Don’t Try to Steal the Soap, OJ December 5, 2008Evil BeetO.J. Simpson Orenthal James Simpson was sentenced today to at least fifteen years in the slammer for his hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, "It was much more than stupidity." The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when Judge Jackie Glass quickly rattled off his punishment soon after he made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, choking back tears as he told her: "I didn't want to steal anything from anyone. ... I'm sorry, sorry." The judge ...
Ethiopian Pop Singer Sentenced to Six Years for Hit and Run December 5, 2008Evil BeetTeddy Afro Paris Hilton got off easy. Ethiopia's biggest pop star, Teddy Afro, was sentenced Friday to six years in jail for a hit-and-run that killed a homeless man. The singer has released albums considered critical of the government — prompting many to see his conviction as politically motivated. In fact, in 2005, during Ethiopia's highly contentious national elections, one of his songs became the unofficial anthem of the opposition movement. During the 15-minute sentencing hearing, the judge to...
A Full House “Remake”?? December 5, 2008Evil BeetUncategorized Sources are reporting that John Stamos wants to organize a Full House reunion -- with the same cast, just years later. Says Candace Cameron-Bure, "John has been working on a semi-remake of "Full House ... I know it would involve me and Jodie Sweetin. We would revive our characters, but today as young women." Ummmm, so, just to get this straight, Stephanie is a twice-divorced meth-head, and DJ is a born-again Christian, right? Here's what I really wanna know: What became of Kimmy Gi...
BFFs! December 5, 2008Evil BeetBrittany Flickinger, Paris Hilton So I am happy to say that I didn't catch one single minute of Paris Hilton's BFF television show, but apparently the winner has been announced, and it's some chick named Brittany Flickinger. On Thursday, Paris made what will probably be her one and only appearance in public with Brittany, as the two did some shopping in Bel Air. I find this photo infinitely amusing, because Paris is carrying two huge bags of fun stuff she just bought, and Brittany is carrying what looks to be a pharmacy bag of ...
Suing Natalie Maines, Per Usual December 5, 2008Evil BeetNatalie Maines I don't mind Natalie Maines, and I typically agree with the things she says, but her big mouth does tend to get her -- and her bandmates -- in an awful lot of trouble. Exhibit 8000: A man whose 8-year-old stepson was killed in 1993 has sued all three members of the country-pop group for defamation, singling out frontwoman Natalie Maines for her comments suggesting that he played a role in the boy's death. Maines, whose outspokenness has won her lifelong friends and mortal enemies alike, appeared last December at a rally in Little Rock, Ark., for the three men, tagged the "West Memphis Three" by their supporters, who were convicted as teenagers of killing th...
Disturbing December 5, 2008Evil BeetJason Alexander Is anyone else strangely attracted to the Jason Alexander mug shot? Britney's 55-hour husband is doing a few days in the LA slammer after he failed to meet the conditions of his DUI release. But, like, DAMN, I'm getting a little tingly looking at this. I'm so weird. And this is one of those sentences you don't ever expect to be writing, but you do you guys think he had a little plastic surgery done between the time he married Britney Spears and this mug shot? I mean, for comparis...
A Gossip Girl Spin-Off??? December 4, 2008Evil BeetUncategorized Word on the street is that the CW is looking at a Gossip Girl spin-off for next season. CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said the network is in discussions with the show's producers as to how a new show could be done. But she said nothing has been finalized and there's no imminent announcement. "Nothing really tangible yet, but we're talking about it," Ostroff told the Hollywood Reporter after her speech at the WWD Style + Media conference in Manhattan. "If it's the right idea, we'd all em...
Keri Russell in Details Magazine December 4, 2008Evil BeetFiona Apple, Keri Russell Not bad, but I liked it better when it was called Fiona Apple. Does this mean Keri will get really, really wasted at the VMAs next year and go up on stage and be all like "This world is bullshit. And you shouldn't model your life — wait a second — you shouldn't model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we're wearing and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself" and then stumble off?* No? Then I don't care. Oh, an...
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Inside New York Times Magazine December 4, 2008Evil BeetKatie Holmes, Tom Cruise What do we think? Looks like it'll be a great photo shoot, if nothing else. "There's a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn't have any control of her life," says Katie in the issue hitting newsstands Sunday, which includes a feature on TomKat's life. "And that's pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I've made choices in my life that have been very strong." It is certainly very cool to look at the evolution of Katie Holmes -- from this girl-next-door TV starlet to this glamorous, untouchable woman o...
