I have not seen The Talk yet, but now that I’ve read about all of the drama that’s going on behind the scenes at the show, I’m almost definitely going to delete some episodes of Extreme Couponing off of my DVR to make room for this shit.
After only a week on the job, Susan Winston, the new executive producer of CBS’ The Talk, has turned in her letter of resignation.
Barely a month ago, The Talk’s original executive producer Brad Bessey announced he wouldn’t be returning for a second season. Now his replacement is gone too, and the early speculation is the show may not even hire someone else. What the hell is going on with CBS’ newest daytime offering? Developed as a replacement for As The World Turns, this shoddy View impersonation has gotten almost universally slandered by critics and has shed viewers from the figures its soap opera predecessor was putting up. Original correspondent Marissa Janet Winokur quit within the first few months, and now the hot rumor is Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete can’t get along backstage.
Of course a part of me is disappointed that there’s so much drama surrounding a show that’s simply trying to give a diverse group of women a forum to use their voices, but another part of me is thrilled that I might have something to fill the void that’s been there ever since the ladies on The View stopped fighting. These days you just have to wait for one of those episodes where Elisabeth Hasselbeck says something incredibly dumb for the show to get any attention in the headlines.
Let’s hope that things between Leah and Holly continue to get tense until one of them snaps on camera and we get to see the shitshow that I think we’re all secretly anticipating.
Have you been watching The Talk? Any signs of that epic meltdown I’m predicting so far?
Listen, I am not a violent person. I am the least violent person I know. That being said, there are still times when people say or do something that just makes me want to punch them in the throat. Why the throat specifically, you might ask. Because I’m a short girl who can’t pack much of a punch, and it just makes sense.
Anyway, as I’m sure you can imagine by now, Twitter is a great place for people to say douchey things deserving of a splash of violence, and so here are a few examples for you to peruse:
See, we have the beautifulLL Cool J just saying words, Lea Michele doing her usual and ruining everything she touches, and Wyclef making minimal sense but sounding judgey enough to deserve some reprimanding.
Which celebrity is most deserving of a punch to the throat?
Special shoutout to our friends at WCHE 1520 in West Chester, PA for borrowing their Celebrity Tweet of the Day segment. We’re still not giving it back! ;) You guys can tune in and listen live at WCHE1520.com for even more celebrity-related banter and all-around, general awesomeness with our good friend, the studly Matt Lombardo.
“I’d love to do a duet, always wanted to work with Madonna, but she never asked. [Madonna and GaGa are] the perfect fit. I’m as outrageous as they are. I was gaudy before they were gaudy.”
Is it Dolly’s country charm that makes her more likable? Maybe it’s because she has a magical theme park a couple of hours down the road from me. Or maybe it’s because she’s done songs like “Jolene” and “Coat of Many Colors” instead of nonsense like “Judas” and whatever Madonna does nowadays.
How do you guys feel? Is Dolly better than Gaga and Madonna (of course), did she pave the way for these ladies (maybe), and should she do a duet with either of them (definitely not at all, not even a little. Stick to Kenny Rogers, Dolly. Don’t be gross)?
Warning: if you’re not a die-hard Harry Potter fan, you might not give a flying crap about the above video. That being said, I’m going to proceed.
AUGGGGGGGGGGGH I’M SO SAD THAT THIS WHOLE THING IS JUST ABOUT PRACTICALLY OVER! I seriously don’t know what I’m going to do with myself after this last movie. If ABC Family doesn’t run its Harry Potter weekend at least once a month, I might have go to on, like, a detox program or something.
I went to Facebook to see what the masses were all excited about, and the reactions ranged from accolades to veterans and servicemen and women, living and dead, to ‘OMG I finally get to wear white!!!’ (that vapid bitch was deleted before I could finish counting the exclamation points on her stupid retort). Regardless, here’s a little true history lesson:
Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. Service Members who died while in the military service.[1] First enacted by the an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War – it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. Begun as a ritual of remembrance and reconciliation after the Civil War, by the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as ordinary people visited the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they had served in the military or not.
I know a lot of you probably think that we here at Evil Beet don’t give a crap about things other than celebrities and their bank accounts and who they’re fucking at the moment, but I can speak for all of us when we say that we take any opportunity to actually honor people of valor very seriously.
So Happy Memorial Day, and take a moment of silence to remember the fallen men and women who did their part – no matter how small or large – to afford you the opportunity to wear white until September. And for any of you anti-American I-hate-The-Man-and-his-minion bastards who want to thumb their nose at Memorial Day because you don’t really understand anyway, well. There’s a special place in my barbecue pit just for you next to the roast pig gagged with an apple.
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...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
