Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Robogeisha!

This is the trailer for a film that actually played at the Seattle International Film Festival. I'm only sorry that I didn't attend the screening. One YouTube commenter said "This is not a trailer, it's more like the best things? in the world put into one video clip," and I can't really say it any better than that. Clearly, here in Seattle, our film festivals are way more awesome than our cops. /> This is the trailer for a film that actually played at the Seattle International Film Festival.

Don’t Fuck with the Seattle Cops

This video has been making the rounds here in Seattle. A cop tried to cite a few teenagers for jaywalking, and when they resisted, the cop punched a teenage girl in the face. INSANE. I'm not a cop-hater, but videos like this remind me why a lot of folks are. The full story, from KOMO News, is after the jump. Read More /> This video has been making the rounds here in Seattle.

Just Dropping by to Say …

I cannot fucking wait until the new Eminem album is officially released so that I can talk to everybody about how fucking goddamn brilliant it is and you'll be able to agree. Not that I've been listening to it over and over again for a week now or anything. It hasn't been released yet -- how would that be possible? Seriously, though, y'all. It's good. I have a special place in my heart for rap, and this album just blows everything else out of the water. And I'm actually someone who liked Rel...

The Tony Awards Red Carpet: THE DRESSES

Kristen Chenoweth at the Tony Awards Red Carpet Hey, so the Tony Awards happened. The Tony Awards are like the Oscars but for old people. I know what you're thinking: "Isn't the Oscars for old people now too?" The answer is yes. The Oscars were actually always for old people, but we didn't understand that until they started broadcasting in HD. The Tony Awards are for older people. Older people who attend thee-ah-tah. These people are too old to really be that mean to, except for Cate Blanchett, because she looks about mid-beamed by Scotty...

Snooki May Save Season 2 of Jersey Shore

The preview for Jersey Miami Shore has finally hit the Internet, and, although a lot of it is exactly the hyperbolic dreck you were expecting, there is some potential for awesomeness. First off: Snooki is awesome. The girl is fucking hilarious. She plays the ditz, but she's perceptive and cutting and she knows how to entertain. I was worried she'd become a caricature of herself (as if she weren't already), but instead it seems she's just developed a keener sense of what's wonderful about the character she's playing, the way Megan Mullally so brilliantly developed the Karen Walker character during the first season of Will & Grace. Also: Angelina's back. Oh, I hate her so. Rambling on and on about second chances. Fuck that. I'm angry that she's on the show again. She forfeited her first chance. NO SECOND CHANCE FOR YOU. I hope JWoww punches her. And most awesomely: Ronnie and Sammi broke up. BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE TOGETHER. The preview shows Ronnie's alcoholic ass slamming back drinks with his buddies in Jersey, talking about how he's going to be "creepy" and "weird" in Miami, which I think in guido-speak actually means he's planning to get with a lot of girls. And then Sammi is going to freak out and retaliate. And then Ronnie is going to freak out and retaliate back. And then Sammi is probably going to hook up with the Situation. And then Ronnie is going to -- GASP! -- drink too much and punch someone and go to jail for a night and then voluntarily decide to attend AA meetings before this cycle escalates to more serious consequences do it all again. I'm pretty psyched for this, I'll admit. /> The preview for Jersey Miami Shore has finally hit the Internet, and, although a lot of it is exactly the hyperbolic dreck you were expecting, there is some potential for awesomeness.

CFDA Awards Red Carpet: THE DRESSES

Last night the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) hosted its annual awards ceremony in New York City. As you might expect, the red carpet was kind of fantastic. A billion pics in the gallery below.

Quotables

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart at Chrysalis Butterfly Ball "For what?" Grey's Anatomy regular contributor Eric Dane, after an E! news reporter informed him that absentee co-star, Katherine Heigl, had submitted her name for a Best Supporting Actress Emmy. (Photos are of Eric and wife Rebecca Gayheart at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball on June 5.) [gallery]...

Remember How I Said Alanis Morrissette Was Pregnant?

Alanis Morrissette at the Prince of Persia Premiere with Pregnant Tits, Pictures Photos That was yesterday. I just discovered further evidence. These pics were taken on May 17 at the Prince of Persia premiere, before her tiny, quiet wedding to a man she's been dating less than a year. Her grin is the only thing bigger than her giant, prego breasts and her giant, prego-concealing dress. I'm happy for her. She looks gorge. [gallery]...

I Have No Idea Why Meredith Viera Is on Kate Gosselin’s New Show, and Certainly No Idea Why Kate’s Hair Extensions Are the New Abortion

Here's a clip from the premiere of Kate Plus 8, which I didn't watch, because I don't have a DVR right now. Also, I wouldn't have watched it anyway. Meredith Viera on Kate Gosselin's hair extensions: "It's her body." Which, like, is true, but also why are we airing TV episodes heightening the body-ownership drama of Kate's hair extensions six months after this shit played out in the press? This is not to give Meredith Viera any shit, it's just a dumb way to cut an episode. Was the rest of the show any better? How did the sextuplets do on their first day of high school? Is Mady's divorce finalized yet? WHEN IS THIS ALL GOING TO END? Kate's hair looks waaaay worse in this clip than it ever did in photos. That's the thing about fusion hair extensions like hers: They look pretty decent in photos, but they look awful under any other circumstance. They look even more awful if your hair is too short to properly disguise them. Also, I think this hair guy did a shitty job. /> Here's a clip from the premiere of Kate Plus 8, which I didn't watch, because I don't have a DVR right now. Also, I wouldn't have watched it anyway.

Alanis Morrissette Ties the Knot!

Alanis Morrissette and Husband Mario "MC Souleye" Treadway After, like, eight failed engagements to Ryan Reynolds, Alanis Morrissette has finally found true, free-stylin' love -- she got married on May 22 to some rapper called Souleye. I honestly have no idea whether that's pronounced "soul eye" or "sol-ay," but either way his real name is Mario Treadway and I'm sure he's a very nice person. (Why does "souleye" seem like a euphemism for anus?) The couple married in a small ceremony at their home in Los Angeles, and their rep just confirmed the ne...

MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet: THE DRESSES

I did not watch the MTV Movie Awards last night. I did not watch them because I was, I dunno, doing anything other than watching the MTV Movie Awards. This did not stop me from logging into the photo agency sites tonight to pore over every damn dress that everyone wore, because that is the only thing good about awards shows anymore. I'm so old I don't even recognize half of the people in these photos. I'll tell you what, though: THEY'RE ALL FAT. I'm kidding, of course. After nearly two full ...

Happy Memorial Day!

We're taking the day off around here to enjoy the start of summer. We assume you're doing the same, and we're sad for the people (you know who you are) who are spending their day off trolling around a site like this leaving mean comments. Get outside and drink some beer and try saying that shit to someone's face for a change. We'll catch y'all Tuesday. />...
