Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Monday Morning Holler Back

Ashton Kutcher is developing a candid-camera-style reality series for NBC based on the film The Wedding Crashers. Matt Stone has it on good authority that Saddam Hussein is being forced to watch South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut in prison. Hussein banned the movie in his own country in 1999 because it depicts him as the gay lover of Satan. Fussy, fussy. Maybe you should just stay at home and drink alone, Tara. ...

Picking up the Pieces: James Lipton is Sooo Not Getting a Bid from Any of the Good Houses Edition

  • Bridget Grish doesn't care if you look at her tits. Her mySpace page? That's different.
  • George Clooney is rumored to be dating Ellen Barkin. If you don't know who Ellen Barkin is, you're in good company. She's in Oceans 13 right now, and she's credited in films going back to 1978 (which is approximately when I'd guess her IMDB photo was taken), but she's essentially a no-name, and an aging one at that (birth date on IMDB: April 16, 1954). Could it be that George Clooney wants to build a true, lasting relationship with an emotional peer? Hmm. Nah. It's a really clever PR stunt, though. Way more subtle than inventing a baby.
  • James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio recites lyrics to "K-Fed Freestyle" on Conan O'Brian. Then he takes a beer bong. Poorly. Like pre-frosh from Minnesota poorly. Thanks to Tiffany at PopCultureWhore for the link.

Pirates of the Caribbean Sucked But You All Liked It So Here’s Pictures of the Third One Being Filmed

The eight of you who followed the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will be relieved to know the filming of the third edition is in full swing out here in Los Angeles. I'd typically make some reference now to the cliffhanger at the end of the last one, and how it will be duly resolved, but after the investment of three hours of my life that I will never get back, I have absolutely no idea what happened in that movie. There was a sword fight on some manner of wheel and a Johnny Depp character better suited to The Birdcage, but everything else went right past me. But since most of the known world saw it anyway, I can't really blame Disney for trudging forward with another.

Weekend Update: Black People Can’t Swim Edition

  • Americans nationwide unite for the single purpose of helping CBS generate buzz for its upcoming season of Survivor: Racism, and the ever-observant Rush Limbaugh just wants to do his part to help. From E! Online: Hispanics, he said, "have shown a remarkable ability to cross borders" and "will do things other people won't do." Asians, per Limbaugh, are "the best at espionage, keeping secrets." Blacks "lack buoyancy" and are "more likely to drown," while the white man's burden will weigh down the last team with "guilt over the fact that they run things." I hope someone has thought to award this man an honorary Ph.D.
  • Douglas L. Hall has written a script for Angelina Jolie. Would you like to read it? Now you can, at www.myscriptforangelinajolie.com.
  • Jesse McCartney would like to take back what he said about Jennifer Lopez. If only he could do the same thing for the entirety of Summerland.
  • Check out this video of two Chinese students lip-syncing to Jessica Simpson's "A Public Affair." Pay special attention to the motionless kid in the background who quietly plays a first-person shooter game on his computer while his roommates sing their hearts out. Thanks to Anna for the link.

Box-Office Hits for Your Weekend

Just a few random clips I thought I'd leave for anyone who swings by this weekend.
Just a few random clips I thought I'd leave for anyone who swings by this weekend.Remember when Jessie Spano was abusing caffeine pills? Yes, you do. You reminisce about it at least once weekly with your friends. Unless you're one of the people who keeps showing up on this site searching for Cacee Cobb and Donald Faison, in which case you are 14 at best, and the only thing you know about Mark-Paul Gosselaar is that he died in a car accident at least 5 times before you finished elementary school.Speak...

More Odds & Ends: Vaginas Everywhere!

/>That girl with two vaginas? She has a blog now. 24-year-old fashion assistant Bridget Grish gets fired from Life & Style after her amateur porn videos show up on the web. There's a lesson in there somewhere, I'm sure of it.Harry Morton -- La Lohan's latest squeeze -- wants to lend his Mexican-cum-vagina-themed restaurant's name, Pink Taco, to the Arizona Cardinals new stadium. There's an Arizona-Cardinals-are-pussies joke to be made here, but after writing the previous sentence, I'm in no mo...

Picking Up the Pieces

If you liked Mean Girls, you'll love Heathers 2. When William H. Macy goes on the record with how much you suck, Lindsay Lohan, you must totally suck. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been lurking around the Yahoo/HBO complex in Santa Monica. They must have found a sitter for their little Suri. And by "sitter" I of course mean "fake sitter," and by "Suri" I of course mean "PR stunt." Since he can't marry Kate Moss just yet, Pete Doherty is passing the time by sneaking cocaine to teenagers in rehab...

JLo Preggers; Jesse McCartney Needs Additional Media Training

Let's start from the beginning: hottie Jesse McCartney is dating Katie Cassidy. Who is Katie Cassidy? For starters, she's David Cassidy's daughter, although I remember watching an MTV special about her fledgling singing career several years ago, and she had basically no relationship with her father other than him calling bi-monthly to urge her not to pursue a singing career. When the singing career eventually failed to pursue her, she must have gone into acting, as I hear she beat out the likes of...
