Are "Blood Diamonds" overhyped? What other more conflict zone commodities should be more visible?

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been the subject of media attention as she reluctantly testified at the war crimes tribunal for Charles Taylor, and offered claims that she had no idea what a blood diamond was. Although they may capture the attention of the media, blood diamonds are not the only conflict commodities—tin ore, used extensively in consumer electronics, is also mined in war-torn regions.Do blood diamonds capture too much of the media attention? What other conflict zone commodities should we be paying closer attention to? added by: sgwhites

Daytime Emmys Somehow Forget to Nominate James Franco

Posted on May 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The Daytime Emmys were announced today and General Hospital led the pack of mostly expected nominees with a massive 18 nominations. Conspicuously absent from the list, though, was the man who brought that soap opera high ratings, media attention, and deliciously meta plotlines: the one, the only James Franco. How can this be? Did voters somehow miss his Tommy Wiseau-evoking Emmy clip ? We’ve got it for you (and for you, James, in tribute!), as well as a list of the important nominees.

OMG! Tila Tequla is NOT Pregnant!

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We hope you’re sitting down for this. You best not be operating any heavy machinery when you hear the news. Seriously, this is more stunning than Chris Harrison’s announcement that The Bachelor will have a shocking conclusion . Are you ready for it? Tila Tequila is not pregnant . We’ll give you a few moments to digest this startling revelation… Buried in a series of Twitter messages late last week, Tila wrote the following: Today, of course, she made another reference to her “baby daddy” in a post. This woman is so bat $hit crazy confusing! Even if Tequila is (gasp!) not actually knocked up, she’s still threating the universe with a child. She Tweeted last night: Im in the process of adopting a baby from Kazakhstan, just like Casey’s Daughter. That’s all she wanted so Im adopting a child there. xoxo. Whatever. We’re just glad Tila didn’t die over the weekend. Our life would be so much less funny (although so much more truthful) if she had.

Fake Brittany Murphy Charity Shut Down

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Simon Monjack is the epitome of a bad seed. Dude is such a shady character that minutes after Brittany Murphy died , THG readers were speculating that he must have had something to do with her demise. That’s unfair to the guy. But little he does can be taken at face value. Such is the case with the Brittany Murphy Foundation, a charity he started to honor her. The only problem? It’s not really a charity . The Brittany Murphy Foundation run by Simon Monjack and Brittany’s mother Sharon hadn’t filed the necessary documents to qualify as a charity or nonprofit. As soon as this was reported, the website immediately shut down. It’s now back up with the following notice, promising to give back all donations so far … Pretty sketchy explanation about getting off the ground quickly … definitely not to capitalize on media attention paid to the late 32-year-old’s tragic death. Naw. The non-foundation says it will wait “until we have our non-profit status approved before proceeding to insure we can truly honor Brittany’s charitable desires.” If those desires included a Simon Monjack Drinking Fund, she’s smiling somewhere right now. If they were anything else, we wouldn’t be holding our breath.

Megan Fox Cowboy Tits of the Day

Posted on February 8, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I had this theory that cowboys were going to make a huge comeback. I figured that zombies had their revival, as did vampires and aliens all concepts from the 1950s. Cowboys were the only group of people who weren’t getting the media attention they deserved, I mean other than Brokeback Mountain, but that shit’s just homo…. I’m talking the cowboys kids used to play with, that America as we know it was built on that….So part of me was happy to see a good Western in the works, but unfortunately Megan Fox is attached to the project, making me think the revival is gonna end before it even starts. She’s got the ability to taint things like the meat I fed my wife the other night hoping her stomach of steel would shut the fuck down, but it didn’t bring the elephant down. So maybe my vision for people dressing like cowboys will still come true… Pics via PacificCoastNews
