A photo of Lady Gaga

I know, I know, what a crazy notion, that Lady Gaga actually has some some sort of sense. But with this outfit I think that she might. I think the shoes actually look a little all right, you know, like they don’t have penises on them and they don’t look like they might kill her at any given moment like her shoes usually do. And, uh, the dress isn’t made of flesh? I don’t know, have I said enough positive things yet?

I think I have, so it’s time to get real. Because I know that I’m sensitive about David Bowie, I’m well aware of that, but Gaga’s lack of eyebrows, or rather the makeup covering her eyebrows? Is that a blatant Bowie ripoff, or have I just missed all the musical artists throughout the years that have done such a thing? See, I’m ready to listen before I go off on a rant about how Lady Gaga needs to back up before she tries to come anywhere close to the magic of Bowie. So let’s help each other.

A photo of Emma Stone

Here’s how my day starts: I wake up, I snuggle with my boyfriend until I’m on the brink of peeing my pants, I go to the bathroom, I check on the dogs, I check my email, and then I check up on good ol’ Evil Beet. Today, I got through all those steps admirably, and then once I got to the last one, I noticed that, in the morning links, there was a link titled “10 things you may not know about Emma Stone.” Talk about starting a day off right.

Just in case you don’t check out the links as much as you should (and you really should), I’m going to be a doll and let you know those ten facts:

1. Emma dropped out of high school at 15 to pursue acting full-time. She eventually finished via home schooling.

2. Emma’s natural hair color is blonde. When she was a teenager she dyed it brown. But, it was Judd Apatow who was the first one to suggest to her to change her hair color to red for her role in Superbad.

3. Alongside Rumer Willis and Katharine McPhee, Emma covered “I Know What Boys Want” by The Waitresses for The House Bunny.

4. She learned to play bass for her role in The Rocker.

5. In 2008, Emma was romantically linked to her The Rocker co-star, Teddy Geiger.

6. Emma is really good friends with her Superbad co-star Jonah Hill. She’s also close friends with Taylor Swift.

7. She convinced her parents to let her move to Hollywood and pursue acting by making a PowerPoint presentation to Madonna’s song “Hollywood”.

8. Emma auditioned for the role of Claire Bennet on NBC’s ‘Heroes’. She told Vanity Fair in their August issue, “I could hear that, in the other room, a girl had just gone in and they were saying, ‘You are our pick … On a scale of 1 to 10 you’re an 11… I went home and just had this meltdown”. The girl in the other room was Hayden Panettiere.

9. When she was younger, Emma was really into HTML and web design.

10. While growing up in Arizona, Emma acted in a local theatre production of The Wiz with future American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.

So there you have it.  Now we know that the glorious Emma Stone can play the bass, is BFFs with Taylor Swift, and makes really impressive PowerPoints. I think I’ll go ahead and start building her a shrine now.

Don’t let the title mislead you: I’m not a fan of the original movies. Really, the only reason I’m putting these here photos up onto the site is because there were a lot of fun people in attendance, like Rupert Grint, Tom Felton … and Rupert Grint. There were a few others there, too, but none more important than those of the Harry Potter franchise.

Ooh, wait – John Lithgow was there, too and I just adore me some John Lithgow. Can anyone else look at him without thinking about the gremlin on the wing?:

Anyway. Back to the movie premiere. I wonder how good this movie can really be if the execs can’t even get the title nice. Rise OF THE Planet OF THE Apes? Could that roll of the tongue more awkwardly? Never mind. I told you earlier I was in a nitpicky mood today, so I’m not going to subject you to my complaining. Let’s just hold hands, make nice, and look at the pretty pictures of Rupert Grint and Tom Felton together, OK? Would that be alright?

photo of hot selena gomez pictures photos concert costumes pics

Yup, so this is what the Selena Gomez who is totally not sleeping with the underage Justin Bieber is wearing for her latest concert. Last night, Selena kicked off her US tour in Boca Raton, Florida, and debuted some skimpy, heading for Rihanna territory-type costumery (please and thank you).

Also. I need you guys to be totally candid with me: is this girl even really all that talented, or do people just go see her because she’s Justin Bieber’s girlfriend? And if the latter is the case, what will become of Selena Gomez in the end?

Morrissey in concert July 5

We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried S—t every day.

photo of britney spears crazy eyes pictures photos tour costumes pics

This is a photo from one of Britney latest tour stops, and from the bridge of the nose down, she looks good. Really good. But then you let your gaze wander up, and it all kind of goes to hell from there.

I’m sad for Britney – I really and truly am. I know she’s doing what makes her happy, but it’s apparently not enough. I wish we could go back in time and figure out where everything went so wrong, and just …I don’t know. Either make sure it happens all over again or try to avoid it at all costs. I’m feeling a little under the weather today, so I’m not really sure what end of the spectrum my mood on this is falling right now. Still, like Brit, I just know I’ll figure it out sooner or later.
