Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Things You Guys Should Know

1) We are still having intermittent server issues due to increasing traffic levels. I love you guys for this. Unfortunately, it means we’re still having a lot of down time. I PROMISE you guys I am on top of this — I have not abandoned you (but thank you for the concerned emails) — and we’re getting it resolved as fast as the little server mice can run.

2) I’m now writing for recapist.com, so go over there and check out my recap of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style.

3) Mediabistro ran an interview with me today, so I guess it’s time to play Meet Your Editor.

xoxo

  • You get to write off People, In Touch, The Enquirer? You are so my hero. You really should start a program for underprivileged gossip junkies. The unwashed masses needs those old mags. Screw Angelina and her “world peace efforts” The Beet has People!

    Glad you’re back up!

  • I couldn’t quite figure out what was wrong with Tim Gunn’s Guide To Style until I read the recap on recapist.com. I emailed it to a couple of friends and we couldn’t stop laughing. I love him on Project Runway (there’s a marathon on Bravo today), but he and Veronica Webb cannot “Make it work”. Sasha Pasulka takes no prisoners.

  • I wrote a really witty response last night but it got lost somewhere in this hotel’s internet access and I couldn’t be fucked to repeat it so I just went to bed.

    Anyhoo, my question, now that I remember, was what about your subscriptions to Hustler and Juggs? Do you get to write off those as well?

    And lastly, what are you doing to allay our fears that these “server issues” are not just you blowing smoke up our cans so you can go moonlight at a “real” job? Eh?

  • i tried to leave a comment last night, but alas this website would not let me…

    i wanted to say that the article was cool as hell – so excited to “meet” our fabled beet in a different way. not to mention the fact that you’re quite the hottie!

    but beet, i’m still concerned. continued ugly status pages telling me you’ve exceeded your cpu limit make me wonder if perhaps you should consider a donation page…
    i know i would happily pay for the privilege of continued fluffy reading.

  • Hi all! Thanks so much for your kind messages.

    I swear to you all I am working on the server issues. I’ve switched hosting services to one that will provide a dedicated server. It’s just taking a little time for them to get my account set up and move everything over. I was hoping it would be done by now, but I guess not. Now I’m hoping it will be done by later this week. And since RealNetworks/Film.com has so graciously offered to be my patron, we’re okay on the financial side. (All together now: “Thank you, Real Networks!”)

    And my subscription to Hustler is a tax write-off due to the tell-all I’m writing about my brief but torrid affair with a wheelchair-bound Larry Flynt. I’m fucking unstoppable.

  • Nobody has sex with Larry Flynt anymore, do they? Except for his deceased wife Althea, and she’s about knackered. I love Hustler for the articles.
