There are literally thousands of ways to find out what celebrities are up to: they’re peppered across the internet, the magazine rack, and television. Whatever your celebrity antics are, someone is guaranteed to know about it and capitalize on it. The real problem is picking the real news from the garbage, and unfortunately, there is a lot of garbage to go through. Sometimes it seems like celebrities come up with outrageous things to get attention or take attention away from their private lives! However, if you want the real news, there are some reputable sources.
First, define which celebrities you want to follow. Magazines generally go after the most outrageous and newsworthy celebrities, so unless you want to follow these stories, it’s best to save money. A better place to look is in the entertainment sections of online sites like MSN.com, Yahoo.com, and TMZ.com. If you’re looking to critique celebrities, opinions, and the darker side of entertainment, you should check out blogs like Perez Hilton and WWTDD.com (What Would Tyler Durdon Do?). These famous blogs showcase the worst that celebrities have to offer and also give strong opinions on the subject.
However, if you want to get more personal with the celebrity, then it’s time to get online. Most celebrities have their own website that they work on themselves or their staff work on. This is a good way to learn what they are doing. You can also follow them on Twitter, Facebook or MySpace; however, make sure that the person you are following is really your celebrity and not a fraud. This is a great way to follow your celebrity as closely as possible without actually being there.
There are a few things to keep in mind when searching for the latest celebrity news. First of all, watch out for those bloggers! Most celebrity bloggers are celebrity crushers and while this might be fun to read if you hate a celebrity, it’s not so great if you like the celebrity getting smacked. Second, the tabloids are far from the gospel, in fact; most of it is terrible, so take it all with a grain of salt. Finally, always have a discerning eye on what you are reading. Many rumor mills will only report half the truth and you will miss out on much of the story. Surprisingly, the best place to find good information about your celebrity is online, since today all celebrities have some kind of website that reports on their activities.
