L’Wren Scott-Mick Jagger Breakup Rumors Slammed By Rolling Stones Frontman

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Mick Jagger is slamming rumors that he and longtime love L’Wren Scott broke up shortly before the fashion designer tragically took her own life this week. The rocker’s rep was quick to refute this, calling “the story in the New York Post re a split between Mick Jagger and L’Wren Scott is 100 percent untrue.” In the wake of the death of L’Wren Scott , “There is absolutely no basis to this … horrible and inaccurate piece of gossip during this very tragic time for Mick.” Rumors aside, Jagger is taking time to mourn Scott, 47. The Rolling Stones frontman, 70, canceled a Wednesday Rolling Stones concert in Perth, Australia. An insider told celebrity news magazine Us that the rock ‘n roll legend is “terribly devastated,” and “inconsolable” following the death of his love of nearly 13 years. He is making plans to fly back to NYC , where Scott hung herself in her apartment, as soon as possible, and it appears his loved ones are on the same page. Georgia Jagger, his 22-year-old daughter with ex Jerry Hall, has likewise canceled a scheduled runway appearance for designer Camilla in Melbourne, Australia. “We ask that you respect Ms. Jagger and her family’s privacy at this very difficult time,” a rep said. “We offer our sincere condolences to Ms Jagger and her family.” “In light of the recent sad news, Georgia May Jagger will not be participating in Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival for the Camilla Grand Showcase.” Celebrities We Lost in 2014 Open Slideshow 1.

Miley Cyrus gets due credit for this one. After seeing a fan getting in trouble for taking a photo of her, she went off on a rant and pulled her up on stage. Granted, said rant contained six f-bombs … but nevertheless. She’s in the right!

Watch: Miley Cyrus Rant: What the F–k is That! The audio quality isn’t superb here, but it sounds like she says the following: “You can’t take a picture at a concert? What the f–k is that about? F–k.” “Someone just got in trouble for taking a picture of the f–king concert. That’s why you guys paid $1,000 a f–king ticket so you can take a f–king picture of me. F–k!” If people pay a thousand dollars to see her live, we don’t even know what to say. But we agree with her point and liked how she pulled the fan on stage, too.

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Wesley Warren, a man famous for his 132-pound scrotum and who starred on a TLC show called The Man with the 132-Pound Scrotum , has died. He passed away from a non-scrotum health issue, reports indicate. Wesley Warren Jr. Interview Wesley Warren passed away on Friday after suffering two heart attacks in 2014. He had been hospitalized for five and a half weeks prior to his death. He was only 49. Warren’s friend told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that his diabetes led to the prolonged hospitalization , and he suffered the heart attacks while there. Prior to his surgery last summer to remove the 132-pound scrotum, he used to wear hooded sweatshirts as pants as a makeshift scrotum sling. Man With The 132 Lb Scrotum Sneak Peek Warren had suffered from a case of scrotal lymphedema, a medical condition which causes the scrotum to swell with watery fluid … in his case greatly. In addition to The Man with the 132-Pound Scrotum, he went on Howard Stern’s radio show as well as Comedy Central’s Tosh.0 , making fun of his condition. Eventually, a surgeon performed a bro pono operation to alleviate his suffering, but Warren suffered from other health problems that proved his undoing. R.I.P.

Sheila MacRae Dies; Honeymooners Actress Was 92

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sheila MacRae, an actress and singer best known for playing Alice Kramden in the ’60s version of The Honeymooners , died on Thursday. She was 92. She died at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, N.J., her daughter Heather MacRae said of the star, who portrayed Alice from 1966-1970. Alice, the long-suffering, tough-talking wife of Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason), became a fixture in the “Honeymooners” sketches on The Jackie Gleason Show . For 26 years, MacRae was married to Gordon MacRae, a singer-actor best known for starring in the movie versions of musicals Oklahoma! and Carousel . The MacRaes performed as a duo for nearly a decade in nightclubs, on TV and in concerts across the U.S., and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show . MacRae acted in a few movies and appeared on I Love Lucy and other shows, taking a break to have the couple’s first child before returning to perform. She wrote in her 1992 memoir, “Hollywood Mother of the Year,” that his drinking and gambling was an issue but she wanted to stay close to keep an eye on him. Her memoir was named for an award she received the year her marriage began falling apart, and in it, she made some surprising statements about their life. During her husband’s woes, MacRae rebuffed overtures from suitors including Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers and Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Sheila McCrae turned down a marriage proposal from Frank Sinatra, she said. As troubled as her marriage was, Ms. MacRae was reluctant to divorce. “I would have had to take Gordy to court for divorce and spill all the secrets about his drinking and gambling,” she revealed much later in a 1992 interview. The couple eventually separated in 1965 and divorced in 1967. She wed Ronald Wayne the same year; they divorced in 1970. Sheila MacRae is survived by two children, Heather and William, also known as Gar; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren; Mr. MacRae died in 1986.

Drake: Rihanna "My Dog For Life"!

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lost in the hullabaloo over the Rolling Stone cover that went to the late Philip Seymour Hoffman is this critical revelation from the cover story that wasn’t: Drake and Rihanna are just friends. The “Hold On, We’re Going Home” rapper, who made headlines this week for griping about Rolling Stone giving Hoffman the cover , said as much. To hear him tell it, the once-romantic relationship of Drake and Rihanna is now strictly platonic, even though he calls the singer “the ultimate fantasy.” “I mean, I think about it. Like, ‘Man that would be good.’ We have fun together. She’s cool as s–t. But we’re just friends,” he says. “That’s my dog for life!” Well, that sounds … nice at least? Drake doesn’t have a girlfriend, not because he’s chasing girls, but just because “I haven’t met somebody that makes everybody else not matter,” he says. Rihanna, his “What’s My Name?” collaborator, seems like she could be that person, but apparently filling each other’s needs is good enough for now. The two recently rekindled their relationship – however you want to label it now – and have been spotted together numerous times over the past few months. Strictly platonically … yeah, right. Regarding the Rolling Stone cover controversy, Drake later apologized, expressing frustration with how the situation unfolded but insisting he meant no disrespect. VOTE: Drake and Rihanna …   Yes! They’re so hot together! Yes. Anyone but Chris. No. Chrianna forever! No, just not a fan. View Poll »

Teenager Petitions for Plus-Size Disney Princesses: Every Body is Beautiful!

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Should there be a plus-size Barbie ? That was a hotly debated question posed on Facebook last month – and now Jewel Moore is hoping to stir up more online chatter. The teenager from Farmville, Virginia has created a petition at Change.org that is titled “Make Plus-Size Princesses in Disney Movies!”  What was this young woman’s motivation? “I made this petition because I’m a plus-size young woman, and I know many plus-size girls and women who struggle with confidence and need a positive plus-size character in the media,” she writes on the pag, adding: “Studies show that a child’s confidence correlates greatly with how much representation they have in the media. It’s extremely difficult to find a positive representation of plus-size females in the media.”  That’s for sure. Especially when the media considers this to be an example of plus-size . Over 11,000 people have signed the petition, which Moore wraps up with hope for a more realistic image for to which countless young girls – who don’t feel they fit the Disney princess standard – can aspire. “It would be revolutionary for Disney to show support to a group of girls who are otherwise horrendously bullied by the media. It would make many young girls feel confident and worthy to see a strong character that looks like them.”  What do YOU think? Should Disney create a plus-size princess?   No, who wants to see that?!? Yes, it would set a great example! View Poll »
