And that upside is not having to work comic book shows at Ramada Inns in New Jersey as a means of letting the public know you are still alive.
Donna Pescow, best known as the slut Annette who was after Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever at the 2008 Super Megashow and (sigh) Comic Fest in (sigh) East Hanover, NJ.

Is it Monday yet? (sigh)
huh?
Is everyone still complaining about Wendie yet still coming here on the weekends? (sigh)
No. (sigh) Just this post. (sigh)
No, it’s actually all over many, many posts from the last several weekends. It’s just driving me crazy. It makes no sense. If everyone wants to “get her fired” or whatever, they should just stop coming here on the weekends. Then traffic would take a big dive. I mean, everyone is coming just as much, but now they just want to make hilarious quips about how much they don’t like Wendie. Sorry, it’s just irritating me to no end. It’s like me going to basketball game after basketball game, and just yelling “Oh my GOSH I HAAAATE basketball!!!! It’s so fucking horrible!! It’s so dumb!! I hate it!!! I can’t wait ’til baseball starts again!!!” Just stop coming.
You know, ThatLisa, you do not have to read the comments.
They are not displayed on the main page where the posts are.
You can just ignore them. It would make the world a better place if you did.
Right on! I was just thinking about how the constant commentary on her work is getting really OLD! You know she does weekends. If you don’t like it then don’t visit! Grow up kids!
I really cant stay away on the weekends- I mean, I have ‘EBG’ up on my bookmarks bar- and when I get home I just go through all the sites like I do every day… but yes, although I am getting used to Wendie and her posts arent as pointless as they were at first, they are still kinda pointless and super long. I mean who cares that a bunch of old stars were at a comic book convention?
Completly agree with ThatLisa & Erin!!!
Lisa, I was only speaking for myself. Therefore. Not “everyone” is complaining about, “Wendie still coming here on the weekends.” If you have a problem with somebody I suggest you take it up with them specifically. I’m not your proxy to let off some steam over what other people have been routinely doing for the past several weeks.
Oh, people can’t “try” to get Wendie fired. EB doesn’t mind her, at all. She picked her.
THIS post was blah. Sorry. You needs to take the heat when you are planing on being in the kitchen. I don’t care about other people. So. No. (sigh) Just this post. (sigh)
whatever. I am just sick of all the wendy complainers. Sorry to group you into that category.
and I bet if traffic completely died on the weekends, then slowly started trickling off throughout the week, beet would reconsider. Not saying that I think she should; I like Wendie and have no problems with what she chooses to post. I enjoy her writing. I’d imagine that it would be hard to find new stuff to write about on the weekends. Check any other site. There is usually no fascinating shit going down anyway.
And now that I think of it, you kind of do serve as a proxy for me, as I do for you. That’s why we constantly get into little tifs with each other, even though people around us are saying the same things. I didn’t do it purposely this time. I read this post last and by that time got SO SICK of all the other wendie-comments. But we clearly like to argue with each other.
I third it (or fourth it), I’m sick of all the Wendie haters who think they are so cool & clever with their snide remarks too.
But I do disagree with that Claudia Christian remark- I think she looks pretty good. In fact they all look pretty normal & happy.
Why be so sick about it. Maybe bashing Wendie isn’t all that bad of an idea, now–if it drives bank. Shame on you for trying to tell these bad people to leave. They make both of them money; poor EB and Wendie won’t be able to pay their bills because of you. Wendie’s kids will go hungry, and poor Leo will have to wear sweaters with HUGE holes in them—in the middle of a GHASTLY winter (Shush Beet I know, the big Lie.) You should be shamed of yourself for letting a cute little dog go out like that, Lisa. And, the kids.
You’ve got the definition of proxy twisted. For me, you never stood in for someone else. I always addressed my issue with you–with you. You on the other hand, unusually, just before, addressed your issue with some other people–with me. Whatever.
Snide remarks? The ones that got Lisa’s blood boiling on another post were sincere and illiterate. Waste of time there.
Oh and we do agree at times. Censorthis has the best post on Hillary the Cardboard.
I’m a Wendie hater, I think her posts are dumb and only rarely amusing. I do still pop in on the weekends though just like everyone else simply because it’s a celebrity blog site and I’m at home with nothing to do, hence I check the sites on the internet that I have bookmarked. Nothing in myspace new ~ check. Puppy cam ~ still cute ~ check. Lolcats ~ lol ~ check. Checkin in on the celebrity gossip (Evil Beet) ~ even though it’s the weekend and I don’t think Wendie is very clever but it’s in my tabs ~ check.
I’m sick of all the Wendie lovers who know she’s not very clever but they look after her like a puppy because now they’ve gone and gotten their backs up like a mother bear. So, now they insist that she ‘is too’ funny and we should leave her alone or stop visiting a site that we normally enjoy and are allowed to visit. I mean really, if Wendie and Sasha can be c*nts and make fun of celebrities why do you think they need you to protect them?
I think Donna looks awesome, really. Great skin. Nice energy in her smile. She looks happy! Aged much better than old Johnny T. has.
This blog entry needed WAY more Saturday Night Fever references, though. Donna played one of movie’s greatest roles of all time.
But I still like you, Wendie. You are a funny and spirited writer.
:-)
Um, I like Wendie. She is brutally honest, funny and keeps things brief.
This lady was also on one of my favorite shows as a kid “Out of This World”. So very sad. What happened?
I think Wendie’s funny, and talented, and she’s not getting fired anytime soon. For the record, she’s been working here for several months now, and traffic hasn’t taken so much as a tiny dip on weekends.
Of course traffic hasn’t taken so much as a tiny dip on the weekends. Those of us who dislike Wendie still check in to see what’s new in the gossip, and then we stick around to insult Wendie. It’s a win win for you really. And those people who think Wendie is funny stick around to support her and defend her. Again a win win for your numbers. Which is why, I suspect, you have no intentions of firing her any time soon.
Has it been ‘several months’ since you hired Wendie? Hmmm, that’s probably why I have disliked your weekend posts for ‘several months’ now. I’ll still come back to check the gossip and hate on Wendie though… but don’t feel too bad there Sasha, I don’t like you all that much either lately.
heres the truth:
even if you did stop coming on weekends because wendie was posting, on monday when you got to work you’d read beet’s posts. then youd keep scrolling down and reading. then later you’d end up reading wendie’s posts anyway because you are either bored or you didnt realize when beet ended and wendie started.
puppy cam is almost ending :(
ok beefy.
I think she is funny and talented too. I really like her other blog.
Oh, and Abbi, I actually got into the (sometimes horrible yet so addictive) habit of reading the comments a couple months ago. I usually find it really interesting to see what other people have to say about the subject at hand. Sometimes people have really different points of view, yet are able to explain things in a way that I can at least see where they are coming from. It’s interesting.
I just get annoyed when it’s just a bunch of “I hate Wendie” bs. And I am sorry if me reading the comments is having an overall negative effect on the WORLD. I had no idea I had that sort of power.
to Hmmm the first part of ur post was pretty funny, because its pretty much exactly what i do when im bored. except maybe not lolcats or puppy cam but you know, along the same lines.
the second part of your post was so true. i dont care if wendie gets fired or not. but if her posts are boring, or seem like shes trying too hard, im going to point it out becuase i can. this is her actual job, she actually gets paid for doing this. she shouldnt mind, doesnt criticism make you stronger anyway?
I like wendie :)
I like that this sucky post has gotten so many comments.
ThatLisa, why do you care if people don’t like Wendie’s posts?
You are free to comment that you DO like them.
That’s that. Trying to start arguments over it? Dumb.
I care because it annoys the hell out of me. It’s annoying. Just like me calling it annoying has annoyed you. Hence your comment. It’s all a big circle of us all annoying each other.
You do realize that you are also taking part in the same conversation that you are chastising me about? Dumb.
i am going to provide back-up for lisa at this time. it is annoyingly obvious that some people comment negatively on wendie’s posts, when if beet wrote it they’d be in agreement with her.
Well, I’m not really annoyed. I just think it’s a silly thing to get upset about. People can react to posts as they please, and as long as they’re not being especially vulgar or speaking in ALL CAPS or something, I don’t see what’s wrong with giving a simple opinion (even if it is one you may disagree with).
Leaving conversation now.
You know… I used to knock Wendie when she first started writing because she sucked, but then people on here would say, “if you don’t like her writing… start your own celebrity site!”
So I did… and I love it
but it’s not as easy as it looks. It’s fun as hell, but not easy. So I give Beet a lot of credit.
As far as traffic not taking a tiny dip on weekends… That’s probably because it’s taken a huge dip on ALL DAYS. This site’s Alexa ranking
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/evilbeetgossip.com
and comScore Media Matrix have fallen immensely and EvilBeet has been overtaken by some other pretty shitty celebrity sites… including Flisted (which is probably one of the worst celebrity sites I’ve ever read) and most of the Celebuzz-managed celebrity sites.
I’m guessing this is why Beet is posting more often and has started adding posts during the mornings hours (Eastern Time)… If traffic was “fine” then why change?
I mean let’s be honest… This blog is not the best looking, or most technologically advanced site out there. It’s strengths primarily lie with Beet’s writing style (which I have to admit is one of the best I’ve read) and the site’s longevity hence it’s Search Engine Optimization. In the last few months the quality of writing has plummeted with the constant spoon feeding of propostion 8 posts, vegan posts, and Wendie’s weekend posts…and readers have responded.
So don’t knock the people who STILL come on here to slam Wendie for her shitty writing… This site can’t afford to lose them.
you have too much fucking time on your hands, kid.
may the traffic “didnt take so much as a tiny dip” on the weekends but it sure took a dip in general the beginning of october (when wendie started) and hasnt recovered since….
Coincidence?
If you don’t like it, don’t comment.
END OF.
You wendie haters are getting really tiresome.
You basically said that this girl would be better off dead. That’s a crappy, ignorant thing to say.
@TSS
Um, try doing an Alexa search on evilbeetgossip.FILM.com, k?
And I’m not posting in the early morning. WordPress just released a new version of their product which fixes the scheduled posts feature — it had been broken in the past several releases — so I can schedule posts to run in the early morning now. It’s something I’d always done up until about 6 months ago when it stopped working in WP.
I hired Wendie because I was tired of working on weekends. And traffic hasn’t taken even a tiny dip since I hired her. In fact, traffic hasn’t taken a significant dip in years. It’s always lower in the summer, but that’s about it. We consistently out-pace FListed and ALL the Celebuzz sites in traffic, and by a great deal, too.
Jesus, you talk a lot of shit for someone who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about.
Sasha, my lost child… though wilt please refrain from taking my holy name in vain you hedonistic Jack Ass.
For all of God’s creatures are created the same, but all of God’s websites ARE NOT. If thou art to do an Alexa search on thine Heavenly MacBook Air…thou willest see:
evilbeetgossip.FILM.com has a rank of 1,967
but lo and behold a search of just FILM.com by itself reveals that it too has a rank of 1,967….
Fear not my ignorant vegan pegan, for this is not the hand of God at work, but merely that Alexa does not provide separate subpages and subdomains as proven here in thine heavenly scriptures:
http://www.alexa.com/site/help/?index=12
So please takest thine rod and thine staff out of thine ass and listen to what people tell you…
Now go in peace and pray that your loyal followers shalt NEVER read or speak of this evil post and its display of dumb assness. And more importantly thou shouldest leave poor TSS alone…
…for God has put more venerable brains in his penis than in your entire Zoloft intoxicated head.
omgosh TSS. please tell me that you actually renamed yourself Jesus Christ.
I thought I had too much time on my hands. Holy moly.
creepy.
TSS Please please tell me how to find you so I can replace the beet with your site in my bookmarks! Please, because thine amuses the shit out of thoust!!!!
OMG. These comments are over the top, and I think the horse has gone and killed itself at this point.
