Celebrity Gossip of the 21^st Century
By Kim Ip, Staff Writer

Perez Hilton is My Homeboy

Perezhilton.com is a celebrity gossip sight managed by Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr. a.k.a. Perez Hilton. Named after his favorite heiress Paris Hilton, this biased blogger is the self proclaimed “Queen of all Media” and loves to be seen with A list celebrities. Perez posts unflattering pictures with doodles and captions to add humor to the seemingly perfect celebrities. Perez claims to have had 3.97 million viewers on his site in a 24 hr. period. While most of his blogs are pure rumors, he was the first to claim Lance Bass was gay and printed pictures from Suri Cruise’s Vanity Fair issue before it was produced to the public. This site is ****  four stars because no other site has as many posts a day of celebrities doing humiliating things such as Brittney Spears falling over wasted for the 1000^th time. 

Pink is IN

 Trent of Pinkisthenewblog.com is about a guy who parties with the celebrities and is obsessed with the show Heroes. This site is more like a public journal recapping what celebrities did that day and every Monday night he does a recap of what happened on Heroes. This is a good read if you don’t mind not having as many pictures of celebrities and longer reads, each post is about a page long. This site gets ** two stars because Trent uses small print and hardly ever has pictures.  

The CNN of Celebrity Gossip

Tmz.com is a sight hosted by aol.com and is a fact based site about celebrities with “problems.” It was the first site with information on Anna Nicole Smith’s death and the only site that had procured her written prescription for methadone. This site has juicy details on Anna’s death and likes to compare different celebrity babies and pick the cutest ones. This site is usually more trustworthy then other celebrity gossip sites, but gets *** stars because the site can get boring. 

Ur Ugly. Well Ur SUPERFICIAL

Thesuperficial.com is slow to post and always the last to know. BUT if you love seeing tons of pictures of different celebrities go here. This is the site that had five different pictures of Tara Reid tripping over her own Manolo Blahniks at different angles. This site also had obscure pictures of celebrities doing normal things such as Mischa Barton pumping gas or the not so normal, like Ashley Olson parading around in her underwear in Mexico. This site gets *** stars because pictures are a worth a thousand words. =]

            Out of all of these sites my personal favorite is Perezhilton.com because of his artistic work on all of his celebrity photos. He uploads new pictures and gossip on a daily basis. Despite all of his opinions being overly biased I prefer his work above the rest.
