Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Time Well Spent (A Farewell Post)

This weekend was my last weekend as an editor here at Evil Beet. Sarah will be taking over the heady responsibility of providing you with your weekend celebrity gossip fix. The job is in good hands. I can hardly believe it's been a year (almost to the day) since I took over the job of weekend editor. In that time, I've learned much from my fellow editors and authors-- Wendy and Molls-- and have felt truly privileged to have been able to work for the brilliant Beet herself, Miss Sasha Pasulka. I owe them all a debt of gratitude. However, I owe the greatest share of thanks to you-- the readers of this site-- not just for putting up with my spelling errors, but for providing me with the overwhelming experience of having an actual audience. Until I took this job, writing was a very personal, intimate endeavor for me. I always put a part of myself in my best writing, and before Evil Beet, always felt embarrassed showing my work to anyone else, lest they criticize it, and by extension me. Through both kind encouragement and eviscerating castigation, you've certainly broken me of that! I'm not sure exactly what my future holds, but I think it's safe to say that I will continue to write, although in what capacity I'm not yet certain. For the time being, I am content simply to take a few month's worth of weekends to play a shit ton of video games and dance myself silly at a shit ton of parties. See ya around, internet. Take care of yourself. />This weekend was my last weekend as an editor here at Evil Beet. Sarah will be taking over the heady responsibility of providing you with your weekend celebrity gossip fix.

Tiger Doesn’t Quite Tell All

Tiger Woods broke his media silence today in what turned out to be a surprisingly thorough interview with the Golf Channel (watch it in its entirety here). I was ready for a fluff piece focusing mainly on his golf performance, but the journalist who interviewed him actually asked some difficult questions. Tiger didn't answer them all, but you can't make someone talk if they don't want to, and Tiger is definitely staying tight-lipped about exactly what happened that night when he plowed his car in...

Usher Bought Justin Bieber a Range Rover

be be Bieber celebrated his 16th birthday in L.A. a few weeks ago and threw a party to celebrate.  The party included all the usual "sweet 16" birthday shenanigans-- cake, spankins, and that traditional teenage right of passage: receiving a Range Rover from Usher. Kids these days are so spoiled. When I turned 16, all I got was Sisqo and a Pontiac. In the music industry, I think it's perfectly fine for a producer to give a Range Rover as a birthday present to a kid that's made him millio...

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s New, Shorter “Break-Up” Hair

After splitting with boyfriend Jamie Kennedy a little over a week ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt already appears to be squarely on step four of the breakup routine: 1. Get really drunk with your friends 2. Embarrassing phone call / email to ex (sometimes done concurrently with step 1) 3. Question self worth 4. Get a new hairdo (some women replace "hairdo" with "tattoo") 5. Have a rebound 6. Regret Rebound 7. Say you just want to concentrate on "you" and be single for a while It's...

Hipster Love

Mark Ronson was spotted leaving a London hotel, holding hands with a "mystery girl" who is both breaking the tights-are-not-pants rule and inspiring a new rule, which I am going to call the Navajo-blankets-are-not-jackets rule. There's also something going on below the knee that could be boots, or could be garbage bag shin guards wrapped over suede booties. Garbage bag greaves are only acceptable if you are A) homeless, or B) going to clean up a crime scene. Slow down mystery girl! Life ...

Quotables

"With all I’ve been through with marriage, divorce and girlfriends, I’m the wrong guy to ask. I happen to like Jesse and hope this works out for them. However, should it not, with all her success and money, I’d be happy to take Sandra Bullock out for the time of her life." ---Dennis Rodman gets in line behind the rest of Hollywood, lookin to score some Sandra Bullock on the rebound. March Madness!! We could probably do a bracket of all the celebrity guys who will be vying for her atten...

“Hogwart’s Castle” Burns Down on Set of 7th Harry Potter Movie

A special effects explosion went wrong while filming a battle scene for the upcoming movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and "Hogwart's Castle" was completely incinerated. To clarify, a set at Leavesden Film Studios in Hertfordshire that is used for most of the interior shots of the castle (like the photo above) burned down, not the 11th century castle in Northumberland that is gussied up with computer animation and used for the exterior shots in the movies (yes, they use different ...

Wut?

Britney Spears stepped out in L.A. earlier this week in what can only be described as.... well it can't. I mean, what is it? I think it's a wife beater over... are those pantaloons?? With pantyhose??? Whoever uploaded these pics to the photo service had the colossal balls to label them "Britney Spears is Fashion Forward in L.A." [gallery]...

Real World Cast Member Files Police Report Over Toothbrush in the Toilet

I'm not really sure how to handle this story. I'm struggling to see my keyboard through tears of laughter. Maybe I'll just start by offering this friendly piece of advice: If you're gonna piss on someone's toothbrush, you'd better be sure you don't have gonorrhea. Ryan Leslie of the current Real World: Back to New Orleans cast filed a report with N.O. police alleging that fellow Real World roommate, Preston Roberson-Charles, urinated on his toothbrush and used the instrument to scrub out ...

How the Success of ‘Glee’ is Destroying Television

The title isn't entirely accurate. It's not really Glee that's destroying television-- it's the stupidity of network TV executives who like to jump on bandwagons faster than a Duke lacrosse team on a stripper. The huge success of Glee has led Fox network executives to believe that a Glee-style musically themed week of programs during May sweeps would be a good idea. I was dubious about the wisdom of such a move until they announced that the dark Sci-fi action / mystery series Fringe would be one of the programs to be given the Glee...

Octomom is Losing Her House

Octomom's house is about to be foreclosed upon. She owes $4,000 in late payments and failed to make a $450,000 balloon payment that was due on March 10th. The $565,000 house was originally signed over to Suleman's father, who leased the house to his daughter and agreed to pay $4,000 a month plus the single payment of $450,000 that was due on the 10th. The person who sold the house to Suleman and holds the note has said he will give her until Tuesday to pay the two amounts, plus interest a...

India to Lindsay Lohan: GTFO

Lindsay Lohan filmed a BBC documentary about child trafficking in India last year. The documentary earned her the ire of activists who claimed she trivialized the efforts of those working to rescue enslaved children by allegedly insinuating that she had been personally involved in the rescue of 40 children. "One Indian lobbyist claimed that Lohan portrayed the operations in a superficial light by suggesting that they could be carried out by a passing celebrity." While her alleged insinuations mig...
