I'm basically as gay as they come and am only interested in the ladies, but I can appreciate an attractive man (what my mother would refer to as a "fine lookin' honey") when I see one. Such is certainly the case with Daniel Day-Lewis' 20-year-old son Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis (what?), who made his public "debut" or whatever at the Burberry Menswear show this past week with David Beckham's son Brooklyn Beckham. Both boys are burgeoning models, duh, but hot damn, if Gabe (yes, we're on a nickname basis now)...
In all honesty, I don't know if I've ever been as perplexed or nonplussed by a celebrity couple as I am Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. On one hand, people starring in the same TV show/move often hook up, so there's nothing new there. Gwen and Blake are two attractive people, both of whom were recently divorced — why wouldn't they take advantage of the situation and rebound with someone hot who happens to be in a similar situation? On the other hand, uh, what? If there were ever two people I'd ...
I don't take any sort of life advice from the Kardashian/Jenner family, that's for sure. I don't emulate their looks, buy the shit they swear they love (even though the shit they're promoting they're being paid to mention once on their Instagram accounts), or basically take anything they say with any amount of seriousness. I seem to be alone in that, however, because a lot of people think this family knows what's up, because for some reason, Kourtney Kardashian thought the world needed a how-to gu...
As a collective planet, we've been having a pretty torrid love affair with Jennifer Lawrence for a while now. She's funny, she's pretty, she's really smart and talented, she's not afraid to look like an idiot... in other words, she's just a "real girl" and "just like us", and that's why everyone (or at least most people) love her. However, like most love affairs, it seems this relationship may be starting to sour just slightly, as she's received a shit ton of criticism for something that went down in the 2016 Golden Globes press room on Sunday night.
Here's the deal: JLaw won a Globe for Joy, which is a pretty solid movie based on a true story about the inventor of an awesome mop. That's the simple version, but it was pretty good — nothing mind-blowing, but it's Jennifer Lawrence, so obviously she was going to get the award. All was fine and well until she got to the press room after the ceremony, where winners answer lots of question from the reporters gathered there. Lawrence was asked a question by a reporter who was reading from his phone, and she called him out for not giving her eye contact and seeming to be distracted. Very JLaw, right? Except there's one issue: English wasn't this reporter's native language, so he was likely reading from his phone so that he could ask a coherent question.
Of course, the Internet had an absolute meltdown and started calling her incredibly rude and arrogant, but like, whatever. I'm all for calling out entitlement and rudeness, but how the hell was Jennifer Lawrence supposed to know that a reporter in a room full of 50+ of them was staring at his phone because he wasn't confident in the English language? Consider how many times in life YOU'VE watched someone stare at their phones rather than giving you their undivided attention, and then magnify that by how many times it's probably happened to a celebrity. If I was in her position, I'd have thought the reporter was being rude, too.
Surely, her faux pas was revealed to her and it's likely that she apologized behind-the-scenes (because no, it doesn't have to be made public to count), but I think everyone needs to chill the hell out a bit. Was it a little bratty? Eh, maybe, but it's hardly the worst thing a celebrity has done.

Everyone knows the Golden Globes suck ass (as do the Emmys, the MTV Movie/Music Video Awards, the Grammys, and basically every other awards show celebrities seem to be turning up to out of obligation rather than desire), but there were a few highlights during last night's ceremony. For one thing, Leonardo DiCaprio finally won a damn award, this time for his performance in The Revenant (which was really, really good, by the way). But perhaps even bigger news was the hubbub that arose when Lady Gaga won for her role on American Horror Story, passing Leo's chair and causing him to make a face that's been interpreted to high heavens despite it being literally no big deal.
If you live under some giant boulder and somehow missed this, have a look for yourself:
Many people tried to claim that Leo made that face because he and Gaga are "feuding", never mind the fact that they've likely never met and wouldn't run in the same circles in any way, shape, or form. Other people just thought it was hilarious, which... I mean, I guess? If your bar of what's funny is set pretty low, I guess looking surprised because someone bumped your chair will elicit a belly laugh or whatever.
Such was the chatter about this non-event that Leo felt the need to speak out about it, telling Entertainment Tonight, "Oh lord – that's trending, huh? I just didn't know what was passing me, that's all."
That's all, indeed. Can we please stop the bullshit now?

David Bowie is, without a doubt, one of those public figures of whom basically everyone on earth has a memory of. Whether you went through a misanthropic teenage phase where you listened to "Life On Mars" on repeat and felt like no one in the world understood you, started experimenting with crazy makeup because of Bowie's badass beauty prowess, or were simultaneously terrified and turned on by him as the Goblin King in Labyrinth (that was me), he was somewhere in all of our lives, and it's with an incredibly heavy heart that we learned this morning that David Bowie has passed away at the age of 69.
Bowie's son revealed on Monday morning that his father had "died peacefully surrounded by his family" after an 18-month cancer battle. What kind of cancer Bowie had was not revealed, and it really doesn't matter, but the fact that none of us knew he was sick and that he only just released an album, Blackstar, made this loss all the more jarring.
Without a doubt, Bowie will be missed. Hopefully he can rest in peace, and we'll keep his memory and all he did for the arts alive for a long time to come.

Sean Penn is nuts and should probably be locked up for a variety of reasons, but now it seems as though Mexican authorities think he actually may have done something illegal in interviewing infamous drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera. Rolling Stone published the interview just a few days ago — one day after El Chapo was recaptured by the authorities, in fact — and the whole thing is pretty crazy.
Basically, Penn went to Mexico and talked to El Chapo for 7 hours straight last October. The whole thing was, as Sean described, "a clandestine horror show for the single most technologically illiterate man left standing." You see, Sean is 55 and super rich, but he doesn't know how to use a computer and doesn't really "get" technology (because apparently it's still worthy of hipster cred to portray yourself as a Luddite).
Anyhoo, after about 2,000 words of pontification and navel gazing, we're finally onto the interview, and what's revealed within it has given authorities pause and they're now investigating Penn, who's basically wringing his hands of the whole thing and claiming that it's all cool because this interview was SO last year, so it kinda doesn't count as illegal?
Also, journalists around the world are panning Penn (and Rolling Stone in particular) for being so non-journalistic in letting El Chapo preview and change the piece before publication. Oh, and they wonder how this idea — of having Sean Penn interview a notorious drug lord... just for the sake of it? — even came about.

I love my dog more than I love most people, so I'm pretty sensitive to stories about animals. For once in my life, I actually feel bad for Kaley Cuoco, who's lost not one but two pets this week. I also feel like something's not quite right here. Losing a pet to old age or a sudden illness is absolutely terrible, but losing two in the same week is either fucked up in some way or just really, really bad luck.

Lady Gaga has always been a hot ass mess and never minded getting her kit off, as the English would say (I just got back from spending five months in the UK, bear with me here), in front of cameras. Taylor Kinney must be a freek-a-leek, as well, if he's engaged to her, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they decided to have sex and then take a selfie of their naked bodies in a mirror. I'm not surprised, actually — more like perplexed as to why they think anyone would want to see this shit.

Ah, Beet — how I've missed you! It's been so long, but I've got some great news... we're actually back! Turns out, there are quite a few people out there that weren't quite ready to say goodbye to the site, and so we've found a way to keep it alive and maybe do some new and exciting things (many of which will be revealed in the coming weeks and months).
For now, it's back to our regularly scheduled programming with celebrity gossip. You'll notice that the updates are fewer to start off with, but hop...
Sinead O'Connor has a long history of mental illness and has been very open about it. Like anyone who suffers with depression, bipolar disorder, etc., she's had high and low points over the years, and the low points are extremely low. One such point apparently came over the weekend, when Sinead posted what appeared to be a threat of suicide on Facebook, scaring fans and friends.
The issue seemed to have to do with her sons, who were being kept from her by their respective fathers. Why tha...
I think it's fair to say that most of us probably assumed that Mary-Kate Olsen's relationship with boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy, 17 years her senior, wasn't going to last. But indeed it has - for more than three years already, but likely a while longer since they actually got married over the weekend!
The wedding was a tres chic affair (see what I did there?) held at a private residence on 49th Street in New York. However, perhaps the most hilarious/ridiculous/probably actually true detail about the big day comes from the New York Post:
