Kellie Pickler on Childhood Abuse

The AmIdol standout, whose album is at #1 on the country charts, and who may have her own sitcom soon, reveals to Us Weekly that she suffered childhood physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother.“I remember my mother and I were in the kitchen and I said, ‘I wish God would take me away, I’d much rather be dead than live here with you.’ She took a knife out, set it on the counter and said, ‘Here, do it then.’ I was in fourth grade. Of course I never would have acted upon it, but it’s done a lot of emoti...

Month of Makeovers

Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, and now...Tara Reid.
Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, and now...Tara Reid.Remember a year ago when Tara Reid was showing up to events looking like this.Now she looks like this.I'm glad finally someone taught her how to brush/wash her hair and do her makeup. She used to be really smokin and I'm glad she finally embraced the fact that she is 30 and an adult. I'm guessing there was a team of people responsible for this...if so, they should win an award....

The Mile High Club Just Got Dangerous

For those who are unfamiliar with the term "mile high club" it essentially means doing it in the airplane bathroom. It is best done on an international flight when all the lights are out and nobody can tell what you are doing. (Don't ask if I say this from experience). The dumbest thing to do is to try to get some nookie on the airplane in plain sight. A couple, who I'm guessing had had too many cocktails at the airport bar, did just that on a Southwest flight and now are paying the consequences. ...

Billie Jean is Back in a Major Way

I saw Casino Royale yesterday and heard Chris Cornell bust out the theme. It wasn't as bad as you'd think. But I've stumbled across something so horrific that you must listen to it post haste. Chris Cornell covers Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' Here. I have no idea how long that will stay up so hurry. The song could've have been a good cover by someone, somewhere, but Chris comes off like a cross between Bruce Springsteen and Brian Adams. Beautifully Wretched. Enjoy it....

Chantilly Lace and a Hypnotized Face

I don't know that I want to turn into EvilBeet's official CruiseKat guy but the stories seem to be calling to me. Here's a fun tidbit, Katie just dropped three large on some lingerie. Included in the windfall:1) A $340 thong2) Matching robe trimmed with ostrich feathers that set her back $6203) A lace bra with Swarovski crystals for $380 and matching thong with crystals for $175Now admittedly I don't know a ton about thongs but aren't they um.. well not much fabric? What would cost $340? Does...

A Brief Review of Babel

From my new favorite source, a brief yet elegant review of this two-and-a-half-hour Brad Pitt opus."babel sux. dont see it. the end."Also, my beloved JGuars have sent me another Justin video. I adore you guys, but keep your Beet writers straight. Evil T wrote the bit about Justin having a nice voice, not I. (Yeah, I'm watching you.) I truly admire your determination, though, and your Ghandiesque approach to growing the Justin fanbase. Keep at it, guys! I'll keep running them....

O.J. Simpson is a Seriously Disturbed Individual

Mr. Orenthal James refuses to disappear into obscurity, and, if that means he has to keep bringing up that whole yeah-I-killed-my-wife thing, then that is what will happen. Honestly, can someone just take one for the team and give this guy a movie role already?According to the AP, Fox plans to broadcast a two-part interview with Simpson in which he will regale us all with tales of "how he would have committed" the brutal murders of his ex-wife and her friend, Ron Goldman. Simpson has agreed to an ...

Dave Chappelle Pulls a Dave Chappelle

Perhaps Dave Chappelle should try his hand as a magician, since he seems to have this disappearing act down pat. At the last minute, Chappelle canceled this Thursday's scheduled appearance at Las Vegas' Comedy Festival. Bill Maher, whose act was supposed to follow Chappelle's, will now perform an extended set. Chappelle has not provided an explanation, and the Comedy Festival is issuing refunds at points of purchase.This isn't the first time Chappelle has pulled a stunt like this. In May 2005, he...

I Link We’re Alone Now

Rachel Weisz says it's okay to drink while you're pregnant. "Amen to that," says Lindsay Lohan's mom. [Cele|Bitchy]

If there is, in fact, a way to get America to a film version of Sweeney Todd, it's probably Borat. [Seriously? OMG! WTF?]

Michelle Rodriguez In Love with a Girl

Via The Advocate's interview with Kristanna Loken, star of Terminator 3 (although if Rodriguez tells her side of the story, it will undoubtedly be through People, our nation's A- and B-list one-stop-shop for publicly coming out):At first Loken, 27—who has a recurring role as lover of Shane (Katherine Moennig) on Showtime’s The L Word this season—affirmed that she’s in a relationship but wouldn’t specify the name or gender.Then we mentioned the tantalizing stories...
