Today's Evil Beet Gossip

That Chick At Yale Outsmarted Perez Hilton

Aliza Shvartz, Pictures, Photos I know, I know. Weird, right? Here at Evil Beet, we decided not to cover the story of Aliza Shvartz (Best. Name. Ever.), the Yale undergrad who claimed she impregnated herself and aborted the fetuses regularly as some form of bizarre art project. We didn't cover it because I figured the story went one of two ways: 1) It was all some retarded prank (an "herbal" abortion? Um, right ...) or 2) This girl was getting a ton of press coverage for something I feel is morally reprehensible. You know, I'm all about a woman's right to...

Why I Am Not Doing American Idol Recaps This Season

I've gotten so many comments and emails about this that I figured I should just make a general announcement about it. I LOVED doing American Idol recaps. It was incredibly fun, and a great outlet for all my venom. And I'm delighted to find how much you all liked them, and how much you miss them. It fills my evil little heart with pride. Through a variety of strange series of events, the three places I have lived in since late January (yes, I've moved around a lot) didn't have very good access to television. Like, at my dad's place, there was a TV set, but no actual cable access. We could only watch DVDs. Part of my dad's grand scheme for "mindful living." And at my new place in Seattle, there's a TV, but no DVR or TiVo, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn the closed captioning off. So watching TV is almost painful out here. I plan to remedy this situation for next season, and bring back the recaps, but I've honestly only seen a handful of episodes this season myself. />I've gotten so many comments and emails about this that I figured I should just make a general announcement about it.

Nobody Wants to Be Paris Hilton’s BFF

paris_tits5.jpg Insiders in the New York area report that the casting call for Paris Hilton's upcoming reality show -- where she's going to choose a new BFF -- had dismal results. They say only 40 to 50 people showed up. Said Paris on her MySpace page: there were “NO open calls for the show” and “every event is exclusive and hand-picked by invitation only ... I didn't want my potential BFFs to have to wait in a long open-call lines.” In fairness, this is probably true. I did so...

Congratulations, Dear, You’re Almost Famous

Meet Kimberly, who'll be appearing on the upcoming season of The Real World, in Hollywood. (I thought they were done with that show?) Kimberly hates ugly people, fat people, dumb people, bitches, ex-girlfriends, and a great deal of other folks. Her accent is obnoxious. It's not, like, that slow-paced, calming, lazy Southern drawl. It's, like, if you took a Southern drawl and shot it up with speed and gave it a bright red Porsche and let it drive around LA for awhile. Kimberly's dream is to be famous. Tragically for everyone involved, it looks like that dream's coming true. />MTVMusic VideosMTV ShowsEntertainment News Meet Kimberly, who'll be appearing on the upcoming season of The Real World, in Hollywood.

OMG I Wish I Could Have Gotten the “Sex Talk” from Ashton Kutcher

ashton_girls.jpg Ohhhhh, I remember the sex talk. I tried to avoid it forever. Whenever my mom would be like, "We need to have a serious conversation, Beet," I'd be like, "I have anywhere else to be." And sometimes I would just shout at her that I hated her and run away. At one point, she resorted to putting a copy of What's Happening to My Body? in the bathroom cabinet. This made the bathroom cabinet taboo to me, and I refused to open it, even to get a fresh roll of toilet paper. I knew what was inside: that...

I’m At Work!

officepic.jpg Most people think of working from home as living the dream. And this may be true, if you have small children, or an ailing parent, or a porn addiction. I have none of those things, and have been blogging full-time, from home, for coming up on a year now. It kind of makes you crazy, slowly but surely. You miss going to meetings. Yes, meetings. The concept of a group of people sitting around a conference table, listening to themselves talk while ignoring all other viewpoints, over the faint ...

Cynthia Nixon Did Not Say One of the Sex and the City Characters Is Dying

Above find the video-taped interview that people are using to claim Cynthia Nixon "let it slip" that one of the SaTC characters dies in the movie. She doesn't say that at all. The interviewer asks her about it, and she plays coy, which is absolutely the appropriate thing to do. It doesn't confirm or deny anything, it just fuels interest. My favorite part of this interview is toward the end (around 1:55), when the interviewer tells her, "Now, as an actress you started out very young. As a lesbian you started out very old," and Cynthia says "That is fair to say." Then the interview gets pretty hilarious. Anyway, the point is: this speculation is stupid. She absolutely did not say that one of the characters dies. So let's all move on. /> Above find the video-taped interview that people are using to claim Cynthia Nixon "let it slip" that one of the SaTC characters dies in the movie.

Yup, Papa Joe’s Trying to Cash in on Ashlee’s Pregnancy

ashlee_joe.jpg She's not even showing yet -- and there's been no confirmation from anyone in her camp -- but Papa Joe Simpson is reportedly already trying to cash in on Ashlee's rumored pregnancy. Says a source: "Joe is contacting all the weeklies and asking them to pony up $1 million to put Ashlee on the cover ... The deal would include photos of Ashlee - taken by Joe, of course, so he can make more money - an interview and photos of the baby when she has it." Another in the magazine world says that Ashlee could...
