Random Ridiculousness: Father Of Five Who Was Legally Pronounced Dead Reappears Alive And Well As Gay Man

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

This takes deadbeat daddy to a whole new level. Father Of Five Reappears As Gay Man According to Mail Online A married father-of-five who went missing 16 years ago and was legally pronounced dead has reappeared alive and well having started a new life for himself as a gay man. In a report broadcast on ABC’s 20/20, the man, Eric Myers, is described as having lived the American dream. The Arizona man married his high school sweetheart Anne, and they started a life having two daughters, Kirtsen and Erin, and adopting three boys from Vietnam. Things seemed to be going well for Myers, who was working for his father’s booming property business. But according to one of his friends, Myers complained about being in debt. Added to that stress was the fact that his marriage was on the rocks. Anne wanted to go to college, and that didn’t fit into deeply religious Myer’s idea of the ideal Christian housewife. Though he tried to find reasons in the bible to keep her from pursuing her education goals, he couldn’t find a valid excuse and felt trapped. They talked about divorce, but Myers wanted to do the Christian thing and stay married. Soon after, Myers attended a real estate seminar in San Diego and never came back. At first authorities suspected foul play, but they couldn’t find any evidence of a crime. Myers had completely vanished. They did find that he checked out of his hotel the first day of the conference, but kept going to the meetings. No one knew where he was or where he went. According to Myers, he was robbed the last day of the conference, so he spent the night in a seedy motel with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket. Myers said he was dealing with the stress of keeping a long-hidden secret: the fact that he was attracted to other men. Kirsten doesn’t believe that her father’s sexual orientation is an excuse for his disappearance. ‘I know a lot of people who would never do this…absolutely never blame it on their homosexuality. I don’t believe that he is capable of love.’ If he wanted to be gay, he should have admitted that and got a divorce. It is selfish to leave your daughter without a father because you’re in debt and like men. SMH. Lungmyers.com Continue reading →

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Let’s Get Real

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Real Housewives of New Jersey had “A Manzo of Her Word” but it was a little boy who stole the show. We recap the smiles and tears in this week’s THG +/- review. Someone completely stole the show this week and it wasn’t a housewife. It wasn’t even one of their husbands. It was a little boy who learned to say I love you, Mommy . Plus 50 . To be honest at first it appeared that little Nick was only repeating the words to get the lollipop but when Chris Laurita said that it had been over 18 months since his wife had heard those words from her son, I couldn’t help but be moved, no matter what the child’s motivation. Housewives usually doesn’t require its audience to use that part of the brain, nevermind their hearts. It was almost disconcerting. Not to fear. There’s still plenty of the normal nonsense to fill the hour. Especially when we get to visit with Teresa and her kids. At least they weren’t cursing at one another this week. Plus 18. But can any of them communicate without screaming? Gia seems to think she’s in charge. Milania basically tells everyone else where to get off, and Gabriella looked like she was zoning out as a means of escape. Minus 12. I couldn’t say that I blamed her. Caroline’s daughter, Lauren said that the Guidice kids were being raised by wolves. I think that might be an insult to wolves. They have more sense . Teresa’s still hanging out with Kim D. Minus 22. Why is this woman back on my TV screen? These shows always breed the hangers on, looking for more than their 15 minutes of fame. Caroline called a summit meeting with Teresa and then she ordered an iced tea. You’d think alcohol would be mandatory to get through that meal. How funny was it when Caroline told Teresa that she was sent by Joe and Teresa shot back with, “He’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel.” Plus 18 . Teresa was right. Caroline is preachy but she’s also right. Life is short. Why let the stupid stuff take over? Now if she could only use that advice to mend fences with her own sister. And what is up with Fran? She looked like a heavier clone of Dina. And she moved in along with her stray pets. Minus 8 . Caroline’s husband Albert is a saint. Is there any way they can write Kathy out of the show? She’s generally boring and her husband Rich has become intolerable. Even Kathy seems to have grown weary of his frat boy antics. When Kathy told her husband that she was trying to raise Joseph to be a gentleman, all i could think was that it would have helped if she’d married one. Plus 13 when she tells her daughter to stick with school so she’ll have better options than Kathy did. Of course if we lost Kathy then we’d also lose Rosie. Hmm…I’m not sure where that lands in the points system. Did Rosie really have to join in on the guys poker game? Just because she’s a lesbian doesn’t make her one of the boys. Minus 9. But then we wouldn’t have had Joe Gorga telling Rosie she couldn’t write off all men if she’d never tried one. That earned a serious eye roll but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Joe. Of course he needs to start expecting less. Mush less when it comes to selling his giant McMansion. A 10,000 square foot house on 2 & 1/2 acres. Minus 15 . It sounds like someone was overcompensating. It was funny to watch the faux marble crumble and the fixtures fall off as Joe and Melissa crowed about their masterpiece. And shouldn’t their realtor have told them that having their kids around for the open house doesn’t make it feel more homey…it reminds people that it’s your home. Minus 10. But I think I’ll keep my $3.8 million in the bank and out of the Jersey real estate market, at least until next week. Episode total = +11! Season total = +29!

In White Folks News: Russian Millionaire Won $1.29 Million Auction Bid To Make A Trip Into Space With Leonardo DiCaprio!

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

We know some ladies that would have LOVED to win this prize! Russian Millionaire Pays $1.29 Million At Auction For Space Expedition With Leonard DiCaprio Via NYDailyNews A trip to space with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio raised 1.2 million euros ($1.5 million) for charity at a glitzy fundraiser at the Cannes film festival on Thursday. At the 20th annual event organized by amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, DiCaprio emerged as the mystery guest to accompany the winner on a Virgin Galactic flight into space. DiCaprio stars in the film “The Great Gatsby,” which opened the 66th Cannes film festival. Actress Sharon Stone said the winning bidder would spend three days in training with DiCaprio in New Mexico before blast-off. “You don’t get to go to outer space every day with a handsome movie star,” said Stone, dressed in a tight-fitting white dress with a gold snake trim down the back. The bidding started at 1 million euros ($1.29 million). The auction brochure for the star-studded gala held at the five-star Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, near Cannes, said DiCaprio and the winning bidder would be among the first 1,000 people to leave the planet. The winner, Vasily Klyukin, 37, a Russian living in Monaco, said he had always wanted to go into space. “I want to be a bit daring,” Klyukin, who works in real estate, told Reuters. “I will have to give up smoking now for sure!” After the successful bid from Klyukin – who also bought a gold and diamond necklace for 400,000 euros ($517,000) – Stone announced two other tickets were available on the flight. They raised another 1.8 million euros ($2.3 million). We can think of a lot of other things that we’d rather do with $1.29 milli than be on a rocket to outer space with ol’ Leo, but hey, have fun comrade. Image via WENN Continue reading →

Janet Jackson, Billionaire: Star’s Net Worth Now Over $1B

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Janet Jackson is officially a billionaire, according to reports, and it has nothing to do with the fact that she recently married one – that’s just her share! The singer/actress, who quietly wed Wissam Al Mana at some point in late 2012 or early 2013 (as we said, it was quiet), is worth an insane amount. According to estimates, Jackson earned $260 million in album sales alone, with an additional $81 million coming from music and book rights. Her music career has also brought Jackson a total of $458 million in sold-out world tours, plus another $81.5 million in sponsorships and licensing fees. Janet also has a successful and impressive film career, with roles in Nutty Professor II, Poetic Justice and Why Did I Get Married netting $300 million. Altogether, that’s a staggering $1.18 billion in personal income . Only a notable few celebs, such as Madonna, Steven Spielberg, J.K. Rowling, Oprah Winfrey and of course Michael Jackson could reach that level. In February, it was revealed that Janet Jackson married Wissam Al Mana, who is 11 years her junior at 37 and hails from a wealthy family himself. The Qatar native runs 50 companies in Mideast, including ventures in real estate, automotive distribution, engineering and construction, and retail. It is believed that he, too, has achieved billionaire status. He also owns Al Mana Luxury Company and serves as director of fashion portfolios, alongside two of his brothers … yet seems like a chill guy. Probably just the kind of guy Janet Jackson needs. When you’ve got two billionaires living together, you know no one’s in it for the money, right?!

Jesus Take The Wheel: Female Enforcer Strangles Aspiring Model And Actress To Death On Her Boss’ Instructions Over A Business Deal Gone Wrong

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Crazy. This lady killed an aspiring model and was paid to do so! Female Enforcer Strangles Woman to Death According to Mail Online It is a murder mystery straight out of Hollywood – a young actress and model strangled to death allegedly by the female enforcer of a shady businessman who has fled the country. This Monday, jury selection will begin in the long awaited murder trial of Kelly Soo Park, 47, who prosecutors in Southern California believe killed Juliana Redding, 21, with her bare hands in March 2008. Prosecutors say that Park worked as ‘muscle’ – described as a James Bond-style figure for Dr. Munir Uwaydah, who sent her to ‘intimidate and threaten’ the aspiring actress at her Santa Monica apartment. Redding, originally from Tucson, Arizona, appeared in low-budget films and also modeled for Maxim magazine and was found beaten to death in her home on March 17th, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Office records. Building their case, prosecutors claim that Uwaydah dated Redding and was also in the midst of planning a pharmaceutical business with her father, Greg Redding. However, the plans for this fell apart five days before Juliana’s death according to the Los Angeles Times because Redding doubted his business partners legitimacy. While Uwaydah has since left the United States following Redding’s death, he has not been charged in the murder. Prosecutors allege though, that Park and her boyfriend worked as ‘debt collectors’ for the spinal surgeon and California businessman on at least two occasions The doctor referred to Park as ‘James Bond,’ according to court documents – Park currently remains free on $3.5 million bail. According to documents seen by the Los Angeles Times, Park was officially employed as Uwaydah’s real estate broker, but was paid hundreds of thousands of extra dollars to collect debts for him. Court documents show prosecutors allege Park received a $250,000 payment from Uwaydah just weeks before Redding was killed Investigators in the case have said that Park has been linked to the crime by DNA evidence found on Redding’s neck, however, defense attorney’s argue that the real killer is Redding’s boyfriend at the time, John Gilmore. Gilmore was cleared as a suspect in the immediate aftermath of the murder, insisting that he had several people who could offer him an alibi according to CBS News. ‘They’re trying to point the finger at Gilmore, saying he had, at one time, allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend,’ ABC News legal analyst Dana Cole said. The defense alleges that Gilmore’s assault of his fianceé Melissa Ayala casts doubt on the guilt of Park. They allege that Ayala told a defense attorney that Gilmore choked her saying, ‘that he was going to make her feel what Juliana felt. More and more people show their disregard for human life.
