I never cared much about Emmy Rossum. I'd see a photo of her on the red carpet as I was thumbing through a million event photos and yawn. She's completely boring and I don't even know why she's famous. But I didn't mind her, I just didn't care about her.
Now?
I hate that little bitch. She's on my shit list.
Why, you ask? Oh, just a little item that's been floating around the Internet in the past day or two:
Her husband filed for divorce on September 25, but Emmy Rossum has already...
"I almost felt like it was unfair for [MTV] to come into our lives at such a young age and sort of mess with things. I don't regret it, but I was 17 -- of course I wanted to be on TV. I felt like they should have been a little bit more careful with us."
Kristin Cavallari talks to the LA Times with the most useful thing to come out of her mouth since John Mayer's penis. (What? Sure, he's a jackass, but from what I hear his penis is very useful.)
As Molls mentioned earlier today, the ubiquitously hated Kristin takes over as the star of The Hills tonight. Unlike Molls, I'm not a Kristin Cavallari fan (and I think she planted those John Mayer rumors herself). That said, I will probably watch The Hills tonight for the first time in years, just to watch Audrina in a huff over whatever dumb, fake shit Kristin does. Because in the battle of annoyingness, Audrina is actually beating Kristin these days in my mind. And plus, have you seen the trailer? (It's above.)
Something tells me this show's gonna see killer ratings tonight. And that is going to PISS OFF Miz Lauren Conrad. I can't wait for her statement about how she's very happy the show is so successful without her but she's really sad for Kristin that she has to be such a bitch all the time to stay famous. It's coming, believe it. />

I caught a brief article through the AP about a flick featuring Mariah Carey as a social worker. It's called Precious, and it's produced by Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, and the director's first choice for Mariah's role was Helen Mirren. When she dropped out, Lee Daniels called on Mariah -- who is 25 years younger than Helen -- to play the role. He trusted Mariah's acting skills, but he didn't want a diva showing up on set to play a humble role. "If you come with a strip of makeup on," he told her, "I will have a backup (actress)."
The article went on to say that Mariah's performance in the film -- which hits theaters November 6 -- has garnered high praise from critics. I was VERY curious to see exactly how Mariah had slipped into a role imagined for Helen Freakin' Mirren, so I checked out the trailer on YouTube. It's above. I have to admit, not only does Mariah seem to be doing a great job, but the whole movie looks absolutely brilliant and touching and very human, and I can't wait to see it. A far cry from Glitter, Mariah. (Although I still think of that Eminem diss track every time I hear your name these days.) />

Oh how I love Kirk Cameron. One minute, the world is going along just swimmingly, and then the next, our favorite born-again teen heartthrob is in our face to point out how terrible the world is now that we teach our kids about evolution. Kirk and some of his fundamentalist pals have joined forces to protect poor, innocent college students against the horrors of Darwin's seminal work, The Origin of Species.
"Atheism has been on the rise for years now, and the Bible of the atheists is The Origin of Species," Cameron says. "We have a situation in our country where young people are entering college with a belief in God and exiting with that faith being stripped and shredded. What we want to do is have student make an informed, educated decision before they chuck their faith."
He and other creationists have created thousands of editions of Charles Darwin's landmark work explaining evolutionary theory, with a 50-page introduction that picks apart aspects of Darwin's work and links it to everything from Nazi eugenics to the scientist's alleged "disdain for women." On Nov. 19, three days before the 150th anniversary of the original publication of Origin of Species, Cameron and other religious activists will distribute their books at "the top 50" universities around the country. (You can check out Kirk speaking about it here.) He seems to imply that universities are trying to "censor" his views and may try to interfere with his distribution of literature. I wouldn't worry so much about that, Kirk. It's not that anyone's trying to censor you. It's just that no one cares, because you're loony.
Continues Kirk:
"You can see where [Hitler] clearly takes Darwin's ideas to some of their logical conclusions and compares certain races of people to lower evolutionary life forms. If you take Darwin's theory and extend it to its logical end, it can be used to justify all number of very horrendous things."
OH THAT'S RIGHT. Charles Fucking Darwin's book has been used to justify SO MANY HORRENDOUS THINGS. Like the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Hunts, the Crusades, the War in Iraq ... oh, no, wait. I'm thinking of the Bible.
I just don't understand this shit. I believe in God. As it turns out, I believe in a God so very powerful that it may possibly have occurred to this God to create evolution. And science. Why is this so hard for people to stomach? Why do these people insist that their all-powerful God is somehow incapable of having created a science to explain the universe? Why must they wage a war against atheism and non-Christian beliefs when Jesus' primary message was one of universal love and tolerance? This crazy shit is so far removed from the beautiful and spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ.
Above find a very awesome video response to Kirk's video. Mostly I love it because I love the chick's hair and I want my hair to look like that. />

ZOMG so exciting. I mean the opposite of that, of course, but the photo agency is VERY EXCITED about this Paris Hilton camel toe. Paris went out shopping in tight, blue, zipper leggings that no one should be wearing in the first place, and it serves her right that now everyone is going to talk about her vagina for a day.

Now that he's been kicked off his own television show -- the show which basically never made reference to his own parents -- Jon Gosselin needs a little comforting. He spent some quality time shopping in Manhattan with his mother. I have several comments:
1) His mother looks EXACTLY like Hannah, and a lot like Leah, too. Now I see where those girls got their features, because their faces looked nothing like Kate or Jon, IMO. It's kind of odd that it was never mentioned that Hannah is basically a miniat...
Taylor Momsen struts her stuff while filming an episode of Gossip Girl in NYC. You know what, bitches? My legs were than thin when I was 16, too. And the drugs I was doing weren't half as potent as the shit I'm sure Taylor's getting her hands on. SO THERE.

"We weren't in rehab and Mr. Belding wasn't my crack dealer.”
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, responding to accusations Dustin "Screech" Diamond makes in his latest attempt to salvage his finances and his fame with no thought of salvaging his dignity. Screech has "written" a "memoir" called Behind the Bell, about his days on the set of Saved by the Bell. Us Weekly has a sneak peak at all the fabricated dirt:
He also alleges costar Mark Paul Gosselaar — who played popular Zack Morris — used stero...
I have fond memories of Justin Guarini. Not of Justin Guarini on American Idol -- I couldn't stand him from the start -- but of Justin Guarini on my blog. On my little Evil Beet blog on the Blogger platform, the one I started because I loved to write and I loved gossip and I needed an outlet, the one that I started without any sense that, years later, it would be my full-time job. That blog's still alive, if you want to check it out. In fact, it still gets some traffic from search engines. Back i...
Evil Beet is fortunate enough to be a part of a much broader network of very awesome websites -- some owned and managed by me and my company, EB Media, and others owned by RealNetworks, our parent site. There's a lot of great content on those sites, and we're going to start a regular segment around here linking to the best of the content on those other sites. If you're interested, check it out. If you're not -- in the words of Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body -- just move on dot org.

Jon Gosselin rides his dirt bike around the property in Pennsylvania. While smoking a cigarette. With the wind blowing his shirt tight against his ripped abs. OMG. They're ALL this funny.

Did you guys watch the House season premiere on Monday night? I know I did, and it looks like about 16.5 million other people did the same. Hugh Laurie (sans the rest of his crew) ruled the first night back for the networks, drowning Heroes and Dancing with the Stars in lower-than-expected numbers. The competition also seemed to impact Jay Leno's show, which brought in roughly one-third of its week-earlier premiere-night numbers, and posting its lowest ratings so far.
Soooo, what did you guys think of the House premiere? I liked it, I guess, but I wasn't a...
