Source: Danita Delimont / Getty Fans Mourn The Death Of A Trailblazer Kevin Fret was known by many as the first openly gay Latin trap artist on his way to stardom. But unfortunately, his life ended in tragedy on Friday when he was shot and killed in Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was only 24 years old. According to Billboard , Fret was shot on his motorcycle around 5:30 a.m. local time and he passed away at the Medical Center of Rio Piedras. The case is still under investigation and the motives behind the shooting have yet to be determined. In an official statement, Fret’s manager, Eduardo Rodriguez confirmed the news: “Kevin was an artistic soul, a big-hearted dreamer. His passion was music, and still had a lot to do. This violence must stop. There are no words that describe the feeling we have and the pain that causes us to know that a person with so many dreams has to go. We must all unite in these difficult times, and ask for much peace for our beloved Puerto Rico.” Fret first gained major attention when he dropped his single “Soy Asi” in April 2018. The music video has close to 700,000 views on YouTube and in an interview with Paper magazine , Fret described how he wanted to be as authentic as possible with his debut. “I had everything in my mind, like the day I come out [in Latin trap] as a gay guy,” he said. “I’m going to make my first video and I’m going to be showing my stomach, and I’m going to act like I don’t give a damn about what anybody has to say — with my blonde hair, my black nails, showing my stomach, glittery from head to toe.”   In the wake of Kevin’s death he’s already received an outpouring of condolences from fans and celebrities alike. Q ueer Eye  stylist Jonathan Van Ness,  tweeted “Another beautiful artist taken too soon & another reason why being an ally is so important. # RipKevinFret .” Another beautiful artist taken too soon & another reason why being an ally is so important. #RipKevinFret https://t.co/YTesj3wc9P — Jonathan Van Ness (@jvn) January 10, 2019   Meanwhile,  My So-Called Life  actor Wilson Cruz wrote, “This is INFURIATING! My heart aches for all of # PuertoRico , but especially the family of # KevinFret . So much tragedy STILL in the aftermath and politics of # hurricanemaria but ignored by our federal govt.” This is INFURIATING!

El Regreso Del Tramposo: Cardi B And Offset Seen Jet-Skiing Together In Puerto Rico

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Cardi B And Offset Seen Together In Puerto Rico “Firssssst of awllll, muthaf***asssss, ya awl mahhhh corny!” We imagine that Cardi B ‘s next Instagram live session will start something like that after the internet berates her for enjoying a family vacation with her d-distributing husband, Offset. According to TMZ , the estranged (?) couple were seen canoodling and laughing in Puerto Rico while they rode on a jet ski together. It appears that Offset is still in full “win-my-baby-back” mode, but we’ll see how long that lasts. Quality time aside, Cardi has a performance tonight in San Juan for the Electric Holiday festival. We can already hear Twitter arguing about whether or not this was all a publicity stunt, especially since Cardi dropped the “Money” video today . What say you? How much of this is fact and how much is fiction?

Nadine Velazquez Nudity of the Day

Posted on November 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Nadine Velazquez is a 40 year old Puerto Rican actress who I guess likes to show her tits. Who doesn’t like to show their tits, that’s the whole reason they have tits, especially when they work in the entertainment industry, I mean how else does a girl become an actress who has starred alongside Denzel Washington in roles you probably don’t remember, an IMDB page to differentiate her from some gutter sex worker…. I’ve done posts on her before because I like to fixate on people who show their tits, and I’ve probably called her an immigrant stealing your jobs, because I am ignorant and don’t realize that Puerto Rico is part of your country, even on this day before American Thanksgiving…a time for American Pride to unite the country…or the white people on how they took over the country by tricking all them indians… Point being, never too old to be slutty, even when you’re too old!

Wet Storms: Donald Trump’s Most Ignorant Moments During Hurricane Relief Efforts

Posted on September 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

See the original post here:

Source: MANDEL NGAN/AFP/Getty Images / Getty Unfortunately, over the last few years we’ve witnessed some major hurricanes that haves caused devastation across U.S. territories. In 2017 alone, the U.S. was hit with multiple Category 4 or more hurricanes, including Hurricane Harvey (which hit parts of Texas and Louisiana), Hurricane Irma (which hit various Caribbean islands and parts of Florida) and Hurricane Maria (which hit various Caribbean islands, including Puerto Rico). Each hurricane has caused major displacement and devastation amongst residents, and now in 2018, parts of the Carolinas and Virginia have been tragically hit by Hurricane Florence. Relief efforts after each hurricane continues to be a challenge and our current commander-in-chief isn’t necessarily making things smoothers. Even though Donald Trump has made appearances to places hit hard by hurricanes, his insensitive rhetoric and just plain ridiculousness continues to make people wonder how this man became president. Hit the next pages for a teaser of all the outrageous things Trump has said in the midst of tragedy.

She recently stood up for her former place of work that is in danger of being shut down permanently. The Bronx bombshell recently took to social media to advocate justice for Love & Lust, a gentleman’s club she used to dance at that has been closed by the city. “Justice for LUST!!! Come on now that’s f - - ked up, never a shoot out, nobody ever got murked. Its like you can’t win for s - - t!!! OPEN THEM LOCKS.” Source: INSTAGRAM @IAMCARDIB / INSTAGRAM @IAMCARDIB Since opening in 2014, owner Imran Jairam claims his venue has been unfairly targeted by local police with summons, raids, fines and more. More recently he alleges the NYPD also came in looking for a bribe. In 2017 Jairam says  Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez visited his nightspot looking for free services including round-trip airfare to Puerto Rico and generators for the island post Hurricane Maria. Love & Lust have since filed a $125 million dollar suit against the State of New York. The NYPD Captains Endowment Association president has commented on the allegations directly but only saying the nightspot is “looking to shift focus from their bad conduct.” You can view Imran’s interview with The Breakfast Club detailing the history of issues below.

So Sad: Puerto Rico Is Closing 283 Schools Due To Huge Drops In Enrollment Following Hurricane Maria

Posted on April 8, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

RICARDO ARDUENGO/AFP/Getty Images Puerto Rico To Close Nearly 300 Schools This Summer Puerto Rico’s Department of Education announced on Thursday that it is going to close 283 schools this summer. This comes following a sharp drop in enrollment amid the island’s long economic slump, and of course the continued departure of families after the effects of Hurricane Maria. Education Secretary Julia Keleher said that even though they’re closing a large amount of facilities, there will be no layoffs. Teachers and other employees are set to be reassigned to other schools, which is part of a fiscal plan that aims to save the department somewhere around $150 million. Right now, The U.S. territory has more than 1,100 public schools that serve 319,000 students–but a large fraction of that is going to be chopped this summer. Keleher commented on the impending closures saying, “We know it’s a difficult and painful process. Our children deserve the best education that we are capable of giving them taking into account Puerto Rico’s fiscal reality.” She also said that enrollment has dropped by more than 38,700 students since just last May, and that nearly half of the schools are using only 60 percent of their capacity. After the closures, 828 public schools will remain operational. Keleher said she has invited mayors in the island’s 78 municipalities to propose new uses for the shuttered schools. Aida Diaz, president of a union that represents some 30,000 teachers, said she and others would fight the closures. She said in a statement to The Associated Press , “The damage that the Secretary of Education is doing to children, youth and their parents is immeasurable.” There’s more to worry about than just the number of schools being closed. Those who oppose the closures are worried about transportation, along with the needs of special education children; Somewhere around 30% of Puerto Rico’s students receive specialized education, which is twice the average on the U.S. mainland. This stark drop in enrollment comes as roughly a half million people have fled Puerto Rico for the U.S. mainland in the past decade due to their long recession–an estimated 135,000 of those have been since Hurricane Maria in back in September.

Alyssa Milano Destroys Matt Damon Over Sexual Harassment Comments

Posted on December 16, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When it comes to the debate on sexual harassment and misconduct in Hollywood, Alyssa Milano has just made it very clear: She’s the boss. The actress – who has been as responsible as anyone for promoting the #MeToo movement and who has been a vocal supporter of every woman who has recently spoken out – took to Twitter on Friday night and straight up owned Matt Damon. The typically beloved star has been criticized mightily over the past 24 hours. He spoke to Peter Travers of ABC News this week and made far too many attempts to parse the differences between various acts that have gotten men in trouble of late. From Al Franken resigning from the Senate for grabbing the butts of women… to Louis CK admitting he masturbated in front of women… to Matt Lauer being fired for alleged rape and other heinous behavior, countless stars have gotten in major trouble for treating women with disrespect. Asked about this watershed moment in the country, Damon initially told Travers: “I think it’s great. I think it’s wonderful that women are feeling empowered to tell their stories – and it’s totally necessary.” But then he kept going, sticking his foot deeper and deeper into his mouth. “I do believe there’s a spectrum of behavior,” he said, stating the obvious and missing the point of the #MeToo movement. “There’s a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right? “Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated.” Minnie Driver, who co-starred with Damon in Good Will Hunting, immediately shook her head over Damon’s comments. “There are so many men I love who do NOT frame the differentiation between sexual misconduct assault and rape as an excuse or worse- our problem. Such bollocks,” Driver Tweeted. But Milano went even further. Focusing especially on Damon’s assertion that men are being punished these days because we live in a “culture of outrage,” the actress took the actor to school. She also explained why rape and the occasional sexist comment may be different, but they contribute to the same thing. “Dear Matt Damon, It’s the micro that makes the macro,” Milano wrote to open her response. Continued Milano: “We are in a ‘culture of outrage’ because the magnitude of rage is, in fact, overtly outrageous. And it is righteous. “I have been a victim of each component of the sexual assault spectrum of which you speak. They all hurt. “And they are all connected to a patriarchy intertwined with normalized, accepted–even welcomed– misogyny.” We really can’t say any of this better than Milano, so we’re just gonna let her keep going… We are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture. We are outraged because we were made to feel this was normal. We are outraged because we have been gaslighted. We are outraged because we were silenced for so long. There are different stages of cancer. Some more treatable than others. But it’s still cancer. Sexual harassment, misconduct, assault and violence is a systemic disease. The tumor is being cut out right now with no anesthesia. Please send flowers. #MeToo View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired? BOOM, right? Game, set, match, Alyssa Milano. Most people seem to agree that Damon meant no harm with his comments and that he was just trying to be understanding. The thing is, he was trying to be understanding of the men , not the women . The best thing men can do in this climate right now is simply listen. The worst thing they can do, even the well-intentioned ones? Pretend they know best, as Damon did here.

Eminem DESTROYS Donald Trump, Jokes About Murdering Ivanka on New Album!

Posted on December 16, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Eminem has made it abundantly clear that he’s not a big fan of our current president. (And seriously, how heartbreaking is it that we still have to refer to Donald Trump as “our current president”?) He slammed Trump in a song he released in 2015 , and in another he released in 2015 , but his harshest criticism came in October when he shared a little freestyle at the BET Hip Hop Awards. He touched on the controversy surrounding the professional athletes that have chosen to kneel during the national anthem before games as a form of protest and Trump’s ridiculous reaction to them. “Now, if you’re a black athlete, you’re a spoiled little brat for trying to use your platform or your stature to try to give those a voice who don’t have one,” he rapped. “He gets an enormous reaction when he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada. All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather cause a Twitterstorm with the Packers.” Then, to his massive fan base, he stated “Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing a line in the sane. You’re either for or against, and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this.” He then flipped off the camera, making it clear that he’s not interested in sharing fans with Trump. Eminem Utterly Destroys Donald Trump in This Freestyle Rap It was all pretty intense, right? But it looks like he was saving even more vitriol for his new album. Eminem released the album, titled Revival, yesterday, and he dedicated an entire song to Trump. The song is called “Like Home,” and it features vocals by Alicia Keys. He kicked off the very first verse with “Someone get this Aryan a sheet, time to bury him, so tell him to prepare to get impeached. Everybody on your feet.”‘ “This chump barely even sleeps, all he does is watch Fox News like a parrot and repeats while he looks like a canary with a beak.” “Why you think he banned transgenders from the military with a tweet?” he asked. “He’s trying to divide us. The sh-t’s like a cult, but like Johnny he’ll only unite us. ‘Cause nothing inside drives us like this fight does.” He admitted that “our spirits’ crushed” and it’s “hard to deal” with things right now, “but there’s always tomorrow still.” “If we start from the scratch like a scab, get the scars to heal and band together for Charlottesville, and for Heather [Heyer, the woman killed in Charlottesville], fallen heroes.” In the second verse though, he really went in on Trump: Didn’t wanna piss your base off, did ya? / Can’t denounce the Klan, ’cause they play golf with ya You stay on Twitter, way to get your hate off / Nazi, I do not see a way y’all differ And all you got are race cards / Better get the swastika with your name carved in it / Should be your trademark, ’cause hate’s all you played off / And you just lick the plate off So I guess it pays to feed off of chaos / So basically, you’re Adolf Hitler / But you ain’t ruining our country, punk / Or taking our pride from us, you won’t define us ‘Cause like a dictionary, things are looking up / So much, got a sprained beck, know we would rise up against this train wreck and take a stand In the bridge, Alicia Keys sings “I won’t give up on my home, that so many died for, you already know that I won’t give up.” It’s actually pretty emotional. It’s also not the only time he mentions a Trump on the album — on a track called “Frame,” he gets a little less realistic and a lot, lot darker. The song is all about murder and just awful, violent crimes — the point is that just because he says terrible things in his songs doesn’t mean he actually does them. It really is pretty dark. In the second verse, he raps “Woke up, it was dawn, musta knew something was wrong. Think I’m becoming a monster ’cause of the drugs that I’m on. Donald Duck’s on as the Tonka Trunk in the yard.” “But dog, how the f-ck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car? Gotta get to the bottom of it to try to solve it. Must go above and beyond, ’cause it’s incumbent upon me, ’cause I feel somewhat responsible for the dumb little blonde.” So yes, it seems pretty safe to say that he has a whole, whole lot of anger for this entire family. Do you think Eminem is going too far with these new songs?

Kailyn Lowry Helps Raise Money for Puerto Rico: Exclusive Details!

Posted on November 15, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kailyn Lowry is, for whatever reason, one of the most hated of all the Teen Moms. Which is weird, because when was the last time you saw one of the moms put in so much work for such an important cause? Over the weekend, Kailyn, along with Jo Rivera and Vee Torres, hosted an event to raise money for Puerto Rico, which is still suffering after the devastation of Hurricane Maria. And the details are just so very, very touching … 1. Hurricane Maria In September, Hurricane Maria caused an unprecedented amount of damage in Puerto Rico. Dozens of people were killed, and dozens more are still missing. Even now, much of the island is left without power and clean water. 2. Teen Moms Help Out Shortly after the hurricane, Kailyn and Teen Mom OG star Catelynn Lowell began working on fundraising ideas — they even asked their social media followers for help in chartering a ship or a plane to deliver supplies to Puerto Rico! 3. A Plan After a bit of planning, Kailyn announced what she’d come up with: she would team up with her ex, Jo Rivera, and his fiancée, Vee Torres, to host a fundraiser! 4. Teamwork! Kailyn, Jo, and Vee held their fundraiser on Saturday night in Bloomfield, New Jersey — look how great they all look together! 5. $$$ Guests could make a $50 donation ahead of the gala, or they could pay $60 at the door. A portion of that money went towards Americares, a non-profit disaster relief organization that’s working in Puerto Rico right now. The rest of the money went towards their next fundraiser — more on that in a moment! 6. The Details! Kailyn exclusively spoke to us about the event, explaining how it went and why it was important to her. “Catelynn and I really wanted to come up with a relief fund after what happened in Puerto Rico,” she explained. “Since Jo’s family resides in Puerto Rico, we had to reach out to him and see what they needed and what we could do to help.” View Slideshow
