The Best Celebrity Gossip Websites: Perez Hilton's Blog and The Superficial

As I sit here and reflect on Anna Nicole's death, I am faced with a very disturbing fact of life. We as humans LOVE gossip. We love to read about it, listen to it and do it ourselves. Especially when it is about celebrities.

Ironically, a few days before Anna Nicole's demise, I wrote an article about celebrity death and scandal and how much the general public feeds into and holds such a hungry interest in what the media has to say as far as rumors go. It's very sand that such nasty gossip follows around people, even in death. Maybe especially in death.

There are a number of popular celebrity gossip websites out on the web right now. All of them are entertaining to read, but you must really take them with a grain of salt. Especially when reading some of the vulgar and immature comments that readers leave on the sites. Here are two of the more popular ones that I have been to.

Perez Hilton. Perez Hilton, real name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., is a very popular celebrity gossip blogger. His blog, at one point nicknamed "Hollywood's Most Hated Website" is known for showing unflattering pictures of celebrities, including little nasty captions he writes himself over the pictures. Often times an picture of a woman celebrity standing is shown with little dots drawn between the legs by Perez, which are supposed to be urine marks. The grammar and spelling on the site is not the best, and the site itself is very, very pink, but it's gossip, so no one cares. The juicier the better.
