Posted on November 20, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The rumors are true! After less than a year of dating, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are engaged to be married, multiple sources have now confirmed! Appropriately, the Gossip Girl actress, 27, and The O.C. actor, 33, are best known for those two breakout television shows created by Josh Schwartz. It’s a match made in teen dramedy heaven! Leighton Meester, Adam Brody Engaged! The resolutely private couple, who were “always close and friendly,” have rarely commented on their relationship since it turned romantic in February. With the exception of a handful of affectionate, low-key appearances together in and around Hollywood, they’ve kept things to themselves. A good move. Clearly, it’s working out for them! Adam previously dated Lorene Scafaria and his former OC co-star Rachel Bilson for three years. Leighton had a two-year romance with Sebastian Stan. “Right now their plan is to get married next summer ,” an insider says. As for Leighton Meester and Adam Brody’s wedding venue, “they’re still deciding [between] a destination wedding or [marrying] in Southern California.” Come on. There’s nothing like Newport, right Seth? Er, Adam? Congratulations to the happy couple!

Knockout Game: Teens Try to Drop Strangers With One Punch, Apocalypse Nigh

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A rash of new “knockout game” incidents, in which teens assault strangers with the goal of knocking them out in one punch, have surfaced in recent weeks. Community leaders are calling for an end to the violence after teenagers in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia have been caught on camera. Their violent actions have led to hospitalizations, and even deaths. Knockout Game Approaching strangers and knocking them to the ground with one punch to the face or head, the brutal violence is all in the name of a game called “Knockout.” The “game” has also spread to Massachusetts, Illinois and Missouri. A woman was approached eight males on bikes last week when one reached out, punched her in the head and rode away, NBC’s News4 reported. A 78-year-old woman fell victim to the pavement 10 days ago in Brooklyn, making her ninth purported “Knockout” victim in New York this year. Authorities are investigating the senseless attacks as hate crimes, as some of the attacks appear to have targeted members of the Jewish community. The alarming trend gained national attention back in May after a 51-year-old man actually died in Syracuse, N.Y., thanks to a group of teenagers. In the same month, a 20-year-old man was sentenced to 55 years in prison after he similarly struck and killed a man in St. Louis back in 2011. NBC10 in Philadelphia also reports that the online trend #SmackCam uses the Vine app to capture people being unexpectedly slapped in the face. What started out as a (mostly) playful game spawned by boredom turned awry as more violent depictions of the game began popping up on social media. Compilation videos on YouTube, such as this one below, are very popular: SmackCam Compilation Clearly, a pie to the face and skull-crushing blow to the back of the head from a stranger are different things. But is #SmackCam a gateway of sorts? Regardless, what does it say about society if “knockout” is even a game?

Kim Kardashian: Exposed as Weight Loss Cheater?!?

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kim Kardashian has been exposed. No, not in the Bound 2 music video , although Kanye West is definitely cradling a topless Kim Kardashian in that bizarre footage. And not in the pages of Playboy back in the day, although, let’s face it: there are plenty of Kim Kardashian nude photos to go around from that pictorial. This time, though, the exposure in question relates to Kim’s post-baby weight loss. Kardashian has claimed she shed over 70 pounds largely due to exercise and the Atkin’s Diet , but Life & Style alleges otherwise. It says surgeon Simon Ourian worked on Kim’s body, to the tune of $80,000, and transformed her back into her old self via a handful of “secret procedures.” But we guess the secret is now out! Or is it?!? “I am very frustrated today seeing reports that I got surgery to lose my baby weight!” Kim just Tweeted in response. “This is FALSE. I worked so hard to train myself to eat right & healthy, I work out so hard & this was such a challenge for me but I did it!!! “I’m so proud of my accomplishment & NO ONE will take this away from me with fake reports! Say what u want about me but I work hard & am the most disciplined person u will ever meet!” We actually do believe Kardashian in this case. She probably did work the weight off. After all, it’s not like she has anything else to do all day.

Congratulations! Kerry Washington Is Toting A Gut Full Of Baller Hubby Nnamdi Asomugha

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Congrats are officially in order! After much speculation it has been confirmed that Kerry Washington is definitely pregnant. According to US Weekly reports : Kerry Washington, like her Scandal alter ego Olivia Pope, sure knows how to keep a secret. The 36-year-old actress, who married NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha in a super covert ceremony in June, has yet another surprise on the way — a baby! As the new issue of Us Weekly exclusively reveals, the Scandal star is pregnant with her first child. “She’s about four months along,” a pal tells Us of Washington. (Thus far, the mom-to-be has kept any hint of a baby bump concealed under roomy dresses.) This will be the first child for the Emmy-nominated beauty, who married San Francisco 49ers cornerback Asomugha on June 24 in Hailey, Idaho. According to reports, the couple first started dating in the summer of 2012; Washington was previously engaged to actor David Moscow. Asked about her top-secret wedding in an interview with Glamour magazine in September, the Django Unchained actress said she had “learned through experience” that talking about her personal life just “doesn’t work” for her. “I’ve had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it,” she explained. “But I couldn’t just turn around and say, ‘I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff.’ So I just thought, ‘Okay, no more.’” That said, Washington isn’t trying to dupe anyone. “I’m walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you,” she said. “But I’m going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold.” For more on Kerry Washington’s pregnancy — including her morning sickness, her style, and how this might affect Scandal — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly. Pretty sure we all saw this coming from a mile away. Congratulations Kerry! Now we can’t wait to see if the “Scandal” writers work in a baby for Olivia… Who do you think the Daddy would be?

Leah Remini: Scientology Looking to Make Example of Me

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Leah Remini has opened up further about her leaving the Church of Scientology after she was subpoenaed to testify in a new lawsuit against the church. Remini split from the church in July, and feels that Scientologists want her to fail on Dancing With the Stars as an example of what happens if one leaves. Leah Remini DWTS Rehearsal Not the case so far. After last night’s non-elimination Dancing With the Stars results show, she’s already made the halfway point of the season so far. When she left the church, the former King of Queens star said she did so because Scientology officials were controlling and intimidating toward members. In 30 years as a member of the church, Remini served a one-year stint in the elite ” Sea Org ” religious order and was friends with high-profile members. The star was subpoenaed to testify on October 15 in a case against the church earlier this month, but the church has postponed her deposition indefinitely. Former member Monique Rathbun is suing the church and its leader, David Miscavige , for harassing her and her formerly Scientologist husband, Marty. Because of what Remini could divulge, lawyers for the church said they “don’t particularly want that deposition taken,” attorney Marc Wiegand said. “ “But we’re entitled to discovery on matters that are relevant, and this is relevant.” “Who knows what may come up,” Ray Jeffrey, counsel for the plaintiffs, said.

Switching It Up: Watch Your Back La La! Dice Gets A Makeover For Hype Hair

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Watch out La La! Cousin Dice is stepping her game up in the October issue of Hype Hair. Inside the issue Dice gets a full makeover and discusses appearing on “Full Court Life” and her new anti-bullying campaign. She also reveals she’s been doing some event promoting but you know we were most interested in her makeover. Here’s what she had to say about it: It was actually a cool experience. I enjoyed it. The shoot allowed me to have my own glam squad for the day. The stylist was amazing, and having celebrity photographer Drexina Nelson do the shoot was the icing on the cake. But those shoes were hard for me to walk in, not to mention how bad they hurt. They were not my comfortable Jordan sneakers that I’m used to wearing. I brought my mother along with me for the experience and she loved seeing me, her only daughter, as “Candice,” all glammed up. Seeing the smile on her face was nice. Sweet right? Drexina Nelson Continue reading →

Government Shutdown Mocked By N.Y. Daily News, World

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The first government shutdown in 17 years, which is in effect as of this morning, has people everywhere pointing fingers and/or scratching their heads. In a nutshell, the federal government is closed after Congress could not reach an agreement on the funding to keep it running past September 30. The GOP-controlled House passed a short-term funding bill conditional upon a repeal of a medical device tax and a one-year delay in the implementation of Obamacare. Clever way to block policy labeled as toxic since it passed in 2010? Pointless, desperate political gambit? All depends who you ask. The Democratic-controlled Senate and President Barack Obama weren’t having any of it, and with both sides at an impasse and no end in sight, here we are. Government Shutdown Mocked Around the World Will Republicans’ hard-line approach resonate with Americans? Will it have consequences – either good or bad – for the GOP in future elections? That’s for the pundits to speculate on right now, but the Republican House majority does not see itself as at fault (unlike the New York Daily News cover above). Rather, they say Obama and the Senate Democrats brought this upon America because of their failure to negotiate or listen to what the people clearly want. Or so they claim. Either way, it’s little surprise that blame is being cast on both sides and the jokes are flying freely throughout the nation and world at this debacle. Talk to THG: What do you think of the government shutdown?   Love it! Suck it Obamacare! Hate it! It’s both pointless and harmful! Wait … what’s going on? Is Breaking Bad really over? View Poll »

Dina Manzo on Real Housewives of New Jersey Return: Fire Jacqueline Laurita!

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Just a few days after its latest season finale, The Real Housewives of New Jersey casting carousel is spinning furiously. Teresa Giudice is desperate to return. Caroline Manzo is leaving for a spinoff. And Dina Manzo may become a series regular once again. Dina Manzo: Returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey? An insider says Dina “wants to come back,” but she has one very strong condition for her return: She “wants [Jacqueline Laurita] fired first because she is afraid of fighting with her,” a source tells Huffington Post blogger Tom Murro. Manzo walked away from this Bravo franchise way back in June 2010, blaming Danielle Staub at the time and saying her ex-costar was an angry, “very troubled lady.” Dina is now separated from her husband, but needs to be financially independent in order to file for divorce. “If Dina makes enough money on her own then she can leave her husband, if not she’s going back to him,” an insider tells Radar Online. “She’s already attempted a few shows to further herself but they fell apart. RHONJ was her only option to stay in the limelight for now.” And if Manzo does make a return to the series that made her sort of famous? “The onion will be unpeeled next season,” teases this same source. Do you hope to see Dina Manzo back on The Real Housewives of New Jersey?   Yes, I love her! No way! Who?!? View Poll »
