Top THAT, Oprah!

November 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet

On an episode of her talk show, airing Tuesday, Tyra Banks gives away a sex-change operation to Isis King, a transgendered woman who appeared on America’s Next Top Model. I’d like to see Oprah put that shit under everyone’s seats. Ha ha! NO PUN INTENDED!

“This is not happening!” King, who was born Darrell Walls, says when Banks introduces her to Dr. Marci Bowers, a leading gender reassignment surgeon who has experienced the surgery herself. Bowers is paying for the surgery.

“[I feel] like I’m about to wake up,” says King - who lived in a homeless shelter in Maryland before trying out for the show.

The 22-year-old hadn’t gone under the knife yet because she couldn’t afford the $20,000 to $35,000 price tag.

“It’s hard. I try not to think about it because it is something I’m really passionate about,” she says. “I feel like I really was born in the wrong body, and it’s just the one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable.”

I mean, hey, if Howard Stern can give out boob jobs and labiaplasties left and right, Tyra Banks can sure as hell give out vaginas, right?

Rock on, Ty-Ty.


Heather Locklear Finally Charged with DUI

November 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet

It took awhile, but prosecutors in Santa Barbara have charged Heather “Prettiest Mug Shot Ever” Locklear with misdemeanor driving under the influence, citing prescription drugs.

Her attorney had no comment.

Heather has been flying under the radar since her traffic stop in September led to her arrest.


Chace Crawford: Yup, Probably Straight

Here’s a cute clip of hottie Chace crashing and burning when the girls at Grazia gave him a pop fashion quiz. Any self-respecting gay man knows that Milan is one of the world’s fashion capitals.


Look Who’s Helping!

November 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet

Charlize Theron was inducted today as a UN Messenger of Peace, where she’ll focus on ending violence against women and girls around the globe.

The South African native told reporters she will take on her new responsibilities “very humbly, with a very excited heart.”

I didn’t know this about Charlize, but, apparently, at age fifteen she witnessed her mother shoot her alcoholic father to death while he was threatening the family. I can’t even imagine what a horrific and life-altering experience that must be, and it’s fantastic that she’s able to direct that energy toward such a great cause today. Hooray for Oscar-winning actresses who are also great role models. Thank you for showing that people like you exist, Charlize.


Scarlett Johansson Is Obnoxiously In Love

November 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet

You know, sometimes I ask myself, “Why do we build these celebrities up just to tear them down? To take such joy in their personal sorrows? Why do I participate in such an industry?”

And then I read this sort of bullshit from Scarlett Johansson, in a new interview with Allure, where she’s ohhhhhh so in love with her quickie hubby Ryan Reynolds — for instance, when told by the interviewer that she inspired Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” Scarlett said “That’s flattering, but my lips are kind of taken.” And then she’s all like, “I always wanted to get married and have kids. I just never had any preconceived idea about what that would be like … My life seems to be happening naturally.” And when asked how she and Ryan met, she’s like “Nobody knows. It’s private. It’s our story.” And it’s all just SO FREAKIN’ OBNOXIOUS. We get it, Scarlett. Your life is so perfect and you’re so in love and everything is wonderful and ideal and you look down your nose at us poor slobs who only wish we could have it as good and “natural” as you.

And it’s at moments like this where I’m like, “Dude, I cannot fucking wait until this relationship blows up in her face and I get to write about it.”


Jen and John: Still Going Strong

November 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet

The couple were spotted partying it up in NYC again on Thursday night, where a source says they were “nonstop, dirty-dancing machines.” Ewww. For some reason, the thought of John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston “dirty dancing” makes me cringe. Neither of them really seems like the type.

Anyway, apparently JenAn further fueled rumors that she’s preggers by refusing to drink alcohol at the club. Meh, I don’t think she’s knocked up. I think she and John are just having fun with the media.


Quotables

“I shave and groom my private areas. It’s a better presentation for me. If men require women to go through the pain, we should return the favor.”

Diddy, who tells Allure magazine that he requires any woman he dates to undergo “Brazilian waxing, leg-waxing, brow-threading, manicure and pedicure.”


Ashlee Simpson Hasn’t Given Birth Yet

November 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet

Despite the rumors all over the Internets this weekend, Ashlee Simpson is still as pregnant as ever. Pete actually phoned into the TRL finale last night to assure fans that Ashlee hadn’t gone into labor yet — although he skipped the finale, on which his band performed, which means she’s due any minute now. Although anyone with basic math skills could have figured that one out.

Poor Ashlee. I’m pretty sure she’s past her due date at this point. She must be so freakin’ ready to pop out this kid.
