John Mayer and Kristin Cavallari??? September 10, 2009Evil BeetJohn Mayer, Kristin Cavallari Sigh. I'm just gonna tell you what Janet Charleton told me, and I'm not going to copy-paste it into my text as though I wrote it myself, unlike another, unnamed gossip blogger: If you read Page Six you might remember a recent blind item they printed about secret trysts between a reality star and a well known singer. We are revealing that pair to be John Mayer and “The Hills” star Kristin Cavallari! They have been hooking up secretly at a mutual friend’s house in the Mt Olympus area of the Hollywood Hills for t...
Ellen Degeneres to Judge American Idol September 10, 2009Evil BeetAmerican Idol, Ellen Degeneres This comes so far out of left field, it's guaranteed to be a home run. As we were all sitting around, shaking our heads and wondering how on earth American Idol could continue to be interesting during its post-Paulum depression, the FOX executives were doing something absolutely genius: They were hiring Ellen Degeneres. Ellen will take the fourth judge's seat after its preliminary auditions phase (so basically she gets to miss out on the worst part.) "I've watched since the beginning and I've a...
Plugging Shit My Friends Do: SmellBent.com September 1, 2009Evil BeetUncategorized I went to high school with a guy named Brent. He is one of the funniest and smartest (and gayest!) peeps I've ever had the opportunity to get to know. (Although, in fairness -- and because some of them are reading this -- my high-school was pretty packed with smart, funny, talented gay men. We had an excess. And I love you all, darlings, for your Spice Girls tattoos and for your creme brulees and for always volunteering to get high with me, but mostly I love you for your wit and your charm and...
The One Where I Weigh in on DJ AM’s Death August 28, 2009Evil BeetDJ AM Molls has done a fantastic job of keeping everyone updated on the death of Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM. I want to weigh in briefly. I know a lot of people are struggling to come to terms with his death right now. I'm one of them. I knew Adam. We weren't by any means close, but our social circles overlapped when I lived in LA, and I had the pleasure of seeing him every now and again. I know that in the coverage of his passing, the media is going to focus on the meth pipe in his apartment, and...
Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper Get Cozy August 26, 2009Evil BeetUncategorized OK OK, it's not really like that. The twosome hit the red carpet -- along with co-star Thomas Hayden Church -- to promote their new movie, All About Steve. I know Sandra is "happily" married to Jesse James, and Bradley -- uh -- may or may not be having semi-regular sex with Jennifer Aniston, but these two sure do look a little too cozy to me. Like, if I were Jesse James and I saw these pics, I'd be all like, "I hate these pics." Actually Jesse James wouldn't say "these pics." He'd probably say "...
My “Eat, Pray, Love” Nightmare Continues August 26, 2009Evil BeetJulia Roberts Julia Roberts insists on continuing to star in the film version of Eat, Pray, Love and has not yet been replaced by Rachel McAdams, despite the many phone calls I have made to the studio. (And contrary to what the harassment suit would like you to think, the phone calls were not threatening, they were helpful.) Here's Julia ruining a perfectly good movie in Rome today, on the Piazza. [gallery]...
Tori Amos Slams Lady Gaga, Respects Britney Spears August 26, 2009Evil BeetLady Gaga, Tori Amos Tori Amos doesn't give interviews all that often, but when she does it's always super-awesome. This is what she told The Sun about Lady GaGa: She's what I call a meteor - singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. But then there are people like Neil Young who show up at Glastonbury 40 years into their career. And that's a very different kind of artist. Neil Young doesn't have to get his bum out on stage! The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alon...
Good Job, Kirsten! August 26, 2009Evil BeetKirsten Dunst, Sean Stewart A year after her stint at Cirque Lodge, Kirsten Dunst was spotted stumbling wasted out of The Roosevelt after throwing back double vodkas all night. It's one of several times she's been out drinking at high-profile LA bars since her rehab stay. I think the Cirque Lodge needs to add a class to its rehab curriculum. In fact, I think they should add it to the weekly activities at Promises and Wonderland as well. The class should be called How to Have a Giant Relapse Quietly. I will teach it. I will arrive with a map of Los Angeles and...
The Many Looks of Christina Applegate August 26, 2009Evil BeetChristina Applegate OK, loves. We're almost done promoting ABC's TV on DVD. I promise. This part is actually a lot of fun. They wanted a photo gallery. I was like "A photo gallery? Shall I take pictures of my television? Or perhaps just my DVD player?" But they were willing to be a little flexible, so I thought it would be fun to do a fashion retrospective on Christina Applegate, the star of ABC's Samantha Who? (Hey, you can buy the DVDs of it here!) This turned out to be a lot of fun, because, frankly, going through photos of Christina Applegate starting in 198...
Oh Shit Ted Kennedy’s Dead August 25, 2009Evil BeetTed Kennedy Very sad news tonight. Sen. Ted Kennedy died shortly before midnight Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 77. The man known as the "liberal lion of the Senate" had fought a more than year-long battle with brain cancer, and according to his son had lived longer with the disease than his doctors expected him to. "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our...
Why Do Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Suddenly Look Very Different? August 25, 2009Evil BeetAshley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen Okay, so I know that they're not technically identical twins, and everyone says they've always been able to tell them apart, but I swear up until today they always looked basically the same to me. You usually knew which one MK was because she looked just a tad more smirky than Ashley (but, really, don't they both always look smirky?), but in this new set of pictures Mary-Kate (on the left) suddenly looks like a totally different person. Almost to the point where I'm wondering if there was some...
Lindsay Lohan Thinks She Can Be Further Embarrassed August 25, 2009Evil BeetLindsay Lohan From the Chicago Sun-Times gossip column: I've learned the real reason Lindsay Lohan is so upset about the theft of the safe from her L.A. house is the contents included some very incriminating videos and photos, plus legal documents, that LiLo believes could cause embarrassment if made public. OMG incriminating videos and photos? Will she be having sex? Doing drugs? Calling Paris Hilton a cunt? Hopefully all of the above! But it would be nothing new to us! I'm not sure what Lindsay L...
