Personally, I would love to learn more about Ralph Fiennes. I enjoy so many of his movies - Red Dragon, Chumscrubber, The Prince of Egypt, and of course all the Harry Potter movies - and he does seem like a super interesting dude. Not necessarily a great dude, but an interesting one nonetheless.
If you're with me in your intrigue, today is our lucky day, because Ralph just did the Proust questionnaire! Are you as excited as I am? Then let's get started!
What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Jeffrey Dean Morgan---the handsome actor who looks either like Javier Bardem or like Robert Downey, Jr., depending on the angle---is a dad. I keep forgetting he's a dad!
The dashing Jeffrey Downey Bardem recently learned the hard way that, uh, it isn't a good idea to curse around tots, least of all your own progeny:
Jeffrey Dean Morgan might want to choose his words more carefully: his potty-mouth is rubbing off on his 22-month-old son, Gus!
"I took him to dinner the other night and he said, 'Bulls-...
Jeff Newburg is one to watch. He is one of the most audaciously talented individuals I've yet had the privilege of encountering. And I'll be honest with you: it's easy to write him off because, at least in person, he's a little too good-looking to take seriously. (Ladies!)
As an actor, Jeff Newburg is subtle and careful. Which is interesting, because Everyday Newburg is emotive and animated and very loose. The interview format actually shortchanges him, and this is very much my fault: it'...

According to sources (and I'm wondering if it's the same "sources" and "insiders" and "friends" that are calling out Johnny Depp out on his split with Vanessa Paradis) they are, and it's allegedly been happening for over a year now.
From Us Magazine:
The edgy, platinum-selling "We Found Love" singer and Brown "meet up very casually," a Brown confidante says. "She comes to see him anytime she's in L.A." Explains a music industry source: "They can't get enough of each other. I don't see it ending well. Rihanna loves to live dangerously...
And here's the post where I unceremoniously mock a child for doing child things. OK? I'm just forewarning you right now of what's to come. Some of you hate this kind of shit, while others live for it, and right now I'm pandering to the latter group, if, indeed, there's any "meanies" left here in the Evil Beet crowd. OK. Deep breath. Here goes:

I know she kind of pushes the idea that she's looked the way she's looked for ... well, ever, but this yearbook photo, which emerged over the last few days, shows that Kris was not only a young woman at one point (hard to believe in itself), but relatively ordinary-looking.
The photos were taken from a yearbook that was unearthed, and are said to be dated somewhere from the early seventies. Bonus: At least she's not trying to lie about her age, guys, that's kind of a big thing right there....
From People magazine:
Once upon a time, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis lived a quiet family life far from the spotlight in the sleepy French hamlet of Plan-de-la-Tour.
But that time is no more, and now the couple largely reside in L.A. – when they are in the same city at all. ... Multiple sources tell PEOPLE in this week's cover story that the relationship is all but officially finished. In fact, some in their circle say the couple of nearly 14 years have already split. Says one inside...

Guys, there is an evil, evil part within me that actually rejoices when I reread this line. "Megan Fox might steal Lindsay Lohan's Liz Taylor Role"? Come on. Tell me that's not almost comedic gold. Coming from where Lindsay Lohan used to be and comparing it to what success Megan's had to date? OMG. I'm dying here. From E!:
It appears Lindsay Lohan isn't the only starlet in talks to play Elizabeth Taylor.

"Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich, I didn't think hard about using the word bitch I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it. Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it. No man will degrade her, or call her names. I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel."
This is a poem written by new daddy Jay-Z, released just a week after that lovely 'G...
If you guys are anything like me, you listen to a whole lot of music. You have your favorites, the things you can listen to over and over without getting bored (some of mine are Bowie, Florence and the Machine, Jack's Mannequin, and The Magnetic Fields, just in case you were curious), then you have the things that you obsess over and then kind of forget until you come across it during a good iTunes shuffle (this happened last night when an Avett Brothers song came on: I stopped whatever I was d...
