Brit’s Ex-Pap Charged With Felonies

SPL14408_011 Paparazzo Adnan Ghalib, also known as creepy mind control dude currently up for a permanent restraining order against Britney Spears, has legal woes. L.A. prosecutors have officially charged Ghalib with three felonies:  assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run.  The charges stem from a January 30th incident in which he allegedly hit a process server with his car.  The server was attempting to deliver papers notifying him of the permanent restraining order request that had bee...

Ne-Yo: Chris Brown “Still My Homeboy”

12141098neyo225200963404am R&B singer, Ne-Yo, wants the world to know that, though his buddy Chris Brown beat the hell out of Rihanna, he's not willing to judge. “I saw the picture,” Ne-Yo said of the leaked photograph of a battered Rihanna. “That just really hurt me to my heart, man. Again, I still don’t know what happened, ’cause I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet. But to take it to that level really hurt my heart. All I can say is, I’m praying for both of them. They’re both in my...

Oh, This Guy Is Coming Back?

56629834andyrichter225200961422am Andy Richter will be Conan O'Brien's sidekick once more.  When Conan returns to television this summer as host of The Tonight Show, he will be going totally retro by having Richter as his announcer just as he did during the early years of The Late Show With Conan O'Brien. Andy left the show in 2000 to pursue an acting career.  I was preparing to make snarky, "How'd that work out for ya?" comments until I looked at his IMDb page.  He has done tons of stuff over the past eight years.  Nothi...

No, YOU Rock!

you_rock If you've been reading this site for awhile, you'll remember last October, when Evil Beet participated in the Blogger Challenge for DonorsChoose.org. (If not, you can read the main thread here.) Donors Choose is a VERY COOL charity organization that allows donors to pick specific classroom projects in high-poverty schools to help fund. During the month of October, you guys donated $2,325 to help fund projects that benefited thousands of students all over the United States. Then, in Decem...

Audrina Patridge Turns the Internet on Her House Burglars

gallery_main-audrina-patridge-break-in-robbery-0223090001 Audrina Patridge wrote on her blog yesterday about how her house had been burgled: I had a really rough day today - I got home late last night and realized that my house had been robbed. It was pretty devastating! I spent most of the morning filling out police reports and going through the house room by room making lists of everything that had been taken. Most of the items are replaceable, but they took off with a few very sentimental things too. Definitely not a good way to st...

Defying Sobriety

16571301cyndi_lauper224200962345pm Lord, I love Cyndi Lauper, and I love this cause, but homegirl looks like what you'd get if Lisa Marie Presley had a baby with Lindsay Lohan's coke mirror. This is seriously tragic. Cyndi showed up to Defying Inequality: The Broadway Concert in New York looking about 18 sheets to the wind. This woman can barely keep her eyes open. Her publicist never should have let her walk the carpet. Very very sad. If you'd like to learn more about the concert, or donate to this very important equ...

Quotables

lily_allen_740368a “Well, he’s hot. He’s cute, isn’t he? I had a sleep-over two nights ago and he came along. Quite young, for me. What d’you wanna know? How big his cock is? It’s very nice.” The irrepressible Lily Allen, talking about her burgeoning relationship with dancer Tom Dinsdale, in a new interview. Lily also opens up about her penchant for strip clubs: “I signed my publishing deal at Stringfellows and had a private dance. One of the naked ones. It was really embarrassing. It’s ...

Kathy Griffin Memoir Rights Sell for $2M

kathy-griffin NOT TOO SHABBY, Miz Griffin. Word on the street is that the rights to a memoir Kathy Griffin is writing sold at auction last week to an editor at Random House’s Ballantine imprint for more than $2 million. That is NOT a D-list figure, dear. I'm actually very curious to read this book. It would be cool to get a sense of what Kathy's early life was like, and how she wound up being such a hilarious woman. That kind of funny is never the result of a happy, drama-free childhood. Would you g...

Mischa Barton Says She’s Not Anorexic, and I Agree

56706339mischa_barton224200943621pm Clearly I have missed all the talk lately about how Mischa Barton's lost a ton of weight, because I haven't really noticed it. She's dropped a few pounds in the past few months, yeah, but it hasn't been, like, a gigantic Lohan-style drop or anything, and I still think she looks perfectly healthy. Mischa took to her blog to defend herself against the weight-loss rumors: So lately there's been a lot of crazy press about my weight and just so you guys know I'm happier and healthier than ever so the...
