Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Quotables

Adrian Grenier at Emmys "I think she’s absolutely wonderful. I really like her, genuinely. So, there’s that. Just genuine human-to-human appreciation. But she also has a very unique experience that I’m curious about. It’s an experience she’s been intertwined with for many years. Well beyond the many years I’ve had to experience this sort of celebrity situation. So, you know, we’re sort of helping each other out. We’re sort of mutual mentors. We're not [dating]. W...

A Note from Management

The good news: Evil Beet's grown by leaps and bounds in the past few months. Readership had sky-rocketed, and I love you guys for that. The bad news: Lots of down time, as those of you who are regular readers have probably noticed. It's become a little ridiculous in the past couple of days, and I'm sorry for that. So, we're moving to a new server, better equipped to handle this traffic. The really, really bad news: Starting at 11 pm PST tonight, the site will be down for up to 24 hours while the server migration takes place and the new IP address is propagated. Hopefully it will not take that long, and everything will be peachy by tomorrow morning, but I just want to give you guys a heads-up in case you can't get on the site tomorrow. xoxo, Beet />The good news: Evil Beet's grown by leaps and bounds in the past few months.

Tracy Morgan Doesn’t Think Jimmy Fallon is Cute

morgan.jpg And neither do I, after his recent decision to marry Fat-Arms. Morgan -- who managed to score two DUIs last year -- told the October issue of Penthouse that he and his SNL castmates were bothered by Fallon's "laughing and all that dumb shit he used to do. He wouldn't mess with me because I didn't fucking play that shit. That's taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, 'Oh, look at me, I'm the cute one.' I told him not to do that shit in my sketches, so he...

Everyone’s Ditching Britney

britney_vma21.jpg Her lawyer jumped ship yesterday. And now her manager -- who's only been with Brit a couple of months -- decided to go his own way, too. Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm -- who repped Kelly Clarkson before she fired him -- released the following statement: "It saddens us to confirm media reports that we have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears. We believe Britney is enormously talented, and has made a terrific record. But current circumstances have prevented us from prop...

Someone’s Had a Little Bit to Drink

Hayley Duff Leaves Les Deux Hayley Duff and her very pleasant entourage leave Les Deux over the weekend. Look, a memo to all the non-famous girls who hang out with famous girls and like to pretend to hate the paparazzi: stop. You're not famous, no one's taking your photograph, and if you'd like to not be in the photograph, just move five feet to the right and no one will get a picture of you. You know why? Because no one cares about you. Because you're not important. So stop acting like you are. Photo credit: Buzz ...

Mary-Louise Parker Adopts a Baby from Africa

Mary-Louise Parker Adopts Baby Girl from Africa Yup, someone else has jumped on the Angelina bandwagon. Emmy-nominated M-L P picked up a baby girl from the faraway land, and she was spotted with the new tot on her way to the big event this weekend. Her reps confirmed the adoption, but declined to provide any more info. Okay, did anyone see the interview she did on the red carpet with Giuliana? What the hell was going on there? She was such an annoying bitch. Giuliana handled it really well, but still. ...

We’re Back

Sorry for no posts today. I was flying from LA to NYC. It sucks, you lose a whole day. But I'm back now, and there will be no more traveling for another couple of weeks. />...

Is This the Emmys or the VMAs?

We have plenty of very qualified television writers around the blogosphere, and I'll leave the analysis of the Emmy ins and outs to them. Instead, I'd like to focus on a topic I hold dear to my heart: cussing.

On three separate occasions, the Emmy censors had to earn their paycheck by bleeping words out of the live broadcast. The first instance was Ray Romano, who joked about his former on-screen wife, Patricia Heaton, "f*&%ing" her new co-star, Kelsey Grammar. Emmy censors just cut away from the shot for awhile.

Sally Field noted that "if the mothers ruled the war, there would be no goddamn wars in the first place." You can say "damn," I think, but you can't bring God into it; she got bleeped.

And Katherine Heigl, ever a class act, greeted her Supporting Actress Emmy by mouthing the word "shit." She, too, got censored.

In happier news, there were no wardrobe malfunctions, and no washed-up rock stars beating each other up over a washed-up pin-up girl. So I guess we don't have to start airing the Emmys on MTV yet. I mean, Fox is bad enough.
