Five Gossip Blogs Better Than Perez Hilton

March 17th, 2007

If you can get over his smug face, flamboyantly defiant sexuality, and gaudy blog design, you still might hate the fact that Perez Hilton is incredibly popular from stealing all kinds of celebrity photographs. Unfortunately, in the gossip world Perez is king; if you watch celebrities, you read Perez.

This post aims to change that, by introducing five smoking hot gossip blogs you might not know about. They blow Perez out of the water–we don’t mean what you think that means Perez!

#1) Oh No They Didn’t!

They post a new item almost every minute. Their stories are collaboratively written by a massive host of LJers. You can’t beat popular news, especially when it’s being written and reported by the populace! Photobucket should ban them, they use so much bandwidth!

#2) Celebrity Hack

Definitely the wittiest of the celebrity blogs, CelebrityHack takes the Perez-style approach of photo mutilation to create a unique derivative work, but Celebrity Hack’s captions are actually funny, and go a lot farther than drawling drool, snot, and white powder.

#3) Kineda: Sexy!

The best designed gossip blog I’ve seen in a long time, Terry Ng’s men’s entertainment blog doesn’t post frequently, but when it does the words run together in smooth, gossipy rivulets that leave you energized and ready for more.

#4) I Don’t Like You In That Way

It’s got more ads than an hour browsing Google search results or Ebaumsworld, but I begrudgingly list it because it’s got a great community following, and tons of content. IDLYITW is also pretty original, if not commercialized.

#5) Best paparazzi pics

It’s just photo after photo of celebs at this that and the other event. Who knows where this guy gets them from, but it’s straight real, from the source!
