John Mayer Loves This Is Us as Much As You Do

Posted on November 28, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

John Mayer has scarcely been heard from in 2016. He hasn’t released a new album. He hasn’t played many live shows. He’s scarcely even dated around, with the exception of that rumored Demi Lovato hookup . But now we know why Mayer has been so quiet: He’s been busy catching up on television! Over the weekend, Mayer admitted that he’s already obsessed with This Is Us, the tear-jerking new NBC drama that has caused Kleenex sales to sky-rocket around the nation. “Just saw the first episode of This is Us and I’m hooked. Cryin’ and hooked,” Mayer wrote on Twitter. Unashamed and out in the open about his affection for the freshman series, the artist added: “Not even wiping away tears for the next episodes. Just gonna let the first ones create tracks for a more even, efficient flow.” Those who watch This Is Us online each week can likely agree that this is a good move. If anything, Mayer will cry even harder during episode two… and then even harder than that during episode three… and so on and so forth. Mayer’s fandom didn’t take long to reach Mandy Moore, who plays 1950s housewife Rebecca Pearson on the popular series. She took note of the singer’s Tweets and responded as follows: “Glad you’re digging it, @JohnMayer,” she wrote back. But that wasn’t enough for Mayer. He needed everyone to understand just how much he is digging This Is Us. Heck, he needs everyone to understand that he may need to invent a new word in order to underscore his feelings about the drama. “Beyond dig, @TheMandyMoore. I’m about to attempt one of the most emotionally reckless stunts ever: watching an episode ON AN AIRPLANE,” he Tweeted. HA! We’ve never liked John Mayer more. This Is Us centers around Moore, her TV husband (played by Milo Ventimiglia) and their three children. It takes viewers into the lives of numerous characters even jumps across numerous decades, while also featuring Sterling K. Brown and Justin Hartley in key roles. Oh, and it WILL make you cry. It just will. Click on the episode below to better understand why: Watch This Is Us Season 1 Episode 8 Online

Lisa Rinna: I "F-cking Own" This 53-Year Old Body!

Posted on November 28, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lisa Rinna is about to re-enter your living room. Not in person, of course, but she and her fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will kick off Season 7 on Tuesday, December 6 at 9/8c. Not content to wait that long, however, Rinna jumped on Instagram Sunday and forced herself back in the news… … by showing off a seriously banging bikini body! Apparently a gift from husband Harry Hamlin, the two-piece adorning Rinna’s breasts and lower private parts is red and white. Not that most followers are looking at the swimsuit itself, we’re guessing. The actress and reality star proudly flaunted her body on her social media account, noting her age and writing the following as a caption: “HH brought me back a Lips Bikini. Yes my hair is different in this shot. And Yes I’m 53. And yes I fucking own it.” Gotta love that confidence, don’t you? How does Rinna keep herself in such terrific shape this late in life? “[Find] more than one form of exercise that you love to do and then [mix] it up,” Rinna has written on her website, adding: “One day do the pilates, and then the next day you play tennis. Maybe you can even incorporate a Friday night salsa dancing class with your girlfriends! “You gotta keep it fresh to keep yourself interested.” It’s clearly working for Rinna. We’re guessing Hamlin is still VERY interested in her, if you catch our drift! View Slideshow: 19 Real Housewives Who Only Lasted One Season As for what fans can expect from Rinna and her co-stars this winter on Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Based on the following trailer, there will be endless drama, a lot of fighting between castmates and even trips to Hong Kong, Greece and Mexico. Look for Rinna to be right smack dab in the middle of all the drama. “Lisa Rinna needs to sew her f-cking lips shut,” Kyle Richards says at one point in this trailer, prompting us to wonder what kind of event precipitated this comment. Visit our friends at TV Fanatic to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online if you need to catch up on anything you’ve missed and check out the crazy preview now. It’s gonna be an intense season! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 Trailer

Kanye West: Paranoid and Still Hospitalized

Posted on November 27, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kanye West … well, he’s had better weeks. And yes, that’s a mighty big understatement. On Monday afternoon, he was taken to a Los Angeles hospital after his personal physician called 911 and told the dispatcher that he “suffers from temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation and dehydration.” Kanye’s doctor also said that when police arrived, he’d likely become violent — he even allegedly tried to attack someone before being handcuffed to a gurney and transported to the hospital. At the time, Kanye’s rep said that he was “just exhausted,” and “he’s a notorious workaholic,” so between working on his fashion lines and touring, “it really wore him out.” Pro tip: whenever a celebrity is “hospitalized for exhaustion,” a good, long side-eye is typically called for. And it looks like Kanye is no exception. According to a new report from TMZ, Kanye’s problems are “way worse” than exhaustion. He is reportedly “paranoid and profoundly depressed,” and “he’s been dealing with these issues for a long time.” It makes sense: people like to joke about Kanye and his antics, but there have been quite a few times when there has seemed to be more than just his massive ego behind his outbursts. Take, for instance, the way he called Jay Z out in a concert last month, and again last week. In those rants, he sounded deeply hurt that Jay wasn’t as good a friend to him as he wanted him to be — Kanye begged him to call him, to come see him, to act “like we’re brothers.” Last week, he even said “Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don’t send them at my head.” He also said “I been sent here to give y’all my truth, even at the risk of my own life, even at the risk of my own success, my own career.” If that’s not paranoia, then who knows what is? When Kanye was taken to the hospital on Monday, sources say he was so paranoid that “he was convinced people were out to get him, including the doctors who were caring for him.” “For a time he wouldn’t even let the doctors touch him.” Ideally, Kanye will be able to go home Monday and receive treatment from his own doctor, but there’s no guarantee he’ll be well enough to do that. Additionally, we’re learning that Kanye’s mental state is so bad that those 21 concerts he canceled earlier this week? His insurance policy will almost surely take care of the massive cost, since the cancelations were “due to illness.” Get well soon, Kanye.

Jimmy Fallon vs. James Corden: Unexpected Feud Alert!

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The late night network landscape is positively overrun by Jameses these days. Sure, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers enjoyed bumps due to their election coverage, but they may have to photoshop their birth certificates if they want to continue to compete. (Come to think of it, America seems primed for a late night birther controversy, at the moment!) Kimmel, of course, is the O.G. Jimmy (We suppose that should be the O. J ., but we can’t do that to the man.), having held down his time slot on ABC since back in 2003. Next came Fallon, beginning with a 12:30 spot on NBC in 2009, and taking over the revered Tonight Show at 11:30 in 2014. Late to the party (Or should we say late, late to the party?) was James Corden, who took over The Late, Late Show last year. Corden seemed an odd choice at first, as he was a virtual unknown to American audiences and he doesn’t tell jokes, so much as he … drives around and sings songs with celebrities? We don’t really get his appeal, but against all odds, the self-deprecating Brit has found himself an audience. But like the Beatles before him, Corden isn’t content to just croon a few bars for a notoriously fickle demo. No, sources say he wants to launch a full-scale invasion, and he’s got his sights set on everyone’s favorite king of party games and hair-tousling : Yes, according to Radar Online, Corden thinks Fallon is vulnerable, not because of his controversial softball interview with Donald Trump , but because of the other well-publicized issue that’s given Jimmy more than his share of press headaches. Rumors about Fallon’s drinking problem have plagued the beloved comic for years. Sources say his boozing has resulted in injuries (including two falls that resulted in hospitalizations), problems at home, and frequent friction with his bosses. NBC execs issued a statement on Fallon’s drinking  back in January and claimed they had no real concerns, but many remain unconvinced. And where NBC might see a potential crisis, Corden reportedly sees an opportunity. “He sees Jimmy as a loose cannon and it’s just a matter of time before he screws up,” a source close to the situation tells Radar. “They couldn’t be more polar opposites — James lives a sober life off-camera and is careful about not partying with his staff.” The insider adds that Corden is hungry for an 11:30 time slot, and he sees Fallon as being far less reliable than his own network’s Colbert –  a trait he believes will eventually lead NBC to seek new talent elsewhere. “James has every intention of knocking Fallon off his pedestal when the time is right and he’s playing a slow and studied game to make it happen,” says the source. “James studies Jimmy’s program to make sure they haven’t copied his funniest bits, while Jimmy tends to crash James’ interviews at events.” Frankly, if this is really Mr. Corden’s plan, we think he’s out of luck. Not only will NBC put up with all manner of Fallon shenanigans so long as his ratings remain steady, Corden isn’t the only backup looking for a chance to start. View Slideshow: 51 Hilarious Segments from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Seth Meyers has been crushing it lately, and he’s been a favorite at NBC since his days on SNL. Looks like for now, James should probably just stay in his lane – the carpool lane.

Amazon Responds to Anti-Muslim Rhetoric With Perfect Holiday Commercial

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When one thinks of efforts to bridge the gap between people of different faiths and help our nation heal during times of widening divisions, Amazon probably isn't the first organization to come to mind. Nevertheless, the online retail giant has debuted a new holiday commercial that seems to be a direct response to the growing problem of Islamophobia in the Western World. Set in England, the ad features an Episcopal priest and a Muslim cleric enjoying tea and griping about shared ailments. Eventually they part company and use Amazon's Prime service to send one another presents. Each of them gets a knee brace in the mail (presumably with free shipping) and reflects fondly on their friendship as he slips on. The message is clear: Whether you're a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist or atheist – getting old sucks. We kid. As the priest and the cleric both kneel (now with less pain), it's clear that the ad intends to remind us that we're all more alike than we are different. Not to get all political in our description of a warm-and-fuzzy Amazon ad, but it's an important message during a time when the media has been forced to frequently use the phrase ” Muslin ban ” in its coverage of the guy who will soon be president. Interestingly, some advertising industry experts believe this to be the first commercial featuring a Muslim cleric ever to be broadcast on mainstream American television. “I can’t think of one. There are plenty of religious figures in televisions, especially sitcoms and police procedurals. But no ads with imams,” says Tobe Berkovitz, advertiser professor at Boston University. Toss out that giblet if the conversation gets too political during tomorrow's feast.

Donald Trump: Is It Wrong to Be Attracted to Your Daughter?

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In honor of this season of family togetherness, allow us to share with you a story of father-daughter bonding that’s downright … * throws up in mouth * touching. As you may have heard, Donald Trump was elected president recently in an election that shocked literally everyone, including Donald Trump. The last two weeks have been filled with reminders that Trump had little expectation of getting elected, not the least of which is that his wife and youngest son clearly have no intention of moving into the White House with him. Of course, we can’t blame Barron for not wanting to change schools midyear just so he can continue to be neglected by the geriatric grapefruit that sneaks into his mother’s room once a year to squeak the springs for 8 seconds. And the situation is only made worse by the fact that Donald clearly favors the children from his first marriage. Or maybe we should say “one of the children from his first marriage.” Or maybe we should say “Donald Trump is sexually attracted to his daughter.” That may sound like a needlessly scandalous thing to say about an accomplished statesman who was just selected for our nation’s highest office in a fair, honest and not-at-all-stolen-by-the-Russians election, and believe us, we hope it’s not true. But sadly, there’s a fair amount of evidence to support the claim. You’re probably familiar with Exhibit A … … which, by itself, probably should’ve been enough to disqualify Donald from any sort of future employment, much less the presidency. Then, of course, there were Trump’s remarks that he would “probably be dating” Ivanka were it not for the fact that, ya know … he’s her freaking father! Yes, that’s probably be sufficient information for us to draw all the conclusions we need to about the odd, odd relationship between Donald and Ivanka, but a disturbing new piece of evidence emerged today in the form of a redacted Washington Post article. The piece, titled “Our next president, the Godfather” and penned  Post columnist Richard Cohen, reportedly featured the following passage when it was distributed to syndication outlets: ” Jared Kushner, our Tom Hagen, who married Trump’s stunning daughter Ivanka — ‘Can I ask you something?’ Trump asked someone I know, about his then-13-year-old kid,  Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?” — has lately lost some of this Boy Scout aura. “It turns out Kushner’s admission to Harvard was preceded by his father’s $2.5 million pledge .” Not surprisingly, it’s not the revelation that Ivanka’s father-in-law may have bought her husband’s way into Harvard that’s receiving the most attention online today. The portion about Trump allegedly asking a friend if it’s acceptable to be sexually attracted to his daughter did not appear in the final edition of the article. View Slideshow: 19 Things Donald Trump Has Actually Said While Running for President Perhaps it was proven untrue, or maybe the Post  remembered that Trump is the litigious sort and decided to let him stay focused on hating the New York Times . We may never know, as the  Post ’s editorial page editor declined to comment when reached by BuzzFeed. Of course the really crazy part is that this probably won’t even be the most jaw-dropping piece of Trump news you read about today. We’re in for an interesting four years, folks!

Laurie Hernandez on Dancing with the Stars Win: It’s Like a Gold Medal!

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Laurie Hernandez has won Dancing with the Stars. Oh, sorry: SPOILER ALERT! It’s true, however, that the gymnast defeated a pair of other athletes on Tuesday night to claim the iconic Mirrorball Trophy alongside professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Of course, Hernandez won a Gold Medal at the Summer Olympics just a few months ago. So there’s no way this reality show-based honor can possibly compete with that previous accomplishment. Right? “Honestly, I feel like they tied (with) each other,” Hernandez told USA Today of winning Dancing with the Stars and winning the highest prize one can win as an American athlete. This seems like a stretch, but hey: We’ve never won a Gold Medal or a Dancing with the Stars season. So what the heck do we know?!? “The Olympics, as a little kid, it was such a big goal that I created for myself and I was able to push through and make that happen,” she explained, adding of how DWTS compares: “I’ve always loved to dance and my passion was dancing as well as gymnastics, so winning the Mirrorball was insane and amazing.” Hernandez knocked off James Hinchcliffe (and Sharna Burgess) and Calvin Johnson (and Lindsay Arnold) to claim the Season 23 title. In July, meanwhile, she helped her team win women’s all-around team competition in Rio and also took home a Silver Medal in the balance beam. Not a bad year, huh? Aside from showing off extreme dancing talent, Hernandez also wore her emotions on her sequined-sleeves at many points during the competition. As you can see in the video posted above, she broke down in front of the judges after dedicating a routine a couple weeks ago to her late grandmother. Chmerkovskiy, who has now come out on top of Dancing with the Stars twice, said he finds Hernandez very inspiring. He just hopes that others, most notably young fans and viewers, do as well. “I wanted to set an example through her … for her generation that anything is possible,” Chmerkovskiy told the newspaper. “To stay hungry, to stay humble, she’s a testament to that.” Hernandez agreed. She isn’t backing away from the pressure or expectations. “I do want to inspire others…When I was a little kid, I looked up to other people, so I hope I can inspire little kids,” she said. She’s off to a great start, that’s for certain! Do you think Hernandez deserved to win Dancing with the Stars? Where does she rank among all-time champions? And has any celebrity has a better 2016 than Laurie Hernandez?!? WOW! Weigh in below with your thoughts, opinions and comments. View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars Pros: Ranked!

Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 14 Recap: You Are USELESS!

Posted on November 22, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last night on  Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 14 , Maci got to meet the new woman in Ryan’s life, while Farrah feuded with her mom … again. Meanwhile, Gary asked Amber for help with Leah when Kristina had a family emergency, and Catelynn and Tyler experienced buyer’s remorse. Watch Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 14 Online If you  watch Teen Mom OG online , you know that Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have been through some challenging times of late. That even extends to repairs on their new house. The couple debated the amount they were willing to go over budget to fix some issues, causing them stress and even a bit of depression. At least they got an invitation to Maci’s wedding, which should give them something positive to look forward to in light of this situation. Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra: Our New House is Garbage! Speaking of Maci, she discussed having Bentley’s dad, Ryan, over to her house so she could meet his new girlfriend before the wedding. Yes, Ryan and Mackenzie are indeed invited. “I hope it’s not awkward,” Maci mused, and it may have been because how can it not be, but she later decided Mackenzie was “cool.” More than anything, Maci was thrilled that Bentley got to experience a nice time with both parents and their partners, all of whom are happy.  Maci Bookout: Finally Getting Along with Ryan Edwards?! Over in Indiana, Gary Shirley called Amber Portwood and asked her to pick up their daughter, Leah, from school in his place one day. She doesn’t have custody of Leah during the week, but she jumped at the chance; Gary was appreciative but didn’t want to set a precedent. He ignored her request to keep their daughter overnight, and sent his wife Kristina to get Leah from Amber’s house, causing her to cry. On a positive note, we think, we got a behind the scenes look at  Amber Portwood’s “mommy makeover” (not plastic surgery, she insists). Amber explained that her recent weight gain was directly tied to her depression, and she just wanted to be happy and confident again. Can plastic surgery really heal depression? We’ll see. Amber Portwood: Plastic Surgery Will Heal My Depression! Finally, in a not-at-all-scripted attempt at bonding, Farrah and mother Debra Danielsen were gardening when she flipped the f–k out as usual. Debbo ended up getting flat-out banished from the garden. Amazing. Once again, she cried to producers that she is not loved; Debra still helped with the opening of Farrah’s furniture store, however. Later, as they got their nails done, Deb asked for the next day off to run her own errands, and Farrah lost her s–t, yelling at her in the salon. Later, Farrah’s on-off-BF Simon Saran asked how it went. “Well,” Farrah said, only “Not really.”  Farrah Abraham to Mom Debra: You Are USELESS! Simon said that the reality star and her mom have to learn to communicate better, which is pretty much the understatement of all time. Farrah, naturally, got defensive instead of productive. After insisting that she’s not the one with the issues and the one who caused a scene … he called her out for causing a scene right there. Point, Simon.
