Many people follow the latest Brad and Angelina news and if you could yourself as one of them: you are part of a very large crowd. Our society simply loves celebrity gossip. We love to know the innermost details of celebrities’ lives. What they do in their personal time, what they wear, what they eat and even quotes they say about very everyday things become real news items.
Celebrities become a real part of our lives. When you follow a favorite television star or movie actor: you wind up watching their shows or films. It often seems as if they are part of your daily life. Therefore, it would be very natural to think that what they do would be of great interest to you. Human beings by nature are very curious and often wonder what makes other people “tick” and act the way they do.
A top reason to love celebrity gossip is that often we see celebrities deal with situations that mirror our own personal lives. When Kristie Alley went public with her weight loss struggles, she gained many more fans who watched her get slim and successfully take those pounds off. Both women and men can relate to someone with a weight problem. It can be quite appealing to watch someone who has been very successful that is struggling with something that you are struggling with as well. It gives you a real “me too” feeling that makes you want to watch this celebrity even more. It also makes these celebrities seem more real to live and less evasive to real people.
Another popular reason to follow celebrity gossip is often this can be a “safe” way for many people to gossip in their personal lives. Some people just love to gossip, but they know if they talk about their neighbors or coworkers that it is likely to get them in trouble if these people find out. However, Jennifer Lopez is unlikely to find out that you feel she spent too much money on her wedding! Gossiping about celebrities can be a way to socialize and have fun with friends. Many friends follow the same television programs and movie actors. Often when you have a great celebrity gossip tidbit, they are excited and thrilled to hear this juicy piece of news.
Many people also like celebrity gossip because it is very glamorous. Celebrities spend money the way water flows down the sink drain. They have three thousand dollar handbags and diamond studded cell phones. Their dogs have real jewelry. They rent private islands for family vacations. When you hear a piece of celebrity gossip, it is usually filled with glamor, intrigue and involves spending more money than most of us will ever see. Many celebrities lead glamorous and exciting lives. Talking about these celebrities can be exciting and thinking about what they do is a great way to daydream about such a glamorous lifestyle. While most of us will never live this type of lifestyle, we certainly can talk about it through the tales of celebrity gossip.
Following celebrity gossip can fun and entertaining. Sometimes it is fun and other times it can be a little shocking. Celebrity gossip is lots of fun to share at the water cooler at work or with the girls while getting a manicure!

Local Blogs Earn Big Money
By Bill Miller
I’ve said it before, as have others, that local search will be the hot niche of the future. If you’re looking for a niche that you can dominate rather quickly and become an expert others will seek out, look into your local area.
I’m constantly amazed at people who are searching for the latest hot niche to jump into. Many times it’s right in their own hometown or region and they never realize it until someone else takes it.
The reason local blogging is so hot and getting hotter right now is the same reason search engines blasted off at their beginning.
People want information and they want it yesterday.
They also prefer that information come from a trusted source. And who not to trust but a knowledgeable blogger who blogs about their community. Surely there aren’t many people with more knowledge than this guy/gal who blogs about their town?
Local bloggers can connect with local searchers without ever meeting them. Take restaurant reviews for example. Have you ever read a review you agreed with? Perhaps it was a good review of Bob’s Burgers on the out skirts of town. You love Bob’s Burgers and you agree with the review. You’ve instantly judged that writer in your mind.
The sky is nearly the limit on how you choose to set up your blog on your local community. I’ve seen some blogs that had forums and business directories while others just blog on local events and people. It’s up to you how far you want to go.
Your largest source of income though will likely be from local advertisers. You’ll probably have to sell some adspace on your blog to begin with, but after a few months if you continue to grow, the advertisers will be seeking you out.
Start by making a list of some of the top business’s in your area. You then send them all a sales letter along with a business card telling them about your blog and how they could increase business by advertising on it. Don’t send EMAIL!
If you live in a small town, then widen out the scope of your blog. Blog about your County or Region. Don’t go getting too large though or you’ll risk having a blog that is vague and hard to rank for any specific keyword. Remember, this is a niche! Start off with your town and work your way out and you should start too see your income go up. Just remember, provide a great service to your community and they’ll support you.

The 2008 Elections: Will You Get Exactly What You Wish For?
By John DeJong
Back in 2006 the Democrat Party and their Mainstream Media sponsors initiated an ad campaign that rightfully exposed those Republicans who were abusing their power. The Republicans who had seized control of both Houses in 1994 by promising Conservatism had reneged on their, “Contract with America”. Of course they were aided by a White House that had misplaced the veto-pen and replaced it with a rubber stamp.
What made the Democrat landslide so easy was that just about all of their candidates ran under the guise of being Conservatives. They made promises to end ear-mark corruption, raise consumer confidence, lower fuel prices, help provide affordable housing for all Americans, and create a bi-partisan spirit of unity within both houses. These were all the things Americans wished for and the Democrats promised to change the nation.
Since the Democrats took back control in January 2007 (in less than two years) we have witnessed consumer confidence fall from a record high. Gasoline prices have risen from $2.19 per gallon to just over $4.00. The unemployment rate has risen from 4.5% to 5.5% and the Dow has dropped from a record of 14,000 down to 11,300 and still dropping. That represents a $2.5 TRILLION loss in mutual funds, stocks and bonds that many Americans were counting on for their retirement incomes. The homeowners in the USA have watched in horror as home equity has suffered a $12 TRILLION drop and 1-3% of all homes were forced into foreclosure.
Do not forget that corruption is running rampant in both houses including both parties. There are just so many charges and allegations, and way too many players to even begin to try and mention here. This unbelievable corruption is about the only thing that’s happening in congress in the spirit of true bi-partisanship.
In essence, where it took ten years for the Republicans to become drunk on their power, the Democrats took control by opening a Frat Party on day one and they have been “beer-funneling” in a Mosh Pit ever since.
To our horror the lunatics have gotten control of both asylums (Houses) and now are looking to take control of the administration building by promising more changes with the omnipotent being called, Barack Obama, the “Lord of Fix-A-Flat”.
The Democrats are so invested in winning the, “Trifecta of Power” that they made the unusual blunder of forcing this untested novice down the throats of their party members. You see, Senator Barack Obama has as much right as being the DNC Presidential Candidate as that of Paris Hilton becoming the Secretary of Education.
If you have seen Ms Hilton’s recent political ad you might actually think that she sounded highly intelligent reading from a studied teleprompter script. Of course that is until you talk to her or see any of her other numerous “bimbo” videos on the net.
I believe that all this ad proves is that even a dimwit can appear intelligent while reading from a teleprompter. This wholeheartedly confirms what many of us are saying about Senator Obama. Once off the teleprompter script, he becomes a clueless lap dog for the powers that are now controlling the Democrat Party.
If you haven’t noticed it, Senator Obama cannot intelligently string together a coherent response to any question that has not been scripted out for him. In all honesty, some of his responses would make Miss Teen South Carolina look sharp as a tack. As an example chum-up his infamous “Breathalyzer-Inhalator” ad-libs. That is a classic example of what I humorously call a real winning response.
His inability to coherently speak off-script is the primary reason why Senator Obama absolutely refuses to debate on Fox News. He and his controllers know that many more people watch and trust Fox News than any of the other networks that are promoting his campaign. In truth, his handlers know that Fox News will ask the hard questions none of his other network promoters will ask and they do not want the nation seeing his garbling and incoherent responses.
Of course his MSM sponsors would likely attempt to cover his ineptitude by relentlessly exposing Fox News as a Conservative attack dog racially bashing the poor man, but the damage would already be done. Even Senator Obama, his handlers and his MSM bodyguards realize that even spin cannot erase any idiotic ad-lib responses he botches out. Thus he must stay in hiding from Fox News.
If you think about it, how would a “President Obama” react to facing a clear and present nuclear danger if he’s so terrified of just facing Fox News moderators? Would he run away and hide as the United States goes up in flames? How would his MSM affiliates spin the nation burning to the ground?
With that in mind, maybe we ought to dub the entire 2008 Presidential Elections as the “Do-Over Race”. That is because since Obama became more scrutinized after the earlier primaries, Senator Hillary Clinton has beaten him to a pulp. It is a fact that if the DNC were to run a “do-over” Senator Obama would be lucky if he could finish third behind Clinton and John “Love-Child” Edwards.
It is looking more and more like the DNC is suffering from buyer’s remorse now that Senator Obama has been exposed to be the political hack that he has always been. Perhaps they’re even regretting stealing those Florida and Michigan delegates from Senator Clinton so that he could clinch the nomination. That spoke so much for their mantra of every vote counting.
Yet you just know that it was nothing unusual for the Democrats to try and steal an election. The entire history of the Democrat Party is littered with election irregularities and fraud. The only difference is that now they got what they wished for. Truly, that is a change you can believe in.
