The Puppy Cam Puppies Are Growing Up!

Broadcasting Live with Ustream.TV Oh noes! If you, like me, have followed every last sigh and struggle of the six Shiba Inus on Puppy Cam -- found at the bottom of Evil Beet's sidebar, just above the new Britney Spears album (IN STORES TODAY!!!) -- you will be devastated to hear that the puppies are going to be headed off to their forever homes soon. From a statement from their foster parents: For those of you who were out and about for the US Thanksgiving holiday we just wanted to update t...

Fun Times with Brandon Davis

The only thing more amusing than watching Brandon "Asshole" Davis accidentally back his super-expensive car into another super-expensive car comes when the second car is owned by a celebrity -- in this case, Pink, who promptly demands the paparazzi let her see their video as evidence. Thanks Anthony! /> The only thing more amusing than watching Brandon "Asshole" Davis accidentally back his super-expensive car into another super-expensive car comes when the second car is owned by a celebrity -- in this case, Pink, who promptly demands the paparazzi let her see their video as evidence.

No One’s Buying Music in the Stores Anymore

Most retailers had a very good Black Friday this year, but music retailers were singing a different tune (GET IT???), as they saw much lower than expected sales.
Music sales were down from 10 percent to 30 percent, and big-name albums released for Black Friday, the post-Thanksgiving kickoff to the holiday retail season, didn't perform up to expectations, according to merchants contacted by Billboard. Sources said that Kanye West's "808s & Heartbreak" will sell in the range of 425,000-450,000 units, significantly down from 700,000-975,000 units previously projected. Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is expected to clock in at 250,000-260,000, not the predicted 300,000-784,000 units. At music specialty stores Newbury Comics, sales were down 21 percent on a comparable-store basis for the last two weeks of November, while music sales were down 28 percent, the Brighton, Massachusetts-based chain's CEO, Mike Dreese, reported. At big-box stores like Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble, label executives reported that hit-album sales were off significantly for the Black Friday weekend, anywhere from 30 percent to 40 percent.
So is it that no one's buying music -- because everything's available for free online these days, both illegally and legally -- or is it just that they're buying it from iTunes or Rhapsody or other digital retailers? If so, why? For instance, the entire Britney Spears album is streaming on BritneySpears.com. I mean, for fuck's sake, I just grabbed the embed code, and now the Britney Spears album is streaming on EvilBeetGossip.com. In fact, I'm gonna put it in the damn sidebar. There we go. That took all of twenty seconds. Why would anybody pay money for this album now? The game has to change, guys.

Hollywood’s Still Recycling Everything

They're remaking Fame. No, seriously. Because that's a classic that needs to be tampered with. Fuck, dude. Megan Mullally, Kelsey Grammer, Charles S. Dutton, Bebe Neuwirth and Debbie Allen have been tenured. The quintet has been chosen to fill out the administrative and teaching roles in MGM and Lakeshore Entertainment's remake of "Fame."

Heh. Now this is a 21st century problem. La Lohan took to her MySpace page today to rant about how Facebook had deleted her secret account, thinking it was a fake Lindsay.

Another Good Review for Britney’s Album!

They just keep coming in! This time from Billboard: From the synthy open of "Womanizer" to the regretful ache spurring "Blur," "Circus" gives Brit pop a whole new meaning, as the singer does double duty as a dance diva and brokenhearted balladeer. It's no easy feat, but when Spears shoves aside the tabloid trauma and hooks up with the right producers, she's in a class of her own. The iPods of the dumped will have "Out From Under" on repeat, and if censors turn a deaf ear to the racy wordpla...

Police Arrest William Balfour in Hudson Slayings

William Balfour, the estranged husband of Julia Hudson, was finally arrested in the killings of Jennifer Hudson's brother, mother and nephew. He'd been in prison since the murders on a parole violation, but today was transferred to Chicago detectives to be charged with the murders. The death penalty will be way too good for you, dude. I hope they put you in the general population of some prison, let everyone know you murdered an innocent boy in cold blood, and just let you get stabbed and ass-raped for the rest of your life. ...

Quotables

They make us eat six times a day. Three meals and three snacks. We all sit in the kitchen together and there is a monitor at the head of the table making sure we eat everything on our plates and drink everything in our cups. This is called the refeeding process. It must be done slowly and steadily, with more food added on as time progresses so we don’t shock our systems. So we are not in danger of ending up like Karen Carpenter — she gained too much weight too fast after starvi...

Is Tom Cruise Going to “Merge” His Family with the Beckhams?

Dude, I don't understand this at all. Tom Cruise is to merge his family with Victoria and David Beckham’s in a special ceremony. The ‘Valkyrie’ actor will hold the bizarre service – during which the families vow to be brothers and sisters and exchange heartfelt speeches - at his wife Katie Holmes’ New York town house. The gesture serves as a Thanksgiving present from Tom - who has two adopted teenage children, Isabella and Connor, with ex-wife Nicole Kid...
