Good and Bad: Revenge of the Nerds Project Scrapped

TMZ reports that the remake of Revenge of the Nerds shut down production just weeks after filming began, after they lost their location at Emory University, where they'd planned to shoot a third of the movie. It is thought that Emory pulled out of the project because of its "raunchy" nature (um...did anyone at Emory think to watch the original?) .This is sad because I loved the original of this movie and was kind of excited to see a remake. It is wonderful, however, because it means one less publicity opportunity for Kristin Cavallari, who'd recently begu...

Nicky Hilton Sues for Hotel Name

Nicky Hilton is being forced to take a break from planning the launch of her be-penised line of boutique hotels, Nicky O, as she's suing Eneliko Smith, a man she'd hired to help her develop the hotel. Nicky says Smith "held himself out as an experienced operator and marketer of boutique hotels." Well, Smith is clearly far more experienced in matters of business than the wee Hilton, as he had the foresight to file a patent application for the name.Nicky is pissed -- she's asking for damages, and she...

Blind Item! Ellen Pompeo & Mia, Sittin’ in a Tree…

From Gatecrasher:Which prime-time cutie could use some medical advice from her co-stars? At a recent appearance, the gossip was all about how her fingers are discolored from bulimia.So this pretty much has to be Ellen Pompeo. I guess Sarah Chalke from Scrubs is another possibility, but I don't think it's her (newBecky knows better than that). Or someone on ER? Are there still people on ER? Are there still people who watch ER? Every time I see a preview for that show it catches me by surprise, shakes ...

Evidently The President of Kazakhstan Has a Sense of Humor

Every few weeks The Beet will get an email from someone upset at something that we have written. We secretly love these emails because we know that we are hitting a nerve. For the famous, and want to be famous, really any publicity is good publicity. Don't believe me? Paris Hilton is the best example. Linsday Lohan secretly owes the paparazzi for her career. Getting your name out there is the name of the game.The President of Kazaskstan thankfully has realized this idea that any publicity is good publi...

Clay Aiken vs. Kelly Ripa: ROSIE WEIGHS IN

Check out the footage. Says Rosie: "If that was a straight man, if that was a cute man, if that was a guy that she didn't question his sexuality, she would have said a different thing. To me that's a homophobic remark." (This is based on Ripa telling Aiken that she didn't know where his hands had been -- after he suddenly put his hand on her mouth). See, I agree with Rosie about the cute man part -- Brad Pitt can put his hands inside my mouth, or really wherever he wants, no need to ask permission -- but anyone else -- gay, straight or Clay Aiken -- is going to take some heat from me if they stick their hand on my mouth. Ripa phones in to say just that.

Paris Hilton Has Alcoholism The Flu

Our favorite heiress was partying in Las Vegas recently, when she puked on stage. Josh Radin gives us the play-by-play on his MySpace page.“Paris Hilton …was sitting next to me the whole night. Seriously, next to me, like our legs were touching for a good 5 hours. Now don’t get the wrong idea. She never once said hello, nor even looked in my direction. Five hours. And it was unreal to watch. She must have pulled a compact out of her bag every 6 minutes to stare at herself and p...

Robert Altman Dies, World Continues Per Normal

It's been on a hundred sites already but I like the guy who runs the site linked to below so if you've got to read serious news about Robert Altman passing away do so here.Now we return to normal haterade speak, Robert Altman was never my guy, but if I had a dime for every time someone said some random movie was "Altman-Esque" I'd be living on Goddamn planet dime. Truly he hasn't had a worthy film in a long time, I mean you're looking at MASH (1970) or The Player (1992) if you wanted to be hurtful an...

The CBS Strikes Back

Remember the Janet Jackson nonsense? Well CBS does to and they are suing the FCC over the 550k they were fined. I think someone at CBS realized the only show they have left that people watch is C.S.I. so they decided they'd just start lashing out at monolithic organizations. Next up, the Boy Scouts! Actually, they kid of deserve it. Anyway. I will say in this point they've got the high ground, the FCC is a demon from hell sent to haunt our dreams. Here's a bit of the reasoning behind the dec...
