Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Redefining Blogging?

anna_w.jpg Per usual, Anna Wintour's right. According to Page Six, "They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." You know, it's true, the word "blog" is awkward and totally unglamorous, and the only word more annoying is "blogosphere." Someone inside ...

FOOT BOOBIES!!

foot_boobie_small.jpg This has nothing to do with celebrity gossip and honestly I don't even want to know how my friend stumbled across this, but she sent me this link tonight and I laughed for like 18 hours. The images are from an article in the Dermatology Online Journal, and I understand about every fifth word, but what I have deduced is that this chick has a nipple growing on the bottom of her foot, and that is the funniest thing in the whole world. For high-res pics (ewwwww) click the thumbnails. And don't say I never do anything nice for you. ...

"Madonna, predictably enough, has risen from the lotus position to turn the full force of her legal team against rogue nanny Melissa Dumas in an attempt to silence her." [POTP]

If you're anything like me, you ask yourself on an almost daily basis what happened to Rider Strong, that kid from Boy Meets World who sooo did not live up to his hotness potential. It's not like he can't find work; he'll be starring in Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, and the boys at Pajiba called dibs on the Topanga joke. [Pajiba]

I can't follow the Anna Nicole drama anymore. DListed is at least trying. [DListed]

Against my advice, Amy Winehouse did not call her newest single "Okay Okay Okay I'll Go To Rehab," but, rather, "Back to Black." Check out the video. [popbytes]

Nicole Richie takes Adderall. Related: it's Friday. [Yeeeah!]

Uma Thurman gets busy with a hose. [Drunken Stepfather]

Come on, Chris Rock, tell us what you really think about the President. [Bossip]

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better in the life of Carmen Electra, she falls flat on her ass on the Max Factor show's runway. [SOW, video]

Oh My God I Am Old

real-world-logo.jpg Bunim-Murray Productions is beginning casting for the 20th -- and what may be the last -- season of Real World. Bunim-Murray's contract with MTV ends after this season, and, while they may or may not renew, it seems they are hoping this twentieth season will be maybe a little less vapid and hyper-sexed than the previous, oh, fifteen seasons. Reads the release: For Real World’s upcoming 20th season, we are searching for cast members with career and life goals that they want to pursue...

Drew’s Got a New Man

drew_spike.jpg Just months after splitting from Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti (who quickly hopped into the sack with Kirsten Dunst, aspiring White House Drug Czar), the always adorable Drew Barrymore is officially dating director Spike Jonze, the ex-husband of Sofia Coppola. In a fabulous Hollywood twist, Drew's BFF Cameron Diaz is reportedly hated by Sofia, who is rumored to have based the ditzy blonde Kelly character in Lost in Translation on Diaz (weird ... I always just kind of assumed that was Britney Sp...

The Beet’s Music Post

Just for the hell of it. Because once in awhile I just feel I have to save the music. This is Something Corporate with "I Woke Up in a Car." It's a few years old, but it's, like, the best song ever. />...

It’s a Whole New Game Now: TMZ Hits Below the Beltway

tmz.jpg Okay, the headline's a rip-off of a Dave Barry title. But still. TMZ (a division of Time Warner), long the bane of Hollywood celebs, plans to launch TMZDC, where they will turn their lens and venom on the Washington political scene. While this may be horrible news for politicians, it's probably in general a very good thing for politics, because, hey, if TMZ's covering it, I just might follow the election this year. Ooh, this gives me an idea! Maybe, in light of the upcoming preside...
