Can't wait for US Weekly Wednesday every week? Do you need a celebrity news fix daily? The blogosphere has answered your prayers. Everywhere you look there are new celebrity gossip blogs popping up. One might think all these options at your fingertips is wonderful news, but it's not. Imagine you're in your cubicle at work and have just have a few minutes to troll the web for pictures of baby Suri or an update on the Jessica-Nick battle - where do you turn? Here is your guide to some great celebrity gossip blogs.

Pink Is The New Blog

Pink Is The New Blog is perhaps the best-known celebrity gossip blog. Run by Trent Vanegas, now of Los Angeles (until just recently though, Detroit of all places), Pink has been written up in Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, and Blender Magazine. A typical daily post includes the bigger celebrity news of the day accompanied by photographs. These are not regular photographs, however. Vanegas writes captions over them in pink font. The captions aren't particularly funny and I often wonder if their purpose is just to keep other bloggers from using them (which is ironic because Vanegas doesn't hold the copyright to most of them). 

At the end of the daily Pink Is the New Blog post there are links to plenty of entertainment news. This is where I believe this site really excels. While other bloggers may post just five links a day, Pink Is the New Blog often posts ten to twenty links that touch upon fun tabloid fodder. If I have one main criticism of this celebrity gossip blog it would be the unbelievable amount of spelling and grammatical errors. This is pretty much written at a fourth grade reading level, but I assume most people don't care about that. All in all, if you don't mind waiting until the middle of the afternoon for your news (posts post come in mid-day), this is a very comprehensive site that is worth reading.
