Ah, blog backlash. As a mounting wave of celebrity vitriol prepares to crash upon the shores of the next generation of opinion makers -- those who don't have to run their words past an editor -- a once-hot Jared Leto has grabbed his eyeliner and is writing mean things about us on bathroom mirrors. Says Leto:I think that blogs should die a sudden death. It’s just ridiculous. It’s like a playground for four-year-olds. People say and do things in the world of blogs that they would never...
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Ah ha ha ha ha!I am so funny. Great title, Beet.(I did not get much sleep last night.)Oh sorry you guys don't even know why it's so funny yet.Or unfunny. Okay then.So Lou Diamond Phillips was charged with domestic battery today following his August 11 arrest for kicking his girlfriend's ass. Or allegedly doing that. Not sure. I'm too tired to read the legalese.It's okay, dude. If I were in Hollywood Homicide, I'd be angry, too....

[Via TechCrunch]WSJ reports that "people familiar with the matter" are saying that Facebook has been in acquisition discussions with Yahoo, Microsoft and Viacom over the last year, but Yahoo is looking like the front runner, with a price tag of $1B. That's B like billion.This is Web 2.0, baby, alive and kicking.I remember a couple years ago reading an article about how Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's then-20-year-old founder, had been offered $100M for the site and wasn't interested. He'd said someth...
This has nothing to do with celebrities or gossip, but it has a whole lot to do with funny, and FUNNY IS WHAT WE ARE ABOUT.

On August 3, my ever-vigilant mother sent me a link to a website she thought I'd find amusing, DontDateHimGirl.com. I did find it amusing, so much so that I blogged about it, reluctantly repeating names of some of the poor chaps who'd been blasted on the site. I hadn't thought much about that particular post until today, when I received this email, from one of the young men whose name and public blasting I'd re-printed in part:

People in this country seem to think it would be a good thing if Lindsay Lohan moved to London. Such thinking belies a tacit ignorance of the economic underpinnings of our nation. A drastic shift in the supply/demand curve of the blow industry impacts all of us.Cameron Diaz filed a police report accusing a photog of assault with a deadly weapon. Angelina and Brad continue their tireless quest to buy our forgiveness, donating $1M each to the Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders. I...
Fergie recently made the following statement about gossip bloggers to a gay NYC paper called Homo Xtra:I just think, ‘Wow, I’ve worked so hard for this, but what are you doing other than sitting there behind your computers and talking shit about people?’ If people don’t like me, fine, but don’t dis people if you’re not getting off your ass and doing something about your own life.That's so true, dear. We can't all share our vapid, inarticulate opinions wit...
Apparently Joe Simpson didn't get the memo that Dukes of Hazzard sucked. He's planning to open a chain of restaurants called Daisy Dukes, to capitalize on that one movie that capitalized on his daughter's tits and ass. I don't understand how he has time for this sort of endeavor, between micromanaging his daughters' careers and personally photographing their breasts just so, but where there is money to be made from his children's sexuality, there you will find Joe Simpson.The former reverend plans...
For the eight of you who are still watching the actual SNL rather than the newer, hipper, Sorkin'd-out Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, you'll be sorry (or perhaps not) to hear that the annual bloodletting at the Lorne Michaels antiquity means the show will say goodbye to Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Finesse Mitchell. In honor of what would have been Jerry Orbach's 71st birthday, TNT will spend October paying tribute to the late actor by airing every Law & Order episode graced by his unique b...
Ew! When I reported earlier that House of Carter's Aaron Carter got engaged to Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche, I was completely unaware that Peniche used to date Nick Carter, Aaron's older brother. That is just so wrong. Tom Green (remember him? no?) shatters his tibia while skateboarding. He plans to air film of the surgery on his online talk show, Tom Green Live, which certainly won't garner anywhere near the attention he received for his televised testicle surgery, or, you know, for his televised sh...
Redux Beverages in Las Vegas debuted its new beverage at NYC Fashion Week this week: "Cocaine."The beverage, targeted at party-goers (really? why?), is supposedly 3.5x stronger than Red Bull (its inventor, Jamey Kirby, says it is "350 percent stronger," because, you know, that sounds like more), and -- get this -- has a secret ingredient to imitate the mouth- and throat-numbing properties of actual cocaine.Their website looks pretty low-budg, which is fine, because you don't really need a complicated m...
