Everybody: Put your hands together for the newest member of our Evil Beet team, Soleil Stephens!
Soleil will be working weekends starting tomorrow, while Wendie helps me out during the weekdays.
Thank you sincerely to everyone who applied. I had so many strong applications it was mind-boggling, and, like last time, I was blown away by the amount of talent in this readership. I am pretty damn convinced that Evil Beet has the smartest readers of any gossip blog out there, and that makes me so proud. But Soleil’s application stood out from minute one, and I’m confident that she will be a fantastic addition to this team, and that you guys will fall in love with her.
I will let her introduce herself in more detail when she starts tomorrow, but, for now, feel free to say hello.
Congrats and welcome! You’re awesome!
Hello! Can’t wait to hear more about you!
Hello!!
Congrats :)
Im sure you’ll make a great asset to the EB team and everyone will love you :)
Welcome aboaaaaaard :D
Congratulations! Can’t wait to read your stuff.
Thanks everyone! Of course you know me better by my this name instead of “Soleil Stephens” but you will get used to it. Thanks to Beet for hiring me and long passionate week we spent together while she “tried out my writing skills”.
(Yes, I am just joking. Beet would never hire a Goy…although I have been cut. Does that count?)
i thought it was really you for a second lol!
Yea me too hahah dumb
Hi, congratulations, Soleil! I really look forward to reading your new articles here! Cool name, too, BTW…
Awesome choice, Beet!! Can’t WAIT!! W E L C O M E, Soleil!

Welcome! I can’t wait! And I hope Wendie filled you in on how cruel people on here can be while they get over their jealousies of not being picked. Ignore it. Your talent stood out and we are lucky to have you!
Can’t wait to get to know you!
Congrats!!
Welcome welcome.. can’t wait til the weekend!

CONGRATS and welcome! Can’t wait to read your stories :)
Welcome and congratulations! Now we have even more talent that will satisfy our sugar beet cravings to visit this blog every hour.
Welcome! Look forward to reading your stuff. :)
Damn it….
I KNEW I should’ve changed my name to Nancy Hyman-Liebowitz: princess of low-self esteem when I applied.
Congratulations Soleil…
Too bad it wasn’t you, you are funny!
Congrats Soleil.
dude you need to start your own blog. i heart you.
I DO have my own blog…
why do people keep telling that? Yesterday, some guy at the next urinal looked over at my junk and said, “dude, you need to start your own blog!”
I just don’t spam it on here, because I USED TO have a lot of respect for this site…. before she turned it into a boring bitchfest. I only applied for the weekend spot because I REALLY APPRECIATE the love a lot of you give me on here…. that, and some of you have threatened to kill my ass if I didn’t….. so here it is…

now stop sayin that shit… and stop looking at my junk!
Weird, I had you pegged as a retired college professor.

You didn’t spell “retarded” correctly.
DP, too funny :) Do you have a blog?
OMG- Your blog is so fucking funny! You’re a genius!!
Hi Soleil! Welcome!!
I love all the new additions to the EB team. It’s always funny and interesting to read, but it’s awesome to hear all the different voices and perspectives on gossip.
I hope you have tons of fun and congrats!
Congrats and welcome, sweetie!
Woo woo! Welcome aboard! I open this site far too many times per day as it stands. Perhaps you could be boring to help me get ahead in life.
Gotta go, my mom wants me to unload the dishwasher. Bitch thinks just because I don’t have a job that means I have to clean up around here.
I’m with you. I am afraid that I have some strange addiction to this site. When I’m out and about, I am still checking on the site on my BlackBerry. Is there some subconscience streaming going on here?
Haha, I second that.
Me too. Totally addicted.
Sometimes I will use Evil Beet stuff in convos w/friends, like “Oh today Evil Beet was talking about (whatever topic) and how it’s so (insert adjective here).” My friends look at me and go, “Whose evil beet?” and I try to tell them about the website, but alas I think I’m the only one of my friends who’s this into celebrity gossip, And particularly Wendie’s, Sasha’s, and now Soleil’s take on it.
me three, i thought i was the only weird one!!
but anyway congrats!
I know, Im always talking about evilbeet and who ever im talking to gives me this “what is this freak talking about?” look. but then i show them the website and they get addicted.
Its a vicious cycle
Be afraid, be very afraid. I’m kinda kidding:)
Soleil, what a cute and sunny name! ;)
Seriously? This is the best you could come up with? Come on now!!! Thought you’d hire someone….anyone…..with a little pizazz. Something different and unique to offer to this blog. And yet, you hire someone who sounds exactly like both writers on here? Rigoddamndiculuous!
Since TSS got passed over, he gets a free pass to abuse her for the next two weeks.
SHE BETTER NOT SUCK
Will you post a picture? I like to see if you’re as cute as Beet.
she’s really pretty. there’s a link to her myspace on the front page
What ThatLisa said. She’s a stunner.
guess she’ll do as long as she doesn’t try to hock her crap merchandise on this site. i didn’t see much celebrity blogging on her blog.
I agree! How is it that you were supposed to post a bunch of blog posts, but there are *none* on her site? Don’t get it. Someone up top said about her not having any pizzazz, however the fuck you spell it, and it’s true.
Why do you guys assume that was the site she used to apply? You know absolutely nothing about what her application looked like.
probably because when asked about it in an above post, that’s the site she posted.
She didn’t post that — somebody else Googled her name and posted it. Read the name of the commenter! It was not what she applied with.
Can you block LivTiv from commenting? I would rather stick a plastic fork in my eye than hear anything more from her mouth … ever.
true story, i took my laptop to school today and I couldn’t get my gossip fix because the school district and their wireless network considered the entire site to be pornographic. :p
I can’t access Evil Beet from work because their internet filter thinks it’s porn as well. Damn the Man!
ditto for the library. incentive to keep the computer running LOL
why is she not commenting here??
we like interaction here!
Hellooooooo!!!!! Welcomeee…
welcome soleil. hope you can solve the mystery as to why mamma mia received no oscar nominations
word.
Congratulations Soleil, I can’t wait to read your posts ;)
HER BLOG IS NOTHING BUT LAME VIDEOS AND STUPID UGLY CLOTHES! SHE IS NOT A GOOD FIT BEET
SERIOUSLY, you shame me.
LOL LivTiv.. I’m guessing you tried out and didn’t make it? Maybe it’s the screaming type that got you =) And I’m sure that since you typed in all caps Beet will see the error of her ways immediately and choose someone else.
Idiot…
Anyhow, back to Soleil, pretty name ~ if you would try not to suck we would appreciate it =)
Uhm…
Soleil Stephens is Donkey Punch?
Or maybe I missed that post being a joke.
Oh sweet holy Jesus………I hope not.
It was a joke :)
LivTiv, grow up…
Some of you are taking this way too seriously, relax a little. This isn’t life or death here, it’s a blog about gossip. Give her a chance! Don’t write her off because she doesn’t fit your “standards.” Lighten up.
where is she?
naw bitches ill say what i want when i want. but seriously, her blog is some shit
Let it go. She probably submitted material, your blog doesn’t define you as a writer. At least I pray mine doesn’t :P
well welcome punky brewster. please have some fucking opinion in your comments unlike the last weekend person. she would say well i agree or like everything here….fucking attack while not relating every comment to your husband or some shit that no one could care less about. know we are are going to be very critical on every comment you make as it shoud be. bring it or get run. but hell, you can’t be any worse than that last weekend “writer”
Jeez that’s hostile. Wendie’s a damn good writer.
yeah. i thought last weekends posts were hilarious!
“bring it or get the runs” what??
I know, how about you stop visiting the site? If you don’t like what you get here, go somewhere else.
What kind of miserable person takes it upon themselves to belittle others just for kicks?
Uhm… wendie is now a weekday writer…
i was harsh, i’m sorry
well i guess she’s either ‘not ready’ or she’s just a late sleeper. she’ll have to realize that beet gets up early to WORK and doesn’t sleep in. it’s five to ten my time and if this were beet or wendie, she’d have six posts done already. disappointing. already.
Welcome! im sure that if beet likes you, you will rock :P
