Mischa Barton = Modern-Day Jesus August 11, 2009WendieMischa Barton Like how Jesus walked on water, Mischa walks on air on the set of her new show, The Beautiful Life. I feel like I have to mention Mischa's upcoming show every day so that no one forgets to watch. It premiers on September 16th. Maybe I can talk Beet into letting me do a live blog of the show. I figure it will probably be cancelled after the first episode, so shouldn't we enjoy the magic while it lasts? I have many, many pictures in the gallery -- there can never be enough -- including ...
Should I Just Enroll Jeremy Piven in the “Sushi of the Month Club” Now? August 11, 2009WendieChris Kattan, Jeremy Piven First and foremost, I missed all you crazy kids while I was away. I appreciate you for choosing to surf on to Evil Beet Gossip, even if it is just to let me know how much you hate me, my perspective, and my overuse of commas and ellipses. Today just seemed like a day that I should let you know that. So, thank you. Would you like to know who I didn't miss? Jeremy Piven. As a matter of fact, any time he drops off the radar, I do not miss him. Ever. Here's the latest in the "Jerem...
Jon Gosselin: She Started It! August 5, 2009WendieJon Gosselin, Kate Gosselin Jon Gosselin talked to In Touch magazine to set the record straight on how his marriage ended. I thought they were taking a 45-day break from talking about each other to the media? Oh, he's such a man of his word. I tried to parse the most important parts of the interview from this week's edition, but it's all truly so good. He wanted to work on his relationship with Kate (the original Kate) and she wanted no part of it. That's when he decided to start dating multiple women. You k...
The Most Foretelling Quotables Ever August 5, 2009WendieJessica Simpson “I don’t regret anything I’ve gone through…. I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope that my life, as it is now, doesn’t change. I’m very happy and comfortable—it’s a great place to be in. If this article comes out and we’re not together, I’d still love [Tony], and he’d still be a huge part of who I am today.” Jessica in a pre-split interview with Glamour mag for their September issue....
It’s a Day of Sentencing and Larry King Live, Of Course August 5, 2009WendieChris Brown It's a big day for Chris Brown. He'll be officially sentenced today -- it's expected that he'll be sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community labor in Virginia -- in the case stemming from the incident last February involving Rihanna. Later tonight he'll appear on Larry King Live delivering a hopefully less scripted apology that will be actually directed at Rihanna. As far as the court case is concerned, Rihanna's lawyer has confirmed that if asked, he will request that the st...
Katharine McPhee Goes Blond, Still Boring August 5, 2009WendieUncategorized American Idol castoff Katharine McPhee is releasing a new album. Aren't you so excited? As she tells People, she decided to change her look to match the vibe of her newest effort: “My music is a little more edgy so that inspired me to be adventurous,” she explains of taking the leap to blonde with stylist Peter Savic. “I’ve never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change. I’ve always been known as a brunette but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and it kind o...
Penelope Cruz Expecting? August 5, 2009WendiePenelope Cruz There have been rumblings that Penelope Cruz is pregnant via the attractive sperm of Javier Bardem ever since her Berlin appearance at the premiere of her newest movie, The Broken Embraces. Also adding to suspicion was a recent interview in which Penelope talked about motherhood. In August's issue of UK's Psychologies, Cruz was quoted as saying: “When I [have babies], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I beli...
Heath Ledger’s Final Piece of Work August 5, 2009WendieHeath Ledger A new video was released this week for a song called "King Rat" by indie rock band Modest Mouse. It probably wouldn't get as much attention under normal circumstances, but it was directed by the late Heath Ledger and is believe to be his last piece of work. The video is done in animation and shows whales fishing for humans. Kind of deep, I guess. I don't know -- it's too early for me to absorb all this social message....
Media Exec Says Paula Abdul is Lying August 5, 2009WendiePaula Abdul I heard the news last night about Paula not returning to Idol. I can't figure out if I'm just in denial, but I just don't fully believe that Paula isn't returning. It would be like removing the one remaining piece of entertainment from that show, and that doesn't make sense. Bonnie Fuller -- she's the exec who has worked at such publications as Us Weekly, Star, YM, Cosmo, and Marie Claire -- Tweeted last night about Paula's non-return to American Idol. According to Fuller, and she helme...
Joan Rivers Doesn’t Think Chelsea Handler is Funny August 4, 2009WendieJoan Rivers I know we have a big Chelsea following here on Evil Beet, but Joan Rivers admitted in an interview with The Associated Press that she doesn't think Chelsea Handler is funny. Of course, Joan also claimed that she hasn't had much plastic surgery and that some people get too much. Not her, but "some people": AP: One of your recent books "Men Are Stupid and Like Big Boobs" is a guide to plastic surgery. Why write that? Rivers: I did a lot of research for it. I haven't had as much as...
Michael Douglas’ Son In A Heap O’ Trouble August 4, 2009WendieMichael Douglas Cameron Douglas is one of those celebuspawns that I've been stalking watching for years. Even when he was twelve and attended movie premieres with his parents, he looked stoned. Always. Stoned. A few months ago, I read an article in Daily Mail about how Cameron was clean after years of drug arrests and rehab, coming to terms with his often-absent father, and building a movie career. It appears that his plans derailed. Cameron was arrested at the Gansevoort Hotel in New York City -- he's been living...
Quotables August 4, 2009WendieJennifer Aniston "If I'm the emblem for 'this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,' so be it." This most hypocritical quotable was brought to you by Elle. And while I laugh hysterically, to the point of not being able to catch my breath, I'm going to huff some Primatene....
