Amy Winehouse Was Adopting a 10-Year-Old When She Died

Maureen O'Connor · 08/01/11 10:32AM

This little girl says Amy Winehouse was trying to adopt her. Miley Cyrus gets a gay marriage tattoo. Kellan Lutz still has candy from 2003, and eats it regularly. Kim Kardashian's fans freak her out. Monday gossip pulls an Angelina.

Cowboys and Aliens Shamefully Defeated by Small Blue People

Richard Lawson · 08/01/11 10:25AM

This was a weekend of strange creatures warring with each other and, though they don't seem remotely evenly matched, they actually kind of are! Also, Miranda July has done well for herself, as has Emma Stone.

Which Infertile Actress Is Sick of People Wanting Her to Be Pregnant?

Brian Moylan · 08/01/11 10:10AM

This A-lister wishes people would stop speculating about her "baby bump," since she's having a hard time conceiving. Also today: bisexual actresses gone haywire, another on-set romance, and an actress in peril. No, she's not pregnant out of wedlock.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Regret Being Assholes

Jeff Neumann · 08/01/11 01:09AM

You've probably wondered what happened to Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from The Hills, haven't you? Well, The Daily Beast caught up with the two, who are now broke and living at Spencer's parents' house in Santa Barbara. Theirs is a sad, cautionary tale of two kids who get filthy rich for no real reason, act like complete assholes on television, and then regret everything when the money dries up.

No Planned 9/11 Anniversary Specials, Says JetBlue

Seth Abramovitch · 07/31/11 10:39PM

Corporate Twits is an internet jokester whose shtick is to send prank tweets to corporate Twitter accounts, then post their responses to his Tumblr. Usually, they are very friendly and apologetic (like this exchange between Applebees and a supposedly obese woman who was reserved service). But a bad-taste tweet to JetBlue about 9/11 anniversary specials went a little too far in the friendly direction, earning a bizarrely sincere response from the airline. So, stay posted, I guess?

Kings of Leon Frontman Isn't As Think As You Drunk He Is

Seth Abramovitch · 07/31/11 08:24PM

"I'm gonna go back stage for a second, I'm gonna vomit, I'm gonna drink a beer and I'm gonna come back out and play three more songs." And that's how Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill cut short their Friday appearance in Dallas just halfway through their set, leading his band members/kin to apologize profusely to the crowd (video of the apology here). Was he drunk? He claimed not, saying it was the extreme heat at the Gexa Energy Pavilion — where apparently very little energy is expended on air conditioning — that shot his voice. But tweets from the other guys in the band told a different story, including one from Caleb's brother, bassist Jared Followhill, that read: "Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words."

It's Nude Bathers Vs. Uniformed Officers On San Diego Beaches

Seth Abramovitch · 07/31/11 07:48PM

San Diego's San Onofre State Beach has long been a mecca for nudists looking for a genital-scorching day by the sea. But state park rangers have been cracking down on them lately, and the Camp Pendleton Marines Corps that leases the land to the state — and uses the neighboring Gold's Beach to train recruits in amphibious assault — has found itself dragged into the dispute, the LA Times reports.

Man Seeks Justice After Bloody Band-Aid Pizza Encounter

Lauri Apple · 07/31/11 02:30PM

Perhaps the only thing worse than discovering spiders hiding in your Domino's pizza is biting down on your Pizza Hut pizza and finding a Band-Aid caked with dried blood in your mouth. Of course, the latter could never happen, right?

Hamburger Meat Spoils Drug Deal

Lauri Apple · 07/31/11 12:51PM

The vegan philosopher Morrissey tells us that "meat is murder," and for our vegetarian purposes he's correct. But murder is also murder, which is why you can't shoot your drug dealer even if he brazenly gives you hamburger instead of weed.

Your Eight-Year-Old Son Is Not a Good Choice for Designated Driver

Max Read · 07/31/11 12:00PM

There are so many reasons to have kids! One of the not-great reasons is the best is probably "so you have someone to drive when you're wasted." Like Billy Joe Madden, who slept off a bender while his 8-year-old son drove his truck. On a highway. From Mississippi to Dallas.

Man Sues Hilton for Tricking Him Into Reading USA Today

Lauri Apple · 07/31/11 11:54AM

If Hilton hotel guest Rodney Harmon had known that the USA Today left by hotel staff outside his door wasn't free, he wouldn't have read it. But he did read it, and the hotel charged him the 75-cent fee, so now Harmon's suing Hilton hotels in federal court.
