It turns out they're just not very smart! Just what we'd suspected all along. Thank you to Salon for putting it so eloquently:So what explains Cook's popularity? His comedy is most notable for what it lacks: a critique of the political climate (Dennis Miller, George Carlin, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher), a commentary on our culture (Chris Rock, David Chappelle), a slightly tweaked perspective (Ray Romano, Steven Wright, Jerry Seinfeld), outrageously dirty material (Eddie Murphy, Andrew Dice Clay), or just a ...
Is Ivanka Trump dating Lance Armstong? Probably not, but there's video of her refusing to answer questions about him, which is kind of like dating, right?Were you totally psyched for the remake of Revenge of the Nerds? Don't be. They cast Kristin Cavallari in it. Bitch ruins everything.Britney Spears wants Annie Leibovitz to handle the publicity photos of her latest emotional crutch, Sutton Pierce.People who can't get into Hyde this week: Brandon Davis, Chyna, you.ScoJo totally had a nose job.It's official. The Tori Spelling demon spawn is en route. Quick! To the storm...
I don't even know who the "comedian" is playing Screech in this Weekend Update bit on the Screech sex tape, but nothing about it is right. Not even the costume. How hard is it to get a costume that looks like something Screech would wear? IT IS NOT HARD, LORNE MICHAELS. It is not hard at all. And the voice? Has he ever even seen a SBTB episode? Did someone just tell him "He sounds kind of like Kermit the Frog," so he just went with a Kermit voice? The mannerisms are all wrong too. There is a cricke...

Yesterday, I wanted to run the George Michael story with the headline "George Michael's Double Whammy," but she'd beat me to it. Today, she ran a Bobby Brown story as "Fleeing Bobby Brown," which I used as a Bobby headline on Film.com a couple weeks ago.

Hi all! Quick note from management. First, thanks to everyone who comes by this site each day to check out what's new and hot in celeb gossip. You guys rock!!!Secondly, I've begun writing the celeb gossip blog for Film.com. It is an awesome site, with all sorts of cool info on movies, TV, DVD and celebs, written by some of the best bloggers in the blogosphere (tooting my own horn a bit, I suppose). Don't worry -- I'll still be here writing on The Beet every day, but if you want more Evil Beet sco...
The timing of this is a little too close for me not to become suspicious. Less than a week after Nick Carter dragged Debra LaFave's name out of obscurity -- admitting he lost his virginity to the Florida schoolteacher who was, years later, charged with having sex with her 14-year-old-student -- LaFave's ex-husband, Owen, begins his publicity tour for Gorgeous Disaster: The Shocking Story of Debra LaFave.In the book, Owen says, "In hindsight, I made bad decisions. There were red flags. I put up with he...
Because one of these days, she's gonna pull a Kate Moss and get caught putting powder up her nose (please, God?). More drunkie Paris (including an ass shot) here. ...

Larry Birkhead has filed suit against Anna Nicole Smith in Los Angeles, hoping to compel the actress/model/trainwreck to return to the United States from the Bahamas so that a paternity test can be performed on her baby, Dannielynn Hope, who Birkhead claims to have fathered. Smith claims her baby daddy is her longtime attorney, Howard K. Stern. Papers from the lawsuit are sealed, but rumor has it they contain an array of disturbing allegations against Anna Nicole, including that she has been tak...
It's the same as the problem with Saturday Night Live.The sketches aren't funny.Aaron Sorkin, we learn, has a weakness -- other than crack cocaine, of course -- and it's sketch comedy. What makes the Sorkin thing work -- fast-paced, pedantic, clipped dialogue -- for whatever reason just doesn't translate in the sketches on S60. I can't quite pinpoint the problem, but I have a feeling Sorkin relies too heavily on an audience's relationship with and empathy towards his characters, and you don't get t...
