Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Gawker Reports Story, Gets Sued

I want to take this opportunity to clear up something.  Some of you thought I was mean-spirited in criticizing a pregnant Rebecca Gayheart for smoking.  Hey, if looking out for a helpless individual who can’t speak for themselves makes me mean, too bad.  When I was pregnant, I craved a bottle of red wine like Michael Lohan craves getting a mention on Page Six.  Sometimes you just have to put an unborn child first.  And, you know, she killed someone.  So she has a responsibility to do better and you can bet your bippy that I’m not going to feel bad about holding that viewpoint.  Now, INF and Huffington Post have reported that RG is preggo.  If, in fact, she’s just retaining water, I apologize to her pooch.  More importantly, can we now talk about how Eric Dane and Smokestack Gayheart are suing Gawker?

The couple filed suit against Gawker in L.A. County Superior Court today in response to the website’s decision to publish a four-minute clip of their ridiculous non-sex tape.  Through their lawyer, they are seeking more than $1M in damages as well as an injunction against the video.

Gawker’s publisher Nick Denton responded on Twitter:  “To quote the great Marty Singer — Eric Dane’s lawyer — if you don’t want a sex tape on the internet, “don’t make one!”

  • I craved brie cheese & wine for the entire time I was pregnant, basically from conception, so yeah – lay off the cigs!!

  • Studies show that it can actually be more harmful to the fetus to quit smoking during pregnancy, as long as the mother isn’t smoking like a chimney.

    • Thanks for this!! I’ve heard SOOOO many women say this before & have always suspected it was BS!

      I smoked up until I got pregnant w/ my 1st child. I would have quit before I got pregnant but she wasn’t planned. When I thought i was pregnant I went & bought a test. I peed on the stick, it came up positive QUICKLY! I smoked 1 more OMG ciggy & that was it!
      I know everyone will give me shit & say its not that easy but it REALLY is if you know the reason you are quiting for. I wanted to smoke, ALOT. I wasn’t one of the preggos that hated smoke, I craved it!
      I. JUST, DIDN’T. DO. IT!
      K, rant over :/

  • “. . .I apologize to her pooch”

    Hahahaha! Funniest thing I’ve read all day. Is this a common saying I’ve just managed to go my whole life without encountering, or is this an original, Wendie? Either way, I’m going to use it. Frequently. I’ve got so many damn pooches to apologize to, you just don’t know . . ..

  • Stuff like this just makes me scared to be working for a gossip site. Does Evil Beat have a plan in case they get sued? – not trying to say they will, but you never know.

  • I hate you Wendy. Don’t try to redeem yourself by trying to change the story. Did you even know that the picture of her smoking was old? What sort of writer are you? In fact, what sort of person are you?

    One day you’re going to be backing out of your driveway and a kid runs behind your car and you injure or kill him. Then you’re going to feel horrible when someone taunts and teases you every day about your one mistake.

    • Or…she’ll look in her fucking rear view mirror before she pulls out instead of not paying any attention because she’s impatient and on the phone.

      It’s not like the kid dove in front of her car. She pulled around parked cars that were waiting for the kid to cross because she was pissed about having to wait and she wasn’t paying attention to what was going on because she was on the phone.

  • I know a person who accidentally ran over someone and killed them. They were driving next to a van in plain daylight (no alcohol or anything involved) and a person jumped on the street to cross. The van barely stopped but, having the line of sight blocked by the van, this person kept going and realized there was a person there too late.

    The case went to court (the deceased person’s family sued) and the person was cleared of wrong doing because it was found to be an accident and there was no way he would have been able to stop. It was really just a tragic, unfortunate accident.

    This person lives with this every single day. He was healthy and now he smokes like a chimney and has had alcohol problems. Living with that whole situation is not easy. I feel for him but at the same time I recognize I wouldn’t like to be in his shoes. Having to live with the knowledge that you accidentally killed someone.

    Having said that, I don’t think it’s wise to act as if you hold the key to what a person’s contrition should be after such and unfortunate act. I understand that you are upset but I would reserve judgment on such a serious matter unless you were there or have intimate, personal knowledge of the case. After all, we’re not talking about Rebecca having a nip slip or flashing her crotch or something banal like that.

  • The thing people were upset about is that it was an OLD picture of her smoking and it made her look like she was smoking while pregnant. Since you read the comments you are obviously aware if this. People even provided links to other websites which talked about how the story was made up. So, coming out again with this “fact” that you know to be untrue is really irresponsible and just plain mean. You must really have it out for this girl.

  • I’m wondering how many of the Wendie haters have kids? If you’ve every grown a baby inside of you, the notion of smoking while doing so is sick and selfish and not forgivable. If the photo is old then OOPS.

    To the person that keeps saying quitting smoking while pregnant is worse for the baby because of stress than simply cutting back… BULLSHIT. Prove it. You CAN’T because it’s not true.

    To the above poster who has a friend that truly, accidentally killed someone. I’m sorry for your friend. But RG was passing all the other cars that DID stop for the poor kid because she was impatient AND was on her cell phone when she smashed into him and knocked the life out of him. Yes, accidents are accidents, but she IS partially to blame, this is not as innocent as your friend’s story. She should have served some actual JAIL TIME for knocking the life out of that kid while driving impatiently and on a cell phone.

    I don’t think Wendie is the devil. I think her passion for this issue may have skewed her sensibility a bit toward the rough side, but the fact remains RG owes Jorge Cruz’s family several years of her life behind bars for what she did.

  • yep, she’s guilty and yes, she deserves all the shit that every gossip blogger can give her. gayheart should have done time.

    get off the fucking phone and don’t go around a car that’s already stopped, because it’s probably stopped for a reason.

  • uh, one glass of red (haven’t heard about white but i think red has more nutrients in it) glass can be drank during pregnancy without guilt, occasionally ofcourse. and you americans should even drink it at least once a month, considering the food you are eating. :)

  • I really dont like it when the post is about something, and people use the comments to insult Wendie instead.. It’s getting old..

    I agree with the lawyer or whoever said, if you dont want a sex tape on the internet, dont make one. Perfect statement.

  • Funny how it is an ‘unborn child’ and ‘a helpless individual who can’t speak for themselves’ in this circumstance…….but what would happen if Rebecca decided she did not want the little pooch and all the inconvenience that it may cause in her life. Then it is a ‘sack of cells’ and it is her ChOice to pretty much kill it……by dismemberment, liquid acid, etc. Sometimes you DO just have to put unborn children first!!!
