Christina El Moussa: DUMPED By Nate Thompson?!

Posted on April 12, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s only been three months since Tarek El Moussa filed for divorce from Christina El Moussa, but neither party has wasted much time in re-building their lives post-marriage. Tarek and Christina are working together again, and they seem to be hoping they can convince fans that little has changed in their relationship aside from the tiny detail that they’re no longer married. Unfortunately for the El Moussas, there’s been an intense level of tabloid interest in the dissolution of their marriage, which means fans are well aware that things haven’t been going smoothly. For one thing, Christina has seemed very eager to dive straight into a new relationship. It’s been widely rumored that Christina began dating Gary Anderson before she and Tarek were even divorced and that her husband understandably wasn’t thrilled about it. But that remains unconfirmed. What we know for certain, however, is that Christina was involved with Nate Thompson of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks as recently as last month. However, it doesn’t appear that things worked out between Christina and her rebound dude. There are conflicting reports as to what exactly went down between El Moussa and Thompson, but accounts concur that the pair is officially dunzo: “Nothing dramatic happened — it was super casual from the start, and they were never an official couple to begin with,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “Bad timing on both their ends never really let it evolve into something serious. They remain friends and there are no bad feelings between them at all.” A different source is offering a different version of events to Radar Online, claiming that Thompson unexpectedly dumped El Moussa in order to get back together wit his previous girlfriend, Sydney Kaplan. The insider adds that Kaplan looks a lot like Christina – but is nearly a decade younger. If that’s really the case, it’s gotta sting a little for Christina, who hasn’t had the greatest luck in the romance department these past few months. Sounds like she should just cool it on the dating, focus on her kids and … the house-flipping show she hosts with her ex-husband. Yeah, it’s a bit of a weird life Christina has carved out for herself. View Slideshow: Christina El Moussa Photos: Flip or Flop Hotness!

Clay Adler, Former MTV Reality Star, Commits Suicide

Posted on April 11, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Clay Adler, a model and television personality best known for his former role on MTV’s Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County, committed suicide while on hanging out with friends last month. He was 27 years old. The ex-reality star was likely best known for his leading role on the aforementioned series. It premiered on August 13, 2007 and concluded on January 2, 2008, serving as a successor to Laguna Beach. The program chronicled the lives of several teenagers living in Newport Harbor (an affluent community within Orange County) and was structured more like a regular TV show than a documentary. Adler appeared on both seasons of the show, taking on the “role” of Grant Newman’s close friend and Chrissy Schwartz’s occasional boyfriend. According to TMZ insiders, Adler and a few pals went shooting in the desert on March 25. At one point, in the middle of firing off a few rounds, Adler turned the gun on his own head and pulled the trigger. He died the following day in the hospital from this gunshot wound. Law enforcement officials tell TMZ that no drugs or alcohol were found in Adler’s system, but the 27-year old had struggled with mental illness in the past. After Newport Harbor went off the air, Adler tried to break into the world of acting, earning roles in such films as Make It or Break It and The Fish Tank. Both were released in 2009. Adler got started in Hollywood around the same time as Jennifer Lawrence. The two struck up a little friendship about 10 years ago, posing together on the red carpet in a photo from the 2007 Movieguide Awards that is making the Internet rounds along with this sad news. Not much else is known about Clay Adler, so we’ll end with his official bio, courtesy of his time as an MTV reality star: Clay Adler is a junior and although shy with girls, he is regarded as Newport Harbor’s hottest guy. Born and raised in Newport Harbor, Adler takes full advantage of his oceanfront playground. Whether he’s fishing from his speedboat off Balboa Island or surfing on one of Newport Harbor’s famous breaks, Adler catches girls’ glances wherever he goes. Adler’s humble attitude belies his looks and he often turns to Grant, his gregarious friend, for a boost of confidence. While it seems Adler could have any girl he wants, his shyness has kept him from having a relationship. But when Adler develops real feelings for Chrissy — and she responds accordingly — it could be his chance to break out. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam May Adler, and all the other celebrities who passed away in 2017, rest in peace. We send our condolences to their friends, family members and loved ones.

Taylor Swift to Meghan Markle: Pleeeasseee Join My Squad!

Posted on April 11, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Will she or won’t she? That’s the question now dogging Meghan Markle wherever she goes. In relation to the actress accepting a wedding proposal from handsome boyfriend Prince Harry? What? No?!? In relation to Taylor Swift asking Markle an even more important question. According to anonymous OK! Weekly sources, the singer is planning to befriend the Suits star and see if she’s willing to help Swift rebuild her infamous Squad. As fans have likely noticed of late, Taylor hasn’t just been absent from the red carpet scene or the concert scene or the awards show scene over the past several weeks. She hasn’t been filling up her Instagram feed with photos of herself and any members of her typically-viral clique, either, such as Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid or Lorde. “Taylor’s team has reached out to Meghan requesting a girly lunch,” the tabloid alleges, hilariously adding: “Taylor’s determined to include her in her inner circle and is willing to fly to Canada to meet up with her if necessary.” Oh, yes. ALL the way to Canada! You know Swift is serious in that case! Swift’s squad is more depleted these days than the roster of the New York Jets, whose outlook for 2017 is so dire than many fans are lamenting the loss of terrible quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. With no salary cap restraining her friendships, however, it’s unclear what has caused Swift’s Squad to splinter in such epic fashion. Although it was dealt a severe blow when Gomez started dating Hadid’s ex, The Weeknd, causing major tension between two of Swift’s best friends. But that at least means there’s an opening for the type of person to join on whom Taylor has kept a close eye for years. “Taylor’s always wanted to crack the aristocratic set and is trying to reconnect with Ed Sheeran, who’s in with the Royal Family,” the OK! source explains. “She’s met Prince William in the past, but befriending Meghan is her top priority .” By the end of this year, we may have a new Taylor Swift album on our hands. When the artist is not begging and pleading with Markle to meet her for a meal, she’s allegedly been holed up in a studio, cranking out fresh tracks. We can’t wait to hear them, but we really can’t wait to see whether or not Markle joins up with Swift in the near future. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Albums: The Definitive Countdown! In the end, if may come down to a decision for Markle: Does she marry Harry and join The Royal Family? Or does she pretend to be tight with Swift in order to pose for pictures that she can caption with the hashtag #SquadGoals? It’s a tough one. Which would YOU choose?

Javi Marroquin: Blaming MTV For Divorce From Kailyn Lowry?!

Posted on April 11, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When we first learned that Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin were getting divorced , it looked as though the couple would pull off something that no previous Teen Mom couple had managed: Lowry and Marroquin wanted an amicable co-parenting relationship, and they both seemed committed enough to make it happen. Of course, it wasn’t long before reality interfered with that goal. On the most reason season of Teen Mom 2, viewers watched Kailyn and Javi’s relationship deteriorate rapidly. The situation culminated in an incident in which Javi entered Kailyn’s home without permission during a fit of jealous rage. She wound up pursuing legal action and being issued a temporary order of protection. Javi opened up about his divorce during a recent interview with something called Posh Kids magazine, and he says the stress of starring on such a high-profile show added to the pressure that caused his marriage to crack: “I believe that it adds stress,” Marroquin said when asked about shooting the series. “You’re filming these long seasons. I mean it’s human instinct to be stressed naturally.” But while Javi  does seem to believe that reality TV played a role in the dissolution of his marriage, he’s careful not to bite the hand that feeds him: “MTV doesn’t hold a gun to your head,” he tells the magazine. “I’m not going to attribute the show to the fail of my marriage. I think we both made decisions and some were right some were wrong and that is what ultimately lead to the end of our marriage.” To his credit, Javi accepts at least partial blame for his Kailyn’s breakup, as well as for the ugly turn the various ways in which both parties made life more difficult for each other in the months following their divorce: “I think I could have handled it a lot better than what I did,” he said. “Everything was still raw and still so new, and I was in a bad place.” Remarkably, Javi says he and Kailyn have actually repaired their friendship and are doing well these days: “We are actually doing really well,” the 24-year-old recently told Radar Online. “Everything is behind us now and we’ve moved on. It’s all about the boys now and it’s great.” Of course, that probably means he knows the identity of Kailyn’s newest baby daddy . Unfortunately, it looks like he’s not talking. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the many ups and downs of Kailyn and Javi’s relationship. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry & Javi Marroquin Divorce: A Timeline of Destruction

Kylie Jenner Reality Show: KONFIRMED!

Posted on April 10, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

With the mothership sinking, E! is hoping a daughter can come to its rescue. As previously noted several times over the past few weeks, ratings for Keeping Up with the Kardashians have been plummeting throughout Season 13. While fans ponder whether the end is finally near for this nauseating mainstay, the network has confirmed that Kylie Jenner has officially signed up for her long-rumored spinoff . It will be titled Life of Kylie. (Because it’s about time we were taken inside the life of this notoriously private young woman, right?) The 19-year old, of course, has exploded out of the shadow of sister Kim Kardashian over the past couple years. She heads up a wildly successful cosmetics brand… she often makes news for her roller coaster relationship with Tyga … and she has over 91.1 million Instagram followers. Teases E! News about the latest Kardashian-Jenner spinoff: If you’ve ever wondered what’s it’s really like to be Kylie, wonder no more. The new show, premiering this summer, will expose a personal, more intimate side of makeup entrepreneur as she manages her celebrity persona, multi-million dollar company and, well, just being a teenager. We’d add that if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be Kylie, well, you need to get out a lot more often. “These couple years have been such an incredible journey with the support of my fans,” Kylie says of the impending series, adding as a preview: “This show will allow me to give them a peek inside all of the exciting things I am working on as well as some personal time with friends.” Producers say that Life with Kylie will highlight Kylie’s relationships with her family members and closest friends, including Jordyn Woods; it is scheduled for an eight-episode opening season. “Kylie’s beauty, business savvy and fashion icon status have made her one of the most famous and successful young women on the planet,” Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President of Programming & Development at E!, says. “Kylie has achieved so much at such a young age and we know the E! audience will be thrilled now that she is ready to share an inside look at her everyday life.” Kylie’s very own show has been an assumed inevitability for years. It joins a list of family spinoffs that includes: Khloe & Lamar Kourtney & Kim Take Miami Kourtney & Kim Take New York Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons Rob & Chyna Dash Dolls I Am Cait None of these shows lasted beyond two seasons. But Kylie is young. She’s intent on remaining Internet famous for decades to come. It’s not hard to see many marriages, pregnancies and plastic surgeries in her future, all meant to promote her brand and help her dominate the viral conversation. View Slideshow: 19 Reasons to Believe Kylie Jenner Got a Boob Job With Kim claiming she’s set to spend more time with her family in light of that horrific robbery in Paris, it’s not surprising that the family would turn to Jenner as the next real relative money-maker.

Halle Berry Shares Rare Picture of Son: What a Cutie!

Posted on April 10, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Halle Berry may not have starred in a hit movie in many years, but the actress is quickly becoming quite a big hit on the Internet. To close the month of March, for example, Berry treated her 1.3 million Instagram followers to a gorgeous  photo of herself without a bra on . “Me when someone says ‘I’m coming over and I’ve got snacks,'” Berry wrote as a caption to the photo down below, eliciting quite a few VERY positive reactions online. “Um @halleberry…I’m coming over and I’ve got snacks? #TheNewAllStateMantra,” wrote Questlove, for instance. Late last week, meanwhile, Berry made headlines for a social media snapshot of a very different kind. The former Oscar winner gave fans a rare glimpse at son Maceo Martinez, who was enjoying a positively radiant glimpse of the deep blue ocean himself. “When you find a pair of pj’s that rock your world,” the 50-years old star captioned the sweet image of the three-year-old dressed in rumpled white pajamas, peering out through a window. The peaceful picture was snapped from behind and does not show the boy’s face. Berry has always been extra careful to protect her kids from the limelight. She knows how dangerous fame can be for children. On the rare occasion that she does share photos of little Maceo or her nine-year-old daughter, Nahla Aubry, she makes sure to obscure their eyes, noses and mouth. We admire Berry for this strategy. But some idiots out there have actually criticized her for it. Last October, the actress clapped back at an Instagram troll who somehow took issue with Berry for cropping her kids’ faces out of a photo. “I’ve noticed you have said this several times now so let me be clear – I’m not at all ashamed of my children,” Berry was forced to write, adding: “I try to find creative ways to incorporate them into my feed because they are the biggest part of my life, but I also work very hard to keep their identities as private as I can considering they are only children.” Despite this being an obvious and admirable point of view, Berry continued. She concluded her reply to this online moron as follows: “It’s my belief, and I’m not criticizing others who have different beliefs, that it’s my job as their mother to protect their privacy as best I can. “When they grow and they’re of age and they want to share their images on the internet, that will be for them to decide, not me. Feel me? Have a beautiful day.” View Slideshow: Esquire’s Sexiest Women Alive: A Sizzling Summation Berry shares young Maceo with ex-husband Olivier Martinez and Nahla with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. She was also previously married to former Major League Baseball outfielder David Justice and singer Eric Benet. Indeed, Berry hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to men. But she has had the best of luck when it comes to her looks (see slideshow, above) and when it comes to producing precious children. Those are pretty important things, too.

Farrah Abraham: Bashed AGAIN by Teen Mom OG Costars!

Posted on April 9, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Farrah Abraham is the absolute worst, as evidenced by every single thing she’s ever done since becoming pregnant at the tender age of 16. She’s terrible — you know it, we know it, and her fellow Teen Mom stars certainly know it . For years now, Farrah has had issues with Amber Portwood, Catelynn Lowell, and Maci Bookout. The feud reached a boiling point in 2015 when the show was revived: originally Farrah wasn’t going to be part of it, and when producers brought her back, Maci threatened to quit filming altogether. Farrah, though she’d never say as much, seemed to be really offended by the idea that she was (and is) so horrible that Maci would leave the show, and since then, she’s been at odds with the other girls. And it certainly didn’t help anything when she and Amber got into a physical fight at the Teen Mom reunion show last year. So now we’re in this pattern where someone says something harsh but true about Farrah, then Farrah responds by either pretending she’s above it all, or by getting even dirtier. And that’s how we have this brand new interview with Amber, Catelynn, and Maci — all about you-know-who. When the ladies were asked about Farrah, Catelynn brilliantly responded with “Farrah who? Farrah Fawcett?” “She’s dead. Rest in peace. She was beautiful. Farrah Fawcett is dead. I love Amber and Maci, but poor Farrah Fawcett. Rest in peace.” Oh, the shade of it all! Amber kept it real, as always, saying “Me, Maci and Catelynn have always been good. Farrah, she’s just Farrah.” “It’s kind of like a non-issue, non-thing anymore.” Maci agreed, adding “It’s kind of one of those things like out of sight, out of mind.” But Maci — sweet, kind Maci — also said “I want the best for her and I think she does bring something to the show.” (Hint: it’s ratings. Everyone loves a good trainwreck, and there’s no trainwreck quite like Farrah .) “Not everyone is going to relate to me or Catelynn,” she continued. “The more different stories that can come together, the more relatable we’re going to be to everyone.” “I just don’t really have a relationship with her.” Fair enough, right? Not for Farrah. After hearing about this interview, Farrah made a new statement, explaining “I live my life separately and I think that’s the best way.” “Like I’ve said, I think we all need to create our own positive, healthy, happy environment in which they don’t fit in. So again, I want no part of their rounds and rounds of immaturity.” If she sounds testy, that’s because she gave a similar statement earlier this week after Amber and Catelynn theorized that she ” needs help, like severe counseling .” After that interview, Farrah said “I will not be including myself in discussions about what they say or have that circle of never-ending immaturity and unprofessionalism.” “It’s unfortunate that I have other cast members who are hateful towards women, and I just don’t want to belong or associate with that.” Oh, Farrah. Simple, ignorant, unbelievably terrible Farrah. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs

Amy Schumer: Brutally Body-Shamed by Swimsuit Designer!

Posted on April 8, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Amy Schumer just can’t catch a break when it comes to strangers talking trash about her body. How sad is it that this is the world we live in? Amy is just out there, trying to live her life, trying to do what she loves, and trying to be proud of her body and the way she looks, and at every turn, somebody has something nasty to say . It’s ridiculous, it’s pitiful, and you know it’s happened again. See, Amy just did a lovely new cover for InStyle, you can see it above. She’s wearing a nice white swimsuit, and looking just delightful. InStyle shared the cover on their Instagram account, where a swimsuit designer named Dana Duggan took issue with it. “Come on now!” she wrote. “You could not find anyone better for this cover? Not everyone should be in a swimsuit.” … Sorry, what? Not everyone should be in a swimsuit? Only perfectly proportioned size 2 types are allowed to swim now, is that what she’s saying? Or do average-sized people like Amy have to swim in tents or something? When Dana was accused of fat-shaming Amy , she responded with “I am not fat shaming anyone. She is a self proclaimed Cabbage Patch Kid. She fat shames herself in her comedy routine.” Some ridiculous human being commented that putting “plus size models” on magazine covers “gives many women an excuse to continue an unhealthy lifestyle that will eventually lead to chronic disease in most cases.” And Dana replied with a nice “Thank you!”, because obviously Amy is on her way to becoming the next Mama June. “I an have my opinion and you can have yours,” she explained. “It’s called Freedom of Speech. I’m not judging. Just stating my opinion.” But she also said that her company doesn’t make “plus size swimsuits” like the kind Amy would apparently wear, and she added that Amy looks “like a pig,” so we’d say there’s a good chance she actually is judging. Dana even did a few interviews about her opinions, stating “I’m tired of the media and publications trying to push the FAT agenda. It’s not healthy and it’s not pretty.” “What is wrong with featuring healthy and fit cover models?” Gee, Dana, it’s hard to say. What is wrong with your disgusting attitude? Some questions we’ll just never know the answer to, it seems. While the vast majority of Instagram users took issue with Dana’s statements, it’s probably safe to say that Amy herself isn’t too bothered by it all. She said it best herself: “Is it fat-shaming if you know you’re not fat and have zero shame in your game ? I don’t think so.” “I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love,” she added. “Where’s the shame? It’s not there. It’s an illusion.” View Slideshow: 17 Reasons Why We Adore Amy Schumer In that amazing message, she finished with “My deepest sympathy goes out to the trolls who are in more pain that we will ever understand.” Sorry ’bout it, Dana.

Meghan Markle: BANNED From Pippa Middleton’s Wedding?!

Posted on April 8, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Some claim that when Kate Middleton married Prince William  back in 2011, Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, received more press coverage than the bride. Obviously, that’s an exaggeration, but Pippa  did receive a lot of attention that day for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear. We guess it had something to do with Pippa’s butt and the fact that it’s apparently big by British standards. We imagine the average Englishman pops his monocle and faints dead away if you show him a picture of Kim Kardashian. Anyway, for whatever reason, many believe that Pippa stole the show from her royal sister, and now it seems Pippa is doing everything she can to avoid a similar fate on her own wedding day. Pippa will marry hedge fund manager James Matthews in May, and it was initially reported that her wedding would serve as a venue for the first official appearance of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle . Now, however, sources close to Pippa say she’s instituted a policy to ensure that she won’t be upstaged at her own wedding. Since arguing with the bride-to-be in the weeks leading up to a wedding can result in instant death-by-eye-gouging, Pippa could have simply said she doesn’t want to see anyone who’s name starts with “M” and ends with “-eghan Markle” at the ceremony. Instead, she kept up appearances by issuing a broader rule: Tipsters claim Pippa has announced a strict “no ring, no bring” policy, according to which, no guests will be permitted a plus one unless their married or engaged. Hilariously, it would also mean that her fiance’s brother, Spencer Matthews, would not be permitted to bring his model girlfriend, Vogue Williams. Apparently, that’s just fine by Pippa, as Williams is a somewhat of a celebrity in the UK, thanks to her role on the reality show Made in Chelsea . So Williams is a potential spotlight-stealer, too, but sources say she’s a collateral damage bonus kill for Pippa, who mainly has her sights set on Meghan. Of course, this whole thing could end up backfiring on Meghan. There are already rumors that Harry and Meghan are engaged , and even if that’s not the case, Harry still has a few weeks left to pop the question. Imagine the scenario: Harry shows up with Meghan; Pippa approaches to give her the boot; Meghan flashes a ring, and says something badass like, ” Butt out, Pippa.” Ryan Murphy would have a Pips vs. Meg miniseries ready to go the next day.
