Ooh, first! My favorite gossip blog is The Superficial.

A few of my daily's - (besides you of course)
http://www.dailyrotten.com/ = News/current events
http://cad.chp.ca.gov/ = rubberneck from the safety of your desk....
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Maps/US10/32.42.-125.-115.php = to assure myself that the tectonic plate specialists on the ole' San Andreas are really who they say they are....

Thank a lot! Now I have even MORE blogs that I MUST read everyday when I should actually be working.

I had to Google Brad Renfro :( He's probably on one of those TV shows I don't watch because I don't have cable. Also, Britney is kinda gross. I realize she may think of herself as just a regular gal, but for the love of god, plus some clothes on your baby and some shoes on.

Ah ha, someone else knows the lyrics to The Eagles songs! I would kill to see one of their concerts, well almost. Of course, I'd have to mortgage the house.

I love Pink is the New Blog.

I also check out:
I Don't Like You In That Way
(http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/index.html)

and
The Superficial
{http://www.thesuperficial.com/)

on a regular basis as well.

What can I say? I love celebrity gossip.

thesuperficial.com and gofugyourself.com are the two sites i hit every morning while waiting for coffee to brew. then, dearabby.com. yeah, i'm lame.

oh. and defamer.com; can't forget them.

Another vote for The Superficial!

Oh! so happy to see I am not the only coffee-time lowbrow out there LOL. Thank goodness!!

I like egotastic.com, too :)

Michael was amused...inside.

By the way, the link to me has to happen on the day that I'm talking about fatal mucus impaction? Really?

Yeah, I saw that, Faith. whoops. That's cool, though. Think of all the little snots you might attract...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I dig the egotastic, myself. www.egotastic.com. Also adore I Don't Like You In That Way, but somehow, it got put on the block list at work... Can't imagine why. Like the big ol' Angelina boob on the page. :)

Lauren -- the superficial got banned by the firewall at my job, yet hollywoodtuna.com still gets through LOL.

Denise and Richie?! This is big news in my world! (Sadly.) So how am I supposed to concentrate on the quarterly investment report after hearing that?!

Nancy!!! Denise and Heather used to be best friends (according to gossip blogs) (oh god, I am perpetrating the evil and vacuousness of the world, note to self: read Time Magazine cover to cover immediately) and suddenly Denise and Richuie are making out all over town, how's that!

Also, sometimes I wonder... if I did a straw poll at a local high school, you think more folks would know who K-Fed was than who the Vice President was?

At the high school DH teaches at, K-Fed would be there, Dick Cheney not so much. He did get some street when he shot that poor ol' lawyer

one I check everyday is about our local active volcano.

I LIVE for gofugyourself.com. I just can't get enough of sarcastic comments about bad fashion. Plus I get the added side benefit of being able to channel the good ol' sorority days when we would sit around and slice-and-dice...ohh...pretty much everyone. Celebs, the girls from the house next door, the girls from the house up the row. Good times, good times.

I love, love, love PerezHilton.com so funny and so not safe for work. I also second gofugyourself.com I just found that site and I really wish they would post more.

Sheesh. I thought everyone knew about that Brad Renfro thing. I'm partial to gofugyourself cuz nothing is better than celebrity gossip than celebrities in hideous outfits.

Yay for reading Daily Kos! I'm also a sucker for Cute Overload (http://cuteoverload.com/), but who isn't? And how else would I catch up on all the TV that I pretend not to watch without going to Television Without Pity (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/)? Love the snark! Love it! :)

You don't have to follow gossip to know this stuff. All you have to do is watch any of the LA newscasts. The Brad Renfro thing was all over the news, as is the Denise/Charlie divorce and the Denise/Richie/Heather triangle.

Britney Spears is white trash with money. And money can't buy class. Seriously, that poor boy has a tell-all book deal in his future.

Thanks for turning me on to Pink Is the New Blog weeks ago. My life has never been the same.
I'm waiting with baited breath for PITNB to comment on the words of confirmation from Britney's people that she's preggers again. She and I in the same week??!! I'm famous!

Laurie,

I was *shocked* to see that Denise & Heather were such good friends. Poor Heather. I used to think poor Denise, but now methinks Denise is a Homewrecker. BoooHiss. It reminds me a bit of the Liz Taylor/Debbie Reynolds thing from way back when. Google that!

Oh this is just going to be rolling around my brain in this afternoon's booooring meeting.

At least Dr. Phil has a sort of down-home appeal. Definately moreso than either of the George Bushes.

Sadly, I read ALL of the blogs listed above... and love them. Gofugyourself is the greatest! I tell myself that CNN.com and DailyKos balance them out, but really, they don't come close.

And Denise/Richie! Couldn't believe it! I went to a Bon Jovi concert just after they announced their separation and Bon Jovi shook Richie's hand on stage, like, a show of support or something, and then all this goes down! Crazy celebrities.

Well, I was thinking... if you got Dr. Phil drunk enough, or maybe you could find someway to get him to just stop talking, I mean... he is really tall. And has big hands. You know.

You wouldn't do George Sr.? From back in the day? I mean, sure, he's no Bill Clinton, but ...

hehehehehehe

I love go fug yourself. Speaking of white trash with $, Brit is pregnant...again.

Take a look at http://pinksocksandsombrero.blogspot.com/. It's the Christina Aguilera of celebrity gossip blogs: slightly dirrrty, but fun nonetheless.

And I'd do Dr. Phil. Don't be ashamed.

ha -- this reminds me of when my brother moved from LA to Boston and realized that an entire party's worth of conversation about movies and celebrities was considered abnormal! He'd gotten so used to the LA vibe that he'd forgotten you could talk about other things.

I was at a friend's party in LA once and some guy brought his new 'head shots' and 1/2 the party dropped what they were doing to gather round the kitchen table to start at the tiny proof sheets. I didn't really get it.

DUDE. I just read your blog.

And all the comments.

That pretty much covers all my 'pooter time for the day.

greeeaaaaat... just another way I have been assimilated to the los angeles borg LOL ....

I also love Pink is the New Blog! My other favorites are--
www.perezhilton.com www.richfamousandgross.blogspot.com

www.defamer.com is my favorite gossip blog. I kind of feel a little sorry for Charlie Sheen. It looks like Denise decided to throw a bunch of dirt his way to try and deflect attention from the fact she was fooling around with her best friend's almost ex.

Bwahahahaha...McTwin has forbidden me to show her any more blogs. She claims that the blogs I've already shown her eat too much of her time. But she loves you CAP, and Tomato Nation. I can easily spend a couple of hours just browsing through my flist on LJ and then checking out the other blogs on my must-read list (you're on the top of my list) before getting on to unimportant stuff, you know, like work.

There is too much gossip and potential gossip at my work place. I just tell people that I prefer to gossip about celebrities than co-workers and friends...works every time!

Please. It's y'all. The apostrophe goes where the letter was left out, yk'now?

Just one URL: thegildedmoose.blogspot.com.

Dr. Phil? Please Laurie...come visit me and let me find you someone decent to sleep with. LOL! :)
I love
http://www.wwtdd.com
A co-worker got me hooked on this.

Love "Pink is the New Blog". I'm a celebrity trash addict.

and No. I would not do Dr. Phil. He reminds me waaay too much of my Uncle Rick. Ewwwww.

I noticed y'all got less fussy as the night went on. Was it the wine? Dr. Phil, Bush ....really :)

OK, I have to admit 1) I have no clue who Brad Renfro, Denise and Richie are, and I've never watched Dr. Phil 2) my official position on gossip is that I am already hopelessly behind on my own business, thanks just the same. I can't help hoping that if we all obsessed less about celebrities' sex lives, certain subcultures would obsess less about EVERYBODY's sex lives (no, I really truly do not care if my daughter's teacher/ballet instructor/best friend's moms are gay), but that's probably foolish.

However, I would totally play that game, assuming that I knew who the celebrities were. I cannot offhand decide if Dr. Laura or W is more gross. Ewwwww.

Weren't Heather Locklear and Charlie Sheen on "Spin City" together for a short time? It's all so icky.

*sniffle*

ALL of the sites mentioned are BLOCKED at my workplace.

Good to know your children are protected from Angelina's boob...

Kim, I totally forgot that. So true.

hehehe. I don't think any sites are blocked at my job.

i *heart* dr. phil - i'd do him in a minute.

and i am SHOCKED, shocked i tell you to hear about denise and richie. is the heather locklear/david spade thing still goin' on? now HE'S creepy.

Swapping Celeb Spouses: The whole lot of 'em intermingle like baby rabbits.

HEHEHE so it's not just me reading Pink and I also read PerezHilton and Socialitelife.

I use them to supplement my People magazine addiction ;)

Guess it depends on which "a" you want to leave out. Ya all

Double YUCK to GWs. But I'd do Bill.
Not Phil, I'm sure he would yell at me. He scares me.

Celebrity Gossip: Zzzzzzzzzz......

Oops!
GW = GB

Haven't seen it mentioned here, but another fave site for gossip is thebosh.com

I think I'm the only one who clicked on comments to talk about my cats! Ah well.

Laurie - wanted you to know that you're not the only one who talks to the kitties & expects responses! Andy is part Siamese, so frankly, he has many opinions to share.

But one hazard of talking to one's cats - we talked to our daughter in the same way after she was born, only one day she ANSWERED. Totally freaked us out - it was like hearing the cats talk!

And, um, now you know why my college nickname was non sequitor. Also, I can't spell & my back hurts too much to spellcheck. Um, because spellchecking takes a lot of back strength?

No cat pictures lately, Laurie? it's been like, a week! I miss the little fuzzbuckets.
Still sending good, bacony thoughts out to Roy.

I'm with Lucia -- who the heck are you talking about? LOL

On a much more important topic - knitting - have you seen these lite up knitting needles? I'm pretty much a circular needle person but these things are wild and I can see their being really handy for knitting in the car (as a passenger) or at night in bed so I wouldn't disturb the hub... If you try them, Laurie, please let us know what you think, ok??

p.s. I'm on the east coast and have no affiliation - I just think it's a really neat idea.

I love that once again someone points out my unique little spelling of the word ya'll but ignores the 367 actual typos in my column. Such as : caryying, didentigrates, discusing, and also don't forget the fine way I typed in paparazzi.

hehehehehehehe

My husband thinks it's a riot: I only read knitting blogs. No celebrity gossip or political rants for me - show me the yarn! I read Laurie here :), and Wendy, and Susan at I'm Knitting as Fast as I Can, and Steph at Six Skeins Under, and Anmiryam at Gromit Knits.

I like Dr Phil, but not THAT much, y'all. :)

Ooh, I haven't come across Pink before - thanks!

I LOVE Pink is the New Blog! I gotta get my Tomkat, Brangelina, and Spederline updates!

:)

i'll take dr laura, but only if i get to beat her face in with a shovel. that woman irritates me.

What if G Bush slept with Dr Laura while Dr Phil talked about it???
Throw in some OCD knitting and it doesn't leave much time for work does it?

another vote for thesuperficial.com here!

Thank you for the link to Pink! I love it.

When do you have time to do laundry, get to the dry cleaner, pick up prescriptions, take out the garbage, call the landscaper, feed the cats, shave legs, call your mother, etc? I must be doing something wrong cuz Im missing too much blog reading.

Ok, so I am not into celebrity gossip but that naked Ryan P comment got me to this sight and now I am hooked!
Thanks! ;0)

I am into the celebrity gossip too.. but cannot stand Tom Cruise...love the Brangelina thing...I liked the elder Geo. Bush too... and Al Gore was a hottie when he was young... Dr. Phil nice and tall, but he talks WAY too much, would probably analyze it... KFed, what a moron... Someone mentioned Eliz Taylor/Richard Burton -- if you want to see an electric sexual attraction between two actors rent TAMING OF THE SHREW sometime, you can just see how hot they were for each other....
hugs to you and the cats!

It is quite remarkable what can be done with a piece of string (any length!) and some purple heart chewing gum. The only difference is in the amount of secondary recoil and who cares about that. Not me!

Parties in LA are much more interesting than parties in London. You get a buncha educated people here together and what do they talk about? House prices. C'mon, people. If I want to talk real estate, I'll call an estate agent.

Hey check out http://bricksandstones.blogspot.com
It's easier to read than the Pink. Less Pink, less black.. same photos...
And Laurie when you see bumper stickers that say "Screw Bush" that doesn't mean they want to SLEEP with him!

I thought "southern democrat" was an oxy-moron...

It just occured to me, those of us who are not keeping up with the Pitts, Simpsons, etc, are keeping up with one of our favorite stars, CAP.

Oh, for all your gossip needs IN ONE PLACE (including most of those mentioned above!) go to: www.wesmirch.com -- it's an aggregator (not agitator, although some people might be bothered) for gossip sites!

Defamer is great but you have to check out royalnobody.blogspot.com
