So we've seen that there a quite a few different ways to get your celebrity stalk on. The last installment in our list of ways to track celebrities comes with celebrity news blogs. To be honest celebrity blogs aren't much different from visiting magazine pages, like People, online.
I would venture to say there are two types of celebrity news blogs: straight news and opinion blogs.
The blogs, like Pop Eater, that give straight celebrity news are those closest to magazines like People and US Magazine. They are constantly giving updates on breaking news in the celebrity world. There is very little opinion spun through the articles. Their goal is to get the news out there for the world to read.
Opinion blogs, like Perez Hilton or CelebSpin, I would say are closer to magazines like Star or Ok. The bare bones of the story are there, but more noticeably are the opinions of the writer. Sometimes the opinion only comes through in the bias of the article. But other times it's a little more noticeable.
Take these pictures for example. These are from Perez Hilton's website, where everything is dripping with his take on the issue. Most often times his opinion is first seen in the pictures he posts. Like decorating the picture with hearts, displaying his obvious love for the royal couple. Or he'll write words on the pictures, like above, letting you know he definitely doesn't agree with what this guy has said. Since these blogs are filled with opinion you can't take everything said to be the absolute truth; you have to be careful what you believe.
Celebrity blogs definitely have their place though. Sometimes it's fun to see what other people think about certain "breaking news". And if nothing else their comments, or picture captions, are just plain funny...and perhaps fascinating!
