encounter feel celebrated so I hope you feel extra loved and celebrated today! YOU DA BOMB! #alwaysmore @shopalwaysmore.” Family members weren’t done sending great thoughts Tori’s way, either. Take it away, Amy! “You put a smile on everyone’s face just by being wonderful You!,” wrote the Roloff matriarch as a caption to this third picture listed, concluding: “Happy Happy Birthday Tori. I hope you have an awesome day celebrating You. Lots of hugs and love to you my DIL Love.” Tori Roloff really does seem like a genuinely nice person. She’s spent the past 11-plus months embracing parenthood, recently writing of her son Jackson: I can not believe this little man is going to -1- in less than two weeks. I have been so emotional about it lately. I’ve been gearing up for his first birthday and just reminiscing on this past year and the insurmountable joy this kid has brought to our family. I now know what all those moms were saying when they said “it flys by.” This year has done just that. I love you so much baby j and I can’t wait to celebrate YOU in two weeks! Might a second child be on the way for Tori and Zach? That’s the ongoing rumor . If the chatter is true, we wish her the best. And even if it’s not, we still wish her the best! Happy birthday, you awesome lady! View Slideshow: Tori Roloff: Pregnant? Again? Already?!?

Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson: Wedding Date Revealed!

Posted on May 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Well, it looks like we’re just a few weeks away from yet another Duggar wedding! Yes, fans were overjoyed when Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson announced their engagement  back in March, but in the months since, the couple has been surprisingly tight-lipped. It’s not unusual for Duggar couples to keep the details of their nuptials under wraps, so as to avoid unwanted attention from obsessive fans. But many Duggar devotees thought this time would be different because, well … Josiah is different. This is Josiah’s second courtship . He’s the first Duggar of his generation to have participated in a courtship that did not result in marriage. As a result, the 21-year-old follows slightly rules than his siblings. Generally, unwed Duggars aren’t permitted to use social media. But Josiah started an Instagram page while he was still courting Marjorie Jackson , and he’s kept it operational ever since. It’s not completely clear why Josiah gets away with more than his brothers and sisters, but the fact is – he does. And one of the perks he enjoys is maintaining more open communication with his fans. So it’s not hard to see why Duggar obsessives assumed Josiah wouldn’t be as clandestine about his wedding preparations as his predecessors. But in the end, fans had to go digging to find out exactly when Josiah and Lauren plan to exchange vows. And word on the street is – the big day will be June 30 ! The information comes courtesy of the ever-reliable Duggar-related Facebook page titled  Duggar Family News: Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray . An unwieldy moniker yes, but one of the most reliable Duggar sources on social media. Pickles didn’t provide much info about its source, but you can be certain that unless there’s an abrupt date change, that’s the day the wedding will take place. It’s a little late in the season for an outdoor wedding in Arkansas, but hey – they call Josiah a rebel for a reason! A source close to the family tells us Josiah will be “the next to bust out” by following in his sister Jinger’s footsteps and casting off some of the more arcane family rules. There’s already been talk about Josiah and Lauren breaking courtship rules , and sources say once they’re wed, Josiah will permit his wife to eschew the dress code observed by both their families if she so chooses. Sounds like Josiah might wind up giving Jinger a run for her money in the rebel department! We’re sure Jim Bob is thrilled.

Amy Roloff Fans: Chris Marek Doesn’t Love You! He’s Gay!

Posted on May 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

On this week’s new episode of Little People, Big World , Amy Roloff and her boyfriend, Chris Marek, got into a bit of a disagreement on camera. They made up, and Amy spoke about how their open and honest success was the reason for their relationship’s success. Some very vocal and negative fans are urging Amy to dump him, accusing him of being greedy, fame-hungry, … and secretly gay. While there absolutely were plenty of positive messages showered upon Amy on social media after the recent episode, a number of very vocal trolls have taken to her Facebook comments. And, as always, there is no love lost between them and Chris Marek. “Yeah red flag with this guy, yeah so left you Amy got up walked out of the restaurant on your motorcycle road trip to talk to HIS friends, so why not tell you and take you with him.” He apologized for wandering off. Yeah, it was weird, but it’s weird any time that a couple has a disagreement. That’s life. “What were they talking about that didn’t include you, YOU’RE RUDE Chris your a fake and the reason everyone has bad feelings about you.” The person continues to direct their comments towards Chris … under a post by Amy. “That was disrespectful to Amy on any level, she deserves better than to be treated like that. maybe this is why your have never been married!!” Ugh. Another commenter left a message that starts as condescendingly as possible. “Amy dear, you should of gave Chris the silent treatment for awhile for what he did!” The silent treatment might be one of the most toxic things that could manifest in a relationship. Amy and Chris talk about the importance of communication. “That was ignorant and very ‘RUDE’ of him. Was it that important he had to up and not tell you where he was going and to leave you alone.” Then this person shares her theory. “Nope, I am trying to figure this guy out but I believe your farm looks too good for him!!1 Please be careful!!!” In other words, this commenter believes that Chris Marek is after Amy’s money. For the record, he makes his own money … but there’s no use telling some of these people that. Another made what may be the most outlandish claim about Chris yet. “Will start watching show again when Amy realizes that Chris just in it for the money!” Again, there is no evidence of this. “Always knew he wasn’t what everyone thought he was… no straight guy hangs around gay bars ..” That is categorically false. Plenty of straight men who aren’t wildly insecure about their sexualities go to gay bars to hang out with friends. “Now just walking off leaving Amy without saying anything… no commitment in Chris not when it comes to women…” Oh boy. That same person’s comment continues: “And that one expression half way a smile something behind those eyes like he is just acting like he is a good guy.. something shady about this character!!” She says that she won’t be watching until the show focuses once again upon the younger Roloffs. “Anyway when it’s about the kids and grandbabies and the farm I’ll start watching again!” Someone else chimed in, writing: “I wondered if anyone else thought of Chris of being gay! He was hiding something to be gone that long from Amy!” It’s still a ridiculous claim, given that the two of them are constantly all over each other. “Can’t wait for Amy to wake up with this dude!!!” Then came even more comments, this time by people who don’t have so much in the specific accusation department as they do just … general “bad vibes.” “I think he is with her just because of her fame on t.v.” Plenty of people date famous people, but very few get this kind of vitriol. “There is something about him. I would not trust. Sorry.” Wow, we guess she’ll break things off right away,t hen. “I hope I am wrong, but I think he’s in it just for his 15 minutes of fame.” He’s been dating her for a lot longer than that. “Something about him,I can’t put my finger on it!” Then don’t date him. “I am trying to like him….. I still have a bad feeling .. hope I am wrong.” Try harder. Another critical comment takes more or less the opposite approach of claiming that Chris Marek is gay. “Have watched the show from the beginning, but about to quit watching, getting tired of everything about Amy and Chris.” A lot of Little People, Big World fans love their romance. It’s heartening to see people find love after divorce. “They look like 2 teenagers always kissing, acting like idiots.” Yeah, what kind of dumb idiot kisses the person they love. “If they truly love each other fine, but lets get back to the way it used to be, at Least Matt and his girl act like adults when they are together.” You heard it in these comments, folks. Chris is apparently a fame-hungry, money-seeking gay man who can’t keep his hands off of Amy. Can the haters give it a rest? View Slideshow: Chris Marek: Who is Amy Roloff’s Boyfriend?!?

Prince Louis Officially Exists! See His Birth Certificate!

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

He’s here, folks! The Royal Baby is officially here! What’s that now? You already knew that Kate Middleton gave birth to a gorgeous little boy back on April 23 and you even knew she named him Louis? Or, to be exact, Prince Louis Arthur Charles ? Yes, you’re right. Both these developments have already taken place. However, Kensington Palace released the newborn’s birth certificate on Tuesday, making this child’s birth truly, completely, legally official and exciting. The document (below) is chock full of basic nuggets regarding little Louis, such as where he was born; he gender; and the names of his parents. One thing that jumps out to us, however, is the listed occupation of those parents. As you can see here, William is dubbed “Prince of the United Kingdom,” while Middleton is referred to as “Princess of the United Kingdom.” These aren’t titles with which we weren’t already familiar of course — it’s just funny to see someone’s job listed as “Prince” or “Princess.” Unlike his siblings – Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2 – Louis’ birth certificate is typed and not handwritten. We don’t know why this is or if it means anything, but we figured we’d point it out. We can confirm, however, that Prince William signed the document above at his Kensington Palace residence on Tuesday, May 1. It was witnessed by Westminster City Council registrar Patricia Gordon.  “It has been a great honor to register and formally welcome the latest addition to the royal family, Prince Louis Arthur Charles,” Gordon said in a statement, adding: “This follows a long history of Westminster City Council registering royal bites including Prince Louis’ siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte.” Prince William and Kate Middleton’s third child was born at the private maternity unit of St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington on Monday, April 23, at 11.01am. He weighed in at 8lb., 7oz. and he was shown off to the world just seven hours later when Mom and Dad posed for photographers in London outside the hospital. The royal family’s latest addition was probably named after Prince Philip’s late uncle Louis Mountbatten. While we’ve heard a lot of speculation regarding the name Louis , we do know that Mountbatten was assassinated by members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army during a trip to Ireland in 1979. Sad stuff. Worthy of a tribute, we’d say. Back on April 25, William told reporters that his new son was sleeping “reasonably well” and behaving himself. He added that his beloved wife was also doing well (and also behaving her self, we assume, hehe). Overall, parenthood suits Kate and William “really well,” a friend recently told People Magazine. This friend added that the famous stars “are enjoying it and are very happy.” That makes us really happy to hear! Check out a slew of Prince Louis photos right here and now: View Slideshow: Kate Middleton Baby Photos: First Precious Look!

Blake Lively: Did She Just Confirm She’s Divorcing Ryan Reynolds?

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last month, a rumor that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were headed for divorce made its way across the social media landscape. At the time, the notion seemed somewhat ridiculous. After all, Reynolds and Lively have long enjoyed a reputation as one of Hollywood’s happiest and most stable couples. But to shock and chagrin of fans, reports of Blake and Ryan calling it quits just kept rolling in. “The past few years, Ryan’s been working out of town while Blake stays home with the kids,” a source told Us Weekly. “The distance between them has taken its toll.” Reynolds employed his signature sardonic wit to shoot down the first round of reports: “I wish,” the actor tweeted. “I could use a little ‘me time.'” Fans were relieved, of course, and the controversy was thought to be over and done with. But earlier this week, Lively’s Instagram followers noticed that something was amiss on her page. As Radar Online points out, not only had Lively deleted all photos of Reynolds from her page, she had also unfollowed him and changed her bio so that it read simply: “What happened to Emily?” Adding fuel to the fire, Lively then followed 28 accounts of women named Emily Nelson. And like that, Emily Nelson became 2018’s answer to ” Becky with the good hair .” Fans assumed that Reynolds had been caught cheating and that Lively was determined to get to the bottom of his infidelity by hunting Nelson down. Sadly, this high drama nosedived into a disappointing conclusion today when it was revealed that “Emily Nelson” is merely the name of a character Lively is playing in an upcoming film, Yes, it was all an elaborate promotional stunt. Whenever you roll your eyes about something like this, some smart ass always has to chime in with, “Well, I guess it worked! You’re talking about it, aren’t you?!” Sure. In that sense, it worked. But apparently the film in question – A Simple Favor – doesn’t open until September! Does Blake really think this stunt is gonna stick with potential moviegoers for the next four months?! She’d have to actually divorce Ryan to win our attention for that long. View Slideshow: 22 Reasons Ryan Reynolds Owns Twitter

Blake Shelton on His Cryptic Karma Tweet: Here’s the Deal …

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Recently, Blake Shelton shaded ex Miranda Lambert in a subtweet. He seemed to be gloating over her recent bad press. He's gotten a fair amount of backlash over it, but he's never actually confirmed that his tweet was about Miranda. In the video below, he's asked directly. And he gives a very blunt answer. The tweet, of course, read: “Been taking the high road for a long time.” That's debatable, but whatever. “I almost gave up. But I can finally see something on the horizon up there!!” It is then that he shares that he believes that someone is getting what they deserve. “Wait!! Could it be?! Yep!! It's karma!!” That tweet was almost universally interpreted as a dig at Miranda Lambert, after it was revealed that she was dating a married man. As you will see in the video below,  E! caught up with Blake Shelton and asked him about the tweet. At first, he replied: “I don't care what …” He then trailed off, as if thinking better of whatever he had been about to say. Which was probably smart. But then … his fellow The Voice coach, Kelly Clarkson, decided to chime in. Clarkson eagerly tells the interviewer: “You have to know, y'all: Blake just loves stirring the pot — even if there's nothing to stir!” Some people like to create chaos just to see what the reaction is. Kelly says that Blake will instigate things between her and Adam Levine for his own capricious enjoyment. “He will literally start a fight between me and Adam out of nothing.” Here, she employs a strange analogy. “He just enjoys to sit back and watch — and people take off like little ants! Y'all are playing into it. You are playing into it!” We suppose that we've seen ants behaving frantically, but that is not the first comparison that comes to mind for frenzied speculation and drama. Blake, after watching with amusement as Kelly exposes him as a drama instigator, does eventually decide what he wants to say. “Look, here's the deal: If I meant for people to know what I was talking about, I would have said what that thing was.” We told you that he was blunt. “I'm not gonna stand here and talk about it.” Even though he is literally standing there and talking about it. “All I'll say is it's amazing to see people turn it into what they want it to be, even if it doesn't even make sense in that context.” So that's … super vague. Kelly then reminds him: “You like to stir that pot!” Miranda Lambert was with a man named Jeff Allen before she ever hooked up with Blake. Also, allegedly while she first hooked up with Blake. Which, among other cheating rumors, doesn't give Blake a lot of moral high ground. Allen's response to that subtweet about karma was to blast Blake as a lying, cheating SOB . He later deleted the tweet, but he clearly wasn't amused by Blake's gloating. We doubt that he's amused by Blake “stirring the pot,” either. Take a look at the video and decide what you think of Blake's “explanation.”

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott Embrace, Share Topless Photo

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As of Tuesday, it has been exactly three months since Kylie welcomed her baby girl . Happy three-month “birthday,” little Stormi! Stormi’s parents are celebrating with some skin-baring, post-baby PDA. And Kylie opted to share this topless photo with fans. Take a look! The photo below shows a fair amount of skin from Kylie and from Travis. We hope that this isn’t a problem for anyone. And, to be clear, it was shared on Instagram. As you may have guessed, nobodies flashing their tatas at millions of fans. That would be an awkward way to celebrate your child’s three-month birthday. (No judgment if that’s how you celebrate, though) Still, Kylie and Travis are packing on the PDA. There’s clearly more than Stormi keeping these two young parents together. It is, in fact, Travis who is topless, though Kylie isn’t exactly obscuring her skin. The 20-year-old mother is sporting a nude bandeau and what we’re willing to loosely describe as “army-inspired” pants. Travis is wearing no shirt, but he his ink to bring some variety to that bare torso. He’s also sporting a pair of orange shorts that actually coordinate really well with the photo’s color scheme. The overall effect is a warm, affectionate photo. It looks really romantic. Maybe too romantic. … Does anyone else notice that this photo has a vibe very different from a standard “our baby was born three months ago” photo? It honestly looks more like an engagement photo. Kylie has also been spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger recently. This pic is just adding more fuel to the engagement speculation fire that has been blazing among fans for months and months. Now that Kylie and Travis have probably been dating for barely over a year, some wonder if it’s time. But now might not be time. It might never be time, in fact. Not everyone gets married, even if they stay in a relationship with their baby daddy and have more kids with him. You don’t have to look far to find examples of that. Kylie’s big sister Kourtney is a great example. But even without any kind of official engagement, Travis has really stepped up to treat Kylie right . A lot of people had been worried — we’ll be honest, we had our concerns when we saw that he continued to tour last year without acknowledging Kylie’s pregnancy in public — that Travis was going to leave Kylie. Those fears were quashed as soon as Kylie and Travis opened up about the pregnancy. Kylie shared a video that showed Travis attending multiple doctor’s appointments and ultrasounds with her. He was right by her side and so excited about becoming a father. It reaffirmed some people’s belief in love. Fans hope that, as Kylie becomes increasingly comfortable with her post-baby bod, Kylie and Travis will treat fans to more glimpses of the two of them. They might never (will hopefully never) reach PDA levels akin to what Kylie used to show of her relationship with Tyga. … (Ugh, remember that Snapchat video of Tyga talking excitedly about Kylie’s feet? That is never not creepy, but given how frankly Tyga talks about his foot fetish , it’s even worse in retrospect) … But Kylie’s fans love seeing her life, her post-baby body, and her relationship with Travis. Almost as much as they love seeing impossibly cute videos of Kylie and Stormi . View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner: Her Sexiest Snapshots as the Hottest Mom Ever

Jenelle Evans: Will She Lose Custody of Kaiser Over Gun Incident?!

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier today, we reported on the shocking news that Jenelle Evans pulled a gun on another driver in a frightening road rage incident. Thankfully (and astonishingly), no one was injured when Jenelle chased the other motorist into his home while brandishing a weapon, but that doesn’t mean the episode won’t carry serious consequences for the Teen Mom 2 star fans love to hate. Already, there have been rumors that Jenelle might be fired by MTV as a result of her actions. Obviously, Ms. Evans has had many, many brushes with the law since first gaining fame over a decade ago, and thus far, none of them has cost her her job. But this time might be different. An MTV camera crew was following close behind during Jenelle’s wild ride, which means not only was the whole thing captured on film, Jenelle may have put network employees in danger. The footage is already beng reviewed by MTV execs, who are reportedly discussing the matter of Jenelle’s future in closed meetings. Needless to say, things aren’t looking great for Evans her on the career front – or any other front, for that matter. In fact, insiders now say Jenelle’s ex-fiancé, Nathan Griffith, is planning to use this latest brush with the law as grounds to obtain sole custody of 3-year-old Kaiser, his son with Evans “We are fearful,” Griffith’s girlfriend, Ashley Lanhardt , told Radar Online. “Her erratic behavior is frightening. “Who follows someone home and trespasses on someone else’s property?” Lanhardt adds. We can’t help but think that Ashley is burying the lede a bit by not focusing on the gun part, but hey – trespassing is bad too, right? Anyway, it seems Griffith and his loved ones are in the process of beginning their effort to strip Jenelle of all custody and visitation rights. “They’re consulting with a lawyer about next steps,” one insider tells Radar Online. As longtime TM2 fans know, Jenelle has already lost custody of her eldest son , Jace, who is currently being raised by her mother, Barbara Evans. Her legal battle with Nathan has been raging for years, and while Kaiser was not present at the time of the incident, more legal trouble for Jenelle could result in a big change in Evans’ parental rights. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to remind yourself of just how much evidence of erratic behavior Griffith’s lawyers have on video.

Kanye West Basically Blames Black People for Slavery

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Look, we really don’t want to do this. We don’t want to write about Kanye West. The rapper is either suffering from a mental breakdown, in which case he needs professional help… … or he’s just saying crazy and disturbing stuff to build up publicity for his next two albums, in which case: eff you, dude. But the rapper, who can’t stop fawning over Donald Trump , said something so ridiculous during a visit to TMZ headquarters on Tuesday afternoon that we can’t help ourselves. We have to write about it. We would not be doing our job as a celebrity gossip website otherwise. In an outlandish nutshell, West said African-Americans only had themselves to blame for being enslaved. “I am in hip-hop, but I’m not just in hip-hop,” Kanye opened, while talking to the hosts of TMZ Live. He then continues: “I’m a black person in the black community, but I’m not just that. I feel like one thing is that people try to minimize me… I’m always going to represent that, but I also represent the world.” Okay, we guess. Go on, ‘Ye… “You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice,” he said, to the consternation and confusing of those around him, adding: “Like, that was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s like, we’re mentally in prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because slavery is too direct to the idea of blacks. “Like Holocaust is Jews, slavery is blacks. So prison is something that unites us as one race, whites and blacks being one race. The human race.” Where do we even begin with nonsense such as this? For historical fact, the Civil War ended in 1861. Backtrack 400 years and the the year is 1461, three decades before Christopher Columbus set foot on America and about three-hundred years before America defeated Great Britain in the Revolutionary War. So we have no clue where Kanye got his “400 years” from. Putting that aside, however, it should go without saying that even the mere hint of slavery as a “choice” made by black people is incredibly offensive. Which is why TMZ employee Van Lathan (pictured below) stepped in. “Do you feel that I am being free and that I’m thinking free?” Kanye asked the room, which promoted Lathan to say the following: I actually don’t feel think you’re thinking anything. I think what you’re doing right now is actually the absence of thought. The reason that I feel that is because Kanye, you’re entitled to you’re opinion. You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but there is fact and real world real life consequence behind everything that you just said. While you are making music and being an artist and living the life that you earned by being a genius, the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives. We have to deal with the marginalization that’s come from the 400 years of slavery that you said for our people, was a choice. Frankly, I’m disappointed, I’m appalled and brother, I’m unbelievably hurt by the fact that you have morphed into something, to me, that’s not real. Now, yes, this all took place in front of TMZ cameras and could all have been some staged publicity stunt. But even so, Lathan says everything perfectly here. It’s not “freedom” of thought, as Kanye likes to say, to just spout anything that enters your head. That’s sort of what a mentally imbalanced person does, screaming anything and everything without stopping to think if it actually makes sense. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian BLASTS Media: Kanye’s Not Unstable! He’s a Genius!! This is why Kim Kardashian is allegedly trying to organize an intervention for her husband. It’s especially galling, as Lathan also points out, for a mega rich celebrity to be saying this stuff because, let’s face it, Kanye West is going to be just fine. He won’t be negatively affected in any real way by Donald Trump’s policy, but low-income African-Americans will be. It’s easy for Kanye to sit in his ivory tower and saddle up on his high horse and show support for Trump or say something dumb like slavery was a “choice.” He’ll just go home to his mansion, laugh at his number of Twitter followers and make love to his millionaire wife. Twitter is very much Team Van when it comes to this back-and-forth. For someone who considers himself to be oh so “real,” Kanye lives in nothing resembling the real world. After his exchange with Lathan, West walked across the newsroom and said to him: “Bro, I’m sorry I hurt you.” So there he goes. There’s a start. If Kanye rethinks pretty much every attitude he has on life and says the same thing to the rest of the country, we may actually get somewhere.
