Lindsay Lohan Scores Elizabeth Taylor Biopic Role

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The skeptics who say Lindsay Lohan shouldn’t host SNL because she does nothing other than get into legal trouble have a little less ammunition today. The actress is studying hard for the movie role she so coveted – and just got – doing all that she can to accurately portray a young Elizabeth Taylor. Lindsay just inked a deal with Lifetime to play Liz in the network’s biopic called Liz and Dick . Production on L & D is scheduled to kick off late March. Conveniently, right after Lindsay’s probation is over and done with. Lindsay is telling friends she’s taking her gig, which she lobbied hard for, very seriously and is “obsessing over getting the part right” for the film. The 25-year-old has been doing nothing but watching old Taylor movies to help her recreate the Hollywood icon’s posture, speech, and every detail. Lohan has also been reading old Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) interviews online and reading a bunch of biographies … dedication to the craft, people! She even posed with a Taylor t-shirt in those LOVE magazine pics . Lifetime is taking a hard stance with Lindsay too, demanding she complete ALL probation requirements before filming. She’s on track to … for now.

Based on these bikini pics….Dancing with the stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba needs to do a little less judging and a lot more dancing…. What lesson does this teach the youth….that getting a cushy job that you are overpaid in makes a dancer and lazy fucking person who doesn’t dance anymore…cuz what’s the fucking point…when you can afford everything you need….especially cakes…at least that’s what her belly is trying to communicate with us…. All this to say – No wonder she met her fiance on an online dating site….typical…motherfucker thinks he’s getting a ripped dancer when he sees her photoshoots and screen shots she used on her profile…only to end up meeting this…and calling her back cuz he realized she was rich and gave him access to the good life…true fucking story.

Some Nudity From Cable TV Round-Up of the Day

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The best shows on TV are the ones that have naked bitches on it….it is one of those things that I haven’t quite figured out why it hasn’t hit primetime, I mean other than all the censor boards and the trying to make the religious groups and psycho parent groups happy….but at least cable TV gives us what we need…cuz a life without nudity sucks….so a tv show without nudity would be better with nudity….for example if Roseanna had topless scenes back at her prime…I’d be a better fucking person for it…. Here are the clips I am always nervous about posting, cuz sometimes the cable doesn’t see that I’m promoting their shows, telling people to get in on it, in some free advertising….but instead as a pirate….but I’ll risk the FBI knocking down my door with machine guns…cuz the tits in these great shows you watch are brainwashing me to do it…the tits made me do it are the key excuse that holds up in court…and more importantly, I am sure if I took half a minute to find these clips they are available on 100 sites….and if the network had smart marketing people…these would be leaked by them direct…cuz we like titties…maybe all this will get me a job….that will be my defense in court….. Camilla Luddington in Californication…. Megalyn Echikunwoke in House of Lies….. Dawn Olivieri in House of Lies…. Kerry Condon in Luck

Quote Of The Day: Fired “Chink In The Armor” ESPN Employee Says His Wife Is Asian

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This should be all the more reason why he should have NOT said that ish about Jeremy Lin in the first place: An ESPN anchor suspended for using a racially-loaded term in reference to Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin defended himself on Twitter today, as the network sacked another employee for using the phrase in a headline on its website. “My wife is Asian, would never intentionally say anything to disrespect her and that community,” Anchor Max Bretos tweeted. “Wanted 2 apologize 2 all those I have upset. Not done with any racial reference. Despite intention, phrase was inappropriate in this context.” That phrase was “Chink in the armor,” a term Bretos used on air following Lin’s poor performance during the Knicks’ loss to the lowly New Orleans Hornets Friday. Bretos was suspended 30 days, and a writer who used the same phrase in a headline on ESPN’s mobile site was fired; The network did not release that employee’s name. While it can refer to a weakness, the phrase is also a racial slur against Asians. Lin, a California native of Chinese descent, is the first Asian-American to start an NBA game and has become an international sensation since the previously-unknown player exploded off the bench and led the Knicks on a seven-game winning streak. “I don’t think it was on purpose or whatever, but (at) the same time they have apologized. And so from my end I don’t care anymore,” Lin said after leading the Knicks to a 104-97 win over Dallas today. “Have to learn to forgive, and I don’t even think that was intentional. Or hopefully not.” ESPN called the phrase “offensive and inappropriate” in a statement today. “We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin,” ESPN wrote. “His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN. Through self-examination, improved editorial practices and controls, and response to constructive criticism, we will be better in the future.” SMH. He’s photographed above with his half-Asian baby.

ESPN Apologizes for Racist Jeremy Lin Headline

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We all make mistakes. Especially at 2:30 a.m. But ESPN made a doozy early this morning. Following the New York Knicks’ first loss with phenom Jeremy Lin starting at point guard – at home, to the woeful New Orleans Hornets, with Lin turning the ball over nine times – the self-proclaimed World Wide Leader in Sports plastered its mobile homepage with the following headline: The Asian epithet – which is meant differently in the context of that phrase, of course – was removed after about a half hour and the network then released this statement: Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake. The Knicks had won seven straight games heading into last night’s contest, with Lin’s record-breaking play earning praise around the country. Sarah Palin even talked about the Harvard graduate … for some reason.

Jersey Shore Recap: Who Nibbled at Deena’s Cake?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

That’s not a euphemism or double entendre. It was a legitimate question Thursday. This week down at the glamorous and totally disease-free New Jersey Shore … JWoww and Rog patched things up, Sitch and Paula grew closer, Deena “did sex” with some schmoe, while someone ate her and Snooki’s special cake for Danny! How did it all play out in Seaside Heights? Let’s recap Jersey Shore , THG style! Deena and Snooki decide to make an apology cake for their boss. It’s not a meatball cake, but it is made and frosted and decorated by them with love. Aww. Plus 12 . Once morning came, a corner of the cake was eaten! MIKE! Minus 6 . Deena ends up with cake in her face. Again, not a euphemism. Plus 4 . After she says “I wanted him to get the full-on cake,” Danny gives it to her, in the grill. Cake or no cake, Snooki was late to work again, as she goes to the doctor to get treatment for her UTI . Minus 15 for us visualizing the state of Snooki’s UT. She’s had 10 UTIs in the past year she says. How is that even … Minus 10 . Snooki and JWoww accuse Situation of stealing a piece of the apology cake, but it turns out it was … Pauly D! Minus 7 for the (unlikely) false accusation. “Don’t cook a cake in my house and expect me not to eat it,” he says. Fair. Plus 5 . Deena apologizes for blaming The Situation. He’ll find a way for you to make it up to him later, believe us. That or he’ll blackmail you. Either way, Plus 6 . Fortunately, Jenni and Roger did not split. Basically, Rog is “like 65 years old,” according to Deena, so he doesn’t play games. Umm, what? Eh, Plus 8 . The Situation wishes Paula a happy birthday and tells us that she’s his “main squeeze.” Aww! Then it’s birthday sex time. For Paula. Dirty. Plus 12 . Paula tells Sitch he makes her feel special. Time to wife her up, Mike. Since that only means “date” in the Jersey Shore world, you can handle it. Plus 6 . Besides, his actual wife, The Unit, is still in Miami. Plus 3 . Snooki breaks her one-drink rule at the club. Minus 17 , because it can’t be called a rule if it has never once been adhered to. Every night’s an exception. Vinny takes Pauly D on a lunch date. Bromance at its best! Plus 12 . Been awhile since we’ve seen proper GTL (not GTGVB ), followed by a romantic lunch. Ronnie and Sammi let loose at the bar. These two have not fought

MSG Taking Heat Over Jeremy Lin Fortune Cookie Pic

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

File this under Sounded Funny at the Time. MSG Network is facing backlash after the New York Knicks TV crew flashed a graphic of the team’s Asian-American star Jeremy Lin … coming out of a fortune cookie. Following the Knicks’ seventh straight win Wednesday night, MSG showed viewers an image featuring point guard Lin’s head in between ends of the broken snack. “The Knicks’ Good Fortune” was the fortune. CNBC’s Darren Rovell was the first to post the image on Twitter, pointing out that MSG was “walking a fine line” with the offensive image of Jeremy Lin. Lin, who has come out of nowhere and taken over the league in recent weeks, is the NBA’s first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent. Reaction was less measured in the hours that followed. Some on Twitter called the graphic “a tad on the racist side.” Others called it “accidental racism.” Interestingly, the fortune cookie is actually an American invention by most accounts; it dates back to San Francisco in the late 1890’s to early 1900’s. It’s loosely based on a Japanese cracker, no less. Come on MSG. Are race-based jokes like this considered okay because he’s a Harvard educated Asian-American? It’s hard to say, but MSG isn’t alone in pushing the angle. Check this out:

‘Hunger Games’ Star Wes Bentley’s Beard ‘Did Half The Work’ For Him

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bentley, who plays Seneca Crane, tells MTV News his beard ‘took two hours to groom every day.’ By Kara Warner with reporting by Josh Horowitz Wes Bentley Photo: MTV News For those of us who’ve been following the news surrounding all the comings and goings of the lucky “Hunger Games” castmembers, one of the most intriguing is Wes Bentley in the role of Seneca Crane . Not only does Bentley bring a sense of gravitas to the character, but as we’ve seen in the released photos, his costume and makeup design is especially interesting. MTV News recently caught up with the “American Beauty” actor to discuss his pivotal role in the film and how much fun he had sporting that curiously shaped beard, which, sadly, he no longer has. “I would have loved to have kept the beard but that beard took two hours to groom every day,” Bentley said. “I don’t want to spend that much time in the bathroom.” We then brought up the fact that the beard has caused quite a stir among fans, spawning its own Facebook page as well as our own tongue-in-cheek interview with the fancy fuzz . “I saw that. I had no idea my beard was so clever,” Bentley said of the interview, adding that he is flattered by all the attention the beard has received. “It’s such a cool look. Ve Neill, the makeup designer, did such an amazing job. It’s exciting that it’s getting that kind of attention.” Bentley insisted that all the credit for the design of the beard goes to Neill, and that all he did was grow out everything as much as it could go. “I usually come to set with a beard and my hair as long as I can get it so there are options. I saw Ve before we started shooting and she was excited I had a beard because she had something special in mind. It was all her. She went at it for like three hours trying to find the right shape; it was cool.” Bentley joked that having the peculiar design on his face did half of his acting work for him and that he sometimes wishes he kept it. “The beard did half the work,” he joked, later admitting that he got a few curious glances whenever he ventured out to run errands during filming. “I did go into Target a few times late at night with the beard, because my son was there, it was a little odd buying baby formula with this beard and some of the makeup on.” What questions do you have for Wes Bentley’s beard?
