Hayes Grier: Seriously Injured in Dirt Bike Accident

Posted on July 29, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hayes Grier has been hospitalized. The Internet sensation, who is one of the most popular stars in Vine, got into a serious accident yesterday while riding his dirt bike. News of the crash and of Grier’s tenuous condition was first made public in a Tweet by his brother, Nash Grier. “Just got a call on set that said Hayes was in a crash. He’s now in the hospital,” Nash tweeted to his 5.63 million followers, adding the hashtag “#PrayForHayes” to his message. It didn’t take long for this hashtag to go viral. In follow-up a series of follow-up Tweets, Nash kept fans as informed as he could be, writing of his sibling: “He can move & talk (thank god) but he’s coughed up a lot of blood. That’s all I know. Praying he has a quick recovery. “Damn I hate hearing s–t like that on the phone, scared me to death.” About an hour later, Nash actually shared a screenshot of a text exchange (which he captioned with “Phew”) with more specific news regarding Hayes’ health. It’s unclear who was on the other side of the exchange, but it appears to be someone at the hospital and it reads as follows: “Your brother is pretty busted up right now. Luckily no major stuff. All scans came back negative for any internal bleeding. “He does have a concussion, fractured top two ribs and bruised lung on one side. He is in a lot of pain.” Hayes Grier is only 16 years old. But he sky-rocketed to Internet fame due to his Vine and YouTube videos. At he moment, Grier has 3.53 million Twitter followers… 5.3 million Instagram followers… 4.4 million Vine followers … and 848,000 YouTube subscribers. He competed on Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars . He was the second-youngest contestant to ever appear on the show and he teamed with Emma Slater to reach Week 7. A few hours after news of Grier’s crash went public, a rep for the famous teenager released the following statement to Us Weekly: Earlier today, Hayes Grier was involved in a dirt bike accident and immediately transported to a local hospital. Hayes suffered a concussion, broken rib, bruised lung, and multiple skin lacerations. Thankfully, he is OK and currently resting and recovering in the hospital surrounded by his family, where he will remain for the next few days. We can’t thank you all enough for the outpouring of prayers and support for Hayes!

Justin Bieber Turns Down MASSIVE Payday, Sticks It to GOP

Posted on July 29, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Unlike Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and Lenny Kravitz, Justin Bieber did not perform at the Democratic National Convention this week. But that doesn’t mean the singer didn’t make his political leanings very well known. He just did so in a more subtle manner. And a more impressive manner, some might argue. According to TMZ, Bieber was offered $5 MILLION to perform at a Republican-sponsored event during last week’s Republican National Convention. The performance would not have taken place at Quicken Loans Arena, where the gathering was held, but at a venue nearby. Insiders tell TMZ that the offer was made to CAA, Bieber’s talent agency, and that a promoter got in touch with Bieber’s people to ask if Justin would sing in Cleveland for about 45 minutes. (For those doing the math, that comes out to over $100,000 per minute.) The promoter tried to assure Bieber that the concert would not be political in any way; that he would not be asked to endorse Donald Trump or discuss policy or anything of that nature. But the event would have been bankrolled by GOP donors. Moreover, Bieber would be paid up front and the donors would cover all production costs. It would have been the single biggest payday of all-time for Justin Bieber. And he turned it down. Sources tell TMZ that Bieber did ponder the offer for a bit. He’s Canadian, after all, and could have argued that he doesn’t have much of a stake in an American election. But Bieber’s manager and close friend, Scooter Braun, is a huge Hillary Clinton supporter. He even held a fundraiser for her at his Los Angeles mansion. Braun and others at CAA believed that, regardless of the impressions they were given, the event would have been “100 percent political.” Scooter reportedly tried to negotiate with the promoter who made the offer, asking, for instance, if Bieber could hang a “Black Lives Matter” banner inside the venue while he performed. But the answer was no. And it was also made clear that Bieber could not insult Trump in any way at the show. Still… Bieber was the person who made the final decision. He actually spoke with LeBron James in order to do so because Conservative insider told Justin that the famous basketball player would also be appearing in Cleveland last week; also in a non-endorsement capacity. But LeBron told Bieber this was incorrect information. He was staying far away from his adopted hometown during the Republican National Convention. In the end, with Bieber’s all-African-American band also being turned off by the possibility, Bieber turned down the invitation. Pretty cool, huh? Pretty interesting to go inside the machinations of a political campaign and how it tries to recruit celebrities to its cause… … and even cooler of Bieber to say no to such a massive payday.

Tyga Crashes Kylie Jenner’s Launch Party: Is He Ruining Her Career?

Posted on July 9, 2016 by admin2| Leave a comment

Open those eyes, Kylie. On July 7th, Kylie Jenner was the center of attention at the launch of Pretty Little Thing’s at a private Bel Air home.  The reality star and beauty mogul has earned a reputation for slacking off on the job, so it was important for her to make a good impression at the event. “Kylie came to the party with her girlfriend last night and she was in the back being totally social with everyone for the first couple of hours,” a source told Radar Online . “But when Tyga arrived, everything completely changed. She was no longer interested in talking to anyone else. It was all about him.” #Boyzaredumb “Kylie became attached at the hip to Tyga when he arrived and it was clear that there was tension!” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner: Her 29 Raciest, Sexiest Photos of All Time Jenner and Tyga are back on again, after breaking up in May. “She was supposed to stay until the end to wrap up the party and she did not,” the source said. The 18-year old “left with Tyga long before the party ended and she did not look happy on the way out.” What’s a little scary is that Jenner posted a photo of the couple on her Facebook page, captioning it “Mr & Mrs.” Though it’s unlikely they’re actually married (Kris Jenner would have to spend at least a few weeks putting together an iron-clad prenup), the fact that Jenner’s world is entirely about Tyga is kind of pathetic. Especially since she has launched so many lucrative projects on her own. This isn’t the first time Jenner has made a marital reference to Tyga.  A few weeks ago, she took a Snapchat of a tiger-printed nail design and said “this reminds me of my husband.” Yes, she’s probably messing with us, but it’s irritating AF. “She’s young,” another source told Radar . “When you’re young, you’re going to make mistakes .” View Slideshow: Tyga: 15 Times He Proved He Was a GIANT Dirtbag

#RepresentationMatters: Marvel Comics Announces New Iron Man Will Be A Black Woman

Posted on July 6, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Marvel Comics Announces New Iron Man Will Be A Black Woman Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis recently sat down with TIME Magazine to discuss the newest twist to the Iron Man storyline and it’s a big one…. There’s a new Iron Man. Well, Iron Man for now. She’s still working on the name. The events at the end of the comic book event series Civil War II will result in Tony Stark stepping out of the Iron Man suit and a new character, Riri Williams, taking over, Marvel tells TIME. (Note: Tony’s departure doesn’t mean you know the end to Civil War II yet.) Riri is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15. She comes to the attention of Tony when she builds her own Iron Man suit in her dorm. Creator and Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis spoke exclusively to TIME about the creation of Riri Williams with book artist Stefano Caselli and Marvel’s increasingly diverse cast of characters. So, what has the reception of the new Black Iron Man been like? Some of the comments online, I don’t think people even realize how racist they sound. I’m not saying if you criticize you’re a racist, but if someone writes, “Why do we need Riri Williams we already have Miles?” that’s a weird thing to say. They’re individuals just like Captain America and Cyclops are individuals. All I can do is state my case for the character, and maybe they’ll realize over time that that’s not the most progressive thinking. But can we get some Black writers?? If @marvel needs help finding Black women writers. I can help you with this task. I know plenty. GOOD ones. — Black Girl Nerds (@BlackGirlNerds) July 6, 2016 #RepresentationMatters MARVEL/Time Magazine/Twitter

Maja Krag is Topless of the DAy

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I love with a girl and her name is Maja Krag. A model who is from Denmark, a socialist with hot tits who doesn’t look like most Danish girls – but who looks as tasty as most Danish, something you are contractually oblicated to say every time you post a Dane…a Great Dane…. According her MODEL AGENCY TEAR SHEET you can learn all about her measurements, in the event you want to make a life sized replica of her to fuck, since the real deal won’t fuck you….you’re not rich enough, connected enough, unless you’re googling her because you met her at a party and ended up here – which I doubt – since no one ends up here – it’s the asshole of the internet that no one bothers wiping… The post Maja Krag is Topless of the DAy appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Tony Awards 2016: Who Won?!?

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The 2016 Tony Awards aired live from New York on Sunday night. Although host James Corden and company were forced to take a sobering tone due to the tragic Orlando shooting that took place in a gay nightclub just hours prior to the event. “Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity,” Corden said to open the ceremony, adding: “You’re not on your own. Your tragedy is our tragedy. Hate will never win. We have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol of that principle.” And that show did have to go on, despite the death of 50 people in Florida.

Lin-Manuel Miranda Honors Orlando Shooting Victims with Sonnet

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Leave it to Lin-Manuel Miranda to find a powerful, unique way to honors those killed in the Orlando shooting early Sunday morning. The creator and star of Hamilton, which dominated the 2016 Tony Awards last night, made a powerful statement while accepting the Tony Award for Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre category. It was written in sonnet form and it opened by thanking his wife, before Miranda moved on to paying tribute to the 50 victims who were killed inside a gay nightclub . “We chase the melodies that seem to find us until they’re finished songs and start to play,” Miranda said. “When senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised, not one day.” He later added: Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. “I hadn’t written anything going into today. I hadn’t heard about the day’s events until after our Tony rehearsal,” Miranda said backstage after the ceremony, during which Hamilton won 11 awards including best musical. “I’d always had this time between rehearsal and tonight to think about what I’d say if I was lucky enough to be called up, and it sort of informed all of it… “We live in this world where beautiful and horrible things exist at the same time and often on the same day. … Theater doesn’t exist without the LGBTQ community. It’s the cornerstone of our industry.” Earlier in the Tony Awards, host James Corden also honored the victims of the Orlando shooting. “Hate will never win,” he remarked in pre-taped remarks before the event began. Take a look at Miranda's full sonnet below and join us in honoring those who died in this senseless act of ignorance, hate and cowardice in Orlando.
