Changing His Mind

Senator Barack Obama was supposed to appear on SNL tonight ... but he's canceled his appearance because of the severity of Hurricane Ike. And I wanna sit here and give Obama some shit about this, like, "What the fuck else do you have to do that night? You're not actually the President. Are you gonna head over to Florida and pilot the rescue 'copter?" But then I thought about it and it probably would look awful if people's houses were flooding down South and Barack Obama was wandering a...

We Now Have a Guide to Commenting

Please be sure to read it. Has it been your experiences that other bloggers will ban you/delete your comments because you disagree with them? Because seriously if I have one more person leave a comment like "What's the matter, Beet? Couldn't handle my brilliant argument that disagrees with you? When I said you were dropped on your head as a child? Was that logic just too elegant for you to handle??" when, in truth, I'm in the car and so I haven't even seen your comment yet, much less had a chance to approve it -- which I WILL do, and then you will feel exceedingly stupid -- I'm going to reach through the Internet and strangle anything I can get my hands on, which will likely be some manner of fiber optic network. I am going to start banning people JUST BECAUSE they've falsely accused me of censoring them. Read the guidelines, please. />Please be sure to read it.

Amanda Beard Wants It to Be Perfectly Clear That There Are No Hard Feelings

Oh, Amanda. You're like three weeks late with this shit. And also your face scares me. But you're better at swimming than I'll ever be at anything in my whole life, so, out of respect, I'll avoid detailing everything I find offensive about your face. But just as a hint, it's primarily the eyebrows and the mouth. I mean, it's just especially unfortunate with you because it's really the things that plastic surgery can't do much about. What I might recommend is actually shaving the inner halves of...

Gwen Stefani to Design Work Uniforms for ‘W’ Hotels

Whether this country elects Obama or McCain in November, Gwen Stefani will still be working for W. The L.A.M.B. designer has teamed up with the upscale hotel chain to design the uniforms for its female bar staff. And Gwen’s touch is instantly apparent: the black jersey dresses combine a fitted ’80s silhouette and asymmetrical styling with ’60s seam detailing and side vents. When creating the design, she knew it would have to not just look good, but be functional for active employees. “I wanted to design a super cute dress that I would be excited to have in my own c...

My (Death-Themed) Super Sweet 16

Aw, how sweet. Courtney Love threw little Frances Bean an "R.I.P. Childhood"-themed sweet sixteen party. Courtney Love spent over $323,000 on her daughter's birthday party. The Hole singer – who is the widow of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – spared no expense in ushering Frances Bean into adulthood at her 'RIP childhood' themed 16th birthday. The event – held at Los Angeles' House of Blues restaurant – saw Frances sporting a dress previously worn by her father Cobain at a performance at Reading Festival. Courtney ...

Your Daily Lohan

Here's Lindsay looking hot as fuck on the red carpet at Ultra Supper Club at the Toronto Film Festival. I am LOVING this look. We're seeing those shiny black leggings all over lately, and I have to say I just adore them. It is my hope to one day be thin enough to pull them off. Samantha was there with her, but I can't for the life of me find a photo of her. When will these two walk the red carpet hand in hand?? WHEN??? [gallery]...

Hooray for Weekend Getaways!

I'm so excited, you guys, I'm heading off this weekend to the Oregon coast with some girlfriends. We're driving down tonight and we're going to spend the weekend horseback riding, kayaking and just enjoying the beach while the weather is gorgeous here in the Pacific Northwest. I'll be checking in periodically, like I always do, but for now I'm outtie! xoxo Beet />...

Gasp! Is It Possible That Kanye West Does Not Do All His Own Blogging???

The kids at Gawker used their super-duper detective skills to point out that Kanye West may have lied when he once vehemently denied having a ghostblogger. Kanye West spent a good deal of yesterday in jail after being arrested at LAX. And, yet, his blog was updated normally all day. HOLY CRAP! Is it possible that an international superstar isn't actually writing his own blog???? Next thing I know you guys are going to tell me that Audrina Patridge doesn't actually craft her ow...

Taylor Swift: “Love Story” Video

Here's the just-released vid for Taylor's latest song. It's another hit, easily. I'm totally digging this. In fact, I gotta admit, I tend to love everything this chick does.
