Rob Kardashian: Pregnancy Has Been Really Hard for Me!

Posted on November 18, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's not exactly a secret that Rob Kardashian has had a troubled relationship with Blac Chyna. In recent years, he's also not been the most attentive brother or uncle or son. Really, let's just go ahead and say that if someone's had any kind of personal relationship with Rob, they probably haven't had the greatest time for these past couple years. And honestly, it's easy to see why in this new clip from the upcoming season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In this clip, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe all sit down to discuss the upcoming baby shower the family put together for Rob and Chyna. If you'll remember, the shower didn't go as planned. Rob didn't show up because he was upset the family didn't invite Chyna. They didn't invite her because they were broken up at the time, but that didn't matter to Rob. He was so upset that he made the completely reasonable, not at all cruel choice of tweeting out Kylie Jenner's phone number . And now, through the magic of television, we're learning exactly why Rob was so upset. It's absolutely as ridiculous as you'd imagine. Check out what Rob's issue is, as well as the Kardashian's sisters attempt to calm his wild, wild heart, in the video below:

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Forbes has come out with a list of the highest paid stars on reality television between June 2015 and June 2016. Who sits atop this list? And how much did that person bring home over the past year or so? Scroll down. Find out. And prepare for your jaw to drop… hard. 1. Bethenny Frankel The Real Housewives of New York cast member and Skinnygirl entrepreneur brought in $8.5 during this time span. 2. How Did She Do It? She still makes millions per year off her signature cocktail line and also licensed out the Skinnygirl names to everything from granola bars to kitchen appliances. 3. Kourtney Kardashian The reality star “only” earned $10 million. We put that word in quotation marks because we’re comparing Kourtney to her sisters. 4. Where Did It Come From? Aside from her Keeping Up with the Kardashians salary, Kourtney shills for Manuka Doctor skin products and Kardashian Beauty. 5. Kris Jenner It pays to be a mother and a manager. To the tune of $11.5 million. 6. Wait… How?!? Because she takes a cut of the money made from all of her kids. That’s how a manager rolls. View Slideshow

26 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We often imagine celebrities as leading perfect lives – when you're rich and famous, what problems could you possibly have? But the truth is, stars can suffer as much as anyone. Mental illness, as they say, does not discriminate. Many celebs have been open about their struggles with mental health, helping to end the stigma that once surrounded conditions such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder. 1. Demi Lovato Demi Lovato has been open about her struggle with bipolar disorder, cutting and bulimia. “I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar,” she told People when she was 18. 2. Leonardo DiCaprio Leonardo DiCaprio suffers from OCD, which he drew upon while playing Howard Hughes in The Aviator. 3. Lena Dunham Lena Dunham suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and anxiety, and even incorporated OCD into her character on Girls. She has taken medication for her conditions and told fans on Instagram that exercise helps immensely. 4. Robin Williams Funnyman Robin Williams suffered from depression, paranoia and anxiety and tragically took his own life in 2014. However, his widow Susan said her husband’s death was a result of Lewy Body Dementia, a form of neurodegenerative dementia that causes mood instability, hallucinations and impaired motor skills. 5. Justin Bieber Justin Bieber admitted to taking Adderall for ADHD, but recently quit because it gave him anxiety. Early in 2016, he canceled meet-and-greets with fans, saying they left him feeling “drained and unhappy” and “mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression.” 6. Angelina Jolie The movie star admitted that she used to cut herself as a teen. “I went through a period that when I felt trapped I would cut myself. I have a lot of scars,” she told OK! magazine.

Gwen Ifill Dies; Longtime PBS Journalist Was 61

Posted on November 14, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Gwen Ifill, the longtime news anchor on PBS, has died after a battle with cancer, the network confirmed in a sad statement. The journalist was 61 years old. The WETA president and CEO, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, wrote in an email to staff at the public TV station Monday: “I am very sad to tell you that our dear friend and beloved colleague Gwen Ifill passed away today in hospice care in Washington.” “I spent an hour with her this morning and she was resting comfortably, surrounded by loving family and friends…” “Earlier today, I conveyed to Gwen the devoted love and affection of all of us at WETA/NewsHour.” “Let us hold Gwen and her family even closer now in our hearts and prayers.” A mainstay at the network on PBS’ NewsHour and Washington Week, Ifill had been absent from election coverage last week. Not surprisingly, her ongoing health issues were the reason; Gwen leave of absence back in May to get medical treatment.  PBS NewsHour executive producer Sara Just said: “Gwen was a standard bearer for courage, fairness and integrity in an industry going through seismic change.” “She was a mentor to so many across the industry and her professionalism was respected across the political spectrum.” “She was a journalist’s journalist and set an example for all around her. So many people in the audience felt that they knew and adored her.” Just continued her statement mourning the loss of the journalist: “She had a tremendous combination of warmth and authority.” “She was stopped on the street routinely by people who just wanted to give her a hug and considered her a friend after years of seeing her on TV.” “We will forever miss her terribly.” In honor of her life’s work, Ifill was set to receive the 2016 John Chancellor Award from Columbia University this Wednesday. A spokesperson for the school did not immediately have a comment, but will likely issue one in the wake of her passing soon. Ifill, who was born in New York, graduated from Simmons College in 1977, before beginning her career at the Boston Herald-American . She held reporting positions at The Washington Post, The New York Times and NBC before joining PBS back in 1999. Gwen moderated the 2004 vice-presidential debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards and the 2008 vice-presidential debate. That showdown between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin became one of the most watched and talked-about debates in history. She also moderated a Democratic primary debate between Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last year. Gwen will be pissed. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten

The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 4 Recap: Matt’s Return!

Posted on November 12, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We finally got more details on how Sybil became a very evil person on The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 4 .  Seriously, she was throwing back to what made her evil pretty much every scene and it resulted in one of the best episodes in quite some time.  Basically, Sybil has a sister and her sister is probably more wicked than her. I must say congratulations to the writers because they succeeded in making me think Georgie was the villain.  Georgie broke into Alaric’s home because she was curious about what she witnessed on The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 3. Unfortunately for her, the nanny was totally evil and sent her to the armory to knock Stefan out.  This allowed Sybil to enter his mind and lift the lid about what happened many years ago. Seline was the more evil of the two sisters, but Sybil struggled to remain good.  Their leader was a man named Arkadius and I’m getting a strong feeling that he’ll be showing up in Mystic Falls before long. The interesting thing about all of this is that Sybil is definitely not the more evil sister.  Seline takes that honor and she’s probably going to be causing a lot of drama. Heck, she murdered Georgie and brought up that time she accidentally murdered someone.  Not cool, Seline.  View Slideshow: 24 Shocking TV Deaths Georgie was dragged to hell and that’s the same place Katherine Pierce went to. It would be great if we somehow got to visit there on the show, but there’s no way that will be happening any time soon.  We’d need Nina Dobrev back for that and there’s been no confirmation of that yet. We still don’t know why Seline just happens to be looking after Alaric’s kids.  Those are the same kids who managed to take Sybil out the armory in the first place. That’s going to be one of the more pressing questions as the final season progresses,  Elsewhere, Damon continued searching for a mysterious artifact that Sybil sent him on his way to find. The most shocking thing was that Matt’s father just so happened to be the person who had the item.  Damon tried to murder him, but vervain saved the day. The show is seriously getting so good again and part of the reason is that these twists are great.  View Slideshow: 17 Television Characters Who Have Served Their Country Matt was less than impressed Damon tried to murder his father and decided the best course of action was to kill him. However, Damon revealed that he had Tyler bleeding out in a car.  But when Matt arrived to save Tyler, he was already dead. It was a pathetic ending for Tyler Lockwood, but it made us glad at the thought of Matt’s family actually being a big thing in Mystic Falls.  Who would have thought that Matt Donovan would actually get a storyline? I mean, he’s just been sitting on the sidelines since the series premiered all those years ago.  What did you think of the episode? Sound off below!

Val Kilmer: Cancer Rumors Resurface After Actor Cancels Tour

Posted on November 11, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For several months now, rumors that actor Val Kilmer is suffering from throat cancer have been circulating on social media. Kilmer has repeatedly refuted those reports, but sadly, there’s growing cause for concern with regard to the actor’s health. In addition to his status as a bonafide screen icon, Kilmer has won the respect of fans on the strength of his one-man show, which consists of a monologue performed in the character of American literary legend Mark Twain. After a year of sold-out shows in Los Angeles, Kilmer had planned to take the show on the road this month, but he was forced to cancel at the last minute due to unspecified health problems. TMZ has obtained footage of Kilmer having difficulty speaking  while addressing a crowd in LA and informing them that he would not be able to perform due to his breathing difficulties. The video is upsetting, but Kilmer maintains that he’s merely suffering from oral health issues that have resulted in a swollen tongue. Kilmer disappeared from the public eye for several months last year. When he re-emerged he was only photographed wearing scarves that covered his neck, which led to reports that Kilmer had undergone life-saving surgery . Rumors about the actor’s illness first resurfaced when cancer survivor Michael Douglas spoke about Kilmer’s health in an interview last week: “Val was a wonderful guy who is dealing with exactly what I had [tongue cancer],” Douglas told journalist Jonathan Ross. “My prayers are with him.” Douglas added: “That’s why you haven’t heard too much from Val lately.” “I love Michael Douglas but he is misinformed,” Kilmer wrote on Facebook in response to Douglas’ statement. “The last time I spoke to him was almost two years ago, when I asked him for a referral for a specialist to get a diagnosis for a lump in my throat.” “[That] prevented me from continuing a tour of my play CITIZEN TWAIN. I ended up using a team at UCLA and have no cancer whatsoever.” “I still have a swollen tongue and am rehabbing steadily.” Kilmer continued: “Some fans have mistakenly thought my silence about my personal issues meant that somehow I wasn’t being responsible to my health. “Because of my reliance on prayer and Love. Nothing could be further from the truth.” In other words: Val Kilmer: Not Me; I’m in My Prime! We joke only because we believe Val when he says he has his health concerns are minor and manageable. Whatever the issue, our thoughts are with Kilmer and his family, and we hope he receives whatever treatment he might need going forward.

Man Guzzles Liter of Vodka in 8 Seconds, Somehow Isn’t From Florida

Posted on November 11, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Andi Doherty is a British working-class bloke like any other, but with one important difference… Doherty has a Stalin-like taste for vodka and a Churchill-esque tolerance for the stuff. Doherty gained a lot of attention this week for the following video in which he claims to polish off an entire liter of Absolut vodka in just over eight seconds: Man Drinks Entire Bottle of Vodka in 8 Seconds Obviously, we’d like to take this time to discourage any of our readers from attempting a similar stunt at home. Come to think of it, we probably should’ve put that warning above the video. So, um … if you just walked into the room and found this article still open on your loved one’s laptop, our condolences.  No, no – all kidding aside near-suicidal binge-drinking like what this dude just did to himself is no laughing matter. So what the hell possessed him to attempt such an idiotic stunt? Well, Dorfman says he wanted to make his way into the Guinness Book of World Records , of course! You may be saying to yourself: “Wow, Guinness will publish your name for doing something that stupid?” The answer, of course is, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It seems Andi should’ve done a bit of research before he embarked on his noble quest, as despite the fact that the publishers of the famed records book are the also the brewers of the same-named delicious beer, they don’t encourage Leaving Las Vegas -style assaults against your own liver. “I did it to prove that I’m the biggest drinker in the world and I’m fully up for doing it in front of Guinness World Record officials to become the verified champion,”Andi told the the Mirror in an interview that presumably consisted solely of the question, Why?! “I chucked up the entire bottle the second time I tried it that quick.” Dorfman – a 30-year-old dad who says he filmed the clip as part as part of his Iron Liver YouTube series – adds that he’s out to defend his reputation as “the biggest drinker in the world.” “I can drink the most vodka in the world, no doubt about that, my friends call me a land pirate because of my love for rum,” Dorfman says. We guess that explains the flag and the fact that he’s the only UK resident to own a leather Oakland Raiders hat. But it doesn’t explain, well … anything else about his life decisions. Hey, at least it’s better than that time 50 Cent fed vodka to a cat . #2016, y’all.

Jenelle Evans: I’m the Happiest Person Alive, So SUCK IT, Haters!

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

“Happy” is not the first word that comes to mind when we think of Jenelle Evans. Maybe it’s the many times Jenelle has been arrested for assault . Or maybe it’s the many times she’s launched unprovoked attacks against her fellow Teen Moms . Or maybe it’s the time she compared herself to 9/11 victims because people talk trash about her. The point is, she just doesn’t strike us as the ball of sunshine type. But according to Jenelle’s latest social media updates, we’re dead wrong. Ms. Evans says she’s content, emotionally stable, and in tune with the rhythms of the universe. And if you don’t believe it, she will prove it you motherf–kers! “Can’t wait for everyone to see how happy I truly am this upcoming season,” Jenelle tweeted last night. “I am very happy and will choose to continue to live this way.” We hope she’s being completely honest with her fans and with herself. Despite the many atrocious things she’s done over the years, we hope Jenelle is genuinely happy, and that this is the beginning of a stable and fulfilling period in her life. Evans is pregnant with her third child and her relationship with third baby daddy David Eason seems to be her healthiest to date. Still the proof is in the pudding, and we’ve been down this road before with Jenelle. Actions speak louder than tweets, and she’s right that we’ll see how happy she really is the upcoming eighth season of Teen Mom 2. (MTV is calling it season 7B for legal reasons, but eff all that.) We all know that person who loves telling the world how happy she is on social media. And we all know that that person is rarely actually happy. Maybe Jenelle will prove to be the exception to the rule. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Mug Shots: The Complete Collection! After all, how many people do you know who have been arrested that many times and still have custody of half their kids? Watch Teen Mom 2 online to get caught up in time for Jenelle’s season of joy.

Farrah Abraham: Donald Trump Is A Great Man!

Posted on November 6, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Farrah Abraham is awful for many reasons. So many that you’d never be able to name them all, not even if you dedicated your whole entire life to it. You could spend the rest of your days pouring over her social media accounts, analyzing the annals of Teen Mom (LOL, annals), going over interview after interview. You could have a friend hold your eyelids open while you watch her sex tape so that you’d be forced to look at it, no matter how much it hurt you down to your very soul. (And it would.) No, you could go over all that and more, and in the meantime, Farrah would have done some new, awful thing. It’s a vicious, excruciating, never-ending cycle. And speaking of “vicious and excruciating,” one of the newer reasons Farrah is so terrible is her endorsement of Donald Trump . Last month, Farrah made it clear that she loves her some Trump in a number of social media posts. “Grab life by the pussy, bitches!” she wrote, referencing the leaked tape in which Donald condones sexual assault . In one post, she used a “She’s Not with Her” hashtag, and in another she referred to the entire Clinton family as rapists. “Should we have the first business man in history for president or should we have first women in history for president?” she asked, like that’s the fact that Trump is a “business man” is more relevant than all his recent atrocities. She’s not backing down, either, because she was just recently asked about Trump by some friendly paparazzi. And the things she has to say are so dumb that they will blow your damn mind. Farrah Abraham Endorses Donald Trump “I think Trump’s gonna be a good president,” she said. She didn’t even sound like she was joking. When she was asked if she was voting for Trump, she said “I’m voting for whoever I vote for.” “I don’t think I’m allowed to say who I’m voting for,” she added. “I think Justin Timberlake got in trouble.” Oh, honey . “I honestly think, you know, the Clinton family’s already been in there,” she went on. Then she actually said “For my daughter, I think Trump would be [the best candidate.]” She was asked if she thinks Trump has his own sex tape, she said “Probably,” and she added that “Maybe Hillary has one too.” This is the world we live in. Be afraid. Be very afraid. View Slideshow: 35 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time
