Dick Trickle Dead of Apparent Suicide; NASCAR Star Was 71

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Dick Trickle, a former NASCAR star, has died. He was 71 years old. Police in North Carolina believe that Trickle took his own life, shooting himself at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Lincoln County at 12:02 this afternoon. Officials say they got a phone call before the shooting in which the caller said there would be a dead body at the cemetery … and it would be his. Operators scrambled to call back, but got no answer. When emergency responders arrived, they found Trickle near his pickup truck. The fan favorite is said to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Trickle did leave a suicide note at the death scene, though the contents of the note are released at this time and it’s unclear if and when they will be. Dick, who often smoked while racing, won the NASCAR “Rookie of the Year” award in the Winston Cup in 1989, when he was a spry 48 years old. He won twice and notched 78 top tens in his career. R.I.P.

David Beckham to Retire from Professional Soccer

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The world of professional soccer football futball sports is about to get far less handsome. David Beckham has announced that he is retiring at the end of this season. “I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level,” Beckham said in a statement. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has also played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy, winning league titles in four countries overall. “If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I’m fortunate to have realized those dreams,” Beckham said. Beckham owns the British record for making 115 appearances with the national team. It’s unclear exactly what he’ll do when his playing days are done, but it’s safe to assume more David Beckham underwear ads are on the way. Concluded the attractive baller: “I want to thank all my teammates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed.”

Some Royal Swirl Matrimony-dom: Miss USA Nana Merriweather Wants To Be Wifed Up By Prince Harry!

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Nana wants her a ginger Prince ! SMH. What is with all these beauty queens on his firecrotch? Via US Weekly reports : At least she’s already practiced wearing a crown! Attending Prince Harry’s fundraising reception at NYC’s Four Seasons Restaurant on Tuesday, May 14, Miss USA Nana Meriwether gushed over the possibility of meeting — and falling in love — with the U.K. royal. Openly admitting to having a crush on Prince William’s little brother, Meriwether was pleased when she found out about Harry’s towering height from reporters. According to an Us Weekly insider, the 6-foot tall beauty pageant winner, 27, “giggled” when she was told that Harry, 28, is 6-foot-2 inches. “Perfect!” she announced. “We are meant to be! Miss USA is like royalty in America so it’ll be a pleasure to meet him.” Inquiring if Harry was officially single, she added, “It would make a great story — we should totally get married.” Unfortunately, Meriwether, a two-time All-American volleyball player and USC graduate student, didn’t have the chance to make a love connection. Harry, the guest of honor, was flocked by the crowd of 200, dashing Miss USA’s hopes for a romance. Moreover, Harry is reportedly dating dance student Cressida Bonas, 24, whom Harry was seen skiing with during a trip to Switzerland in February. Indeed, finding love couldn’t have been further away from Harry’s mind during the star-feted night, where Will.i.am and Sean Lennon were in attendance. While giving a speech on behalf of himself, William, and Kate Middleton, Harry thanked The American Friends of The Royal Foundation, which raised at least half a million dollars that’ll directly help “mentor and train our next generation of truly inspirational young sports coaches.” Earlier on Tuesday, Harry visited NYC’S Harlem neighborhood where he played baseball with underprivileged children and called the time there “truly uplifting.” Harry’s U.S. visit wraps up Wednesday, May 15, with a polo match in Greenwich, Conn. This chick sounds like she has been studying from the School of Kenya Moore talking about Miss USA is like royalty in the US. SMH. Chile, please! Ya need more people! Continue reading →

O.J. Simpson Requests New Trial, Claims Lawyer Botched Robbery Case

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

O.J. Simpson made his request for a new trial today, claiming the lawyer who represented him in his kidnapping and robbery case screwed him over. Guy will seriously never go away it seems. Simpson appeared in court wearing a blue jail uniform; his hair was shorter and grayer than it was during a previous court appearance in 2008. He’s also not wasting away in jail. Just saying. Guy must have the premium meal plan in there or something, because wow. Letting himself go. Anyway, he entered the courtroom in handcuffs, flanked by security guards and nodded and raised his eyebrows to acknowledge people he recognized. A marshal warned people in the audience not to try to communicate with Simpson, who’s doing 9-to-33 years in prison. No words were exchanged. Simpson, who never testified in his 1994-95 murder trial or in the 2007 robbery case that sent him to the big house, is due to testify Wednesday. His former attorney, Yale Galanter, is scheduled to testify Friday. Simpson says Galanter knew about his plan to retrieve what he thought were personal items from two sports memorabilia dealers in a casino hotel room. O.J. also said Yale never told him a plea deal was on the table. Galanter was paid nearly $700,000 for his defense but had a personal interest in preventing himself from being identified as a witness to the crimes, O.J. says. As a result, he misled Simpson so much that the former football star deserves a new trial, new lawyers for the NFL great claimed today in court. “To me, the claims are solid. I don’t know how the court can’t grant relief,” said Patricia Palm, the appeals lawyer who is spearheading this effort. Of the 22 allegations of conflict-of-interest and ineffective counsel that Palm raised, Clark County (Nev.) District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell agreed to hear 19. The five-day proceedings are technically neither a trial nor appeal. There won’t be any opening statements from either side. The judge will listen to testimony before deciding whether Simpson deserves a new trial. It’s not clear whether Bell will rule immediately. Simpson maintains the plan was to take back family photos and personal belongings stolen from him after his 1995 “trial of the century” murder acquittal. He was soon convicted of recruiting some goons to “get some heat” and robbing the memorabilia dealers, however, and was sent to state prison. O.J. was also found liable for damages in a civil wrongful death lawsuit and ordered to pay $33.5 million to the families of the two people he probably killed.

O.J. Simpson in Court: Juice to Testify in Bed to Weasel Out of Robbery Conviction

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

O.J. Simpson is expected in court Monday as he asks a judge to grant him a new trial on grounds that his former attorney mishandled his case. Nevada inmate No. 1027820, who’s serving a 9-to-33-year sentence, will be in Clark County District Court for the start of his five-day hearing. Acquitted of murder in 1995, the NFL great was later convicted in 2008 of leading a sports memorabilia heist at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room. O.J. never testified in his murder trial or in the 2008 kidnapping/robbery case when he was convicted, but is expected to take the stand now. On what grounds? And how does he think he can win? Much of his testimony is expected to point fingers at his former attorney, Yale Galanter, who Simpson believes fumbled the handling of his case. Simpson said he told Galanter he planned to confront two sports memorabilia dealers to retrieve personal items he believed were stolen from him. “I fully disclosed my plan to [Galanter], and he advised me that I was within my legal rights,” Simpson wrote, saying that his attorney knew his plans. O.J. added that Galanter told him it was acceptable as long as he did not trespass or use physical force, and that the lawyer’s mistakes did not end there. Simpson also alleged in the statement that Galanter failed to tell him of a plea deal that would have gotten him two years in prison, the AP reported. “Had I understood that there was an actual chance of conviction, I would have accepted such an offer,” Simpson wrote in a sworn statement. His appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court was denied in 2010. As his current sentence stands, O.J., 65, won’t be eligible for parole until he is 70.

Busty Becky Banger Kate Upton Puts Her Best Breast Forward For New VOGUE

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Ya favorite bangin’ becky Kate Upton just landing the modeling world’s version of Nirvana. She covers the June 2013 issue of Vogue, making her third appearance on the cover of the high-fashion magazine, her first in the United States. The cover marks Upton’s move from swimsuit model to high-fashion model. And of course her interview and the accompanying shots don’t fail to feature her favorite assets. Peep some excerpts from the interview below, via VOGUE : This year’s Sports Illustrated cover—a shot of her in Antarctica, parka open to reveal a stunning breadth of cleavage—set off a fresh round of “Is she fat?” conversations across the Internet. “It was hard at first,” she admits of hearing such rumblings. “You sit there and you’re like ‘Is something wrong with me?’ ” But she’s learned to ignore her critics—and come to regard her healthy body as a point of pride. “The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.” It doesn’t hurt, by the way, that Upton has a sense of humor about this subject. She deadpans, “It’s kind of funny to think, Oh, wow, the news is talking about whether I’m fat or not.” Upton has retained a cheerful ambivalence about runway modeling. “I’ve always loved fashion,” she says, “but it’s not what I set out to do.” Hit the flip for more photos and quotes from the interview!

F You! Accused Murderer Miami Heat Fan Shoots Bulls Baller Joakim Noah The Bird!

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

Tell ‘em why you mad son! Miami Heat Fan Flips A Middle Finger To Joakim Noah Via MiamiHerald Filomena Tobias, a Porsche-loving Palm Beach socialite once accused of drowning her wealthy husband, is the rabid middle-finger-flipping Miami Heat fan. Known as Phyllis to her friends, Tobias apparently got so hot under the halter top at Wednesday night’s Heat game that she jabbed her middle finger in the face of Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah, who had just been ejected from Game 2 of the Miami Heat’s playoff series vs. the Chicago Bulls. Like everything else these days, the less-than-demure move was caught on camera — by photographer Steve Mitchell — and the 47-year-old blonde’s finger-flip exploded like a viral bombshell. The Sun-Sentinel asked its readers if they knew the fan, and it didn’t take long for people to out her — including her daughter, who was slightly embarrassed by the episode. By noon Thursday, a cutout of the former Catholic schoolgirl’s photograph was being photo-shopped all over the web, showing her giving her famous salute to everyone from President Barack Obama to Bambi’s dead mother. “We’re humiliated,” Tobias’ daughter, Victoria Racanati, told Jose Lambiet of Gossip Extra, whose column appears in The Miami Herald. Racanati spoke to Lambiet from the family’s $4.4 million-home at The Bears Club in Jupiter. The daughter told The Sun-Sentinel her mother was far from apologetic. “People need to get a life,’’ she reportedly said. She seems like one of those “Real Rich Housewives Of Wherever-The-F**k Who Hate Each Other But Fake It For TV” type broads. SMH. Image via USA Today Sports
