Today's Evil Beet Gossip

The Amy Winehouse documentary looks amazing and sad

amy winehouse Amy Winehouse died nearly four years ago, and it's still pretty hard to believe. I was a massive fan and was rooting for her all the way to the end, but it seemed her demons were just too big for her to beat (and I still think it's all Blake's fault). She was an incredible talent, one that was gone far, far before her time, and she was a massive loss to the music world. No one spoke for our generation the way Amy did - so frank, so unfiltered, so emotive. I really miss her a lot. Director Asif Kapadia has now made a documentary, aptly titled Amy, which followe...

Keanu Reeves was nearly blacklisted from Hollywood for not doing ‘Speed 2’

keanu reeves Keanu Reeves' career in the early '90s was going incredibly well - almost too well, as far as he was concerned. While roles like Speed and Chain Reaction were making him a household name among action hero fans, that wasn't what he'd envisioned for himself as an actor and he was desperate to escape it. After turning down a role in Speed 2, Keanu learned the consequences of saying no in Hollywood and had to fight to ensure he continued to have a career at all. From The Telegraph: “When I was...

Kelly Clarkson’s bullies apologize for making fun of her weight

kelly clarkson It seems like lately, people can't think of anything better to talk about than Kelly Clarkson's weight. If it's not anonymous commenters or cowardly internet pundits, it's Fox News correspondent Chris Wallace and radio DJ Mike Gallagher. During an interview on The Mike Gallagher Show on Friday, the pair talked shit about Kelly being fat and remarked that she needs to "lay off the deep dish pizza" and a bunch of other rude ass bullshit. Because, you know, I'm sure Kelly has a ton of time with an infant daughter and being an ...

Kylie Jenner maybe does blackface (but not really)

kylie jenner Kylie Jenner may only be 17, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to every method of self-disguise there is. Via makeup, styling and (alleged!) cosmetic surgery, she's managed to completely transform herself from normal looking human being into... big sister Kim Kardashian, i.e. a plastic doll. However, her latest foray into the world of transformation landed her in a load of hot water, as many claimed she was doing Blackface in a new photo shoot she posted to Instagram over the weekend. People lost their shit after Kylie posted the images to social media. Here's an example: ...

Michael Keaton plays Batman, Beetlejuice on ‘SNL’

michael keaton SNL If you think Saturday Night Live is well past its sell-by date, you're not alone. It's just... not very good anymore, but I doubt it'll go off the air anytime soon, so we might as well get used to it. Every once in a while it has its highlights, anyway - like when Michael Keaton hosted this past weekend and (sorta) played Batman and Beetlejuice again during his opening monologue. Considering we should soon be getting a Beetlejuice 2 (well, it's in the works, anyway), this is pretty time...

‘Furious 7′ is killin’ it at the box office

furious 7 I'll admit it - I haven't actually seen any of the Fast & Furious movies. Well, I've kinda seen part of one of them (no idea which one), but it was on in the background and I was distracted with something else, so I couldn't tell you what happened other than Vin Diesel speeding down a dirt road trying to get someone who I think, if I remember right, was Jordana Brewster or Michelle Rodriguez off the back of a speeding train. Somehow, I feel like that one scene probably accurately sums up the entire ser...

Gwyneth Paltrow bought a sex store

gwyneth paltrow Gwyneth Paltrow is getting on the property ladder and has scooped up the legendary Hustler Hollywood store on the Sunset Strip. But don't get too excited - Goop isn't loosening up a bit to get closer to the "common woman". She's actually going to tear the whole thing down and redevelop it as a rich person's club. As you do. From TMZ: Our real estate sources say Gwynnie and business partner Gary Landesberg scored the property from porn lord Larry Flynt. Their plan is to build the Arts Clubs similar to the one in London and Aspen. The Club is Soho-esque, with a fancy restaurant (Zuma, on...

Beyonce releases ‘Die With You’ on Jay-Z’s TIDAL music service

beyonce Jay Z's TIDAL - basically a try-hard chic version of Spotify - was unveiled earlier this month with a ridiculous business model and an even more ridiculous membership fee (about 4x that of Spotify). It's clearly going to fail, but for now, Beyonce is trying to keep her man's venture afloat by releasing ~exclusive~ material ONLY through TIDAL. Get your credit cards ready if you want to hear the entirety of 'Die With You'. Bey released the first teaser of the track on Facebook, directing every...

Don’t worry, Kaley Cuoco isn’t getting divorced (yet)

kaley cuoco ryan sweeting Apparently rumours have been flying around that Kaley Cuoco and husband Ryan Sweeting are not so... sweet on each other and are getting a divorce. I hadn't heard these rumours, likely because I never hear anything about Kaley Cuoco, but there we are. Kaley herself had heard them, of course (Google alert of her own name set up, I imagine), and decided to confront the haters head on... on Instagram. We are totally getting divorced, can't you tell!!?! ???? 4 weeks apart and finally reunited - I misse...

Nick Cannon is writing a tell-all book about his marriage to Mariah Carey

mariah carey nick cannon Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey split up last year, and it hasn't necessarily been amicable. Nick's been trying to siphon money out of Mariah any way he can, Mariah wants no part of his fuckery and the whole thing is a mess. But since Nick isn't really banking it as the host of the ridiculous America's Got Talent and Mariah's not loosening her purse strings, he's had to come up with another way to bring home the bacon, and that apparently means writing a tell-all about their marriage. From The Daily Mail: Mariah Carey rejected N...

Sia and Maddie Ziegler team up again for ‘Big Girls Cry’ video

sia maddie ziegler big girls cry Sia has been working with Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler for a while now. Maddie, who's 12, has appeared in the music videos for 'Chandelier' and 'Elastic Heart' and has performed alongside the singer on most of her big TV performances, as well, like Ellen and even at the Grammys. It looks like their collaboration isn't going to slow down any time soon, either, since Maddie is also the star of the new 'Big Girls Cry' video. I have to say, I absolutely love Sia and what she's doing. I kno...

Dating Zac Efron turned Vanessa Hudgens into a major bitch

zac efron vanessa hudgens Do you remember a simpler time? A time before Vanessa Hudgens repeatedly had her nudes "leaked" to the internet? A time before Zac Efron became a major cokehead? Indeed, there was a time when the pair were doe-eyed Disney stars who were ~so in love~ and having the time of their lives. Except not really, because Zac's fans annoyed Vanessa and the whole experience turned her into a "really mean" person. From The New York Times: "I went through a phase when I was really mean because I was so fed ...
