Even political gossip? :-)

But yay, Ken Layne! I wish I could tag comments. "WE CAN HAZ REEDERS."

I hate the sawmill of degradation of gossip and I tend to opt out. I'll PM you with more, if you want, katekate.

But I agree about the hypocrisy of all the sudden MJ reverence from a pack that has been delighted to rip him apart for years. I'm particularly irked that everyone is suddenly decided to pretend all that child molestation stuff never happened. I guess the rule is: "You don't speak ill of the dead - even if they give alcohol to children and them climb into bed with them."

My problem with PH isn't "indecency" or the like. Its just that he's untalented and kind of an idiot. He's not witty or perceptive, and he never breaks any original news or gossip. He's just an embarrassment.

But you're right. I should just ignore Perez Hilton. That's good advice. It's the same advice my mom always gave me about my older brother (God, he could be such an asshole sometimes!)

 Reply

That doesn't mean Perez deserves to be read. He is a childish churlish idiot.

You and I both know, that the whole time, people were just waiting for this inevitable moment. It's not like there was really any doubt if MJ would wreck the train; the only question was how long he would keep rolling before pulling a Casey Jones.

PH? A footnote. PH is a disposable tissue, which society manufactured. They created him to wipe away the drool of the slavering masses. The ones who prey on fame and the famous, as if they were a wildebeast on the savannah, taken by hyenas in some NatGeo spectacle.

Who cares what happens to him? He chose the role...

ONTD usually has news first. There's some crap thrown in there too, but for the most part the posts are interesting and there are constant updates.

TMZ, as despicable as Levin is, is rarely wrong. The nefarious goings-on that take place between themselves and the LAPD to ensure this is disturbing, but they are effectively the only source these days that does the legwork.

I read Jezebel because it's brilliant at dissecting all the crap that gets spewed out every day and I read Gawker, like most people, because of Richard and the land of the lost mind that he has. If only the things that he writes happened in real life...

MichaelK@ Dlisted is genius, he's never mean for the sake of it and there's an actual heart in there,under all the kryptonite. And he's usually got the scoop on everyone else. AND HE'S FUNNY, NAY, HILARIOUS.

I never read People, but that's just because I'm in Europe and it ain't my go-to tbh.

But ONTD, for me, is the tits. Because it's user-generated, the angle, the take and the absolutely fucking hilarious commentary in the comments( apart from the Twilight posts and those that tend to attract the 13yrolds)can't be beat. I've seen some of the most incredible discussions take place on that site and it's fascinating to read what the target demographics for most of pop culture actually think about the stuff that's force-fed to them.

In the shorthand of ONTD, this comment would actually be TL;DR (too long, didn't read)

For the rest of you, it's just me arsing on.Anyway.

TMZ is the most reliable, as we just found out.

michael k is the king and causes me to shoot diet coke out my nose at least twice daily while laughing. mk in love with mah boo anderson and prince hot ginge. has developed his own language.

crazydaysandnights.net

deserves more readership. i often find trash here first, and the blind item coverage and reader guesses are incomparable. dude is fair to the mentally ill/addicted, unkind to paris and speidi other twats of their ilk, and posts kind behaviors, along with typical destructive egocentric behaviors (hi winona ryder!)

Hello mag

jezebel has good trash roundups, but you can avoid the editor/moderator ego, condescension, and control issues, the tween-like squeeing commenters ("OMG i LOooooOOoOOooooooOOOoVe her!!!1!"), and militantly enforced niceness (i was once smacked down for being unkind to paris hilton) by loading all the suggested links above into Google Reader. same thing.

you're welcome.
