A photo of Lady Gaga

Have you been asking yourself that question lately?  It doesn’t have to be that exact question, it could be something more like “why is it not completely gross to you that you are covered in raw meat?” or even a simple “what the fuck?”  Either way, if you saw that Vogue cover with the shredded meat bikini or the above ensemble Gaga wore at the VMAs last night, some form of “why?” has probably crossed your mind.

Lucky for us, good ol’ Ellen DeGeneres, who is vegan and also adorable, had some questions about the meat clothes as well, and she got to ask her about it in an interview after the VMAs.  Here’s what Lady Gaga had to say about it:

“It’s certainly no disrespect to anyone that’s vegan or vegetarian,” Gaga told the host. “As you know I’m the most judgment-free human being on the Earth. It has many interpretations, but for me this evening it’s [saying] if we don’t stand up for what we believe in, if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones.”

Part of me wants to mock this mercilessly (“then maybe wear a t-shirt and focus that avant-garde energy on actually doing something about that”), but a bigger part of me thinks “oh, that’s nice.”  It’s kind of like a small child making a mud pie, and she comes up to you with the pie, and she has this sweet little smile but she’s completely covered in the grossest mud.  You’re like “that’s great, kid, and this warms my heart, it really does, but do you think you could maybe take a couple steps back now?”

“[Marriage is] the one thing that I was really specific in waiting for until I was with somebody that I knew that I would be right with and she’s the one … She [Megan] makes me happy and a better person. She’s everything. There’s nice stability that comes with getting married. It’s a nice thing to know that I’ll come home to her and she’ll come home to me. It’s not the paper so much – it’s saying the vows and meaning it.”

Well, well, well. Brian Austin Green, Megan Fox’s husband, did an interview along with his wife for People magazine. Can you fucking believe it? I thought along with the those balls of his that she she locked up his larynx and vocal chords, too.

Good for you, Brian!

I mean, I know many of you’d much rather her just poke herself in public, but that’s not the question I’m asking here. Get your mind out of the gutter; I mean, I know it’s Monday morning, and those hot-assed VMA pictures have got you all riled up, but let’s get back to business here!

Lindsay Lohan, if you missed it, made a quasi-cameo appearance at last night’s Video Music Awards at the Nokia Theater. She played a rather lucrative role in a video showcasing this year’s host, Chelsea Handler (who I thought was dry and not all that entertaining, but this is what happens when you put that kind of pressure on a comedian — kinda hard to be funny when you’re expected to be funny), and spoofed herself saying, “Do you think anyone wants to work with a drunk? Take it from me, they don’t.”

I don’t know. It was nice to see Linds doing something other than walking to and from a courthouse, but I think she kind of got ahead of herself by mocking her “former” situation. May she be past all of it? Yeah, she could be. But I think a lot of people are going to say that she’s talking it up lightly just a bit too soon.

What do you think? Did you love the video, or was it over the top?

Ah, the uneventful, bland Chelsea Handler-hosted awards show that was on last night. In case you missed it, we at Evil Beet recapped the best part of the show: the red carpet appearances.

Snooki was there, looking a bit like what I’d imagine a Harry Potter lawn gnome to be if it mated with a Russet potato that was nuked in the microwave for forty-three minutes; Lady Gaga strutted her stuff all over the place, wearing what could only be described as an outfit of Cleopatra, with a twist of Katy Perry; Cher looked like the Madam Tussaud’s version of herself; Ke$ha has wicked hot legs, and Hayley Williams of Paramore was there. However, her boobs were out of sight this time.

Floyd Mayweather's Mugshot

Floyd Mayweather was arrested in Las Vegas after his baby’s mama claimed he’d beaten her. When the cops were got to the scene, they wound up booking him for something else:

As we first reported, Josie Harris called the police at around 5 AM yesterday from her home in Vegas — and when cops arrived she told them the professional boxer had attacked her and threatened to kill her.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mayweather was arrested and booked for grand larceny related to the domestic incident.  According to the report, Mayweather allegedly took personal items from Harris’ house.

As of right now, Floyd still hasn’t been charged with domestic violence, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he was. Like Mike Tyson before him, sometimes it can be hard for professional fighters to remember to take the day off.

Happy Sunday! Another famous person who flies too frequently to be ignorant to the strict rules of the TSA has been caught for doing something immeasurably dumb!

Rapper Petey Pablo was caught trying to get onto a plane with a handgun in his carry-on luggage. No, not a razor or a pair of tweezers, an entire freakin’ handgun.

From The Insider:

Raleigh-Durham International Airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin says 37-year-old Petey Pablo — whose real name is Moses Barrett III — was arrested Saturday morning. He is charged with being a felon with a gun and carrying a concealed, stolen weapon.

Hamlin says Transportation Security Administration agents found a gun in the rapper’s carry-on luggage.

Petey Pablo was released on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Monday. A phone listing could not be found for his residence in nearby Knightdale.

Damn. There are a lot of things that we can point to as evidence of Petey’s stupidity in this story (who in their right mind would try to sneak a gun on a plane any day, let alone the anniversary of 9/11) but more than dumb, he’s disrespectful. A lot of better rappers than him have gone to jail on gun charges ths year. Let’s show some respect for the community, huh?
