I'd like to thank anyone who actually reads this, it makes me feel good, and I'll always put good shit on it, because who knows good better than Darrin Goodness? Anyways. I think I'm going to write about celebrity gossip. In case you don't see me on a regular basis, which probably means most of you, I'll let you know that I'm obsessed with celebrity gossip.

I usually rationalize it by claiming, "The dramas in these people's lives mirror the dramas in our own lives, so we're able to use them both as cathartic, as well as sources of inspiration."

But really it's just because we're nosy bitches! I must admit, I love love LOVE getting my hands on printed material, even though I never save any of it, and have never in my whole life spent a single cent on celebrity gossip magazines. This is ironic, because I always have a lot, and am perpetually surrounded by them. I bring them home from places all the time. I look at them while browsing in stores. They're easy to find for free, it's ridiculous to spend money on that shit, and quite frankly, it's not worth the paper it's printed on. I usually just go on the internet for my celebrity gossip, because the internet is a faster, more efficient, and in some ways more reliable source, because one is able to read multiple accounts of similar stories. Any spare second I have at work, I immediately go on the few celebrity gossip blogs that for some lucky reason, are not censored by the network. I go on:

imnotobsessed.com a lot- I love this blog! Unlike most websites, the author leaves out negative commentary, it's a nice blog to look at if you want to have fun.
icydk.com- another one that I read everyday.
popcrunch.com- I recently discovered this one, and it's really great. There's also political commentary on it.

In all honesty, all three of the aforementioned blogs all blog the same stories everyday, it's still fun to see other people's perceptions and takes on events, and well as the tone, and the way the information is presented and transmitted.

But my all time favorite, which I can not read at work, is PEREZHILTON.COM- it's basically the best one. I've had a crush on Mario for years, even when he was bigger I always thought he was hot. I think he's extremely intelligent and very inspiring. He's the only one who is an actual celebrity , living life alongside those with fame, who chooses to blog about other celebrities. He always has the breaking stories, I noticed that all the other celebrity blogs, who all promo each other with links to one another (there are SOOO many, probably more than about 70 that are constantly updated, and obviously easier to read than a paper publications (as well as being paperless, so being good for the environment as well). They basically all use Perez as a source, although they never cite it. He consistently blogs many pages of blogs per day- in many ways he is very comforting in the way an old, reliable friend is. He can make you feel good every day, I can't even begin to estimate the millions of people he entertains on a daily basis. He has come to reperezent post modernism in an ironic, queer, and insightful way.
