Plenty of you who read this blog are probably young enough that you don’t even remember who Pedro Zamora is — he was part of the cast of The Real World: San Francisco, an HIV-positive gay man who was arguably the first to put a face with the disease on a national scale. That was nearly 15 years ago, and Pedro died of AIDS in 1994, at the age of 22.

Now, MTV and Logo are airing a film about his life, written by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black (the guy who wrote Milk), and they’ve cast actors to recreate the iconic Real World lives of Puck, Rachel, Judd and Pam. Ya know, from back in the time when the show meant something other than how many 19-year-olds could get naked in a hot tub.

The biopic debuts April 1. Trailer is above.

Remember a few months ago when Beet called a moratorium on all Spencer Pratt/Heidi Montag items?  It has been a happier place around here since then, hasn’t it?  Well now these two fuckwits, Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox, may be the next on her list.

After numerous break up announcements, they’re back on.  Back on and actually never split up to begin with-just hit a “rough patch,” that they are working through in counseling.  Oh, these tortured souls.  Beauty, millions, and youth.  There’s not a therapist in the land that can help that couple work through landmines such as those.

Personally, I wish these two would just get on with the business of having a real break up so that Megan can start fucking David Spade.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Jamie Spears gave three of Britney “My Pussy Is Hanging Out” Spears’ tour dancers the boot because they were caught using drugs.

“They begged to be given a second chance but were shown the door,” said a source. “But the show must go on and such behaviour won’t be tolerated. The remaining dancers have been read the riot act. They have been told that if they know of drugs being used they must come clean or face the boot themselves.”

Other sources report that the rules for the tour dancers are “beyond strict.”

Dayum!

Mr. Spears is SERIOUS about keeping his daughter clean.

Good for him!

“Oh, my God, I have no desire. I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids — because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish”

Kelly Clarkson in a USA Today interview speaking about how she doesn’t want kids.

I love Kelly Clarkson.  I’ve already come out of the Clarkson closet, but it cannot be overstated-I think she’s great.

It seems that motherhood is just expected of women and I really respect a woman who is brave enough to be child-free by choice.  Speaking of which, I’d like to be CFBC for, like, a day or two.  Does anyone know of a good kid kennel?

In the interview, she talks about life lived on a ranch and how she hasn’t changed, her attitude about being true to her music, and how she had to change managers to find someone who supports her vision of holding fame at an arms length.  You can read the whole thing here.  I find her so impressive and self-aware.  It makes me not even want to say anything about her dress.  That’s power, folks.

The Bachelor winner loser Melissa Rycroft, who was dumped on television, ended up being a last minute fill-in on Dancing With The Stars.  Last night was her moment, and she did great!  I didn’t even watch The Bachelor but still felt for this girl when I heard about the fiancee switcheroo.  Honestly, I’m just relieved Rycroft didn’t fall.  This woman has had enough prime time humiliation to last a lifetime.

More than not being humiliated she, along with partner Tony Dovolani, received one of the highest scores of the night-a twenty-three out of thirty.  Oh, and Denise Richards’ scores from the judges?  Appropriately, 6-6 and 6.

When I originally read the financial details of Anne Heche’s divorce, I thought, “Wow, it is so expensive to be hetero.  She totally should have stuck with Ellen.”  Then I remembered the gay tax and realized that the most economically sane thing I could do is, like, have a fatal heart attack.

In a divorce that lasted more than half the length of the marriage, Anne Heche has been ordered to pay $515,000 in cash, $3,700 a month in child support and fifty percent of community property to her ex, Coley Laffoon.

The good news is that she gets 50-50 custody of her son and gets to keep her Vancouver home.  She won’t be able to afford furnishings, but she can hold onto her manse.
