Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima and her husband, pro basketball player Marko Jaric are the proud parents of a baby girl named Valentina Lima Jaric.

The notoriously virginal until married model gave birth on Sunday, which is nine months and one day after her Valentine’s Day wedding.  No word on the baby’s stats such has length or weight, but rumor has it that Adriana should be weighing in at her normal 101.2 lbs. by the first of the month.

Congrats to the happy couple on their new family addition!


Lindsay Lohan Is Handed Bill To Pay, Doesn’t Know What To Do

Oh, Lindsay.  Stupid, stupid little powder nose Lindsay.  When will you learn?  You really just aren’t relevant enough anymore to be acting like an A-lister.  Hell, another six months and you’ll be lucky to get a guest spot on celebrity Extreme Home Makeover.  (Linds, stop huffing the house paint!)

We all know that LL has a penchant for taking things that aren’t hers.  Jewels and fur coats and people’s hard-earned sobriety all disappear in the wake of Lindsay.  On November 6th, the “actress” was drinking at Crown Bar in L.A. and threw a bitchfit when asked to pay for her drinks.

It all started when she stormed, uninvited, into the kitchen to help herself to two bottles of very expensive champagne.  She and a friend finished them off and then were presented with a bill.  Lohan started making a scene.  A source who witnessed the mayhem at 2:30 a.m. said  ”She was yelling at him and screaming profanities at everyone. The bar insisted she pay, so she had to call a friend with her credit-card information.  She was crying and wanted to go home. She kept saying ‘I don’t pay for drinks! This is ridiculous! I’m freaking out!’ ”

God, I know lots of celebs have a sense of entitlement, but can you imagine just going where you want, when you want and not bringing any money because you’re just that sure that your food/drink will be comped?  Truly, Lindsay, you need to get a job so you can pay your bar tabs.  A really well-paying job, I might add.


Motherhood Made Brooke Shields Want to Kill Herself

Brooke Shields has been pretty open about her struggles with severe depression following the birth of her children.  She wrote the book Down Came The Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression, fought publicly with Tom Cruise and appeared Sunday night at the Hope for Depression Research Foundation in New York City.

Shields spoke candidly about that time in 2003 and just how close she came to ending it all:

“We think and we feel that we should just be able to handle it on our own,” said the actress, who is mom to two girls, Rowan, 6, and Grier, 3. “I’ve always been strong enough to get through every single difficult situation in my life. I grew up in an addictive household. My mother [Teri] had acute alcoholism. It’s in my blood. I was never going to be the one to succumb to it.”

After a miscarriage and seven IVF attempts, she gave birth to daughter Rowan in 2003 with her husband, TV writer Chris Henchy. “I finally had a healthy beautiful baby girl and I couldn’t look at her,” she said of the depression she felt. “I couldn’t hold her and I couldn’t sing to her and I couldn’t smile at her … All I wanted to do was disappear and die.”

In her deepest moments of despair she said, that the disease led her to believe, “I should not exist. The baby would be better off without me. Life was never going to get better – so I better just go.”

Brooke went to her doctor and ended up on meds.  Like many depressed people, she then decided that she didn’t need medication and stopped taking it.  It was a mistake that led to “the week I almost did not resist driving my car straight into a wall on the side of the freeway.  My baby was in the back seat and that even pissed me off because I thought she’s even ruining this for me. I just wanted to drive into the wall and my friend stayed on the phone with me and made me safely get home.”

After more talks with her doctor, the actress was able to realize that she had a true chemical imbalance that needed to be treated.  ”I learned what was going on inside my body and what was going on inside my brain.  I learned I wasn’t doing anything wrong to feel that way. That it was actually out of my control.  If I had been diagnosed with any other disease, I would have run to get help. I would have worn it like a badge … I didn’t at first – but finally I did fight. I survived.”

I applaud Brooke for throwing the cloak off the stigma surrounding mental illness that still seems to exist.  Hell, I applaud all celebrities when they use their status to help others, and I imagine that Brooke’s admissions will.

MOCA 30th Anniversary Dresses!!!

I swear, anytime an event involves an art museum, the dresses are uh-MAY-zing. It’s like being around art inspires people to look artistic. Whenever I see on the photo services that there was some manner of art event — in this case, MOCA’s 30th anniversary in LA — I just get SO EXCITED to see all the dresses. This event was no exception. Everyone — even the usually atrocious Chloe Sevigny — looked adorable and glamorous. OK, one exception: Sandra Oh, who I think was running late for her Pirates of Penzance audition.

Chaz Bono Is Boobless!!!

Oooooh, it is SO MUCH FUN to watch this change take place! I’m so happy for him! Chastity Chaz Bono, who’s in the middle of a female-to-male sex change, is at last boobless! The photogs caught him at LAX yesterday, and I have to say he’s starting to look more like a man and less like a woman trying to look like a man. What fun to get to watch this transformation!

And this has nothing to do with anything, but I’m kind of obsessing on Marc Cohn’s “Walking in Memphis” right now — did I mention I get obsessed with things easily? — and my friend MK over at Popbytes sent me this video of Chaz’s mom, Cher, doing a cover of the song, and it’s not that it’s bad or anything, but whenever she sings the phrase “walking in MemphUUUUs,” it just makes me think of Jack McFarland doing a Cher impression rather than Cher actually singing. Clip below. LOL-tastic.


Jodie Sweetin Is Sober FOREVER AND EVER Because She Wrote a Book

November 16th, 2009 by Evil Beet

I shouldn’t be mean. I’m really happy for her that she cleaned up her act and that she’s sober now and that she has the strength to put herself in the spotlight as an example of how to be sober and a mother (my dear friend Emily did the same thing last month in People magazine, and I was insanely proud of her and her courage). I just hate that she has a damn book out right now. I hate when any celebrity decides to “speak out” about a “difficult topic” because they have something to promote. And also I guess it kind of rubs me the wrong way that she’s been clean for like 11 months and all of a sudden she’s the end-all-be-all of sobriety, never to drink or smoke meth again. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Just shut up and get a few years clean, Jodie, then come back to the spotlight and tell us how you did it. We’ll still care.
