One day, celebrity gossip pages in newspapers, such as the New York Post's "Page Six," will be seen as archaic relics. In the Internet age, there is no reason to wait a full day to get your next serving of gossip. With a wireless Internet service, you can get gossip up to the minute, or even the second, by visiting some of the hottest celebrity gossip sites on the Web.
Probably the best-known celebrity gossip site, which is really setting the pace for all of its competitors, is TMZ. With apparently impeccable sources, TMZ was able to break the news of the death of the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, before literally any other news outlet in the world. TMZ is also setting the trends for the style of journalism it pursues, relentlessly and openly hounding celebrities while maintaining an open, if not friendly, relationship with many of them. TMZ, perhaps better than many of its competitors, understands the nature of celebrity, and the fact that celebrities really need the paparazzi as much as the paparazzi needs them. Perhaps TMZ's ability to break news is due to the uneasy relationship it has with many celebrities, and while TMZ's writing is perhaps not as interesting as those of other gossip sites, in terms of raw news it remains the leader in the celebrity gossip scene.
The gossip site of Mario Lavandeira, otherwise known as "Perez Hilton," remains one of the most heavily trafficked gossip websites. This is a highly controversial, but still influential website that consists mainly of Perez Hilton's personal spin on much of Hollywood's hottest gossip. Regardless of what you think of his opinions and agenda, the fact is that Perez Hilton is still quite influential in Hollywood celebrity culture, and the website is crucial reading for anyone trying to follow the feuds and intrigues among Hollywood's insiders.
A more staid gossip website that, unlike Perez Hilton's website, tries to keep an ironic, "above it all" stance on the world of Hollywood gossip, is Gawker. Gawker is primarily focused on New York City, but is part of the Gawker Media conglomerate of several websites, including Deadspin (for sports gossip) and Defamer (for Hollywood gossip), and there is much cross-posting among the Gawker family of sites. Gawker's focus is much less on breaking news, but in providing somewhat thoughtful analyses of celebrity behavior, television programming, and our celebrity-obsessed culture. While far from being an academic study of the nature of celebrity, Gawker is a great website for people who feel a little ambiguous about their attraction to celebrity culture. There is a certain "I can't believe I'm actually reporting on this" quality to all of Gawker's writing that makes it attractive to many people for whom following celebrity gossip is just too fascinating to turn away from. Gawker too has a great mobile site perfect for viewing using wireless Internet service.
