At the 3 Olives party last night, I tracked down a bunch more celebs to get the dirt on their lives. Erin Lucas — chain-smoking in the VIP area (NYC clubs are all non-smoking) and “catching up” with her ex-boyfriend from The City — took time to take a pic with me and answer some questions about why she wasn’t returning to the next season of The City. “I’m doing a couple things on the side,” she says. “I can’t really talk about it very much. It was a personal decision of mine to not continue on to season two. I’m kind of a gypsy. I’d like to focus on hosting — that’s what I went to school for, and that’s what I love.” I asked her about the AC/DC tat on her side — her dad’s the bassist for the group — and she said she changed her last name and tried to hide the fact that he was her father. “I never wanted to be known as the girl whose dad was in AC/DC, but that flew right out the window after the first season.”
Then I had a chance to talk to Lindsey Vuolo, Playmate Extraordinaire. She was at Kendra’s wedding and they’re close friends, so of course I had to ask her about Kendra’s impending motherhood. I mean, this is a girl who can’t keep her room even remotely clean — how’s she gonna raise a baby? “She is going to be a great mom,” says Lindsey, “because she wants to be a mom. She wanted to be married, she wanted to have a baby. She looks crazy and stupid on TV, but she is really a good person and she has a great family. She’ll learn, like we all do. I mean, it’s a baby, so I think she realizes she needs to be a little more responsible, but she’ll definitely have help. Her mom and her grandmother are fantastic. I wish her the best.”
Here’s Lindsey on the red carpet:
Then I grabbed Housewife Danielle Staub for a photo and interview. I have to admit, she looked really pretty when I first saw her on the carpet and in the club, but the camera flash kind of did away with all that. (I can’t say it did me any favors either). I stood next to her for this photo and I swear her tits are made of rubber. Too funny. But you know what? I kind of thought she was awesome. She’s had scandal after scandal dug up about her — she was a stripper, she abused drugs, she’s been arrested — but she’s kept a positive attitude about it all. “I didn’t know that people would dig up things [when I signed up for the show], but I’m kind of really relived it happened the way it did,” she says. “I kind of wish people would leave my past in the past and let me tell my own story. And I’m about to do that … I’m writing a book.” But as for all the stories from her past — which she’s admitted are true — she says it’s freeing to have that all out there. “It’s almost like taking those tights off at the end of the day.”
Last, I talked to Kelly Bensimon — who divorced photographer Gilles Bensimon in 2007. I didn’t take a photo with Kelly. I didn’t want to be anywhere near a photo with Kelly. She is way too freakishly gorgeous in person. Totally unreal. So of course I had to ask her about her beauty regime. “I use body scrub every day and use a Neutrogena body oil on my skin, keeps my skin really soft,” she told me. “I drink a ton of water. And I sleep a lot. I really don’t drink that much, and I think that’s one of the reasons I look the way that I look. I’m not one of those people who is always on a diet, I just exercise and take care of myself and live a healthy life. I think of the word ‘diet’ as ‘die’ with a ‘t.'” Kelly’s launching a line of costume jewelry, so I asked her about her favorite fashion trend right now. “Shorts,” she says. “Shorts are like the new mini. You can run around and have fun in them but you still feel covered.” Kelly was, of course, looking absolutely stunning in a pair of glittery silver shorts, which I’m sure I never could have afforded, let alone looked good in. But she? Looked fabulous.
Lance Bass walked the red carpet really quickly, didn’t do many interviews, and then spent the rest of the night holed up in the VIP area texting away, Lohan-style. So I didn’t get a chance to talk with him, but I did grab him and make him take a photo with me, and he was really sweet about it, even though I’m pretty sure he was very annoyed with me:
And what would the end of the night be without a crazy non-celeb photo shoot on the red carpet? Yes, of course, my friend Kate and I hopped right on up there and made random people on the street take our photos. The fabulous end result?
All in all? Exactly what an NYC party should be like. We had a blast. And now? I must sleep.
UGH I hate KELLY
Jeez Beet! You look kinda possessed in that Lance Bass pic!
Beet does have that wide-eyed, crazy woman stare. I’m surprised anyone talked to her. Ha. But the purple dress is super cute.
As much as Beet likes to criticize what other people are wearing, I want to know, What’s up? She looks totally terrible. Her hair is awful. Her dress is not flattering. And those shoes? Not appropriate with that dress. Give me a break. I don’t want to see anymore bashing of other people’s clothes when her personal style is so…Wal-Mart.
What are the words I’m looking for…? Oh yes: Shut up, and don’t be such a bitch.
Kisses xoxo
The shoes are bad. Unless you’re taller than 5’10” and have perfect legs, flats should never be worn to a formal type occasion.
EB, you look like raw dog shit! What is wrong with you, woman? The shoes are all wrong, your make up (are you wearing any???) is atrocious and what in the hell is wrong with your hair? That dress is cute, but glam. You look like you had a hard day at the beach….get it right or go home, EB.
I agree – La Beet has a great body and, minus the wrinkles, the dress is pretty (Satin Is Utterly Unforgiving). But Madame Beet, your posing looks like an excited seven-year-old. Some of the shots of you look cut and pasted from one celeb to another.
I know you were having a blast, but it looks like you’re accosting the camera with your eyes.
I bet you can afford a trip to a good hair salon and you’d look gorgeous with looser hair. This do looks like you were getting ready to go for a trip to the gym.
But you don’t look blase and bored!
Hair back was an awful, awful idea…it makes forehead look huge.
Beets already admitted that she abuses Botox.
Tell lindsey i’ll have mine with chocolate chips.
Besides Lance Bass, I have no fucking clue who any of those people are.
And you make fun of the fashion choices others make?!?
That Lindsey Vuolo girl has some saggy looking boobs. Should have worn a bra. Also her last name makes me think “vulva”
No offense beet, but maybe you should consult w. us first before you wear something :/
Who cares what Beet wears? Great tits!
And before she does her hair too.
Wow Beet! You look great and it looks like you were having a fun time. Congratulations girlfriend!
Ok this is a gossip site, and most of our comments are about how shitty people look in the posted pics, I have some thoughts.
I bought a dress like Beet’s for my kid when she graduated eighth grade, but the fabric didn’t wrinkle like Beet’s did. It was about 50 bucks.
Black would be a better choice-even cheap black looks good. Most of the better department stores have style advisors who will help you for free-personal shoppers are the shit.
Stop at the makeup counter while you are there and they will do a bang up job. And they have these little blotting sheets that you can keep in your purse that suck the sweat right off of your face.
I’m not even gonna get into the hair. Enough bitchiness for today. Just sayin’….
*lol* I agree with everything you said here.
I don’t want to be a hater or anything and really, I’m not… BUT stuff like this is what used to put me off of Perez Hilton SO bad that I stopped going to his site altogether. Posts like, “Here’s me with some idiot 99.9% of you have never heard of but it’s a party and there’s some reality TV ppl there and *I’m* there too – WOO!” I would perhaps be excited to be at that party as well but it’s just not that interesting to the rest of the world.. who cares about a forced pic of Beet and Lance Bass?? I’m just saying.
I don’t go to that other site, but doesn’t he do that pretty frequently? Beet has posts like this once in a blue moon; she really doesn’t put herself into her blog that often, not with pics at a party anyway. I don’t think it’s a big deal. And it looks like everyone’s enjoying the chance to insult her looks and fashion choices so it’s a win-win.
BEET! i thought you said on your twitter that Jessie from Nyc prep couldn’t get in? isnt that her behind you in the first photo? i’d reckognize that nose anywhere!!
No, that’s not her. I know who that is, and it’s not Jessie.
Your avatar pic looks so much nicer than the above pics.. you should’ve worn your hair down! You made the mistake pretty girls make – thinking that you don’t need to try. You do when the flashbulbs are around! :)
back handed comment much?! that was rude!
If beet cant take it, dont dish it
I agree. You’re very pretty and I’m sorry people (myself included) jumped on you.
I don’t understand why we should care about these losers? Kelly Bensimon is utter shit. I’ve had enough of her in her hot pants. Beet, pink dress with silver gladiators and a matching pink bag don’t make you look as beautiful as you are. And I have to agree that it doesn’t make sense when you rip on other peoples outfits and then I see you in this. Sorry!
Daaamn people!! Lay off Beet. Do all of you want to post a pic and let the rest of us tear it apart? She looks good, has great tits and is cute as hell. Go bag on Perez if you want to hate.
And Beet…for the record you can wear that dress, with those shoes, and that hair out with me anytime…well at least anytime my girlfriend isn’t around :)
Hey dude, I claimed her tits first! I’m afraid you’re gonna have to just wait in line.
WRONG! She already promised to make a porno with ME!!!
I don’t know who any of you clowns are. I already claimed her mountains and hope to reach the summit eventually. I will take Lindsey Vuolo as my sherpa.
She can wear that stuff out with me any time too. I’m guaranteed that I’ll look better than her!
Wait wait..
let me get this right.
This blog has made fun of other celeb’s fashion mistakes, but here comes one of their own bloggers in ..that dress that looked like it was bought at wetseal or gojane?
this entire post … makes me feel like throwing up. forget Beet’s fashion faux pas – HOLY CRAP, who the fuck are these famewhores she’s buttering up?!?!
LAME.
lame lame
lame lame.
You guys only noticed NOW that Beet can’t dress herself yet?
I noticed it when she dresses up in that new years outfit.
wtf to the boots and the outfit
It’s true….her hair looks awful. Beet has a lovely face, but her forehead is a bit on the long side, which is fine…she just needs to implement some layering and perhaps some bangs. Don’t be afraid to be a blonde! You have a light complection and thin eyebrows a nice sandy blonde would compliment you more than darker hair colors that call attention to negative features. Perhaps letting your eyebrows grow in a bit to have a more defined brow line wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
I still heart Lance Bass, gay or not. He was my NSYNC crush in high school and I’ll never get over that voice…
Dear Beet, piece of advice
let your hair down
get some high heels
as for garments, go to my favorite not so expensive store in the US
BCBG Max Azria
you look very nice, but you need this advice
Darling Beet, we love you to pieces but for all of the bitching and moaning you do about what celebrities wear, your fashion choices have been very bad lately. We loved the bangs, but you got rid of them. We suggest special things to get rid of the shine on your face, but I don’t think you listen. And when you take a picture you don’t have to keep the same wide eyed pose in each picture! Take it easy and look relaxed you don’t have to pose yourself every time you take a picture.
It’s the botox.
ugh, why do people get botox? I mean it makes your face look horrible! I don’t understand why any person would just volunteer to inject that shit into their face. I don’t care if you have wrinkles, thats called aging which is something every person has to live through. What happened to natural beauty?
Nah, I don’t think so. Theres nothing wrong with her face, she is probably posing that way so her eyes dont look slanty or tired in the shot—I do that all the time, especially if it’s dark and there’s a flash. She looks very pretty in all the headshots, etc.
She’s admitted to using it.
I haven’t used it in almost a year at this point.
Love the dress. Love the shoes. Lipstick and face powder would be great additions (I mean, come on it is a Hollywood event!), but I think you look great. I liked the bangs as well — bring ’em back! Oh, did you get your nails put back on?! :-)
Seriously… Foundation, Face powder, Bra. Each of these things would really serve you well Queen Beet. You look like you hit every branch when you fell out of the Arizona Trailer Trash Tree….
I’m moving around and beet’s eyes are still following me :|
As I looked the pictures I realized the event wasn’t really that formal so, I just going to complain about the shoe choice beet, The make up, the hair, whatever, many people don’t feel the need to try to impress anybody with a ton of make up and hair spray, and thats ok. :)
“so, I’M just going to complain…” hehe
The thing is Beet looks like she’s having a whale of a time and I bet everyone she interviewed was charmed by her enthusiasm and energy. So those of you who feel the need to tear her down- lay off!
*lol* @ WHALE of a time
beet: on “the real housewives of NY” kelly’s skin looks like an old leather purse – what about in real life? just curious. that danielle is terrifying…wow. she looks just like the joker. also, and i’m not trying to be mean, but you need to let your hair down. as the owner of a “fivehead” myself, wispy bangs are the answer. and maybe lay off the botox – you look scared in every photo!
Are you still in NYC??? come to Le Royale tonight!
oh my. Im going to keep this short.
Purple wrinkled satin–no.
Flats– no.
Hair pulled back with no bangs–no.
Botox–Please stop.
Im really not trying to be mean (i feel kinda bad after seeing how bad everyone let you have it). Im just trying to give you some pointers because i honestly would not let one of my friends walk out of the house like that.
I agree with everyone here, Beet talks so much shit about others clothing and look at her. Its amazing she can make the exact same pose in the pictures, botox much? You’re like a deer in headlights. Practice. Maybe you should practice posing in the mirror? Your poses on the ‘carpet’ aren’t too flattering either.
Dress – wrong color for you and way too big in the top, and ruffles down the middle? The whole outfit reminds me of this little girl I babysat once when she was dressed up.
Shoes – I could’ve found better look shoes at Walmart ;)
Hair- Hair never looks good up in a formal dress unless you put some effort into it. Have you not learned anything after staring at countless photos?
You have a shitty friend for letting you look like that, especially with your greased out face.
God damn, Beet rubs me the wrong way A LOT of the time (I read this blog for Wendie) but I really think that so many of the people who read and comment on this blog are just so hateful. I really do not think Beet deserves to be torn down for her looks like this. Every time she posts something with pictures or video of herself everyone jumps in to say such mean shit and they all feed off each other. Its like a bunch of fucking barracudas.
This blog just seems to attract a lot of negative, self righteous readers. It really puts me off. I get a really bad feeling from it More often than not-its not fun, just vicious.
I love how people compare Beet to a celebrity. I doubt very much she has a stylist, a publicist, and hair and make-up prepping her before each photo shoot or appearance.
I didnt hear anyone compare who to a celebrity. Ithink most people simply said if you are going to tear down other people for what they wear, expect it to happen to you when you go out looking like that.
And i am no celebrity but i promise i could make myself up to look like a million bucks compared to what beet looks like in those pictures. And she is not an ugly girl by far.
Post your photo and we’ll let you know:)
Pay me like she gets paid and i will. Ill let people critique my looks for pay anyyy day.
LOTS of people don’t have any of that, and they still manage. Beet is a pretty lady, and most of us are giving constructive criticism (minus a few mean people).
These catty comments are crazy. Post your own lives on the web and see what happens. Oh wait! Right, nobody will be looking at it.
I like how Beet posts an image of herself and she gets more than 60 hits on it, but she posts Lohan shit and it only gets about 5 or 6 comments. Beet, I suggest you just post images of yourself from now on so we can critique them.
No wonder we have a hard time agreeing with your nasty remarks about beautiful famous people. You are fucking ugly and tacky as hell!
fwfw rwefw wewf
Beet, how do you put up with all of this? :-/
wow beet, i’ve never looked at your shitty site before, but you really are one hideous bitch. pulling that same fuckin idiot face in every photo, annoying celebrities that obviously don’t give two fucks about you. wake up to yourself – theyre people, just like anyone else, they don’t need your attention and definitely don’t want it. and noone wants to stare at that grubby head of yours. don’t get me started on the rest of you.
