Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Tim Conway, dead at 85

I don't usually subscribe to the so called "rule of threes".  That celebrities die in 3's.  Its usually some nobody that rounds it out.  But this last week has really been hard on our old timey stars.  Peggy Lipton, Doris Day and now Tim Conway. Tim was a staple on The Carol Burnett Show and enjoyed constant fame even into his 70's. He was even in episodes of the Simpsons, 30 Rock and Spongebob! Conway's longtime colleague, Vicki Lawrence, also paid tribute. "Hysterical, crazy, bold, fea...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers wrapped up in big marijuana bust

Upon landing they were stopped by customs who discovered they had nearly 5,000 cannabis plants...

Lena Dunham & Brad Pitt are adorable together? Yes.

  I am honestly so envious.  This Brad Pitt stays handsome and sweet forever and I want to hang out with him.  But Lena got to. On Lena Dunhams 33rd birthday, which was Monday, she posted pics of a fundraiser she hosted last week for Friendly House, a recovery house for women.  Lena herself is proud as punch to say she is sober one year in April and clearly feels passionately about the facility. Brad and Lena costar in the upcoming movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and so when she asked him to attend, the adorable Brad said of course.  Lena shared snaps of them hugging on Instagram and I'm just green.

I may own a birthday bitch hat, but IRL I’m no big birthday bitch. For someone who loves both attention and presents, I’ve sure cancelled a lotta bday parties at the last minute (a special sorry to @mattpolf who had already hired a crafting teacher last year, and @lesleyarfin who was ready to DJ in 2011.) I used to think there was something a bit unseemly about an adult leaning into their birthday, until I realized I was actually just jealous of the confidence and self-love it takes to say “it’s my day, people!” I often felt I was making up for some original sin and that the nicest thing I could do for others on my birthday was make myself as unobtrusive as possible (it never worked and I usually either barfed or cried.) But this year is different. This year I’m... wait for it... happy. And so grateful for where I am, who I am, and everyone who has helped me on my journey to health & sobriety. 32 was good to me, and for 33 I wanted to say a big old thank you. So I hosted a Spring fundraiser for @friendlyhousela (the first recovery home for women in the United States) in LA last week. It was the best day ever and @anniecampbell literally brought a Pinterest board to life!!! And today, rather than presents, I’d love for you to donate to Friendly House, which is dedicated to helping women navigate the journey through addiction to recovery. It’s a journey I know first hand can only be attempted with love and support, which is why I have started a scholarship fund for women who are determined to recover but don’t have the financial means to begin. Go to the link in my bio to donate. Thank you to everyone who came out to support last week; you melt my heart. Thank you for the birthday wishes. And a special thank you to those of you who donate. It brings me such joy to think of how together we can directly affect so many women who have forgotten that they matter. Let’s remind them! Lots of LOVE xo

Britney Spears Joins the “Free Britney” movement

Keeping up with the mishagos that is Britney's life is a full time job. Also just happens to be my job. Ever since last month when Britney was checked into an LA rehab, fans have been raising hell and even protesting that Britney was being held against her will.  For a while, Britney would seem to deny those allegations.  She was seen leaving the rehab a few times with bf Sam and seemed in good spirits. Then came Friday when she was seen leaving a court house with bare feet and lookin...

‘Empire’ to end after next season

I don't know if it was the Jussie scandal or poor ratings, but Fox announced this morning that "Empire" will conclude next season.  The shows 6th season. “We are turning the final season into a television event,” Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said. “One of the great benefits of announcing a final season announce have the fans lean in have the finale they desire.” When pressed on whether Jussie Smollett would be returning for the show’s final season, Collier said, ...

Actress Doris Day, Dead at 97

Doris Day, for those to young to remember, was the epitome of pure and wholesome.  She represented everything movies tried to convince us was proper back in the 50's and 60's.  And she did it perfectly. The Doris Day Animal Foundation confirmed Day died early Monday at her Carmel Valley, California, home. The foundation says in an emailed statement she was surrounded by close friends and “had been in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia.” Doris Day, for those to young to remember, was the epitome of pure and wholesome.  She represented everything movies tried to convince us was proper back in the 50's and 60's.  And she did it perfectly.

Ariana Grande revealed as new face of Givenchy

It wasn't the hardest puzzle to figure out, but the coveted spot as the face of Givenchy! The honor means she'll be the focus of many ad campaigns and wear Givenchy almost exclusively on red carpets. I'm interested to see how that fairs because she's so tiny and brand models are usually so tall. Per Waight Keller’s post, she’ll first appear in the winter 2019 campaign. She joins an impressive roster of official ambassadors and Givenchy fans. Waight Keller frequently dresses Meghan Markle (including her wedding gown), and the Times called Audrey Hepburn the “original brand ambassador” for her relationship with Hubert de Givenchy.

Watch Kris Jenner learn Kim’s surrogates in labor while on Ellen

You likely heard Kim and Kanye's surrogate is in labor with their 4th child.  But Kris Jenner didn't know this when she sat down with Ellen for Thursday's show. Towards the end of the interview Ellen revealed she had a surprise for Kris, which is when Kourtney came out with 6 of Kris' grandchildren. Mason Disick, 9, North West, 5, Penelope Disick, 6, Reign Disick, 4, Saint West, 3, and Chicago West, 1. THEN it got good. Already a bit weepy from seeing her grand kids unexpectedly, Kri...

DIY show host, Troy Dean Shafer, dead at 38

I watch a LOT of home improvement tv.  I mean every single night I watch at least 3 HGTV or DIY shows. So I was really heart broken to hear about Troy's death. Shafer’s brother told TMZ that he died unexpectedly in his sleep on April 28. He had no medical conditions, so the cause of death is still unknown.  A toxicology report was ordered, but that could weeks. The official statement from the channel said; “The DIY Network family is sorry to hear about the passing of Troy Dean S...

Master Archie visits the Queen and other royal baby news

There's a million things happening with this kid and he's not even a day old. Baby Archie Harrison will NOT have a royal title and will be known "simply" as Master Archie. Only in England is "master" a simple title. Oddly, Prince George, cousin to Archie, is nicknamed Archie. I hope they have a girl next and name her Archileen. Baby got 1,400,000 likes on instagram in an hour when his photo was posted. (shut up, that's kind of news) Gayle King, who was at Meghans baby shower, is the ...
