Perez Hilton's Juicy Gossip

The purpose of this review is to show readers there is a certain amount of devotion that goes into reporting the entertainment business...even if it is borderline stalking. Don't judge me. I am not always on this site, I just chose it because I thought no one else would do it.

For someone with completely no life, Perez Hilton is doing well for himself by virtually stalking today’s celebrities and finding out juicy gossip about them. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been on the site once or twice...or a hundred times because along with information on my favourite celebrities, it also has the latest news about other things such as movies, television shows, and politics. Despite his satirical comments and constant bashing of those he does not like, Perez proves to have a lot of information on just one website. The layout of the site, especially the header, is very eye catching and immediately attracts viewers to scroll down the page and see what it has to offer. For example, not only does it talk about Tom Cruise coming out of hiding, Katie Holmes supposed brainwashing and Madonna’s new album; it also talks about the about the swine flu, broadcasted on every television and radio, leaving nobodies ears untouched. The somewhat controversial debate between Miss. California and the gay population is one of Perez’s favourite topics, not to mention making fun of Sara Palin... continuously.

On the left side of the page is a convenient search engine that helps the reader locate who and what they want read about without all the hassle of scrolling through page after page. In the center of the first page there is a small box labelled ‘most emailed’ and ‘most commented’. This is an easier way of seeing what the most popular news of the week is. And let me tell you, Perez Hilton is always on the ball. His page is never tainted with old news; there is always a new picture of a grotesque looking Amy Winehouse or a never before seen poster of the latest fad...Twilight.

The main thing that takes away from the site is the never ending advertisements on each side of the page. On one side there could be an ad for fast and easy weight loss and on the other, a promotional poster for Matthew McConaughey’s new movie. All in all, the site is primarily for those devoted to entertainment news. So, if there are any aspiring entertainment journalists out there, I definitely recommend they take the time to look at this page and see the commitment it really takes to pursue this as a full time career.
