All About Celebrities

By Russell S Stewart

It is a fact that people in the limelight always make news. Whatever they do or say or even whatever they do not do or do not say all makes news.

That is why websites dealing with spicy news, gossip, interesting pictures and videos makes interesting reading and there are a great many people who read these posts and blogs in these websites.

There is one post on Katie Holmes which creates interest even though it does not really pen down what is happening. The headline is 'Katie Holmes Works, Tom and Suri Leave town,' making one wonder whether the husband and daughter are leaving town because she is working or if there has been a tiff between them. But when you read the body of the story, it tells nothing. It merely says that Katie got out of her car and headed to the theatre where she is performing a play called, 'All my sons'. The news further says that she said bye to Tom Cruise and Suri who were seen leaving their house and heading for the heliport in New York. Doesn't sound like splitsville, does it? But the headline can imply it without actually saying it.

Ali Lohan, the supermodel has been featured on the cover of the Supermodels magazine. But the post questions her right to be there and wonders who decided to take her on the cover as she is dumb, can't act, can't sing and can't even talk. It further maligns her saying that she is not good-looking and cannot possibly be a top model on her own steam but she has reached where she is just because of her sister Lindsay who was very good during her hey days. Even what she said about her family (that they are absolutely normal and not some freaks which some tabloids have called them) makes news and she has been quoted.

Actress Angelina Jolie has not been spared. In an interview with the BBC she had apparently said that she wants to call it a day and look after her large family of six kids. She is reported to have said that she wants to spend more time with her family and that she would like to be a grandmother. Nothing wrong in that. But the post further says that though Angelina has said that she is backing out of the limelight, she has not really said good bye to her career. You cannot imagine Angelina shedding her clothes and becoming a mere housewife meekly looking after her family.

This website is not only about celebrities and their news and views. There are other serious items also. Did you know that UK is finding it difficult to find enough burial space to bury its dead? That they are planning on allowing the human remains to be disturbed so that new burials can take place?

The Times is reported to have said that UK will be giving permission in the New Year for its local authorities to excavate the remains of earlier graves, bury them deeper and use the top space for fresh burials. Even the tombstone may be tampered with. There may be new names added or some stones which have faded be removed. Sounds irreverent, doesn't it?

The website is a good mixture of news and gossip where your views can also be posted. - 16651
