The Return of Richard Simmons! July 24, 2008Evil BeetRichard Simmons Here's the always amusing Richard Simmons, taking Capitol Hill by storm on Thursday. Simmons was at the Capitol to testify before the House Education and Labor Committee about expanding physical education in public schools to combat childhood obesity. I went to a BBQ in a suburb a little bit north of Seattle earlier in the week, and the family had a badminton net in their backyard. I was like "Oh my God! Give me a shuttlecock!" I hadn't played badminton since high school P.E., but I LOVED it ...
Congrats to Amy Adams! July 24, 2008Evil BeetAmy Adams The actress got engaged to her boyfriend of six years, actor Darren Legallo. The couple met in an acting class in 2001. Says Amy: "He's really special. I'm really lucky because he's not competitive with me. He supports and embraces my success as mine. And he has his own goals for himself, but he never makes my success his failure." Awww! Maybe I need to start taking acting classes!!!...
Justin Long Drops Out of Drew Barrymore’s Movie July 24, 2008Evil BeetDrew Barrymore, Justin Long Justin Long was supposed to make an appearance in Whip It!, Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, but he's apparently dropped out of the flick since the couple split. "He couldn't stand working with her and not being with her," says a source. "He's too upset. She dumped him. She was hot and cold. One minute she was in love with him and the next she wanted to break up with him. He is so distraught over the split that he dropped out of the movie." A rep for the production company would not confirm that Justin was ever on board, saying that "it's bordering on his personal life." Something tells me there's more to this story ......
Shanna Moakler’s Talking Smack About Kim Kardashian, And I Love It July 24, 2008Evil BeetKim Kardashian, Shanna Moakler I kind of love Shanna Moakler. She's just no-holds-barred trashy. Girlfriend says what's on her mind, no matter who's listening. I guess she doesn't have much left to lose at this point. Anyway, Shanna and Kim Kardashian got into a little fight at one of Carmen Electra's parties last weekend, and the kids over at TheDirty.com sat down to chat with Shanna about it. Here's one of Shanna's choice quotes: I was at this bbq and I saw what I thought was a donkey posing on the stairs but mu...
The Diary of Anne Hathaway July 24, 2008Evil BeetAnne Hathaway Oooh, I like Anne Hathaway more and more with each passing day. Since her ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, was arrested on all sorts of bad behavior, the Feds have seized Anne's private diaries as potential evidence. The agents confiscated the intimate diaries of the “Devil Wears Prada†star during another raid on Follieri’s $37,500-a-month Trump Tower pad, according to the sources. Seeking to bolster their case against the dashing Italian, who has been charged with 11...

Dustin Diamond, aka Screech Powers, is going to publish a tell-all about life behind the scenes at Saved by the Bell. The book is called Behind the Bell, and promises to detail "sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying." You know he's just bitter because none of these "sexual escapades" involved him. Still. I will read this book the second it hits shelves....

Batman’s Breakdown: Was It About Money? July 24, 2008Evil BeetChristian Bale Apparently Christian Bale's "verbal assault" against his mother and sister was about a financial issue. Basically, Christian's sister asked him for $200K to help raise her three kids, and Batman said no. His sister responded by talking shit about Christian's wife, and this started the fight between Christian and his mom and sis, which ended in the two women reporting him to a London police station. Total dramz! ...
President Bush: “Wall Street Got Drunk” July 24, 2008Evil BeetUncategorized Sorry for video overload, kids. It's a really slow news week (if you hadn't noticed) but there have been some fun videos, so hopefully you all have headphones in your cubicle at work. I'm trying to dig up non-video stories, but it's tough going right now. Here's a great clip of President Bush talking about how "Wall Street got drunk." He thought all the TV cameras were off, but someone was filming him on a cell phone....
