This is a nice looking weblog with some celebrity gossip in it. The archives don’t work but are handy if you want to see what their template HTML looks like. On the other hand, the weblog has only been going three weeks anyway, so all the archives fit on to the main page.
The Blog’s URL is a subdomain of something to do with Ebay. It seemed entirely unrelated to the blog so I didn’t pursue the main site very much, but my guess is, there’s money to be made for the site owners somewhere along the line.
The site looks nice – it is black which I thought was quite sleek, clutter free and contains celebrity pictures throughout. The purple and blue text in the sidebar looks pretty as well. If I am going to have to read celebrity gossip, I guess a glare free site like this is as good a place as any.
I have no idea what the quality of the celebrity gossip is like because it is not something I am interested in. It seemed ok for the first three entries, then after that I got bored and just scanned the rest. Finding out that Britney Spears may have had zits wasn’t exactly the most meaningful piece of information I have acquired today. I currently have a zit on my chin at the moment and does anyone care? I don’t think so. Apparently the zits of a half-assed singer in America are more important than those of a humble weblog reviewer, which hardly seems fair.
Most of the information was relating to Hollywood stars, with a smattering of American sports stars and the occasional music or TV celebrity. To be honest, not being a fan of main stream culture (or living in America), I didn’t even know who half the celebrities were, let alone worry about whether they had been kissing someone else. The funniest entry was the first one. It lambastes Whoopi Goldberg for making sexual innuendos using President Bush’s name. Ok, you don’t have to be Einstein to make “Bush” a sexual reference, but apparently this shouldn’t be done because “This is the highest office in our land and the leader of the free world and no matter what you are to show it respect.” I guess insightful political commentary isn’t their strong point.
I guess if you like celebrity gossip, you could go out and by “Heat” magazine and be done with it (if you live in the UK that is – I am sure there are many equivalents in the US). I guess this site may have something extra to offer above and beyond the tabloid gossip columns, but I am rather doubtful in its present form.Scandal Snoops
