Top Five Celebrity Blogs
The Best Places to Get Your Celebrity Gossip Fix
If the current status of Brangelina, TomKat, and Britney Spear's real-life soap opera life runs through your head at least once per day, then you may be addicted to celebrity blogs. Fear not, you're not the only one! This article will tell you the top five places on the Web that you can find out about Nicole Richie and Ashlee Simpson so you can sleep better at night . . .
OH NO THEY DIDN’T – This website is updated at least twenty times a day by LiveJournal users who get their info from other websites, magazines, newspapers, and other press. In addition, they get anonymous tips and exclusives that are very delicious. ONTD is unbiased, usually fair and is moderated by a handful of people to ensure proper sources. Half the fun is reading the user comments and getting familiar with the acronyms ("BB" = “baby”, "IAWTC" = “I agree with that completely” and "FTW" = “For the Win”, to name a few). It's definitely the most democratic of all the celebrity blogs. It's also refreshing because it's not about the blogger (because there isn't one). Oprah lists it as one of her fave guilty pleasures and sometime last year some anonymous person purchased the url permanently and guess who everyone thinks did it? No joke.
PEREZ HILTON – If you don’t enjoy mean-spiritedness, you will not enjoy this blog. Perez is extremely biased. Everyone knows who and what Perez Hilton is, for better or worse. He is a celebrity blogger who has crossed the line and become a C-rated celebrity himself. Perez does have many contacts and exclusives, but sifting through all the other nonsense and hoopla on his blog about proves difficult for most. This blog is definitely not going to give you the whole unbiased scoop on a subject, but it is hard to include any top celebrity blog list without Perez Hilton.
PINK IS THE NEW BLOG – Trent, the blogger, is way kinder and less controversial than Perez. He posts the story without bias before adding his opinion in a little blurb at the end of each post. While Trent posts far more about his personal life than Perez, he still does not come off as self-centered like Perez.. You won’t find exclusive material or even a lot of material there, but you can certainly get in-depth information about the interesting pieces he does post.
JUST JARED – This site has lots and lots of pictures of celebrities. JustJared is a site to go to when you want to see tons of photos celebrities doing everyday tasks. JJ has had a few exclusives, but is definitely not as high profile as Perez Hilton.
TMZ - This website is probably the most visited celebrity blog by people who don’t read celebrity blogs. The blog has odd and often offensive commentary about celebrities. Of all the sites, this is probably recognized as the most legit, since it is headed by famed celebrity lawyer Harvey Levin. This site has tons of exclusives and is less racy than the aformentioned blogs.
