Jenna Elfman Is Physically Threatening Me with Her Womb

I got scared when I saw this photo of Jenna Elfman on the People's Choice Awards red carpet. Don't get me wrong, human pregnancy is a wonderful, beautiful thing ... that scares the beejezus out of me. This photo screams the word "ADOPT." Why do pregnant women have to look so distended? I look at this and it just doesn't seem healthy. That's okay. There are little orphans in Russia who will need my parenting one day. I think adopting is better anyway, especially from a foreign country. When you conc...

The Los Angeles Coroner Is the Only Person in the Country Who Doesn’t Know How Casey Johnson Died

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Johnson & Johnson heiress and frequent tabloid guest star Casey Johnson. She was found yesterday morning at her home in LA, and authorities say she'd been dead for some time before that. Casey adopted daughter Ava from Kazakhstan in 2007, but she had been living with Casey's mother because Casey couldn't get her drug problem under control. The LA County coroner said that he did not suspect foul play in Casey's death, and the cause of death wo...

Evil Beet Goes Mobile!

Hello loves! This is a request I've been getting in my inbox ever since the advent of cordless phones, it feels. It only took me like four years to get around to doing it. No, we don't have an iPhone app, but the site has been optimized for viewing on a mobile browser, specifically iPhone, BlackBerry, and other higher-end devices. I think for those of you who read this site on your phone, it will make your lives much much easier. (Zelda Lily has been optimized for web viewing as well.) If you don't like it, there will be a little button at the bottom of the main page that says "Mobile Theme." Switch it to "Off" and the site will go back to normal for you. We're still working out a bunch of the kinks, so email me or leave it in the comments if you're having trouble using the mobile version of the site. Thanks! xoxo Beet />Hello loves!

Jewel’s New Single, “Stay Here Forever”

It dropped today. I don't have an opinion, really. I love her voice and I think she's talented, and I certainly wouldn't cringe if this came on the radio. It's not really one of my favorites out of her, though. I miss the old days when her songs would make obscure literary references and that's how I learned to pronounce Anais Nin's name. /> It dropped today. I don't have an opinion, really.

Ke$ha Is Kicking Some SERIOUS A$$

The ingenue leads Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for a second week with "TiK ToK" while setting the record for most single-week downloads by a female artist (610,000). Did I call it or what? Her full debut album drops January 5, although it leaked online last week. I've heard the whole thing at this point (legal note: I'M TOTALLY KIDDING) and I summed it up this way on my Twitter:
Loving the leaked Ke$ha album because I am forever a 12-year-old girl who can't wait to grow up and be a drunk slut at the bars.
And it's soooo true. Like, I'm so over being a drunken party girl on the LA club scene; I'd never want to go back to it. I guess, at times, it was fun while it lasted, but I'd never want to return to that lifestyle. But the album -- with hardly any swearing and words like "dick" barely audible when they're used -- is clearly being marketed to a pre-teen and teenage crowd, the girls who want to hear about how cool it is to be a drunk slut at the bars. Who want to dream about the day when they can be that girl. And that aspect of it spoke to that part of my past. I dunno. It was just a really fun album. Additional props go to her for writing an album where the woman is actively and openly pursuing casual, dirty, don't-even-fucking-talk-to-me sexual encounters. I expect it'll sell quite well, and we'll have another little pop phenom on our hands. Fun!!! Above find (no joke), Ke$ha and her family featured on an episode of The Simple Life. Below find my two favorite songs off the upcoming album, "Stephen" and "Take It Off." /> The ingenue leads Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for a second week with "TiK ToK" while setting the record for most single-week downloads by a female artist (610,000).

Bow Wow Drives Drunk and Lives to Tweet About It

500x_custom_1262367172379_bowwowtweet1 Rapper Lil' Bow Wow was out and about on New Year's Eve, tarnishing his sterling reputation by tweeting about driving drunk in his Lamborghini, although personally I think he did the most damage by admitting that he was spending time with Chris Brown. Gawker did a pretty thorough analysis of this: * Im fucked up!!! = I am drunk. * Y i drive the lambo = I am driving my lamborghini now. I should not be. * Chris might have to drive after next spot = As in, I'm driving it right now, while t...

Kathy Griffin Ushers in the New Year by Cussing

She wasn't about to let her live television appearance scoot by without causing some controversy! For the second year in a row, Kathy Griffin brought us all into another annum with vulgarity. During a CNN shoot with Anderson Cooper, she opted to pronounce Balloon Boy Falcon Heane's name as "Fuckin." It's at around the 0:55 mark in this clip. Anderson Cooper just mutters "you're terrible" and moves on. The network said in a statement Friday that it "regrets that profanity was used during our New Year's Eve coverage." As for Kathy? This is her statement: "Like every other serious reporter covering the now infamous balloon boy hoax, I struggled to pronounce his name 'Falcon' correctly and have gotten a kick out of how many ways I've heard it pronounced by other serious reporters. Just add me to that list and happy new year!" You gotta hand it to this woman, she knows how to stay relevant. She's like Paris Hilton but with a talent. My friends and I ushered in the new year with fondue and a house party. Of course, I took lots of pics and made a little video. You can check them all out on my personal blog if you'd like. /> She wasn't about to let her live television appearance scoot by without causing some controversy!
