Celebrity Sites

Who hasn't seen this picture by now?

So the question on my mind on this sunny Sunday morning is - are celebrity sites worth subscribing to at all?

I've always subscribed to two schools of thought regarding celebrity sites:-

1) I've never seen anything on a celebrity site that I couldn't find with a good Google search for free.

2) The only reason you should subscribe to one is for convenience sake, meaning you don't HAVE to spend so much time searching Google. They serve as a directory, if you would.

The latter point is quite important, I feel. There's nothing on any of these sites that I've not seen before or wouldn't know where to find it elsewhere. But what I did find was that they showed me some stuff that I didn't know existed.

After a while though, there are no surprises and you certainly don't have to subscribe to more than one of these sites at any point. And with celebrity indiscretions immediately finding their way on to the internet almost immediately, I'm pretty sure these sites will die out completely after a while.
