Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Mick Jagger to have heart surgery this week

Earlier this week, Mick Jagger broke the news to fans that he was cancelling the Rolling Stones tour. He didn't get into why, but reports were that "there's something wrong with Mick". Today we have verification that the rock icon needs a stent in his heart. According to Drudge Report, who first reported Jagger would undergo surgery, the procedure will take place in New York City this week and the 75-year-old Stones frontman is expected to make a full recovery. Sources told the site Jagger is ...

Jim Carrey vs Mussolini? Delicious twitter battle just the beginning?

So full disclosure, right out the gate, I was 100% unaware that Benito Mussolini, fascist party leader and, according to most, uber-evil human being, had a granddaughter still walking around with that insane last name.  I might as well have learned Becky Hitler was in a twitter war with Meek Mill.  But Alessandra Mussolini is very much a thing and at 56 she is a politician, like her grandfather, in Italy. Second thing you need to know, ICYMI, is that, although he still acts, Jim Carrey is almost a full time political cartoonist and professional bear poker and he's where our story begins. Saturday afternoon, Carrey posted his latest commentary cartoon regarding (and depicting) Mussolini and his mistress being hanged by partisans. Which caused Musso's granddaughter to reply with a "You Are A Bastard".   From there Carrey is never heard from again, but Alessandra took on the onslaught of replies from those either marveling at the strange bedfellows, as I did, or genuinely angry that she would seemingly defend such a monster.

SNL Drags Jussie Smollett in pretty awesome skit

I'm only peripherally even aware of who's on Saturday Night Live anymore, let alone catch an episode. But when I saw they hit out on the Jussie Smollett case I just had to indulge. Worth it. Playing off the ridiculousness of the stories claims, the skit opens on producers of Empire arguing with Jussie's agent (played by host, Sandra Oh) about whether he can return, meanwhile Smollett himself seems to be late.  When he arrives ....  (The video is below, if you just want to know what happened, ...

Snoop Dogg says he slipped Matthew McConaughey pot on movie set

Snoop Dogg and Matthew McConaughey are in a movie (huuuh?) coming out soon called The Beach Bum and it sounds like things got a little loose on the set. McConaughey and Snoop Dogg were on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the flick when they revealed that Snoop gave an unsuspecting Matthew real marijuana during one of their scenes together. 'You rapped for 13 hours straight,' laughed the 47-year-old rapper during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. 'But I go to Snoop and I go to the prop man and make...

Nicolas Cage files for divorce after FOUR days of marriage

So on Saturday Dailymail.com caught Nicolas Cage applying for a marriage license in Las Vegas with his make up stylist girlfriend, Erika Koike. They said he seemed agitated (I just assumed everyone in Vegas was agitated) at the time.  Video shows Cage making a scene, telling onlookers she was going to take all of his money. One witness says he appeared very drunk. At one point he raised his voice and started shouting about how Koike's 'boyfriend' is a drug dealer and that 'he isn't do...

The KUWTK Season 16 Trailer is gold

Every year after the last episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians ends I sigh and tell myself I'm done with them. I can't watch another minute of that family and their shenanigans, it ends now.  And then several months later I see the trailer and suddenly time slows down and that premiere date seems too far away. Anyway, oh muh gawd.  Khloe saying "Tristan may love me, whatever that means, but he doesn't respect me at all." Well said.  I wish more people could just accept that about their...

FBI probing why Jussie charges were dropped

The world is talking about Jussie, just as he reportedly hoped.  So how did he get out of that seemingly done deal?? How was he freed after making a mockery of so many people?  No one knows. And many thought no one was going to look into it.   (Well, I sort of hope New York Times has a scrappy journalist up to the task) So it turns out you can currently hang your investigative hat on the FBI! The FBI launched a probe Wednesday to get to the bottom of Chicago prosecutors’ secret de...
