Today's Evil Beet Gossip

How Is This Not Going Directly To DVD?

There are rhetorical questions that race through my mind keeping me awake nights.  Like, how did the person who designed the movie poster for The Homecoming keep a straight face when he typed “In Theaters This Summer” ?  He must have called all his friends and been like, “Dudes, Mischa Barton — uh, I don’t know…she was in some show like, five years ago — anyway, she’s in some movie about a girl who gets obsessed over her high school sweetheart.  Yeah, I’m not kidding, and catch this:  it’s actually going to be shown in a theater.”

Other than the presence of Mischa, who is really an anchor in any project (and when I say “anchor” I mean “device that sinks”), the movie also stars Jessica Stroup (from the new 90210) and some dude named Matt Long.  I don’t know exactly what Matt Long has been in; some sites credit him as appearing in Herbie:  Fully Loaded but that was Justin Long.  The bottom line is this:  when you have two relatively unknowns starring in any production with Mischa Barton, it’s just a blueprint for career disaster, quite honestly.

Expect never to see Stroup or Long in anything again.  And expect to see The Homecoming in theaters July 17th.  Yeah, Cankles Barton is actually bragging about it on her blog.

  • Matt Long is from Sydney White! I don’t really remember but I think he was kind of hot lol :)

    • Uh, he was extremely hot. Especially when he sang a cappella to her in the library. Mmmmmmmmmm.

  • please, tell me there’s some actor/director called Morgan J. Freeman that is NOT the same Morgan J. Freeman from Million Dollar Baby!

  • Where’s Beet lately?

    All I keep seeing is posts from Wendie and Kells.

    Did she disappear off the face of the earth?

    • Wendie is the main weekday writer and Kelly weekends. Beet is the managing editor and only posts occasionally so that she can focus on her other blogs. She’s starting a new website which is hard work. Also she’s on a plane right now.

      • Well that sucks, how about we rename the site then? Evil Wendie? Lol

        Sucks Beet left and abandoned us for a new blog/site.. Zelda Lily? Not cool..

      • She didn’t abandon us. She’s just doing a lot of other work too. But she did leave us in great hands. You rock Wendie

      • That is true. However, why still keep up “Beet” in the name and everything else? Shouldnt Wendie get all the creds for her full time work on here?

        Just boggles my mind…

  • hahaha. i’m not sure what the funniest thing about this whole entry is.

    a) the fact that this IS in fact going to be in theaters. what?
    b) the horrible, mid-90’s poster design
    c) mischa barton actually has fans that check her blog religiously.

    take your pick. i can’t decide.

  • Get your facts straight its been only three years since she left the OC.
    Also one early review of the movie was positive(Of course that do not mean all are going to be).
    And I doubt you can call “bragging” the message she posted on her blog.

  • Matt Long, isn’t exactly famous (I agree), but even without IMDB, I know he was in “Ghost Rider” and a show called “Jack & Bobby”.
    You’re not a very good researcher…
