“Rumor has it”, by the title I bet you can figure out the topic of my blog, rumors, but not any rumors, celebrity rumors. I decided to pick this topic because, I found it every interesting. Lately as I went about my day to day life and I noticed that a lot of people and business make a living off celebrities and their mistakes, relationship, and problems. I have learned so much about celebrities, and not just the rumors itself, I learned that they are effected by all the magazines, television specials, and pictures of them portraying a bad image. I have also learned that other celebrities feed upon it; they like to see themselves on magazines with no underwear on to sell whatever they are selling at the time. Besides the aspects of celebrities I have learned to keep up with a blog and to research and find material to write about for my audience, in a manner that I hope they can understand and relate to.
At first my blog was really pro rumors and how entertaining they were to readers like me and how humorous I found the rumors to be. I made sure I put a spin on the rumor and put in “what if” scenarios about if the rumor is true or not. However, once I got in-depth with my blog, my opinion began to change about rumors and celebrity gossip. I started to feel some compassion for these celebrities who have to walk around with disguises so you can not recognize who they are. My blog turned into a sarcastic look on paparazzi and tmz.com that records, take pictures, and writes about celebrities.
I’m really happy with the path I have chosen with this blog, and feel there is a lot I can do to improve it, one of which could be my design of the layout. Although it is good to keep it simple I would like to add some more pictures and probably a song that relates to my blog. Second I think to improve my blog, I believe I need to start advertising on some of my other websites that I am on like MySpace or Facebook.com. I would also like to improve on my writing through out this process, I have found more and more to write about and I know that this will just continue.
On a larger scale, I feel that my blog is on of few that see celebrity gossip and rumors on a different page. Yes, it is ok to report them and talk about what happened after the show, movie, video shoot, whatever; but then you are just doing what the paparazzi, magazines, and television specials do, and then you’re like everyone else. I didn’t mean to be different but that is how I came out, in a way I have changed and have a better perspective on things that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t start this blog.
Rumor has it…..Sandra just might be continuing her blog, but I guess you guys are just going to have to stay tuned.

Blog Analysis
Rumor has it is my blog about celebrity rumors and gossip also I try to put a spin on what celebrities go through with the paparazzi. Although, I believe my blog is fine for what it is, my first one, but there are things that can be improved. Searching for inspiration for a blog entry, I found three other blogs that caught my eye a while ago, and now glad I can actually talk about them.
“Gossip Girls” is also about celebrity gossip of course, being my central theme, the layout and background is something I really admire. The black and pink colors grab the attention of the reader, besides the theme. Also, the blog is not done by one person; there is a group of girls maybe like three or four of them posting entries about what they want to talk about or what they found out that day. The blogs aren’t long, actually it is similar to magazines star sightings, where you have a picture of the celebrity and what they did that week or month. Also the blog has links to other related topics which I want to do as well to show support and different genres of writing.
“Star Muscle” that talks about celebrity news, gossip, and lies, it is a humorous look at some celebrity blunders and also a compassionate take on others. The blog makes an effort to take various issues and not just report them but put an opinion on them, because of the opinion spin, it shows the reader that the creator or creators want to take the blog to another level besides gossip, which I admire because that is an interested of mine.
“The Hollywood Gossip” is especially similar to my blog, the layout is somewhat the same style while the blog entries are also moderately alike as well. The entries don’t talk about regular celebrity gossip; they are more controversial and informative on what a reader didn’t know. For example, because I don’t watch television, I did not know that actor Rob Lowe was accused of sexual harassment by two nannies. Unlike all the other celebrity blogs out there, “The Hollywood Gossip” tries to post entries most blogs with the same theme would not even think of. I admire this blog because I feel that we are trying to do similar things by staying out of the norm.
Each blog is similar to each other in many ways. Even in design where they all took a color scheme and surround it with similar colors. They all have related links to there topic and try to keep their posts updated. On that note each blog has something I admire and I hope to take each of those things and build my blog into what I want it to be. You can find all of them at these links: http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/, http://www.starmuscle.com/, http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/.

Rumors and more
Rumors Rumors Rumors....that's a word everyone knows another word everyone knows is celebrity! And that is who we as people focus on. Why do we care so much? unfortunately, i still have no answer for you. I wish i did but, not this week!
We care about who they are talking too, how the speak, and lets not start on how they look.
If a celeb., for example Lindsay Lohan, looks a bit skinny, she must have an eating disorder or even on drugs! What about poor little Mary-Kate Olsen, who likes her privacy, and dresses like a college kid, they call her a bum with money!
If anything i feel so bad for these celebrities that can't be too fat or too skinny, they can't be normal and have a bad hair day. They can't have an accident and crash there car, because in reality we all do it.
On the flip side, some celebrities take our fascinations to their advantage. The want us to take pictures of them with no underwear on because they have a new movie coming out! Or worse start a romance with their co-star, with the movie.
Whatever it maybe, however they use us, it works because we continue to see them and they continue to be successful.

Rumors on Romance
OK guys, so now the big topic lately is romance with celebrities. Its funny how we want to know wats going on in their lives, but do we take the time to think about ours. We focused on Jay-z and Beyonce's low key wedding and wonder if 50 Cent and singer Cassie are together. And lets not talk about Rihanna and Chris Brown is with matching tattoos and they are not together.....sure!
The answer to my question is basically because its interesting. Sadly to admit it like u, i envy Beyonce and Rihanna, with all the money in the world but i also feel bad for every move they make is under a microscope. After all this, I actually still envy them...maybe not as much.

Bobby has done it again
Apparently Bobby Brown in his tell all book, BLAMES Janet Jackson for his alcoholism. He reportedly says that he only drunk beer before Janet, but after there break up he began to drink hard liquor more frequently.
If this is true, I really feel bad for Janet. I mean what was she thinking, granted both was pretty young (19 and 20). Now he is trying to pull from their relationship if it was even that serious.
Bobby Brown has enough issues in his life that it is no wonder he is blaming people in his past for his mistakes.
My word of advice for him is to really focus on what he wants to do next, because he is starting to become a celebrity that we don't want to here from!

Jay and B are making my month
Beyonce and Jay-Z appear to be crazy in love with each other, crazy enough to even get married.
The "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" super music couple has reportedly obtained a marriage license in Scarsdale Village, N.Y., according to People.
A source told People the couple obtained the license, which is valid for two months, on Tuesday morning.
Patience appears to have paid off for Beyonce, who told InStyle magazine in December 2006, "You can't rush a man into anything – whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children."
Beyonce, 26, has been dating Jay-Z, 38, since 2002.

I'm so happy about this recent rumor! Ihave been pulling this couple since 2002. I feel like I am apart of the reletionship, the way the public plays out their life. All I can say is CONGRATS!! - If this is true, but I guess we will jus have to wait and see.
Naomi strikes again
Naomi Campbell was released on bail Friday after a spat with a police officer at Heathrow Airport’s troubled new Terminal 5, where one of her bags was lost.
Campbell, 37, left the airport police station just after midnight. London’s Metropolitan Police said she was released pending further inquiries and told to report to a police station in late May.
The London-born supermodel was arrested late Thursday on suspicion of assaulting an officer after police were called to a disturbance at the airport. Since Terminal 5 opened last week, more than 28,000 bags have been separated from their owners.

The London-born supermodel was arrested late Thursday on suspicion of assaulting an officer after police were called to a disturbance at the airport. Since Terminal 5 opened last week, more than 28,000 bags have been separated from their owners.
Witnesses said Campbell was aboard a British Airways plane due to depart for Los Angeles when she became involved in a dispute because one of her bags had been lost. During the dispute, Campbell allegedly spit on the officer.
Campbell’s spokeswoman, Annabel Fox, said Campbell was traveling to the U.S. to attend a memorial service and had boarded the plane when she was told one of her two checked bags was missing.
British Airways “decided to resolve this by insisting she leave the flight and then called the police to forcibly eject her,” Fox said.
Campbell has a history of assaulting assistants and employees.
In 2000, she pleaded guilty in Toronto to an assault charge for beating an assistant while making a film in 1998. Under an agreement with prosecutors, Campbell expressed remorse and was released without punishment or a criminal record.
In January 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for throwing her cell phone at her maid in a dispute over a missing pair of jeans. She was ordered to do community service and attend a two-day anger-management program.

So this isn't a rumor, the real fact is Naomi's anger problem. Last time she was in the spotlight was when she attacked her personal assistant. I'm speaking with experience with anger issues, anger mangement should definately be her probation sentence; because celebrities don't go to jail anymore. Who would we talk about?
