Meghan Markle vs. Camilla Parker Bowles: Royal Feud Alert!

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When Meghan Markle reached out to British sex workers last month, the gesture was likened to past philanthropic campaigns spearheaded by her mother-in-law Camilla Parker Bowles. Like Meghan, Camilla prides herself on championing causes that other public figures prefer to look away from. So when Meghan made it clear that she intends to focus on less photo-op-friendly causes like addiction, mental health, and the dangers faced by sex workers, it was widely assumed that she and Camilla enjoy a close relationship with a foundation of shared values. But according to a new report from Radar Online, that’s very much not the case . As you’re likely aware, Meghan is feuding with just about everyone these days. The reports of the Duchess of Sussex locking horns with Kate Middleton have gained the most tabloid traction, but there have also been reports of Meghan feuding with Prince William , Prince Charles, and just about everyone else in the Royal Family, with the possible exception of the Queen. Now, it seems Camilla can be added to Meg’s ever-growing enemies list. And according to Radar, this feud is getting uglier by the day. “The drama with Meghan and Kate is nothing compared to what’s going on with Camilla,” an insider tells the site. “Camilla doesn’t really talk to Meghan,” the source adds. “She is snobbiest and least friendly.” Apparently, Camilla’s complaints are the same as the other royal traditionalists who think Meg’s not deserving of her title. Bowles reportedly doesn’t like that Meghan is American, a former actress, and famously headstrong. (There have been widespread reports that Meg is being treated unfairly by so many Brits due to her race, but we’ll leave that speculation for another time.) “Camilla even told her ‘this is real life and you’re not an actress playing a role,’” says one tipster. “Meghan has tried everything to get Camilla to warm up to her and nothing has worked. “She wants to be close to her, but Camilla isn’t allowing it.” As Charles’ second wife after Princess Di, Camilla is certainly accustomed to being treated unfairly by the British press. One would think that she and Meg would be able to bond over that shared experience. But apparently, Camilla’s the type of bully who likes to pay it forward.

Jon Gosselin Spends Quality Father-Son Time With Collin: See The Pics!

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Now that Jon Gosselin has his kids , Collin and Hannah, family activities take on a whole new meaning. Recently, Jon had a father-son outing with Collin, and Collin got to bond with Jon’s girlfriend at the same time. And yes, there are photos. Collin looks great! Jon Gosselin uploaded a slew of new photos over the weekend. “Great weekend with Collin and Colleen,” Jon captioned the series of pics. He notes that he had a good time at “Philly Auto Show and The beach!!!!” Most of us wouldn’t consider February the best time to visit the beach. But judging from these photos, Jon, his girlfriend Colleen, and his son Collin had a great time! A lot of kids get dragged along to go to whatever events their parents want to do. It’s part of why childhood sucks. But Collin had a smile on his face and appeared to enjoy the Philly Auto Show. Apparently some people like cars, and Collin — who is just a few months shy of being 15 years old — might be one of those people. More to the point, it must be so nice for him to be once again out in the world and experiencing life. He’s no longer imprisoned at that “special facility” where Kate had kept him confined through birthdays and holidays. Jon Gosselin brought Collin home for the holidays and it was a relief to longtime fans. Jon has two of his kids, Collin and Hannah, but he’s not exactly a single parent. He lives with his girlfriend, Colleen, whom he was sure to note was also with him and Collin on their outing. Bundled up for the winter weather, Jon and Colleen spent some time outdoors. They even visited the beach. Is it a little counterintuitive to visit the beach in February? Yes. But unless you’re planning on going for a swim, it might just be the best time of the year to do so. No crowds! Seeing Colleen and Collin stand side-by-side is so nice. Kate alleged that Collin’s “special needs” prevented him from getting along with people and caused him behavioral problems. The truth, Jon has explained, was that Collin does not have special needs . Many fans have speculated that Kate’s issue was that Collin is just someone who thinks for himself. To Kate, this was a “challenge” that made him too much trouble to have around the house. Clearly, for Jon and for Colleen, they understand that Collin is just a person who is almost 15. It’s such a relief to see Collin and Hannah in a loving household. Jon was awarded physical custody of Collin after Kate failed to even show up to court. Pro tip: if you want to win your custody fight, it helps to actually show up to the courthouse. It makes a better impression on the judge. Of course, Jon also loves Collin enough to have him in his actual house, so one could argue that it’s part of a pattern between the parents. Everyone is rooting for Collin and Hannah to live their best lives now that they’re out of Kate’s clutches. Jon isn’t going to win any father-of-the-year awards, but he’s doing all that he can for his kids. That has to count for something.

Kim Kardashian: Seeking Comfort From Plastic Surgery as Marriage Crumbles?

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rumors that Kim Kardashian wants to divorce Kanye West have been circulating pretty much from the start of their marriage. Of course, one of the many things that sets Kim and Kanye apart from most celebrity couples is the fact that these rumors are 100 percent believable every time they pop up. After all, no one thought these two would last as long as they have, and somehow, Kanye seems to only be getting crazier as the years go on. It’s no secret, for example, that West’s love for Donald Trump created some friction in his marriage last year. And despite their efforts to keep up appearances — and the fact that they’re soon to welcome a fourth child — it appears that Kim and Kanye are still navigating a difficult rough patch. For Kim, it seems the situation reached rock bottom status when she began to feel that Kanye’s actions were making her family unsafe . With the help of a good marriage counselor and a whole lot of patience, Kim has reached the point where she’s willing to try and make things work with her troubled husband. But not surprisingly, the process has been anything but easy. And so, Kim has been doing what she can to manage the stress caused by her difficult marriage. Of course, she’s never been a boozer, she leaves the pot smoking to Khloe , and retail therapy will only get you so far. So how does Kim take the edge off after another hard day of coping with Kanye? Why, by going under the knife, of course! Yes, according to Radar Online, Kim loves undergoing minor cosmetic procedures in order to take her mind off of her home life. “She’s looking pretty good so these laser treatments are unnecessary,” an insider tells the site. “But Kim says they make her feel better about herself and that’s why she’s having them.” Unfortunately, there are only so many nips and tucks a human body can endure. “She’s spending a small fortune and running out of parts of her body to operate on,” the source adds.  “But Kim just loves going to the surgeon’s office and says it’s an empowering, soothing feeling to get these nips and tucks. “It helps her feel better about everything in her life – including her rocky marriage!” Hey, whatever works. Besides, it’s not like anyone in Hollywood has ever paid a horrific price for going way too far with plastic surgery. [Checks notes] Correction, it seems many, many people in Hollywood have paid a horrific price for going too far with plastic surgery.

Ryan Edwards Relapsed Right After Rehab, Source Claims

Posted on February 1, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Following his arrest last summer, Ryan Edwards checked into a rehab facility for a stint of 90 days. The time away cost the former Teen Mom star significantly, considering he missed the birth of his second son. But it was for a worthwhile cause, right? If it meant the ex-MTV personality would get clean and sober and be there for his family for the rest of his life? If it had worked out that way, yes. Absolutely. But a source now tells Radar Online that Edwards relapsed almost as soon as he left the aforementioned facility, a claim that does jibe with what we heard in early December: That Edwards was spotted out and about , drinking heavily. “He was good for about a week [and] then went back to hanging out with the same people that do drugs and go out in all the bars,” an insider alleges to this website, adding: “He wasn’t any better since he got out of rehab.” Earlier this month, Edwards was arrested on charges of theft and heroin possession . It marked the third time he’s been taken into custody due to drug use or ownership. According to the police report, Ryan skipped out on a bar tab of $36 after consuming six drinks, only to be tracked down by local authorities in Tennessee. He was placed behind bars and will now be stuck in county jail until April . Radar writes that Edwards “fell right back” into alcohol use once he was free from rehab last fall,” explaining: “The sad thing about our town is that you can go to rehab, but those same people are still here doing the same stuff.” It can be difficult to move on from your past when surrounded by reminders of it, this is so very true. Ryan’s wife, Mackenzie, has shared multiple photos (above and below, for example) of Edwards and their new son, Jagger, on Instagram, trying to pretend as if everything went back to normal as soon as he returned home. But it’s clear now this was a facade. Does this mean Mackenzie will leave Ryan at last? Is the marriage in jeopardy? Has she come to her senses? No, no and no, sources say. “She’s going to get over it,” this informant says. “She doesn’t care at this point. She’s all in with him.” That’s pretty sad, huh? Mackenzie may think she’s doing what’s best for her child, but is forgiving Ryan every time he messes up really what’s best for the family? It’s clear he hasn’t learned his lesson and clear he has a significant problem. There’s a fine line between being there at all times for the one you love and enabling a drug addict, you know? Be careful walking it, Mac. As for how Maci Bookout feels about Ryan’s latest run-in with the law? Click below to find out. View Slideshow: Maci Bookout Reacts to Ryan Edwards Arrest: D’uh!

Blac Chyna is a Neglectful Parent to Dream, Kardashians Accuse

Posted on January 30, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Over the weekend, Rob Kardashian was allegedly unable to hand over Dream because Blac Chyna was MIA . Chyna was partying it up in Hawaii even though it was her turn to have custody of their daughter. Apparently, the Kardashians believe this is part of a pattern — and that Chyna isn’t properly caring for Dream. After Rob and Chyna’s latest parenting dispute, People   spoke to an inside source for insight into how the Kardashians are viewing this situation. “Regardless of the issues that Rob is dealing with,” the insider begins, acknowledging Rob’s relative lack of success. “It’s pretty clear that the environment that Rob and his family can offer Dream is the healthiest for her,” the source continues. “Rob always wanted Dream to spend time with her mom, too,” the insider insists. “He has never wanted Chyna to be cut out of Dream’s life,” “But,” the source explains. “He also doesn’t want Dream to be raised by a nanny while her mom is off partying out of state.” Having nannies is one thing, but what’s the point in a custody drop-off if the other parent is in a different time zone? Blac Chyna spent the weekend in Hawaii with her boyfriend, 30-year-old Kid Buu. Apparently, their entire group was “being inappropriate in several ways” at the Honolulu Ritz-Carlton at which they were staying. They were by the pool, and an inside source shares with People that they were making asses of themselves. “The girls were showing nipples, they were twerking, and just being obnoxious,” the insider characterizes. Some of that was even captured on video for all to see. Then, of course, came the chilling part. Chyna got into a physical fight with Kid Buu at their hotel in the wee hours of Monday morning. It’s said that their disagreement began verbally, with Chyna accusing Buu of cheating on her. At some point, possibly hours later, things escalated to a brawl. Chyna is said to have scratched Buu. Buu is said to have slammed her into a wall repeatedly and to have choked her. That is absolutely terrifying. “Rob’s family always had issues with Chyna,” the source tells People. “Her public behavior in the past few days,” the insider notes. “Certainly isn’t going to give her a Mother of the Year award.” “Chyna has long acted like her number one priority isn’t raising her kids,” the source characterizes. “This is very hard for Rob’s family.” “They don’t feel like Dream is properly cared for when she is with Chyna,” the insider expresses. “They find it to be a sad situation,” the source explains. “Dream is the cutest little girl.” “She is very happy and so much fun to be around,” the insider gushes. “Rob’s family just wants Dream to be raised in the best way possible.” “The family’s whole approach is ‘it takes a village,'” a source says of the Kardashian family. Case in point: on Monday, while Chyna was presumably recovering from her brawl with Kid Buu, Dream was with her aunt Khloe. Khloe took True and Dream on a precious outing for the little cousins. “Dream has so much fun playing with her cousins and being around Rob’s sisters,” an insider tells People . “They all love her very much,” the source affirms. “Rob stays with Kris,” the insider notes. “So Kris also helps out with Dream when Rob has custody.” “When Dream is with Rob, he does have help,” the source confirms. “He is a good dad, but his family also wants to help,” the insider explains. This is normal, even for smaller families. “One of Rob’s issues is that he isn’t comfortable being out in public,” the source says. “So his sisters take Dream out for fun activities with her cousins.” “Rob doesn’t want Dream to stay alone with a nanny while Chyna parties in Hawaii,” the insider expresses. “This is what he is mad about.” “She needs to tell him when she won’t be in L.A. so Rob can keep Dream longer,” the insider added. “Rob is getting his lawyer involved.” To be clear, no one is accusing Blac Chyna of not loving her adorable young daughter. But a child going on an outing with an aunt or spending a few hours with a grandmother is not the same as staying with a nanny. This is especially true when Dream’s mother is out of state. That said, we are of course grateful that Chyna’s physical fight with Buu did not take place anywhere near her daughter, Dream. We are sure that Rob feels the same way.

This Teen Got 5 Years Probation For Trying To Steal A Jet & You Won’t Believe Where He Was Trying To Go

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

More:

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty There’s something about stealing planes to go to a concert that gets a lot of people excited. It happened last summer when a man tried to hijack a plane and make his way to Beyonce and Jay-Z’s On The Run II tour–but surprisingly, that wasn’t the first time something like that happened. An 18-year-old got arrested on July 4 of last year for trying to steal a commercial jet to fly to a  Famous Dex  concert. Now, 6 months later, that same teenager pleaded guilty on Thursday for attempted theft of property and commercial burglary. Zemarcuis Scott has officially received a five-year term of felony probation on each charge, with both running concurrently, according to reports from the  Arkansas Democrat-Gazette . Scott is going to have to pay a $1,000 fine, court costs, and take part in a mental health treatment. Beyond that, he also isn’t allowed on Texarkana Regional Airport property (which is where he tried to steal the jet) during his probation. It seems hard to believe, but Scott really attempted to take the jet from the airport during the early hours on July 4 to see the rapper Dex perform in Illinois. This is all according to a probable cause affidavit and psychological evaluation report obtained by  The Gazette . When Scott took his shot at grabbing his own plane, airport security personnel had already seen him jump the property’s fence around 2:30 a.m. and called the police. When officers arrived, Scott was sitting in the pilot’s seat, later telling investigators that he wasn’t worried about flying the jet. He thought he could operate it by simply pulling levers and pushing buttons–which obviously would have turned out very poorly. He added that he’d been thinking about stealing a plane for around a month and was eyeing that particular jet since 10 p.m. on July 3. Back in August, Scott first pleaded innocent to attempted commercial burglary and attempted theft of property. His attorney, Managing Public Defender Jason Mitchell asked for a mental evaluation for Scott to see if he was competent to stand trial. Later on, in December, it was determined that Scott was indeed competent. As the people over at Complex pointed out, being so excited to attend a Famous Dex concert is something that definitely raises some eyebrows. Last October, after  a performance at UC-Irvine  went awry, a video surfaced of the Chicago rapper telling fans to get away from his car. After some refused to back off, Dex can be seen leaning out of his seat wielding what appears to be a gun. Not exactly the definition of a loving fan-to-artist interaction.

Jussie Smollett Gets Wave Of Support After Suffering Racist & Homophobic Attack

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Excerpt from:

Source: Rob Kim / Getty People are sending love and prayers to  Jussie Smollett  after he reportedly suffered a racist and homophobic attack at the hands of MAGA minions. Sources close to Jussie told TMZ that he arrived in Chicago from New York on late Monday. At around 2 a.m., he reportedly got hungry and left his place to go to a Subway. This is when someone yelled at him, “Aren’t you that fa**ot ‘Empire’ ni**er,” according to the source. The two men, who were both White and wearing ski masks, then proceeded to viciously attack Jussie as he tried to fight them off. Sources say they even put a noose around his neck, poured bleach on him and fled the scene as they yelled, “This is MAGA country.” Jussie was taken to Northwestern Memorial hospital for treatment, and he was discharged on Tuesday morning. An editor for HuffPost , Philip Lewis , tweeted out a statement released by the Chicago Police Department. “Detectives are currently working to gather video, identify potential witnesses and establish an investigative timeline,” the statement read. “The victim is fully cooperating with investigators and we ask anyone with information about this incident to contact Area Central Detectives at 312-747-8382 or report it anonymously to www.cpdtip.com .” Chicago Police Department just sent out this statement re: Jussie Smollett pic.twitter.com/DxQswZn8xd — philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) January 29, 2019   According to ThatGrapeJuice.Net , Jussie was sent a threatening letter before his attack on Monday reading, “You will die black f**.” TMZ sources say the letter was delivered eight days ago. The envelope in which the letter was sent also seemed to say MAGA in the upper left corner. Smollett plays openly gay character Jamal Lyon on Empire,  one of the few Black gay male characters on a hit T.V. show, especially when it premiered in 2015. Since the show’s success, Smollett has become more candid about his own sexuality. When he visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2015 , he told Ellen that he never considered himself to be in the closet. “There’s never been a closet that I’ve been in,” he said. He added that his decision not to talk about his personal life was not an attempt to “hide or deny who God made me.” He continued “There is, without a doubt, no closet that I’ve ever been in, and I just wanted to make that clear.” In a 2016 interview with Out magazine, Jussie clarified, “If I had to label myself, I would label myself as a gay man. With that said, I believe that love is the only thing that matters, and I would hope that anybody would leave themselves open — not to gender, but to love.” Since the vile turn of events on Monday, Jussie has received nothing but love from fans, celebrities and friends like Empire co-creator Lee Daniels. Hit the next pages to find out what people had to say.
