Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Kanab, Utah

Leo and I are at a Super 8 in Kanab, Utah. God, this is truly the middle of nowhere. Someone mentioned to me today that perhaps I shouldn't give away my exact location every night, lest some crazy stalker try to come after me. But you know what? If you're willing to drive all the way to Kanab, Utah just to rape me, you've earned it, buddy. I woke up this morning with seventeen bug bites of indeterminate origin. This is not typical Beet hyperbole. There are actually seventeen bites. I counted...

Lindsay Lohan Knows She Can’t Beat Britney for an Emmy

Lindsay Lohan has decided she will not seek an Emmy for her under-a-minute guest appearance on Ugly Betty. "The appearance was brief," said her publicist, Leslie Sloane. "We made a decision to wait." A decision to wait? For what? Seriously, Leslie, every day you wait is another huge gamble on the assumption that Lindsay Lohan will be alive tomorrow. You know that. I know you just didn't want her to go head-to-head with the Britster, who has put her name in for consideration. Lindsay could never beat out Britney's genius turn in ...

Sadness!

NBC journalist Tim Russert passed away on Thursday from a massive heart attack at the age of 58. You can read everything you could ever want to know about it here. But basically Mr. Russert knew he was at risk for a heart attack, and had done everything he could, through diet and exercise, to mitigate the risk factors. He'd just forgotten to carry a defibrillator in his pocket at all times. The human body sucks sometimes. RIP, Mr. Russert. You'll be missed. ...

Twin Falls, Idaho!

Leo and I are at the Best Western in Twin Falls, ID -- where, the prepubescent boy at the front desk assures me, there are actual twin falls. We have no plans to actually see them, but I may pick up a brochure when I leave tomorrow. It is also home to the slowest Wi-Fi connection on the planet. So bear with me. We began our journey on I-90, and soon moved to I-82. It took us through Yakima, Washington, which is Leo's birthplace. I tried to explain this to him, but he was unimpressed. Mostly he w...

Road Trip!

Leo and I are hitting the road this afternoon! We're driving back to Phoenix this weekend, where we will pick up my cats and bring them back to their new home in Seattle. I'm taking a different route than I took on my way here, so we're going to get to see parts of Idaho and Utah this time, and I'm really excited about that. I've never been to those states. Because it's hard to blog and drive, posting will be slow for the rest of today and this weekend, but I will still be blogging ...

Enjoying LA!

Lily Allen's not gonna let a little blog war with Perez Hilton keep her from getting out in the Los Angeles sunshine. Lily hit up a Coffee Bean -- um, I assume not the one Perez works at, unless the two of them have conspired on this thing as a publicity stunt -- on Thursday afternoon for a cool drink. I'm not going to say she looks great here, but I am going to say that it's great to see a celebrity out in public dressed like a normal human being. Her outfit's, like, fancy compared to w...

Cuteness!

You know, with so many newer celebrity marriages ending faster than you can say "reality TV show," it's hard to remember that, once upon a time, celebrities got married and stayed married. Warren Beatty -- who was quite the player in his younger years -- and wife Annette Bening showed up hand-in-hand to watch Warren receive his Lifetime Life Achievement award in Hollywood on Thursday night. They've been married since 1992. What a gorgeous couple!...

Mario Lopez Is a Diva

Page Six has an interesting bit today about Diva Mario Lopez and his fellow co-star in Broadway's A Chorus Line. Last month, Mario Lopez and co-star Nick Adams clashed when Lopez refused to wear his character Zach's trademark costume of a long-sleeve tan sweater. As first reported by The Post's Michael Riedel, Lopez wanted to show off his biceps, so he wore a short-sleeve brown shirt in order to display his "guns." Lopez also requested that Adams, who plays assistant choreographer Larry, cover ...
