“The whole airbrushing thing has gone crazy. I was like, ‘Who is that on the cover of the magazine?’ They were obviously not happy with what I look like. I’m not being mean about myself, but I just found it funny. I think it’s just one of those things that people have got so used to doing that they don’t even think twice about it.”

(My apologies for this woof-tastic photo, but I simply couldn’t resist)

Charlotte Ronson premiered her Spring 2010 looks at Bryant Park for New York fashion week and the front row was packed with her famous friends, including a Hilton sis and Ronson’s brother Mark. However, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was a fashion show or a casting call for a new reality show called “America’s Dirtiest Hipster”. I know it’s passe to “give a shit” but for the love of Christ, could somebody hose these people down?

“After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009 incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed. The case is now closed.”

TMZ just reported that the district attorney’s office of San Diego will not be pressing charges against Shawne Merriman despite Tila Tequila’s allegations of assault.  Just as I predicted a couple of hours ago.

I find it difficult to believe that there wasn’t sufficient evidence considering Tila’s remarkably bruised arms.  I think the public should protest this obvious miscarriage of justice.

No word from Tila’s camp just yet, but she spent her day on Twitter discussing what she’s looking for in a man and asking for dates (I’m serious — A Shot at Love 3).  Though if you want to see it, you better run quick and read because she has a penchant for deleting Tweets that don’t jive with her criminal allegations (she’s looking to get laid five days out from a violent attack, folks) and I don’t have the energy to pay any more attention to this liar.  I’ve reserved just enough mojo to pray that charges are filed against Tila if it’s discovered that she made a false accusation.  

As an aside, thanks to the EB reader that gave me a heads-up on the pic TT just posted on her Twitter.  You can see it here  and determine if you think her arms look bruised.  It was taken an hour ago according to Tila.  In other words, it was probably taken last year.

Listen up.  To all, like, one of you that plead with us here at Evil Beet to respect Lindsay’s privacy, I’d like to tell you something that should be painfully obvious:  Lindsay wants the tabloid attention; it was her goal.

Linds gave an interview to Access Hollywood in which she talked about her new gig over at Ungaro.  She also touched upon the media attention she seems to call and notify of her impending arrival garner everywhere she goes.  ”Everyone goes through tough times and the second that I decided I wanted to be in front of the camera … I think I’ve always kind of aspired to be like Britney Spears in the tabloids when I was in middle school.  It’s kind of something you sign up for in the beginning and if you really want it, you know that comes with it.  There are times when it does affect me. When I’m having a bad day or dealing with something personal that is no one else’s business but they’re going to spin it anyway. If I make the wrong face and I’m having a really great day, they’re going to say something negative anyway.  I know that I’m a target and I know that I’ve given people a lot of reason to kind of run with things that have been said. I no longer intend on doing that, but I’m not perfect.”  Yeah, she no longer intends on doing that since … uh … yesterday.

Do you ever Google someone who was in the headlines and then disappeared from the headlines to see what they are up to now?  Yesterday — just yesterday, people — I spent a significant amount of time Googling Jennifer Hudson’s sister Julia.  You’ll remember that Jennifer’s mother, brother and nephew (Julia’s son) were murdered last year by Julia’s ex-husband.  I wasn’t able to find out too much information except that some people were criticizing the singer’s sister  (they felt it was too soon after the tragedy) for participating in a plus-size fashion show this past spring.  

Today, Star is reporting that Julia Hudson is expecting in five months.  There was no word on who the father is, but Jennifer had a son last month; hopefully their kids will be close.  A new life can never be a replacement for a lost child, but I do hope this goes a long way towards helping to heal that wound.

Good luck to Julia!

Someone’s publicist screwed up!  This story was supposed to hit the Internet about two days ago — before their show premiered — but back on August 22nd, four of the actresses who star in the CW’s new show Vampire Diaries were arrested for disorderly conduct.  Oh, well.  They didn’t really need the hype — the premiere of VD (tee hee) was the highest rated ever for the CW network.  I guess 4.8 million of you are really into vampires.   Anyway, back to the hoodlums:

Nina Dobrev, 20, Sara Canning, 22, Candice Accola, 22, and Kayla Ewell, 24, were all rung up on disorderly conduct charges back on Aug. 22, according to the incident report from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department obtained by E! News.

Also busted were photographer Tyler Shields and actress Krystal Vayda, who isn’t a castmember. Both face similar charges.

Authorities found the giggly group standing on the Rumble Road Bridge overlooking Interstate 75 around 3:42 p.m.—a little early for vampires, but not for the actresses.

After examining the camera, officers found images of the Vampire crew confusing the freeway for the runway and striking a series of poses, including hanging over the bridge, straddling a railing and simulating being tossed over.

The fuckwits just had to pay a fine and they were released.  For the record, if I were a judge I would court order them to watch Saturday Night Fever on continuous reel … specifically the scene with Bobby on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
