Today's Evil Beet Gossip

I’m Sick Today. Phoning It In. Sorry for the Unfunny.

Is Natalie Portman dating British billionaire Nat Rotschild? Say it ain't so!Mary-Kate Olsen is totally her new boyfriend's Mini Me.While taping Oprah on Wednesday, Jennfer Aniston claims she and Vince Vaughn have not broken up, but also notes that they're not engaged. Um, did anyone mention to Ms. Aniston that there are pictures of the man she's not broken up with making out with a woman who's not her floating all over the Internet?I'd be excited to run into Counting Crows' Adam Duritz pretty much anywhere, with the exception being on my boyfriend's ba...

Angelina Jolie’s Blackface Not a Big Hit with One Black Person

The casting (and cosmetic skin-darkening) of Angelina Jolie as the mixed-race Marianne Pearl in the upcoming A Mighty Heart, about the life and death of journalist Daniel Pearl, is reportedly drawing some criticism."I had assumed that the days when white actors took on the roles of black people had long passed away... There are mixed-race or black actresses who could have done a damn good job in this role," says the blogger at BlackLooks.org, continuing that "what is taking place here is an act of arrogance and whitewashing by people who think that because they are super-rich they can be anyth...

Tara Reid Thinks She Was at Some Point Perfect

Much to-do has been made this morning about the latest Us Weekly cover featuring Tara Reid and her shameless ploy for publicity plastic surgery nightmare. If you'd like some choice quotes from Tara regarding her botched boobies, you can read them here.What I'd like to discuss today is the quote run on the cover: "I'll never be perfect again."I love this. It's quintessential Tara. The implication that she was, at any point, perfect, is insane to me. Where on the timeline of your career were you prev...

DRAMA!!!! Eric "McSteamy" Dane is Married to Dylan’s Dead Wife!!!!

Oh, this is so sad. This post was supposed to be much, much funnier. I heard a little rumor that there was a scuffle on the set of Grey's Anatomy, between Dempsey and Isaiah Washington, so I checked out Grey's Anatomy Insider for more information. For those of you who actually cared about this -- they fought because they're incredibly vain (and prolly jealous that hottie Eric Dane officially joined the cast), and then they made up, and said incredibly vain and vaguely homoerotic things to the pre...

You Can Please Some of the Browsers Some of the Time…

Donald Trump Thinks Angelina Jolie’s a Dirty Slut

Finally The Donald and I agree on something. Because I'm still mad that Randal beat out Rebecca, and that was like 8 seasons ago. From a recent interview on Larry King Live.KING: OK, back to some thing current. You recently applauded Brad Pitt's stance on not marrying Angelina Jolie. I believe you said that you consider everyone -- when he said everyone should be married but don't bug him, why?TRUMP: Well, look, number one, I know her father. Her father is a nice guy. I think she treats him like a d...

Vince Vaughn Making Out with Some Chick

Bad day for Jennifer Aniston, good day for The Sun. After knocking it out of the ballpark with their hard-hitting headline on the North Korean nuclear crisis, they report that a drunken Vaughn was making out with a mystery blonde in London:The comedy actor got up close with the mystery girl after arriving for a London showbiz bash in a stained sweatshirt and with the fly of his jeans undone.The Dodgeball funnyman’s unkempt appearance amazed fellow guests at the after-show party for a theatre ev...

MTV So Ready to Infect You

MTV comes out with a Room Raiders for the born-after-1995 set -- Meet or Delete is a dating show in which contestants are allowed to rummage through one another's computers. The premise itself isn't terrible, and allows for all the interacting-with-ex-girlfriend-via-IM drama that Room Raiders lacked, but, as Gawker points out, the show's current viral marketing is retarded.

Tim Allen Gets Married

I'll admit I have a strange fondness for Tim Allen. I feel I have to explain this.Long, long ago, I started a fledgling, vaguely celebrity-focused blog, which I would call The Evil Beet. I wasn't entirely clear on the scope or the voice, and I'd grabbed a pre-fab pink and purple template from Blogger (in retrospect, it was awful, and I apologize to those of you who were readers back then), and I sat for hours deciding what my first entry would be.Earlier in the day, a friend of mine, a writer for...
