Editorial: Time to Pull the Plug on Celebrity Gossip - The Hollywood Gossip

Editorial: Time to Pull the Plug on Celebrity Gossip - The Hollywood Gossip:

"It is one thing to report vigorously on illegal doings by people who happen to
be well known, quite another to troll L.A. streets in hopes of catching
Hollywood gossip or non-ordinary behavior — borrowing $5 from a friend to pay
the valet — and then turn it, with commentary, rancid. It may make even the most
star-crazed among us queasy at times, but stars, for their fame, have sacrificed
the right to complain, according to Mario Lavandeira, the celebrity gossip
blogger better known as Perez Hilton."


What is happening with blogs is the same thing that happened with newspapers when they first started. They were scandalous and intrusive and biased. Sounds a lot like blogs doesn't it. The public got to the point where it had enough, and there was a backlash. The best newspapers survived the backlash, and we able to thrive. I think the same will happen with blogs.
