Looks like there’s not too much for the New York Police Department to take care of these days because the day after singer Rihanna gave a tattoo illegally at a parlor run by a friend of hers back in July, they slapped the owner of the shop with a hefty fine for allowing an amateur to operate a needle. This information was released today, and while the ticket’s fee has not been released, records show that it could be anywhere between $200 and $2000 dollars.
While I’m apt to complain about concessions being made for celebrities, let’s get real: Rihanna is majorly in to tattoos and is often in the company of artists and has seen a ton of people, including herself, get inked. While it is a crime to allow an unlicensed artist go free with the needle, there’s also far greater crime and safety violations going on in New York City at any given moment. Have we found out who sold the crack to DJ AM yet? I didn’t think so…
Shia LeBeouf has been seen around town with a new lady friend who has a not-so-familiar face and many want to know: Who’s the lady who’s boning the kid from Even Stevens?
Turns out this little lady’s name is Cary Mulligan, she’s a 24 year old British lass who’s Shia’s co-star in the upcoming film Money Never Sleeps. You may recognize her from Pride & Prejudice and claims that she used Keira Knightly as her acting coach while filming, telling the New York Times “I was a real tomboy until was 15 – I didn’t have my first kiss until a month away from being 16. So I just copied everything Keira did for weeks. She is still amazing to me.”
Copying Knightly turned out to be a smart move for Mulligan, as she landed a role in a film that put her right next to LeBeouf who she’s been quite friendly with while filming in NYC. A witness who saw the two in Greenwich Village spilled, “They were talking, laughing and smiling and seemed very close.”
While filming a sketch for Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kathy Griffin hit up the uber hip and swank pool at the Roosevelt Hotel dressed up as one of our regular targets here at EvilBeet, Ms Kate Gosselin. Hilarious. I actually nearly spit Diet Coke all over my screen when I saw her get up, complete with c-section scar. Apparently the clueless hipsters, rich kids and elderly people that frequent the pool were just as taken aback as well, except they actually thought Griffin WAS Gosselin. “Kate who? Just call me Kathy Gosselin. All I need now is a sexy bodyguard,” People Magazine quoted the funny lady as saying.
In his song “Flashing Lights” Kanye says “Try to hit you with the ‘Oeur de Whopee’/Till I get flashed by the paparazzi/Damn, these n****’s got me/I hate these n****’s more than the Nazis”… And he ain’t kidding, kids. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Kanye and his bald Barbie girlfriend freakin’ out on the paps for snapping his photo, and this time, he’s even confronting the dude shooting video from the safety of his car. Here’s my thing with Kanye: How can a man who boasts about chasing fame to the degree he does care about a having his picture taken while he’s going about his buisness? The two of them are dressed well enough, they aren’t fighting, there’s no drama going on, so just shut up and smile, man. Beside putting out jams for me to dance to in the club, that’s really his only job as a performer. Why does Kanye have such beef with the paps? You’d think he’d love it.
I woke up a little bit ago to see that Life & Style has “photographic evidence” that Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are back together. Eh, if this was a picture of the two of them dry humping and feeling each other up in a booth, I might be more inclined to jump on board. On the other hand, supposedly the two were “canoodling” and “left together”, as well.
All of that sounds like friendly ex behavior to me, but at the same time, I can’t really imagine that either one of them has been up to much since their split, so getting back together does seem to make a little sense. To be perfectly honest, these two always seemed to work together as a couple for me. Neither is particularly successful, both are boring as hell and they each have that “Go, America!” vibe about them. I feel like if they were to get hitched, they’d make good-looking babies and fade in to obscurity really quickly…
Hey, now that I think about it, the these cats getting back together wouldn’t be half bad…
Per usual, Julia Robert’s hook nose is out of joint about something that the rest of the world probably finds (if not mildly amusing) totally innocent. Julia “I’ll Take Your Husband Off Your Hands” Roberts has taken task with Julia Stiles — her costar in Mona Lisa Smile — for participating in a spoof video that makes fun of eco-conscious celebs.
Julia Roberts – a famously eco-conscious mother of three who uses flushable diapers, drove a Toyota Prius and even helped invent a “green” household cleaner – isn’t laughing at her former Mona Lisa Smile’s co-star’s joke.
“While Julia thinks Julia Stiles’ heart is in the right place, she shouldn’t make fun of others who are trying to help the environment,” said the source.
“Julia thinks her former co-star would be better off directing her humor at people who are trying to destroy the planet… not those helping it!”
Normally, I don’t put much stock in National Enquirer print articles, but this is Julia Roberts we’re talking about. This is Julia Roberts we’re talking about — I believe every. single. word.
Hey, Julia — instead of destroying people’s marriages, why don’t you try to find single men to impose your sanctimony upon?
She. Is. Marvelous. Seriously marvelous. And super gorgeous. I am not generally a fan of short hair, on guys or girls (late ’90s men’s fashion was a nightmare for me, and I was only in middle school), but she looks so...
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
