Rob Kardashian: Thin! "Completely Different" Now! [Report]

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Out of sight, out of mind? For Rob Kardashian, it’s been closer to: Out of sight, out of mind… out of those XXL jeans and into a basic large. According to a new Entertainment Tonight report, the former reality star is thriving now that he’s stepped far away from the spotlight. As you’ve likely noticed, Rob is not appearing on his family’s E! series this season and he’s no longer sharing anything on social media. And such a private existence is serving the father of one extremely well. “Getting out of the spotlight was so important for Rob,” this source says, noting that leaving Instagram has also been especially positive for him: “He needed to completely change his life, things were spiraling out of control for him and his health and relationships were suffering. He needed to refocus.” This same insider estimates that Rob has lost between 30 and 50 pounds over the past few months. Because the star suffers from Diabetes, this is more than just an asthetic improvement. It means his quality of life has improved and his general health is in a far better place than it was during the heyday of his fame. There were fears in the past that Rob’s awful diet would literally lead to his death , as we detailed just over a year ago how Kardashian’s love of milkshakes had caused his weight to balloon. Due to his weight gain and inactivity at the time, Rob started to develop insulin resistance, which is a very dangerous condition for someone afflicted with Diabetes. That was then, however. “His life is completely different now,” this source explains, adding of where Rob’s head it at these days; “He’s got his priorities in check. First and foremost he is there for Dream and he knows that to do so he needs to be healthy.” Indeed, Rob’s daughter with Blac Chyna will soon turn two years old. She’s a total cutie – and, whatever you want to say about how Rob and Chyna treated each other during their romance, it seems like both parents are very dedicated to their child’s well-being. This report also says that Rob has been spending a lot of time with both his siblings and their kids as well. This has been very helpful for Dream. “All the cousins [Dream and Rob’s sister’s kids] are very close,” the insider tells ET. Back in 2016, Rob told People Magazine that he once weighed around 300 pounds. He knew he was in trouble, but he just couldn’t help himself. He buried himself in food any time he felt sad. Thankfully, those days appear to be behind him and Rob is looking forward to the future and… … what? Blac Chyna may want to get back together with him ?!?!? Crap.

Taylor Swift Sends New Message About Voting, Prepares to Be Reamed by Republicans

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

There may now be bad blood between Taylor Swift and many Republicans, but the singer knew there would be trouble as soon as she posted to Instagram last week. Nevertheless, she came out of the non-political woods and sent a message to young voters who think that a change in the direction of the country can only happen in their wildest dreams. Yes, she received backlash. But Swift has clearly shaken it off and is now prepared to receive any more. This is all a long-winded way of saying that the artist shared two new photos on Instagram today, along with a very important caption affixed to each. “Something I wish I knew about when I was 18 and voting for the first time: EARLY VOTING,” Swift wrote along the images above and below. She added: “It makes it so quick and easy to go and cast your vote before November 6. Early voting starts TODAY in Tennessee and goes to Nov 1.” Taylor even included with these words a link to a Vote.org page that offers information on early voting across the country. Swift, of course, remained notoriously quiet about her political affiliations and preferences during the 2016 Presidential Election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. She came under an unusual amount of fire for this indecision as well. Apparently inspired to put an end to the misogyny/insanity/racism/total and complete chaos under the Donald Trump administration, however, Wfit stunned the world several days ago when she posted an endorsement of two Democrats in Tennessee on her social media page. This is what Swift wrote at the time: I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway In response to Taylor’s unexpected foray into the world of politics, thousands and thousands of people registered to vote . Despite endlessly promoting and bragging about Kanye West’s love of President Trump, however, Republicans for some reason decided to slam Swift for expressing her view. They dismissed her as an out-of-touch and ignorant musician who is rich and famous and who therefore cannot relate to the common voter in any way, shape or form. This is what Trump himself said about the pop star: Donald Trump on Taylor Swift: She’s a Moron and I Now Hate Her Music! But Swift appears to be undeterred. As she accepted the artist of the year trophy at the American Music Awards last week, Swift again reminded her fans to vote. “I just wanna say to the fans … you have been so nice to me and fun, and you’re so funny and you’re so cool and so loyal,” she said om stage, adding: “Every time that you have made me lucky enough to ever get to stand on a stage and have something really sparkly in my hands … it means something different. “This time, I just want you to know it means encouragement … for me to be better, work harder and to make you guys proud as much as I possibly can. “This award and every single award given out tonight were voted on by the people, and you know what else is voted on by the people is the midterm elections on Nov. 6. “Get out and vote. I love you guys!

Here’s The Real Reason Why A Black Female Lawmaker Left Office In Vermont

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

View post:

V ermont’s only Black female lawmaker revealing the reason why she left office may spark more conversations in coming weeks. Kiah Morris , who resigned last month, detailed the negative trials she faced while working for the state that Bernie Sanders  represents as senator. RELATED: Vermont’s Only Black Woman State Rep. Refuses To Run For Reelection After Years Of Racism Morris, 42, a Chicago native, cited years of racial harassment as a prime motivator in her decision to leave her post and a re-election race. She also emphasized white supremacy and “toxic political discourse” as severe issues in the state. Issues, she said, that were often overlooked. “There were individuals in the community and throughout the state that we were finding were parts of white supremacist groups,” Morris said about the majority-white state, according to BBC . “Because we were so progressive and because we have been working so hard on so many issues of equality, we just sort of fell asleep and didn’t pay attention to that.” Kiah Morris: Vermont's only black woman lawmaker on why she quit https://t.co/adhJKWy7i6 — BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) October 16, 2018 Morris, who in 2014 became the second Black female member ever elected to the Vermont state legislature, had a horrible experience at times. She received death threats, and vandals targeted her property. She once even found swastikas painted on the trees near her house. An online bully and repeat offender prompted her to get a restraining order, but threats continued. The threats got worse with Trump’s election, she also said. However, those who sought to push Morris out of office couldn’t undo what she had done: pushing legislation extending free contraceptive coverage to residents, working to control pollution and “address racial and income disparities in the education and the criminal justice systems.” Morris feels that she has taken her life back with vacating the office after such turbulence. She believes that people should not be blamed for putting their safety or their families’ safety first by leaving high-profile political offices that can bring terror to their lives. As several other Black women move forward with running for various offices nationwide, Morris’ experience offers a cautionary tale—or more motivation for them to fight against racism.

Source: Santiago Felipe / Getty Wendy Williams wants to give back and she’s doing it in her own way. After dealing with drug addiction for a decade of her life, she plans to help other addicts get back on track—with the help of her very own billboard in Times Square. Page Six reports Williams’ new philanthropic campaign Be Here was launched through her Hunter Foundation and “will serve to combat drug and substance abuse.” The famed talk show host previously told the site that she aims to “bring light” to the fact that “addiction doesn’t have to be your demise.” In Wendy’s own words : “I lost a little over 10 years of my life regarding substance abuse, but I’m now going into Season 10 [of The Wendy Williams Show ]. I’m married, I have a great career and a flourishing business…it’s not that you fall down, it’s how you rise. And if you rise, then you reach back. This is a reach back.” As for her billboard, Page Six says it “features a split video of a promotion for the Wendy Show and Williams’ Hunter Foundation. Beneath the logo for her charitable foundation is a message encouraging people to donate to help fight addiction.” It will reportedly be up for three months. Click here to see it for yourself.

Christian Carino: Yes, He Really is Lady Gaga’s Fiance!

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lady Gaga continues to receive rave reviews for her role in A Star is Born. But the singer took a moment on Monday and acknowledged the special role someone else is playing in her life right now.] That is, she confirmed that she's engaged to Christian Carino. This is not a shocking piece of news to anyone who reads The Hollywood Gossip. We wrote about Gaga's plans to marry Carino back in November of 2017. However, the artist is famously private and had not said a word about this relationship until she spoke this week at Elle‘s 25th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles. The topic of Gaga's speech was a very serious one. She opened up to the crowd about having been sexually assaulted in the past, saying on stage: “What does it really mean to be a woman in Hollywood? We are not just objects to entertain the world. We are not simply images to bring smiles or grimaces to people's faces. “We are not members of a giant beauty pageant meant to be pit against one another for the pleasure of the public. We women in Hollywood, we are voices.” Gaga added: “As a woman who lives with chronic pain, as a woman who was conditioned at a very young age to listen to what men told me to do, I decided today I wanted to take the power back. “Today I wear the pants.” Amen, right? While this message is vitally important, it's almost being overshadowed in the celebrity gossip world by the fact that Gaga also referenced talent agent Christian Carino as her “fiance” at one point. The two started dating in February of last year and, as far as we know, got engaged about nine months later. Carino was on hand to support Gaga ahead of her Super Bowl LI halftime performance in Houston in 2017, where the couple was photographed cuddling on the field. But they have mostly kept a very low profile throughout their romance. Check out the video here to listen to Gaga both name check her future husband AND say some inspiring words about victimhood.

Selena Gomez: Was Her Breakdown Caused By Justin Bieber’s Marriage?

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last month, fans were stunned by the news that Justin Bieber and Hailie Baldwin had gotten married in a small, private ceremony in New York City. Just weeks later, Justin’s most famous ex, Selena Gomez, suffered an emotional breakdown that resulted in her hospitalization. Fans unfairly blamed Baldwin for Gomez’s breakdown , and while such criticisms are patently absurd, the timing of the two headline-making events makes it difficult to argue that there’s no correlation. Now, sources close to Gomez are confirming that Bieber’s abrupt engagement and marriage did play a role in her fragile mental state — but that’s not the whole story. “Selena can be a delicate flower, especially because she has had constant medical struggles, but Justin’s engagement and quick marriage threw her off guard and hit her hard,” one insider tells People magazine. “She and Justin have been on and off for years, although they were so young when it all began,” the source adds. “Justin was her first big love, and she isn’t over him.” Fortunately, the insider confirms that Selena’s condition is improving, and she’s fully committed to the hard work of recovery. “Selena is feeling better,” the source tells People . “She is getting the help she needs.” As for Justin, he’s said to be having a tremendously difficult time and is deeply concerned with his ex’s well-being. “This was his first great love, and while he was young and traveling around the world as a superstar, he learned a great deal from her,” one insider says. “He was extremely upset over what has happened to Selena,” adds the source, who People identifies as a figure in the Miami music scene. “He feels like she is part of his life and he wants her to be happy and healthy.” Asked if Selena’s issues could have a negative impact on Bieber and Baldwin’s relationship, the insider admitted: “It could be a problem down the road.” Just when you thought the Justin-Selena drama had permanently come to an end. We guess these two will remain inextricably linked in the minds of fans until the end of time.

Columbus Short: Kim Kardashian is Controlling Kanye With WITCHCRAFT!

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After Kanye West’s bizarre Oval Office visit in which he doubled down on his support for Donald Trump, his former fans are scratching their heads. But a former Scandal actor believes that he can explain Kanye’s strange behavior. Columbus Short accuses Kim Kardashian of using witchcraft to torment and control her husband. Disgraced former Scandal actor Columbus Short took to social media, sharing an image in which Kim smiles for the camera while Kanye stares into the distant. “I post this picture for one reason and one reason only,” Columbus writes. He then writes that his purpose is “to expose witchcraft.” Yes, you read that correctly. No, this is not an early Halloween prank. “This,” Columbus claims. “Is what it looks like.” We guess that about half the students in any early morning math class anyone’s ever taken are also under the thrall of witches, then. “Its [sic] a unaddressed issue but real and present right now,” Columbus continues. He goes on to claim that: “Both men and women all over the WORLD are unknowingly being tormented by witchcraft.” “And this,” he says. “Is what it looks like.” “You can call me crazy,” he very correctly states. “But I suggest you guys do your research.” Obviously, no amount of actual research is going to validate his claims. There are plenty of people whose personal spiritual practices can be described as witchcraft. They come from a number of faiths or may not subscribe to any religion. But they are very much not mind-controlling anyone, least of all Kanye West. Some might say that a little mind-control would do Kanye some good right about now. Easily the best thing about Columbus’ witchcraft theory is the replies. Sure, some of them are people agreeing with him and warning that they fear for his life since he’s “exposing” this “truth.” One person tweeted: “You Already Know What’s going on in The Devil Illuminati Industry,” which is one hell of a sentence. Others are arguing with him … saying that it’s not witchcraft mind-control, but MK Ultra mind-control . Social media is amazing. This is a little like when Flat Earth “Theorists” start espousing their views, only to get arguments from Hollow Earth theorists . To the rest of us, one theory seems about the same as the other. But that’s because two concepts, each equally divorced from reality, seem equally absurd. To those who really believe them, however, it makes all of the difference in the world. It seems that Columbus really, truly believes that Kim has hexxed Kanye. On a more serious note, Columbus referring to “torment” by “witchcraft” brings to mind his arrest warrant from just last month. The warrant was issued in September after he failed to appear in court for a divorce proceeding. His divorce from Tuere Tanee Short began all the way back in 2014, around the time of his arrest for domestic violence . She filed for divorce after he threatened to kill her and himself, and she was granted a temporary restraining order at the time. He has also been accused of other acts of violence, including violence against another woman’s child and threatening to kill Jamie Foxx for some reason. It is unclear if he believes that his life setbacks are the results of sabotage by witchcraft. They are clearly his own fault. Kanye’s behavior has been worrisome to a lot of his fans, and people seem desperate for an explanation. Some think that Kim is just not good for him. Others choose to blame mental illness, as if there aren’t millions of people with mental illness who manage to not be terrible. Now, an accused domestic abuser thinks that Kanye is under a witch’s mind-control. When, we wonder, are people going to stop making excuses that turn Kanye into the victim. Maybe Kanye West is just … bad. And maybe he has been bad all along, and people can no longer find easy excuses to ignore it.

Joe Giudice Deportation: Daughter Milania Shares Heartbroken Plea

Posted on October 15, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week, we learned the heartbreaking news that Joe Giudice will be deported  to Italy after his release from prison. Eldest daughter Gia Giudice is rallying support for her father in the hope that he can win his appeal. And now, so is his younger daughter, 12-year-old Milania. You can read her impassioned plea below. Milania Giudice took to Instagram and shared a pair of throwback photos that she took with her father before his incarceration. “My dad,” Milania begins her captions. She describes Joe Giudice as someone “who is the best dad in the world.” That more or less how you’d expect a man’s 12-year-old daughter to describe him. Milania then writes that he “needs to come home.” Milania’s captions continue as she vows that their family isn’t going to let the court’s deportation order go unchallenged, “We aren’t done fighting, dad,” Milania promises. Joe has 30 days (fewer than that, now) to appeal the court’s ruling. “I can’t believe this is happening,” she admits. As someone who is not even a teenager, Milania was totally unprepared for the horrors that our world has in store for so many families. Joe has already been away from his family for long enough — serving his time for fraud. Until last week, Teresa and her daughters had been looking forward to his release in 2019.  It was like the light at the end of the tunnel, when their family would be reunited. Milania admits that she can’t wrap her head around him being away from his family for even longer — this time separated by an ocean instead of bars. “I can’t imagine another day without you,” she writes. Milania vows that the whole family is working to see him returned home when he finishes his stint. “We are gonna do everything we can to fight this daddy!!” she promises. She gushes: “I love you with all my heart buddy.” A few years in prison might seem like a short time for adults, but it’s a huge chunk of Milania’s life that she’s now enduring without her father. This deportation order could make a bad situation even worse. Milania concludes her message with a simple, sad tag. “#heartbroken,” she writes. We can imagine so. While Milania is fortunate to have two parents who love her and to live a privileged existence, she still wants her father in her life. And so do her sisters. As we mentioned, Gia Giudice also sent out a call for support in preventing her father’s deportation. Where Milania speaks from the heart, Gia’s passionate words come with a list of compelling arguments. Significantly, she mentions that Joe was brought to the United States at the age of one by his parents. Deporting him to Italy is deporting him from the only country and only home that he has ever known. Italy is a beautiful country, but that doesn’t mean that a person being shipped there upon release from prison would be the same as sending them home. But Milania makes a very important point — deporting him would fracture his family. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!
