Have fun tonight, kids, and please be safe. Don’t pull a Mischa. Remember that a taxi costs a hell of a lot less than a DUI.

If you still don’t have your plans nailed down, and you’re in the LA area, come party with me at Republic in Hollywood!!!

There will be all sorts of celebs there — including Adam Sandler and Ludacris — which is nice, but I just got word that Melrose from America’s Next Top Model will be there, and that got me excited. I think Melrose and I are going to be BFF.

Ticket presales are available until 6 pm today. And VIP ticket = open bar!!!!!

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!!!

I’m pretty crazy today trying to get everything ready to go home for the holidays tonight, so posting will resume on Monday.

I hope you’re all having a fabulous time with your families and loved ones, and I certainly hope you all got your shopping done already, because I tried to go to the mall yesterday, and, after 15 minutes of driving around, still hadn’t found a parking spot. I just turned around and left. Everyone’s getting an Amazon gift certificate. :)

Lots of love to all you readers. Have a happy and safe holiday.

Hopefully this site will be running smoothly again.

Please let me know ASAP if you’re still experiencing problems gaining access to the site.

I love you guys!

I am so, so, so sorry about this.

But we’re growing!!! STILL!!! And the great big huge server we switched over to just a few months ago can’t handle the traffic anymore, so we’re moving to a great big HUGER server tomorrow afternoon (hopefully — Thursday at the latest). There should not be any down time during the switch (hopefully).

This should resolve the issues you guys have been seeing lately.

Thank you all SO SO SO much for your loyal readership. I can’t tell you how much it means to me.

Happy Monday, ya’ll!!

I’m flying back from Miami this morning so I’ll be MIA until around lunchtime in LA. Get it? MIA? Miami? Ha ha. I slay me. I have had the most amazing time in this city — now I understand why Will Smith wrote an entire song about it. What a vibrant and friendly city. Thanks to those of you who sent me ideas about culturally enriching activities in which I might participate while here; instead, I alternated my time between three bars called Tavern, Sandbar and Mr. Moe’s. Talk about diverse. They were like a whole two blocks apart! Oh, and then Sandbar ran out of Red Bull and I really wanted Red Bull so I left to go look for a mini mart and wandered a little far and suddenly I was in this ghetto and this crackhead with one leg and a bicycle is like “Honey, you are walking in the wrong direction” and I’m like “I just want Red Bull!” and so the (nice) crackhead with one leg and a bicycle gave me an escort to the mini mart and I gave the crackhead two dollars to buy crack. So that was pretty cultural of me, I think.

Now on to other matters.

Over the past month or two, I’ve had a lot of you contact me about wanting to know more about who I am, what I look like, how I turned out this way, who raised me, etc. I think it’s kind of obnoxious when certain bloggers (not naming names, but you know who you are … ahem … Perez) pepper a celeb gossip blog with 100 photos of themselves every week. So I’m not going to do that. If you come here for the gossip and the snark, that’s what you’re gonna get. If you are one of those people who wants to know a little more about my life, I’ve added a photos section, where you can check out photos of me and my friends and my life. I’ve got a few pics of me up there now, and will add to it from all the pics I took in Miami, and we’ll go from there.

And now, the most important thing of all:

CONGRATULATIONS to Beet reader and my friend Emily, who got engaged to a truly wonderful man this weekend. Emily was one of our very first readers and fans, all the way back in the early days, so we know she has fantastic taste. Everyone here at The Beet wishes Emily and Adam our sincerest congratulations and all the best in the future. (And this is also the cheapest engagement present we could think up.) Welcome to the family, Emily!

The good news: Evil Beet’s grown by leaps and bounds in the past few months. Readership had sky-rocketed, and I love you guys for that.

The bad news: Lots of down time, as those of you who are regular readers have probably noticed. It’s become a little ridiculous in the past couple of days, and I’m sorry for that. So, we’re moving to a new server, better equipped to handle this traffic.

The really, really bad news: Starting at 11 pm PST tonight, the site will be down for up to 24 hours while the server migration takes place and the new IP address is propagated. Hopefully it will not take that long, and everything will be peachy by tomorrow morning, but I just want to give you guys a heads-up in case you can’t get on the site tomorrow.

xoxo,
Beet
