Actors and actresses have been putting up their own web sites and celebrity blogs for sometime. While there are a lot of notable ones, some do end up pissing off the fans and other artists as they go on documenting their own fame and life. Do we allow these people to continue and glorify their own lives, or should we, the fans decide and fill in the blanks for them so they know how we feel.
Some sites are nice and pleasing to the eye while some are gaudy and well… do we go on! Stars are stars and whatever they do, they’re still stars(and humans…. too). Look at Britney, she becomes a star, falls in love, ends up with a nervous breakdown(and goes bald in the process), recovers, has children, divorces, goes to the mental home compliments of her parents, gets out, falls in love with a pap, then another guy, then suddenly stops. She comes out with an album as if nothing happened, gets up and resumes work. That’s life and these stars are human after all, they eat, drink and make bloody mistakes like all of us. Just happens they wanted to be famous that we should exploit their lives and ill-fortune. Take a look at Christian, don’t all actors go “Baleistic” from time to time, don’t they get offended when their art is interrupted and their lines are forgotten?

Britney’s Christmas Message
One tends to forget the madness of Britney‘s year (shaved head and all) when one sees the pop star’s Christmas video message on Britney’s site. With a lovely Christmas tree in the background, son on hip (who promptly burps), she actually looks incredibly well and grounded (at last). Lets hope for the childrens’ sake it lasts.
Oprah Loses The Battle of The Bulge (again)
Ever the perennial yoyo dieter, Oprah has sadly lost the battle with the bulge, tipping the scales at 200 lbs., 40 lbs heavier from her 160 lbs earlier this year.
“I’m embarrassed … I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?’ ”
The media mogul told the Associated Press before the launch of her January issue of O Magazine where she talks openly about her weight problem. Poor Oprah, with a thyroid problem and an compulsive eating disorder, she has confessed that of late, she has felt like “a fat cow”.
Brad In Gym Gear: Angelina is Turned Off!
I have to agree with Angelina here, Brad Pitt‘s peppy gym trainer character in the dark comedy Burn After Reading was probably the dishy Daddy-of-6’s least attractive role – not to mention sorely lacking in the grey cells department.
Brad joked about it as he told the press:
“She saw me in the gym gear and said, ‘This is the first time I can honestly say I’m not attracted to you whatsoever.'”
