Frasier was one of the best sitcoms of all time — and if you don’t agree with me? Well, then. I’m just going to have to disagree with you. How ’bout them apples?

The beloved show isn’t the only thing actor Kelsey Grammer’s lost over the past decade; his wife of almost thirteen years (uh, not Lilith) Camille Donatacci, has filed for divorce. What the hell could Grammer have done to warrant such fuckery? Kept shop with too many bottles of Beaujolais? Spent a small fortune on high-priced Havanas? Listened to Mozart at an ungodly hour?

Well. Sorry to hear it, guys. Hope you can both move on from this alright, and both in your own ways.

I remain a fan of The Washington Boys, but I have to say that this “California Gays” fan video that was put together by some dudes in LA is pretty impressive. I mean, considering that they probably were not paid to do this and had no plans in mind other than the possibility of maybe going viral. What makes this fan video special is the fact that they obviously put a lot of time and effort into it. Also, they made sure to include a little East Coast/West Coast dance break in there. I’ll give them points for keeping it bi-coastal.

So, like, talk about a slap in the face to those of you who are all like “Beet doesn’t care about this blog anymore!”

I made Twitter and Facebook pages for Evil Beet! Fully three years after I should have!

BOO-YAH! See. This is why important people let me write weekly columns about building a tech startup. I AM SO ON TOP OF THIS SHIT.

Kidding aside, guys, I’m around and I’ve been around. We’re working on a lot of cool shit to make this site and Zelda Lily an even better experience for the readers, and I’m super excited for it to launch after the 4th of July holiday.

We’re also creating a system to listen specifically to all your feedback and suggestions about the site in general, so that you don’t have to leave it in the comments or send tirades to my personal inbox (NOT THAT I DON’T LOVE THOSE YOU GUYS THANKS FOR THINKING OF ME).

I haven’t been around in an editorial capacity much, I know. Please note that this does not mean I’m not involved with the site — there are lots of other things that need to get done daily. At this point, Evil Beet is a full-blown business, not my personal plaything (you can read that here, or follow my personal Twitter here), and I’m super grateful for this business and its success, but now I spend a lot of my day running an actual business instead of mouthing off at Paris Hilton. I resent that a lot of the time, and I’m going to make an effort to do more writing around here, because, in a sick, sick way, I miss you guys. :)

Stay tuned. Big things are happening around here. It’s gonna be fun.

Taylor Swift Loves Milk

Taylor Swift’s milk mustache ad came out today and boy oh boy, is it just as boring as the rest of them! When these ads first came out, they were weird in a good way and seemed kind of innovative, but now it’s just like, a standard. Everyone in Hollywood does the cover of Entertainment Weekly, then they get a milk mustache ad, then they get a star on the Walk of Fame. If they’re unlucky, there’s a sex tape and comeback tour sandwiched somewhere in between the milk ad and the star. Yawn-status.

Mel Gibson's Racist Rant

Well, Mel Gibson is fucked for real this time.

He’s already been caught saying racist, sexist and antisemitic things, and now there’s just even more to throw on top of that. Mel’s ex, Oksana Grigorieva, sold a taped conversation to RadarOnline that had some pretty freakin’ horrible things coming from Mel’s mouth. The audio can be found here, but here’s a couple examples of what he said:

“You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault.”

“I am going to come and burn the f**king house down… but you will blow me first.”

There are endless versions of the “you will blow me” line, it’s basically a lot of him sexually degrading her. Pretty terrifying stuff, considering Mel’s a father and has a ton of Christian America wrapped tightly around his Jesus-loving fingers. Oh, and don’t forget that he hits her, too.

Let’s face it: We went soft on Mel last time. There are many places in this town that Mel’s still not welcome, but we kinda gave him the Dog the Bounty Hunter treatment and not the Michael Jackson treatment he deserved. You know what I’m saying? We can’t be quick to forget that this dude is for sure a bad one.

Larry David Films Curb in NYC

Curb Your Enthusiasm is really one of the only consistently funny shows around these days, if you ask me. I got so pumped for the new season, which is currently filming in New York City, after seeing these photos online this morning. The majority of the episodes this season are being shot in NYC this year, and while I love Larry at home in LA, I’m too happy about another round of episodes that I can’t complain.

Are you looking forward to a new season of Curb, and uh, while you’re here, any recommendations for other TV comedies?
