Thanks to the support of our readers and our evil cohorts, the Evil Beet has grown quite a bit since its July 2006 launch. We feel it's time to bid adieu to Blogger, and we're starting up operations on our own domain name.
We'll keep this one around for awhile, but we won't be updating here.
So change your bookmarks! You can visit us now at EvilBeetGossip.com.
See ya there!
Hello, lovely readers!
I'm taking off in the wee hours of tomorrow morning (read: 10 a.m.) for fabulous Park City, Utah, where I will be covering the Sundance Film Festival for Film.com through Monday. I'm taking Spiteful Lars with me, because he makes me laugh and he'll carry my bags.
This means we are leaving The Beet in the very capable hands of Miss Evil T, who will be popping in every now and then to make you laugh and to keep you updated on the very latest gossip on the five celebrities who will not be with me, snorting cocaine off Christina Ricci's ass-cheek in a predominantly Mormon state whose bars close at one in the morning.
Film.com will be covering all aspects of the festival, with regular video updates, film reviews, photo galleries and staff diaries. You can check it all out here. So read it, watch it, look at it, link to it, live it with us and love it the way we love you.
My brilliant, beautiful, amazing friend Desirae, who has graciously lent me her laptop for the week since mine decided to have a complete crisis of self (and CPU) smack in the middle of finals week. THANK YOU DESIRAE! I LOVE YOU!
Very close runners-up are Evil T and Spiteful Lars, who have been keeping this thing going smoothly while I have been computer-deficient. Even when my computer is running too slowly for me to post, it perks up my day and makes me laugh out loud (in a good way) to read what they've posted. I LOVE YOU GUYS TOO!!!
We should be back to normal around here in the next couple of days. Thank you all for reading. Mwah!

From Blogger's status blog:
Thursday, November 30, 2006
We are currently investigating the intermittent 502 error pages on the new version of Blogger in beta and its Blog*Spot blogs. If you experience one of these errors, waiting a minute or so and refreshing may help.
I've talked to a few other gossip bloggers, all of whom are experiencing insane levels of traffic from people searching for Britney's vagina. At Evil Beet yesterday we experienced traffic at more than ten times our normal level. Today we're on track for that to be twenty times. I wonder if this sudden traffic surge is impacting Google's Blogger servers. Man, I hope so. I hope Britney's vagina broke Google.
Related: sorry for the 502 errors. It's not my fault! If you try to load the site and it won't come up, try again in a few minutes. Thanks for reading! (Or, um, looking, as is the case for most of you.)
Quick note from the Beet: I apologize for the incredibly slow load times lately. We're seeing unprecedented levels of traffic, thanks to the whole freakin' world searching for pictures of Britney Spears' vagina. Unfortunately, they're not our servers (but thank you, Google, for letting us use yours for free), so there's not a whole lot we can do. Hang in there, and I'm sure traffic (and load times) will be back to normal once someone who plays sports does something interesting.
Update: For those of you who have shown up here looking for these pictures, they are here and here. Enjoy! Tell your friends! Masturbate! Vomit! Sigh...
Hi all. Beet here. I changed our commenting software to Haloscan last night, and this should make commenting much easier, especially for those of you who are not registered with Blogger. So quit lurking and say hello to us! We love your adoring praise, your blind, hateful criticism and, of course, your spam.
Email me at evilbeet@gmail.com if you are having problems using the new comments.
Kisses,
Evil Beet
Hi there.
I've been asked to write up a short intro to explain who I am and what exactly I think I'm doing here. What I'm doing here is easy, I is a writer. I've lurked in the shadows of the EvilBeet world for a long time, watching EvilB and EvilT frolic and play in the Evil meadow. Finally, one glorious day EvilBeet said to me "If you keep staring at us I'll call the cops." I explained to her how much I loved the site and she offered to let me join in. How could I pass up this offer? My only reservation was the fact that I am a JustoGuar and had to click off certain entries with a disgusted sigh at the non-believers.
Now, who am I? Well, I grew up predominately in Boca Raton, Florida, home of the mercilessly elderly (though we do in fact have fantastic delis). I have a mom and I used to watch My Two Dads and I don't really want to hear any guff about Boca because I left there a decade ago with only my wits to support me. I enjoy rotini pasta. I'm qualified because I have no small amount of self loathing, indeed when I pass a mirror I generally get the feeling that something has gone drastically wrong. I hope I can entertain you despite my obvious flaws. Like a nymphomaniac's support group you should stick with me just in case a HELL of a lot of fun breaks out.
Finally, if you're one of those people I owe money to you can burn in hell.
Yours,
Spiteful Lars
The Beet is so, so excited to welcome a darling new boy to our little family. Spiteful Lars made his entrance to our world on November 13, 2006. Everyone is healthy and very happy. So far, he and Evil T are playing nicely together, and T is psyched to have a brother around the house. We are looking forward to many wonderful memories together.
Everyone please welcome Lars as he finds his footing in this mess we call a celeb gossip blog. Try to be nice (Justin Guarini fans, this means you). We're psyched to have him on board, as we sorely need some testosterone around these parts. No, not those parts, perv.
Hi all! Quick note from management. First, thanks to everyone who comes by this site each day to check out what's new and hot in celeb gossip. You guys rock!!!
Secondly, I've begun writing the celeb gossip blog for Film.com. It is an awesome site, with all sorts of cool info on movies, TV, DVD and celebs, written by some of the best bloggers in the blogosphere (tooting my own horn a bit, I suppose). Don't worry -- I'll still be here writing on The Beet every day, but if you want more Evil Beet scoop with less Evil Beet swearing (or if your grandma does), be sure to check out Film.com.
Thanks!
- The Beet
