Today's Evil Beet Gossip

She’s #1 … AGAIN!

taylor_swift_purple Taylor Swift is UNBEATABLE. The 16-year-old phenom is #1 on the Billboard charts AGAIN. Unfuckingbelievable, Taylor. Keyshia Cole came in at #2 and Jamie Foxx's Intuition is at #3. Britney fell to #4, Beyonce to #5, and Fall Out Boy's Folie a Deux debuted at a disappointing #8. If only Ashlee had popped out twins! Seriously, though, how hard does Taylor Swift rock??? The next time this hottie superstar sees a Jonas Brother it'll be on a Where Are They Now? VH1 special. BOO-Y...

Don’t Be a Fool; Of Course Money Can Buy You Love…And a Blog

Don't get all excited.  Evil Beet is not for sale.  Under the right circumstances, she could be for rent though.  In other words, contact me if you are single, Jewish and not on a work-release program and we'll see what we can work out. Defamer, one of the more misbehaved children of the Gawker family, has been kicked out on it's ass.  Or, you know, it's for sale.  If you happen to have enough money to actually buy it, and you meet the above-listed criteria, email me.  I've got just the vegan half  marathoner woman for you and bringing Defamer to the door would go so much further than the cliche flowers and/or candy.  If you're still on the fence, I'll leave you with this:  She can suck a softball through a drinking straw.  Seriously, email me. />Don't get all excited.  Evil Beet is not for sale.  Under the right circumstances, she could be for rent though.  In other words, contact me if you are single, Jewish and not on a work-release program and we'll see what we can work out.

Dane Cook’s Manager Not a Stand-Up Guy

16170422danecook1230200865732pm I'm truly not trying to shake your faith in mankind but there does seem to be a theft and betrayal theme to the celebrity news stories tonight. Darryl McCauley, manager to comedian Dane Cook, was arrested today on larceny and forgery charges.  In one incident, McCauley allegedly transferred $3 million from Cook's account into his own.  It goes to show you how stupid criminals can be.  Did he really think Dane wouldn't notice $3 million missing?  Stealing from your boss is bad enough but here's the real Happy Holidays for you:  Did I mention tha...

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Taken for a Ride

56155564kevinbacon1230200853037pm Kevin Bacon's rep, Allen Eichorn, confirms that his client and wife Kyra Sedgwick are victims of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.  There have been rumors that they lost everything except their checking account.  Normally, I'd find that hard to believe.  Bacon was smart enough not to make a Footloose 2 and I'd like to think he'd be smart enough to not entrust his fortune to any one human being.   Eichorn responded to the rumors by saying  "Please, let's not speculate or rely on hearsay."  Seriousl...

Quotables

Brad Pitt and Sons Pax Thien and Maddox at Venice Film Festival Pictures Photos "Our seven-year-old rips it, man. He’s fantastic, so good. It’s really humiliating – but we’re really proud of him." Brad Pitt, talking to Hello! magazine about how he and Angelina are struggling to learn French, while Maddox is already nearly fluent. They pick up languages so fast at that age! Plus, research shows that learning a second language before the age of 12 makes it much easier to pick up additional languages later in life. This is why American schools need to mandate ...

Pics of Bristol Palin’s Baby Sell for $300K

bristol_palin People magazine won the bidding war for the first pics of Bristol Palin's baby -- for a $300K price tag, reportedly. According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process. The price didn't soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn’t sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands. â€...

Jennifer Aniston Continues to Kick Box Office Ass

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson Pictures Photos Take that, Benjamin Button! Marley & Me topped the box office at $36.3 million this weekend, while Benjamin Button fell to the #3 slot (behind Bedtime Stories). It's notable that Button is longer than Marley and showed in about 500 fewer theaters, but Marley still had a higher per-screen take ($10,450 to $8,987). Looks like theater-goers would rather get their holiday cheer from a desperate and childless bachelorette and a suicidal alcoholic, just so long as they're aging in the right direction. Congrats to Jen and O...

Britney’s New Love: Bollywood Dance Instructor?

Britney Spears at Onyx Hotel Concert Tour Pictures Photos There had been rumors that she was dating Benji Madden -- which I didn't report here, because they were bullshit -- but now we have some more dirt on Britney's love life. The British tabs are reporting that Britney has been hooking up with Indian hottie Sandip Soparrkar, who choreographed her Womanizer video. Britney, 27, even flew to Jodhpur for a romantic three-day Christmas break with Sandip who is a pin-up in his native India. The couple, who have been dating for three weeks, exchanged ...

Still Going Strong!

Samuel L. Jackson and Wife LaTanya Richardson Pictures Photos I love Samuel L. Jackson. Here he is at the Capri Film Festival with his wife, LaTanya Richardson, whom he met in college and married in 1980. The two have been together ever since. Not only is he still married to the woman, but he takes her all around the world with him to his promotional events. Nearly thirty years later and he still wants her around, despite the fact that his fame and his money mean he could easily flit off to Capri by himself and bed a different supermodel each night...
