Posted on December 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Katt Williams PUNISHES Audience Member With Mic to the Head

Posted on December 10, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Increasingly erratic comedian Katt Williams full-on CRUSHED an audience member with his mic, hitting him upside the head hard after warning people not to record his show. Katt was performing at the Paramount Theater in Seattle last Friday: Katt Williams Hits Audience Member Katt subsequently addressed/ threatened the audience , saying: “It could happen to you. Record me and go ahead and see what happens to you. Go home and get your raggedy pistol and bring it back. I already got mine.” Ironically, another fan was recording the anti-recording attack. The mic-whipping victim, Carlos Casto-Lino, has since filed a $250,000 lawsuit against Katt and the theater, citing a concussion and contusions on his head. He certainly got hit hard enough for that to be feasible. The brutal mic attack comes just days after Katt Williams’ slap of a Target employee, an event that took place while he was being sought by police (obviously).

Hostess Officially Closes 2012

Posted on November 23, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As Hostess closes, the Montreal Gazette spoke to one worker with two decades plus at the brand. And while the Hostess closure left him in an unenviable spot, he still says that the alternative — accepting the far lower-wage job — was far worse: “’They’re just taking from us,’ said Kenneth Johnson, 46, of Missouri. He said he earned roughly $35,000 with overtime last year, down from about $45,000 five years ago … ’I really can’t afford to not be working, but this is not worth it. I’d rather go w

Hope Solo and Jerramy Stevens: Married!

Posted on November 15, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

U.S. women’s soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo and former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens were married Tuesday … one day after Stevens’ domestic violence arrest . Seattle’s KING5 reported Solo and Stevens wed Tuesday night in a small ceremony near Snohomish, Wash. Only close family and friends were in attendance. Dave Mahler, a sports-talk radio host on Seattle’s KJR, also tweeted the big news: “Confirmed: Jerramy Stevens and Hope Solo were married tonight.” “Events of yesterday morning didn’t change plans. Sounds like more facts comin.” Stevens, 33, and Solo, 31, applied for a marriage license Thursday, November 8. Stevens was arrested early Monday for fourth-degree domestic violence assault. He was not charged and was later released by a judge due to lack of evidence. Kirkland police say the case was still under investigation, and charges could be brought later if prosecutors and police find other evidence, a police said. According to the police report, Stevens said he and Solo had been arguing over whether they would live in Washington or Florida after the marriage. Solo appeared in court Tuesday but left without saying anything to reporters. Police in Kirkland responded to a disturbance at a home around 3:45 a.m. Monday involving a physical altercation between eight people during a party. Officers then determined based on information and observations that there was probable cause to arrest Stevens for investigation of fourth-degree assault. Court records show the victim was Solo, who received a cut to her elbow. Solo’s 34-year-old brother, Marcus, called 911, and that he and Solo told officers there was a party and blamed the disturbance on 2-3 unknown men at the party. Marcus Solo told police he used a stun gun on one of the men, who left the party before police arrived, according to court records. Then it gets weirder still. According to court documents, a police officer found Stevens, “who appeared to be hiding,” lying between the bed and the wall in an upstairs bedroom. Jerramy Stevens told officers he was sleeping on the floor and didn’t hear the fight. The officer saw signs of a fight, and dried blood on Stevens’ shirt. The officer noted in his affidavit for probable cause for arrest that he arrested Stevens: Based on his admission that he argued with Hope Solo The injury to her elbow Signs of a fight in the bedroom where Stevens was found Blood on Stevens’ shirt One 32-year-old woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of a hip injury, and another man suffered multiple bumps, scrapes and contusions. Stevens was selected with the No. 28 pick of the 2002 draft by the Seattle Seahawks after playing at the University of Washington. He played in the NFL for nine years. He also was arrested on reckless driving charges in 2003 in a Seattle suburb and in 2007 when he was charged with driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Ariz. In 2010, while he was playing for Tampa Bay, he was arrested the night before a game for possession of marijuana. He was released immediately – by Tampa.

U.K. group One Direction will be the subject of a film by the Oscar-nominated director in a project that will be produced by X-Factor producer Simon Cowell.

The five-some quickly became one of the competition’s all-time popular acts. They finished in the final three, but more importantly, they amassed a massive fan base. In March 2012, One Direction’s debut album, Up All Night , made a splash stateside, making them the first British group to have a debut album enter the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at number 1. The band has sold over 13 million records worldwide and today the group released their sophomore album, Take Me Home , which includes the hit single, Live While We’re Young . The TriStar Pictures project is set for an August 30, 2013 release, which lands on Labor Day weekend in the U.S. and Canada.

Posted on November 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The trailer opens with a gender-bending Alan Cumming meeting a guy at a cabaret, but the frivolity appears to end there. After the pair get together with his closeted lawyer partner, Cumming’s Rudy befriends a developmentally disabled adolescent who is being neglected by his mother. The story goes from there in what turns out to be a fight for civil rights and the welfare of a child. Director Travis Fine’s Any Day Now won Audience Awards at the Chicago, Provincetown, Tribeca and Woodstock film festivals in addition to other wins in Seattle and Outfest. Official Log-line: Inspired by a true story and touching on legal and social issues that are more relevant now than ever, Any Day Now tells a story of love, acceptance, and creating your own family. In the late 1970s, when Marco (Isaac Leyva), a teenager with down syndrome who’s been abandoned by his mother, is taken in by committed couple Rudy (Alan Cumming) and Paul (Garret Dillahunt), he finds in them the family he’s never had.  However, when their unconventional living arrangement is discovered by the authorities, Rudy and Paul must fight a biased legal system to adopt the child they have come to love as their own. Music Box Films will release Any Day Now in theaters December 14th. Watch the video on YouTube
