Let’s Check in on the Ledger-Williams-Segel Family, Shall We?

photo of matilda ledger and jason segel pictures Aren't these guys just the cutest? And if we can talk about Matilda for a second, OMG. Is she not the perfect hybrid of the late Heath Ledger and her mom, Michelle Williams? She is just adorable, and she's going to be a knockout when she gets older, you mark my words. Also, yes, I know that they're not technically---or even theoretically, at this point---a family right now, but guys. It's on its way. Jason is hanging out with Matilda on the regular (alone, too; these photos were taken post-break...

Quotables: Elton John Wasted a Big Part of His Life

photo of elton john young pictures "I wasted such a big part of my life. I was a drug addict and self-absorbed. You know, I was having people die right, left, and center around me, friends. And yet I didn't stop the life that I had, which is the terrible thing about addiction. It's that - you know, it's that bad of a disease. ... I mean, I would have an epileptic seizure and turn blue, and people would find me on the floor and put me to bed, and then 40 minutes later I'd be snorting another line. This is how bleak it was, I'd stay...

Karma Finally Came and Picked Madonna Up for Song-Stealing

photo of madonna gross face pictures What's that, you haven't heard? Oh, OK. Well, here it is: Madonna's being sued for illegally including some music from a song that didn't belong to her to begin with in 1990's 'Vogue'. Amazing, right? I realize that it's, yeah, about twenty-some years after the fact, and almost kind of absurd at this point to even make it a point of contention, but it's definitely a good time as any for some Lady Gaga fans who are still pissed that Madonna's claiming that Lady Gaga's an unoriginal c-ntbag. Whee!...

Octostripper: The Photos

photo of octomom nadya suleman stripping pictures Remember that whole Nadya-Suleman-stripping bit that wasn't supposed to happen because she was being sued or whatever? Because it did. It happened an entire hour away from where Octomom was originally supposed to strip, at another apparently-upscale club. And the photos, friends, are really bad. They're as bad as bad can be*. And what in the world does that lady patron have in her hands? Is that a can of disinfectant? Because wow. What a great idea. The only real thing I can relate to ...

Miley Cyrus Turned Into Selena Gomez for a Minute

photo of miley cyrus pictures Because wow. If that photo weren't pulled right from Miley's Twitter, featuring Miley's very distinctive hair and dog, then I totally would have said, "Wow, Selena Gomez. You're looking a lot like Miley Cyrus these days, girl." In related Miley news, we might be looking at girlfriend on this new season of 'American Idol'. How about it? Along with Miley, others are tapped to be the next judges, including Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, and will.i.am. From E!: Sources confirm exclusively that along with Adam Lam...

Katie Looks Happy, Huh?

photo of katie holmes pictures How about it, huh? I think this is the most we've seen of dear Katie here in five whole years, and look at her now! Whipping out bright-colored dresses! Smile! Hanging out with her mom! This is a side of Katie that I don't think we've ever seen before! Girlfriend was spotted out in New York City (again) with her mother, shopping and catching dinners here and there and taking Suri out for playdates (with other kids. In other people's houses. Tom would be rolling over in his pod if he had to witness this kind...

UPDATED: Your Daily Gosling (Also, It Would Appear That Sylvester Stallone’s Son is Dead)

Update: Guys. Seriously, to those I offended (and in the general way I disregarded respect for Sylvester Stallone and his family in this horrible time), I'm way sorry. Going back and re-reading the post this morning, I agree---it was a really callous and cold-hearted way to write that Sage Stallone died, and there's no excuses I can come up with to make it all better. I apparently didn't think the post through (the "good" intention was there, though it definitely got lost in translation majorly this time), and, as one of the commenters noted, I probably should have just avoided writing about altogether rather than lumping it together in an inappropriate and unrelated post about Ryan Gosling. So, again, I apologize, and I genuinely mean it. Everybody makes mistakes, and I am most definitely not exempt. Some of them are just out there for the public to see. />Update: Guys.

Le Sigh: Scarlett Johansson STILL Too Sexy for Movies, Life

photo of scarlett johansson boyfriend pictures And I say "still too sexy" because duh, don't you remember the interview she did way, way back in May (May! Of 2012!) saying that she never wanted to be a sex symbol in Hollywood, and how she tries just so hard not to sexualize every single character she plays, but fails endlessly because her sultry sexuality just seeps through her flimsy sex filter. Because yeah. She's doing the same interview all over again with next month's Marie Claire, where she---surprise, surprise---talks all about how s...

Evil Beet Needs Your Help!

photo of modern galaxy pictures So, Evil Beet has decided to take another grand step into the new millennium, and in doing so, has decided to give the site a new, fresh look! I know---some of you are groaning and shaking your fists and promising to never come back to the site again if we even slightly change the color formatting of the comments, and guys. Guys. I hear you. I'm generally so resistant to change that I get stomachaches when I realize that---oh my God, horror of all horrors---I have to use the backup laundry...

WATCH THIS: The ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ Trailer is Here and James Franco’s Head Did Not Dominate, Thankfully

Alright, so, all James Franco aside, this movie looks like it's going to be phenomenal. But don't take it from me---take it from Sam Raimi, who's (Sam Raimi is a demigod in some circles, being that he was the mastermind behind 'Evil Dead', which, if you haven't seen it, GO NOW) directing the flick. From the movie's Comic Con panel: Sam Raimi on 'Oz': "This is a very straightforward family picture. I would say it's a very classically Disney type of movie. It's all about these characters and their interactions with each other, the friendships they make. How some characters are sinners, how they hurt others, how those sins can grow. It's about finally recognizing the things you do in this world have consequences, and how to be the best person you can be is really the story of this film. That's the most exciting kind of story for me, the ones that have character growth, and I think James Franco's character has a little bit of character growth in this film." Mila Kunis on working with Sam Raimi: "Listen, Sam is fantastic. I don't know where to begin. I would do craft service for Sam if he asked me to." Michelle Williams on Sam Raimi, also: "I had never made a movie like this before. I've never made such a big movie before. I didn't know what it was going to be like. I didn't know if the things that concern me, Sam would have time for, or patience for. Not only did he have time and patience in the beginning when we were rehearsing, he had patience for them on the 17th hour of the sixth day. For me it was a very holistic experience; it was a real melding of my work life and my personal life. My film family and my real family." Raimi, on James Franco: "He's a great collaborator. James was much less collaborative when I first worked with him. He was a real serious actor, I think he still had his James Dean hat on; he was doing it his way. I worked with him with certain limitations. We couldn't communicate about everything as deeply as we did on this picture. [In this movie] there was a great sense of openness, collaboration, and patience. Now that James is a filmmaker, he understands all the things that go into a shot. He's developed that patience." On the flying monkeys in 'The Wizard of Oz', and whether they will have a part in 'Oz': "The teaser they showed today, the Wicked Witch has an army of flying baboons. We're actually still developing them, but the teaser demanded that they come out right now. There is also a flying monkey in the story, different than the baboons, a nice flying monkey, so don't worry." On whether the book Wicked was thrown around in the idea of developing this movie: "No. We were just using Baum's books as a road map. We stayed with the thesis: who is that guy behind the curtain?" So. Are we all in agreement that this movie's going to be pretty darn fabulous? Because duh, it is. /> Alright, so, all James Franco aside, this movie looks like it's going to be phenomenal.
