I'm not really sure what Natalie Maines, of the Dixie Chicks, is thinking. It's been three years since she commented to a London audience that she was "ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas," sending the country music world into its biggest tailspin since Shania Twain showed her belly button in a music video. Angry "patriots" thought she'd never work again, but the controversial singer has another hit record. The first single from the Chicks' new album, "Not Ready to Make Nice...
From Moby's blog. I've noted the spelling errors. I post this mostly because I agree, and because it echoes almost eerily the sentiments I expressed when Brad and Angelina stuck their kid on the cover of People. I've corrected the spelling mostly because I don't really like Moby, either, and because nothing's funnier to me than a moral high ground expressed fearlessly and spelled incorrectly. So without further ado:

Do you want to see more pictures of little Sean Preston Spears waving from the window of his mommy's hospital room? Okay. Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson accidentally schedule their Maui vacations for the same week. That is so weird.Tyra Banks blasts the 'razzi, but not until after she's tipped them off as to where she and Nicole Richie will be doing it. Remember how Howard K. Stern's first statement about the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel emphasized that drugs and alcohol were not involved? To the surp...
Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner finally make out in public. Okay, so, now that this happened, can someone please explain to me who Brody Jenner is? This Page Six tidbit focuses on how Tom Hanks' first wife basically made him out to be Satan in pre-divorce legal filings (Really? In divorce proceedings? She had negative things to say? I really hope someone thought to write a whole book about this. Someone did? Oh good.), but I'm more interested in the last paragraph, which implies that Tom jacked t...
HELLO SEPTEMBER 12.I love you.I think our nation's club owners have figured out that turning away Paris Hilton is a surefire way to get their club's name in all the papers. I'm totally okay with that, Rose Bar at Ian Schrager's Gramercy Park Hotel. I don't know at what point Tom Cruise stopped being hot, but it totally happened. Britney Spears got that baby out, a healthy baby boy born just before 2 am on September 12. After cutting the umbilical cord, the doctors pierced the baby's ear and tattooed his upper arm. I don't know if the bigger news is that Jude and Sienna are dating again, or that Us Weekly'...
Because if I can't blog about the retarded shit celebs did today, the terrorists have already won. David Spade and Heather Locklear are dunzo; her latest boy-toy is a Colorado realtor with a striking resemblance to Joe Simpson. But I adore her, so I'm setting down my bat and walking away from the soft ball. Sean "Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/Diddy" Combs has to ditch the "Diddy" in Britain after a music producer there sues him over the name. Dana Plato's son files a wrongful death suit againt the Diff'ren...
Today has been a real downer of a news day, and here at Evil Beet, we're gonna go to our happy place. Our happy place, of course, is wherever someone is making a total ass of Paris Hilton.Right now, that place is Sir Richard Branson's Oxfordshire estate in the UK, where he threw a fantastically expensive 21st birthday party for his son Sam. The theme was "Mad Hatter." Don't try too hard to understand why "Mad Hatter" is in any way an appropriate theme for a 21st birthday, just keep telling yourself...
This has been an eat-my-hat sort of week for me. First, much to my chagrin, the oft-maligned-and-usually-by-me Brad Pitt did something awesome. Now, John Mayer, who I consistently find to be pedantic, cocky, self-centered, obnoxious and off-the-fucking-charts sexy and brilliant (grrr!) gives a pedantic, cocky, self-centered, obnoxious and off-the-fucking-charts sexy and brilliant interview to Rolling Stone (grrr!). Some highlights:On Brangelina: “Everyone thinks Brad Pitt has it great because he marr...
I hate September 11. I didn't sleep well last night, tossing and turning and waking every hour to allow angry thoughts to run circles in my head, a dizzying and infuriating cycle I've been caught in every year since. Gawker's been light-hearted about it all day, and it's nice to see that and it's gut-wrenching to see that. I don't have it in me just yet.So, frankly, it sucked hardcore to wake up this morning to the news that Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died yesterday in the Bahamas, not 3 days after she gave birth ...
As long as we're on the topic of people who've hooked up with Brad Pitt...Kirsten Dunst put the coke back in her inhaler for long enough to talk to Britain's News of the World about how lucky she is that she doesn't do coke.Seriously.Listen to some choice quotes: "Jake and I couldn't last. He's a stay-at-home boy and I'm an out-on-the-town girl. We tried to spice things up — we had sex in cars, in the bathroom and even by the sea. The only place we didn't have the guts to try was in a wa...
Don't get me wrong: I'm still mad at Brad Pitt. When he walked out on Jennifer Aniston, I felt like he took all my fairytale-marriage-to-Brad-Pitt dreams along with him. You'd think they would have evaporated when he married Jennifer Aniston, and, consequently, not me, but somehow they persisted still. Like I could have my fairytale marriage to Brad Pitt through Rachel Green. I soaked up every minute of our power-couple union. What kind of person operates in such a distorted, delusional reality? I...
He's been hit with a few shells, but apparently at no point with a car insurance policy. Rapper 50 cent is pulled over in his Lambo in NYC for making an unsafe lane change. He's later handcuffed and taken to a police station on charges of an expired driver license, his vehicle being unregistered in NY, driving an uninsured vehicle and having that brick of heroin in the back seat. And by "having that brick of heroin in the back seat" I of course mean "being black." Gawker's got art. Jessica Simpson's management fires her publicist for trying to make i...
