On Monday, I got to celebrate my grandfather's 82nd birthday with him. "Do I get to be on your blog?" he asked. "If I'm on your blog, am I automatically an A-list celebrity?" I told him that this was not exactly the case, but that I would do what I could for him. At 82 years old, my grandfather is a daily reader of The Evil Beet and my Twitter feed. ("He doesn't know how to get started with the computer," says his wife, "but once I get him all set up he reads it for hours, and he clicks on all...
Frankly, I'm torn between the auto-play music (Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry") or the fact that his logo looks a lot like Perez Hilton's did a few years back. I'm also terribly disappointed that I haven't been added to his blogroll yet. It may be related to the scathing email I sent him after he emailed me to let me know he launched a new blog to be mean to his own daughter (he didn't respond). Come on, Mike, give Evil Beet some blogroll love. We'll link back! You have no idea how many people would ...
Everyone's getting in their Christmas proposals.
Up now: Love of my life Zooey Deschanel, who got engaged to Death Cab for Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard over the holidays.
I had no idea the two were together.
I saw Ben perform live at a Rhapsody party this summer. I would have been waaaay more interested in him if I'd known he were dating Zooey. Luckily, his good pal John Krasinski showed up to support him that night, so I had someone to swoon over. ...
How gorgeous does Cate look in the pages of this month's Vanity Fair?
She was photographed for the mag by Annie Leibovitz.
And she's wearing more clothes than Miley Cyrus was!...
Congratulations to Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston, who on Sunday welcomed a son named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.
Bristol is currently residing in Wasilla and completing her high-school diploma through correspondence courses. Levi is studying to become an electrician.
And, with that, hopefully we can now close the book on all Palins everywhere and never have to talk about this family ever again. ...
Congrats to Woody Harrelson, who finally tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Laura Louie, on Sunday in Maui.
The couple have three daughters, Makani Ravello, 2, Zoe Giordano, 12 and Denni Montana, 15.
Guess which one was the accident....

Child star Jaimee Foxworth -- who appeared on Family Matters before appearing in pornography and later on Celebrity Rehab -- is pregnant by her longtime boyfriend.
"I haven't been this happy in years," she says. "I am excited about what the future holds for us."
Jaimee plans on releasing an autobiography in mid-2009 and is working on a hip-hop album and a reality show.
"Being sober has opened my eyes to a whole new world," she says. "I've been through a lot of pain in the past and I never really wanted a child until recently. I now look forward to years of joy...
The ANTM winner (who now goes by "Eva Marcille") got engaged on Christmas Eve to her boyfriend, hottie actor Lance Gross.
"I cried," the bride-to-be said. "It was totally unexpected. I'm still in shock. I could not even sleep because I was afraid that I might wake up from the most beautiful dream ever."
Congrats to the happy couple!...
Here's Lindsay "Boots" Lohan leaving a hair salon in LA.
Love everything she's wearing, per usual.
Ya know, I don't really want Lindsay's life, but if it meant I could have wardrobe, I'd seriously consider adopting a psychotic father and a cocaine habit. ...
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren show off their undying love and their wedding rings as they take little Honor Marie out in LA on Sunday.
Okay, what do you think costs more: that stroller or a pair of Lohan boots?
And what's cuter: The baby in that stroller or a pair of Lohan boots?
I know what my vote is.

Heather Graham has been spotted all over the Capri Film Festival with Israeli director Yaniv Raz, who directed her in Son of Mourning. I hadn't heard anything about them being an item, but they sure do look awful cozy in these pics.
Also: how gorgeous is Heather Graham? She is always soooo damn beautiful. Not fair.
