Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Quotables

“I like watching other people get gossiped about. It makes me feel better.” Lauren Conrad, on her penchant for watching Gossip Girl. She also insists she's still single. “My love life is an absolute trainwreck,” she says. “And half of my friends are guys…It’s kind of embarrassing, because you’re out with a group of friends and the next day it says you’re dating one of them and lap dancing, too. You have to say, ‘You know, I’m sorry, but that kind of ...

Death of Kanye West’s Mother Leads to New Plastic Surgery Legislation

After Donda West died during a cosmetic surgery procedure, the California State Senate on Wednesday approved a requirement that patients be given a physical exam before elective surgery. Donda's procedure was complicated by her coronary artery disease, which her family reportedly believes that a physical exam would have uncovered. The vote in the Senate was 37 to 1. Um, I guess I wasn't aware that patients don't have a physical exam before plastic surgery. That's really kind of frightening to me. Doctors just do full-on surgery without first investigating...

Escaping the Paparazzi

You can't escape all of them, Sarah. Amidst rumors that her marriage is falling apart due to Matthew Broderick's infidelities, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew took their son, James, to Ireland, where the family has a cottage and there are fewer creepy men with cameras. This just makes me want to go to Ireland. It's one of the top places on my list of places to visit in my life. China was on there, too, but it's quickly falling. I'm very mad at China right now. So now I want to go to I...

The Chinese Gymnasts Are 12 Years Old

DUH. The AP has uncovered new evidence that some of the women on the Chinese gymnastics team are, in fact, under the required age of 16. Duh, duh, duh. Have you seen those girls? They made the girls from our team look old and fat. In fact, they made the teeth of the girls from our team look old and fat. Say what you want about body fat, genetics, etc, nobody is still sporting all their baby teeth at the age of 16. China is, of course, not interested in admitting that the girls' age...

Christian Bale’s Off the Hook

Batman will not face charges in relation to the "verbal abuse" incident that took place last month, say UK officials. Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to afford a "realistic prospect of conviction," and ordered police not to take any further action. If this were a physical abuse case, I'd be all like "WTF???" but I still can't really figure out what "verbal abuse" is, at least in a criminal sense, because if my little sister went running to the c...

Jennifer Love Hewitt: “Look How Skinny I Am!”

Sigh. Remember when we were all calling Jennifer Love Hewitt fat, and she was all like, "I love my body just the way it is!" In fact, let me quote again what she wrote on her blog late last year: I’ve sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image. A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. An...

Jennifer Aniston’s Toxic Rebound

Rumors has it that Jennifer Aniston's new man is none other than Matt Felker -- the guy from the "Toxic" video, and also Selma Blair's ex. What is it with Jen and male models? Also, sources are reporting that Jen dumped John -- after the third time he'd cheated on her. Apparently, Aniston gave Mayer a "three strikes and you're out" ultimatum -- after learning about his "quickie" flings with a cocktail waitress and a promoter's assistant for his concert tour. That was two strikes....

Behaving Herself

The once-again super-skinny Nicole Richie is hardly on the radar these days. The only time we seem to get new shots of her is when she goes to driving school. I wonder if that's because she alerts the paparazzi when she goes to driving school so that we can all see she's fulfilling her civic obligations, or because the paparazzi know her driving school schedule. I hate that I care. Anyway. Here's Nicole going to driving school. ...

Is This Tommy Lee’s New Squeeze?

You might recognize this paragon of class as Daisy de la Hoya, from Rock of Love 2. It's kind of hard to tell it's her, because her middle finger is covering most of her absurdly Botoxed lips, which are her most recognizable feature. In fact, the lips on her face are almost better covered here than the lips between her legs. She's just that much of a lady. But I digress. Rumor has it that Daisy's been dating rocker Tommy Lee recently, after previously being attached to Dave Navarro. M...
