Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Has Anybody Read Roseanne Barr’s Blog Lately?

I really can't recommend it enough. This woman holds nothing back, and it's entertaining stuff, whether or not you agree with her opinions. Here are some excerpts from the last couple of days: jon voight is a frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wandered in from the rain forest with a bone thru his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth. The neocons who own jon voight and make him dance on the chabad telethons are the worst most elitist people on ear...

So Close!

As expected, there are plenty of Michael-Phelps-didn't-really-win-that-race conspiracy theories abounding today. Some guy even went to the trouble of purchasing www.001ofasecond.com last night so that he could discuss the conspiracy between Michael Phelps and OMEGA clocks and whatever else. But here's a photo from Sports Illustrated showing the last instant of the race. As you can see, Phelps has his hand on the wall, while Milorad Cavic is thisclose to the wall but not touching it. Phenomenal. T...

Michael Phelps Is Going to Win the Entire Olympics

Honestly, this kid could have stuck Shawn Johnson's vault landing in the women's all-around competition. He could have stayed on the balance beam when Alicia Sacramone fell. And he'd have put Nastia Liukin's uneven bar routine to shame. The 2008 Olympics belong to Michael Phelps. As the NBC announcers said, he's magical. Michael was in seventh place at the 50m mark in the men's 100m butterfly. And yet, somehow, he pulled off a win ... by 1/100th of a second! PHENOMENAL! This...

La Lohan’s Converting to Judaism

Welcome to the tribe, Lindsay! Ms. Lohan is reportedly planning to convert to Judaism after learning about the religion from her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson. "As long as she believes in God," says her dad, although he doesn't think Lindsay really plans to stick to it. "She's exploring right now," he says. "She's explored the Church of Scientology, she tried Kabbalah, and now this. I think it's just another phase. But either way, she's involving God in her life, and I'm happy about that."...

The Chinese Women’s Gymnastics Team: Still Underage!

More evidence here and here. Take away their medals and give them to the USA!!! It's not even about the damn medals, it's about demonstrating very clearly that this blatant cheating at the highest level of athletics will not be tolerated. If the IOC had found steroids in their urine, they'd be stripped of their medals. Why is this form of cheating acceptable? Anyway, I just got back from a little jog on the treadmill and felt really light-headed. Now, I can resist temptation and craving and being a little grumpy, but when I feel physically light-headed, it's my body ...

Ack!

So I just got off the phone with Danielle Fishel (aka Topanga) who's the host of The Dish, the weekly fashion and entertainment wrap-up show premiering next Saturday on the Style Network. I can't remember ever being so excited to do an interview! I called all my girlfriends yesterday like "GUESS WHO I GET TO TALK TO TOMORROW??? TOPANGA!!!" She was my childhood idol. Danielle was an absolute sweetheart, very gracious and open and easy to talk to, and I got a lot of fun dirt out of her but...

New “Clueless” Video Game to Teach Young Women How to Change Themselves to Land a Man

Sigh. I'm all about getting young women to use the computer, but hearing about the upcoming video game based on Clueless kind of made me vomit a little in my mouth. The “Clueless” game will feature story elements from the hit comedy but takes its gameplay cues from “JoJo’s Fashion Show.” With protagonist Cher, played by Alicia Silverstone, being a fashion guru and a matchmaker, Marshall thought combining the two would work best. Thus, the player’s g...

Quotables

"If we weren't all entirely morally opposed to doing a reality show, I guarantee it would be the best-selling reality show ever." Rumer Willis, on the possibility of doing a reality show with her sisters. The "best-selling" reality show ever, eh, Rumer? We usually go with "highest-rated" in this context, but I'll let it slip because you're not very smart. It's not like we can reasonably expect you to have any knowledge of the entertainment industry. And how much you wanna bet this show gets mad...
