Khloe Kardashian Whines About Weight

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this month, rumors sprung up that Khloe Kardashian might be pregnant . Not because anyone referred to her as fat. But because she wore an unusually flowing dress to a public event; because that’s the route her sister took when she signed on for a spin-off; and because her siblings didn’t flat out deny the chatter. Naturally, though, Khloe has used this talk to once again whine about her weight, doing so in a video posted to her blog. Khloe Kardashian Vlog “I feel like no matter what I do, I never look good enough to everybody else,” Kardashian says. “I think my weight is my biggest lifetime struggle. It’s not the biggest thing in life, but it does get you down sometimes.” Fortunately, when these dour moods strike, Khloe can count the money she’s made by posing for tabloid covers that hype up her awesome bikini body. So that helps a little.

Morocco Elijah Tyson was born in Nevada on Tuesday, boxer confirms. By Jocelyn Vena Mike Tyson Photo: Michael Tran/ FilmMagic Babies, babies and more babies. Mike Tyson joins the new-baby club after it was announced on Wednesday that the boxer and his wife Lakiha Spicer Tyson welcomed a son. The boxer’s rep confirmed the birth to People.com sharing that, “Morocco Elijah Tyson arrived Jan. 25 in Henderson, Nev., weighing in at 8 lbs. and 13 oz., and measuring 19 inches in length.” The couple announced they were expecting last September. It’s the second child for the couple, who already have a daughter, Milan, 2. Tyson and his wife married in June 2009 in Las Vegas. The wedding came less than two weeks after Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter Exodus died as a result of an accidental strangling when she was ensnared in a treadmill power cable at the family’s home in Phoenix. “I’m just looking forward to trying to do this stuff right. Of course, you know, you — I want to do it right. I’ve been married — this is my third marriage. I want to do it right. I want to do it right,” he told Larry King about his family life . “It’s nothing like being a committed father. You have to be committed and dedicated. This is going to be something new on me, to be totally committed and dedicated to this situation.” In the same CNN interview, the boxing legend spoke about the loss of his daughter, Exodus, and how it affected him as a parent. “I had to grow up,” he said. “I had an incident where I lost my daughter in some family accident at home and it was just a time to grow up and wake up.” Share your well-wishes for the Tyson family in the comments below.

Decemberists Lock Down First Billboard #1

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Social Distortion and the Script also debut in the top five. By Gil Kaufman The Decemberists’ The King Is Dead Photo: Capitol/ EMI A week after Cake landed their first #1 debut , the Decemberists also put up their best-ever career numbers, easily taking over the top spot on the Billboard 200 with a strong debut for their most straightforward work to date, The King Is Dead. The big debut crushes their previous chart best, notched in 2009 when their rock opera The Hazards of Love moved 19,000 copies in its first week and came in at #14. The King smashes that debut figure by selling nearly 94,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, halting the string of record-low #1 sales figures. The Decemberists lead a stampede of new names into the top five, which also includes the Kidz Bop 19 collection at #2 (70,000); Science & Faith, the latest from Irish soft rockers the Script (#3, 49,000); a career-best bow for punk lifers Social Distortion with Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes (#4, 46,000); and a #5 debut for Allman Brothers Band singer Gregg Allman for his first solo album in 14 years, Low Country Blues (36,000). The rest of the top 10: Bruno Mars , Doo-Wops & Hooligans (#6, 34,000), Katy Perry , Teenage Dream (#7, 33,000), Taylor Swift , Speak Now (#8, 31,000), Nicki Minaj , Pink Friday (#9, 28,000) and Mumford & Sons , Sigh No More (27,000). Just outside the top 10 at #11 is the third album from soft rocker James Blunt , Some Kind of Trouble (26,000). With plans to unleash at least two more albums by summer, Kanye West ‘s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy drops six spots to #16 on sales of 22,000 as West comes within spitting distance of one million units sold. Speaking of Cake , the quirky indie rockers drop steeply from the top, plunging 24 spots in week two to #25 as sales of Showroom of Compassion declined 67 percent to 15,000. Also facing a big comedown is last week’s #2 album, Cage the Elephant ‘s Thank You, Happy Birthday, which falls 26 spots to #28 on sales of 14,000. On the heels of a Golden Globe win and just before receiving an Oscar nomination, the Trent Reznor-helmed soundtrack to “The Social Network” climbs 23 slots to #49 as business picked up by 52 percent (9,000). The Decemberists also triumph on the iTunes albums chart, taking over the #1 spot, followed by the Script, Perry, Mumford & Sons, Social D, Blunt, the “Country Strong” soundtrack, Mars, West and Swift. The iTunes singles chart still belongs to Mars’ “Grenade,” which, despite a Steelers playoff win, beats out Wiz Khalifa ‘s “Black and Yellow,” which is followed by Britney Spears ‘ “Hold It Against Me,” Enrique Iglesias ‘ “Tonight,” Perry’s “Firework,” Pink ‘s “F—in’ Perfect” and Pitbull ‘s “Hey Baby.” Rounding out the top 10 are Diddy-Dirty Money with “Coming Home,” the Black Eyed Peas with “The Time (Dirty Bit)” and Ke$ha ‘s “We R Who We R.” The top 10 should remain mostly unchanged next week, as the only notable releases include new albums from Iron & Wine , Cold War Kids , Amos Lee and David Guetta .

The Bachelor Recap: Black Eyes, Money Dates

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last night’s episode of The Bachelor was all about facing our fears. Or so the cue cards said. Who’s up to the task and who’s packing their bags, ladies? The fourth installment of the new season certainly provided its usual quota of tears, catty comments and unintentional comedy. How did it all play out? Let’s break it down right here. On to THG’s classic +/- recap! Michelle Money is really coming into her own as an insane contestant. The episode hilariously opens with Michelle waking up to learn she has a black eye. “I have no idea what happened,” she tells Brad. Meghan thinks she’s just trying to get attention … by punching her own face?! Eh, we’ll buy it. Plus 10 . Ashley S. couldn’t care less how it happened, she just wishes she had been responsible. “I want to rip her head off,” she says. Girl, tone down the crazy. Minus 4 . Off to Catalina with Chantal. Where Kip-Ten fell in love. So poetic. Plus 3 . Chantal name-checks all the Bachelor catch-phrases in like three minutes: “Find the right person,” “I have trust,” “He’s worth it,” “Follow my heart,” etc. Minus 9 . Over dinner she tells Brad that she wants to get married again. We admit, we sort of like Chantal O’Brien. Brad really seems to act like himself with her. Plus 8 . Dude needs to speak without being so rehearsed though. His scripted lines don’t always come out right, i.e. “I want to continue this, badly, with you.” Minus 3 . Brad pretends he’d heard of Dr. Drew three hours prior to this . Minus 6 for the group going to Loveline with Dr. Drew and acting like they’re being all profound in opening up about relationships. Just seems silly and contrived. Outside, Ashley H. is worried she’s not getting any time with Brad. She then proceeds to get all kinds of drunk at the pool party. Gotta love The Bachelor. Plus 6 . Brad is going to give her a rose to make her feel better, but “UGH, this is AWKWARD!” she wails, interrupting Brad and earning Britt the rose instead. Minus 14 . Ashley H. is coming out of her shell and providing a nice, not-quite-as-nuts kind of crazy counterbalance to Michelle, though. We hope she sticks around. Plus 4 . As The Bachelor spoilers predicted, Michelle gets a one-on-one date. And is just as insane as you think about “ME TIME!” She can become grating fast. Minus 7 . Before rappelling down the side of an LA skyscraper, a tearful Michelle decides to “take a leap of faith for love.” Good one, Chris and Mike. Well-written. Plus 9 . Just pop the question already, Brad. We know you want to. Even though she didn’t get a one-on-one date, Brad takes Emily Maynard outside for a private picnic. Sort of giving the shaft to the other girls, but it’s Emily. Plus 10 . Chantal is most affected by Brad’s gesture, questioning whether she is “unstable” and “meek” enough for Brad. Wow, that’s rough. But a little true, so Minus only 3 . “It’s hard to be reminded he has special things with other people too.” – Chantal. On The Bachelor, yes, who’d ever have seen that shocking twist coming. Plus 4 . Again with Brad’s odd comma use. After he cuts three women loose, he says “Come here, to me, please?” Brad, it’s okay to speak off the cuff at times. Minus 7 . At least they got Chris Harrison out of bed for the ceremony. Plus 3 . TOTAL: +4. SEASON TOTAL: +46. ROSE RECIPIENTS: Alli Travis, Ashley Hebert, Ashley Spivey, Britt Billmaier, Chantal O’Brien , Emily Maynard, Jackie Gordon, Lisa Morrisey, Marissa May, Michelle Money, Shawntel Newton . OUT : Stacey Queripel, Meghan Merritt and Lindsey Hill.

Jay-Z, Kanye West’s ‘H.A.M.’ Beatsmith Lex Luger Looks Ahead

Posted on January 21, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I feel like I can go where I want to go,’ producer tells Mixtape Daily . By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Cristopher Schafer and Samuel Rogers Lex Luger Photo: MTV News Behind the Beats: Lex Luger Last year, Virginia native Lex Luger emerged on the scene as a producer on the rise with a pair of breakout numbers: Waka Flocka Flame’s rumbling “Hard in da Paint” and Rick Ross’ industrial-strength banger “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast).” This year, however, he’s already showed a more diverse approach to projects, a full-length effort with Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J and the first single from Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne joint LP. The young beatsmith — who, like Big K.R.I.T., learned how to produce using the PlayStation video game “Beat Generator” — expects to showcase his range in 2011. “My sound is hard, but I want people to hear another side,” Luger said. “I got R&B, pop, everything, and I want people to see that and hear that. I feel like I could do that now because of this Kanye West and Jay-Z record. I feel like I can go where I want to go.” Bow down. Five-Star Stellar Hits Rick Ross’ “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)” : “To take something that a lot of people thought was nothing and to turn it into another dimension of sound was crazy to me,” Luger said. “The reaction from people that I saw was crazy to me. That’s when I really knew this is what i wanted to do.” Waka Flocka Flame’s “Hard in da Paint” : Luger said he was in Atlanta the first time he heard it. “I don’t listen to the radio or go out that much; I just work,” he explained. “When I got to Atlanta, I think I was on the way back from the airport and my boy turned on the radio. My boy was like, ‘Yeah, this is it.’ I said, ‘Turn it up,’ and it felt crazy.” Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “H.A.M.” : ” ‘H.A.M.’ really came about in New York City. Me and Kanye, we had did ‘See Me Now.’ I played him a lot of beats, but he liked the ones that I didn’t expect him to like. I left, like, eight beats with him; he called me, like, two weeks later and he said he wanted, for sure, two. That was one of the ones. … I sent him the track out. He did what he did to it, still I didn’t hear the song. I couldn’t hear it until everyone else heard it. Working with Kanye was crazy. I can’t really explain it. He’s a perfectionist. He has to have everything perfect and out the ordinary, 10 times greater than everything. He’s a crazy guy, but he’s fire.” Hottest Streak Thus Far From 2010 up to now: He produced smashes from Ross, Waka, Slim Thug and his recently completed Juicy J mixtape, Rubba Band Business . Currently, he’s hoping to get in the studio with Curren$y, Drake, Nipsey Hussle and Wiz Khalifa. For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out . Related Artists Kanye West Jay-Z

UFC President Dana White Says Women Will “Never” Fight In His Octogon

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sounds like the UFC isn’t trying to let the ladies catch fade, but we can’t figure out why. Everybody likes to watch a cat fight. White briefly confirmed that heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez is doing well in his recovery from surgery, then was asked, “When are we going to see women in the UFC?” White replied, “never.” Fortunately for those of us who want to see women in the Octagon, White has shown in the past that “never” does not mean what he thinks it means. White himself has acknowledged that his “nevers” often don’t last. Before James Toney stepped into the Octagon, White said, “I said I would never put on a freak show. I’m putting on a freak show.” Other examples of White going back on his “never in the UFC” words: When Karo Parisyan pulled out of his UFC 106 fight, White declared he would never fight in the UFC again. When B.J. Penn spurned the UFC to go fight in Japan in 2004, White told him he’d never fight in the UFC again. When Chuck Liddell was knocked out by Shogun Rua, White said Liddell would never fight in the UFC again. So what makes me think women in the UFC will some day be added to the list of Dana White “nevers” that weren’t really nevers? The primary reason is financial. Right now, there’s not a female actively fighting who could make a big enough difference to the UFC’s bottom line for the UFC to sign her. But there was a time, just a couple of years ago, when Gina Carano was becoming popular enough that White and Lorenzo Fertitta contacted her about possibly entering the Octagon. That didn’t work out, and right now there’s no female draw comparable to Carano in 2009, but there’s no reason another female fighter couldn’t gain enough popularity outside the UFC to make White want to see her in the UFC. But there’s another reason I think White will change his mind: Giving women a shot in the UFC is simply the right thing to do. C’mon Dana, don’t be an idiot, “never” never means “never” it just means “until the money gets right”. In the illustrious words of one Mr. Christopher Bridges aka Ludacris “Let them hoes FIGHT, and pull they weave out!” Source

Is Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never” Movie a Must Watch?

Posted on January 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Just barely legal to do ANYTHING in this country, Justin Bieber has the world, and every tween and teeny bopper (and some grown women) hanging on his every word. With his young voice, his ALL THE WAY fly style (which I can’t even hate on. Cause his shoe point is on point) and who can forget the hair. Now he is adding a film to his repertoire. Never say Never named after one of his songs (of course) will hit both 3d and 2d theaters February 11th (a day before my 21st birthday). Now I’ve watched the trailer and this seems quite interesting. (or not!) It is basically a documentary of Justin Bieber’s life and how he was into drumming from a young age and the movie continues up until current day and the latest craze of Bieber Fever. (glad I don’t have that) If you’re a Bieber fan, I suggest you go to the doctor before seeing this movie cause you just might pass out during the movie. There is an incredible mixture of old family movies, of Justin as a child (lol oh wait he still is a child) No but seriously, it’s good that his family took the time to document Justin making beats on chairs, playing the piano, playing the guitar because it is quite obvious that has paid off. Also mixed in is some of Justin’s You Tube video. Which we all know was how was discovered. (I need to get my You Tube game up) The movie also gives a behind the scenes look at the Biebs on tour with his mentor Usher, his performances with the big names in the industry. And of course quick interviews with the ever loyal Justin Bieber fans, for without which he would be nothing. And of course to make the movie all nice and warm and fuzzy, the moral behind the movie is to never let someone tell you that you can’t do something. Hints the Never say Never title. People close to Justin, in the film attest to the fact that he was turned away by major labels. He was told that he would never sell. And bottom line – he wasn’t going to make it. And if you’ve been living under and rock or smacked on the head by a dead bird, he has proven many people wrong. Part of me, when I first saw the trailer, was like ok he could’ve had his own ‘E True Hollywood Story” and kept on moving, but I think it is a very smart business move for Justin and his team to make it a motion picture. Because I am willing to bet that he was ALL THE WAY hands on with this project, which means possible royalties from ticket sales, and of course when it’s on DVD he will be making money hand over fist. Touché Justin…Touché. I’m not sure I personally would spend my money to see this movie, and even if I wanted to, I do not want to stand in line with a bunch of screaming and over exaggerated Bieber fans. But I know the film will be a hit at the box office without a doubt.

You Just Might Be The Side Chick…

The “side chick” is one of the most maligned people this side of “the dude who stole all the money from the collection plate on the Sunday we was collecting for the baby hospital.” However, folks don’t always acknowledge the fact that the other woman might have been led to believe that she was the only woman (or that she was dealing with someone who was free to date more that one person).
