There had been some rumors circulating that perhaps Natasha Richardson died of a brain aneurysm that just happened to coincide with her ski tumble, but the autopsy report indicates otherwise. They say she died from bleeding in the skull caused by the fall.
The medical examiner ruled her death an accident, and doctors said she might have survived had she received immediate treatment. However, nearly four hours elapsed between her lethal fall at her admission to a hospital.
The Tony-wi...
... but it's not exactly the most hetero thing in the world, either.
Here are some of the pics of Adam Lambert being, well, gay, that are floating around the Internet right now. Whatever. The producers certainly can't give him the boot for this stuff, and I for one am delighted that we have an openly gay contestant on Idol this season. Although I have to admit that I'm a little jealous that he makes a hotter chick than I do. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Congrats to Kelly Clarkson, who's dethroned Taylor Swift as the reigning queen of the charts. Kelly's latest album, All I Ever Wanted, sold 255,000 copies this week and landed her the top spot. Taylor's slipped to the #5 spot, which is totally understandable, because she's been at the top of the charts for the past geological era.
Meanwhile, Taylor Hicks, another Idol winner, sold a totally embarrassing 9,000 copies of his second album, The Distance. Tickets for his performance tonight at The Roxy have been reduced to zero dollars -- that's right, free -- and the show still hasn't sold out. Simon Cowell must be doing a happy dance right now. I ha...
Whoops!! Kanye West was charged today with misdemeanor vandalism, battery and grand theft, and his road manager, Don Crawley, has been charged with the same counts, but two of each. This all stems back to a fight they had with paparazzi at LAX on September 11 of last year. Video of the incident showed both men wresting a camera away from a photographer, and both smashing parts of it into the ground. Crawley also allegedly smashed a second photographer's camera. The incident resulted in minor ...
We're hearing from insider sources that the producers of American Idol are freaking out right now, because apparently they've discovered that Adam Lambert did some gay porn in his pre-Idol days, and that it's hanging out on the Internet right now.
Is anyone actually surprised by this?
I haven't been able to track down the actual porn, but if anyone knows where it is, feel free to email me at evilbeet@gmail.com. ...
Columnist Liz Smith is reporting that Natasha Richardson was taken off life support at 1:30 pm EST today.
Tuesday I was sitting at lunch with Page Six’s Paula Froelich and casting director Bonnie Timmermann at Michael’s restaurant. The head man came and whispered in my ear, "Natasha is dead." I was worried whether to pass this bad news on to Paula and Bonnie, knowing that the latter was a great friend of Liam Neeson. But I did and therein lies the problem with un-inspected news. He hadn’t sa...
Natasha Richardson is definitely in a New York hospital now, as her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, was photographed entering the hospital to visit her ailing daughter.
The family is expected to make a statement on Wednesday about Natasha's condition.
I, for one, will be praying, for the strength of her family and for a full recovery for Natasha, if that is God's will. If you're not a prayer person, you could just send some positive, healthy vibes out into the universe for this family. They...
First Whitney, then Lauren -- I guess we couldn't expect Audrina to stick around the scene, especially now that she got all that plastic surgery and got her ceiling eyes fixed. She's on to bigger and better things -- specifically, her own spinoff with Mark Burnett Productions. Burnett's proposed reality series will follow Audrina's personal and professional life. The show will be pitched to networks starting next week. OMG. You just cannot make a show about Audrina. Unless you're going to mar...
This is the scene of sheer insanity as Lindsay Lohan left a hair salon on Monday.
Geez, why would anyone want this level of fame? And how could you possibly keep in mind who you are as a person when this is the scene that greets you at a hair salon, let alone a court date? It must be so hard to keep your own identity in perspective when you face these people every day, scrambling all over each other to define an identity for you.
Also, why is Lindsay always in hair salons? Does she just have her extensions touched up twice a day or something...
I swear there is never a Valentino event where Gwyneth's GOOP-y little face doesn't show up holding Valentino Garavani orange Muppet hand on the red carpet.
Gwyneth -- sans "husband" Chris Martin -- showed up to the premiere of the Valentino: The Last Emperor show at the MoMA in NYC. Seriously is there a point at which Valentino is going to look at these photos of his face and think to himself, "I look absolutely ridiculous"? Because this is what he always looks like on the red carpet. I ...
I'm sorry if this post doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm way too busy listening to the new Tori Amos track to pay attention to anything else, but apparently some chick staffer over on AI is running around telling every paper who'll listen that the Top 4 for AmIdol have already been chosen by producers:
The female “AI” worker told a “group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,” said our insider. Asked if this was opinion o...
Ohhhhhhh it's finally beginning!!!!
We've got the first track leak from the new Tori album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. The track is called "Welcome to England," and you can hear it here.
I'm am not a particularly unbiased opinion, but I looooove it. Tori can do NO WRONG in my book. I can't wait for the full album. I LOVE YOU, TORI!!!
Tori's playing SXSW on Thursday, and she's gonna do new material, so hopefully we'll hear even more songs from the new album then!!
Hat tip to po...
