WWJD: Gossip Grrrl?

Hey everyone, Jem here! Welcome back to What Would Jem Do?! It's good to be back and giving much needed advice to the public again. Unfortunately, last time I was on here my time was short and Starlight House burned down AGAIN. That makes it... 4 times now? Fortunately, none of the girl orphans I help were injured but I'm so close to banning curling irons and flat irons, its not even funny. Pink fluffy hair be damned, my dad only left me so much money and the Holograms are between contracts now. We're working on some songs though and we'll be back in the studio in no time. I think the world is ready again for some uplifting music! So, let's get to the letters, shall we?

Dear Jem

Okay I have a problem that I hate to admit. I have been reading Perez Hilton's blog for like several years. I'm talking since before he sold out... before he even met Paris Hilton... when his little vulgar scribbles were new and still funny. This was like when he was begging fans to send in their celeb pics cuz he didn't have enough content of his own. :} My fingers just automatically go to his website, and I hate myself for continuing to read his gossip. I just luv reading celeb gossip! What are better and more respectable celeb gossip site alternatives? I have avoided his site for about 2 weeks so I feel like I'm doing really well and on the road to recovery. Although I did tell my friend who still reads his site to text me if she reads anything major that I need to know. :} Is that considered cheating?

Gossip grrrl - I'm going to assume you stopped reading Perez Hilton because of his recent strings of scandals, most notably his altercation with Will.i.am? I'm not going to mince any words for this one as I'm a girl without a hair dryer at the moment and in NO MOOD. Perez is OVER. He's a blight to both the blogopshere and the gay movement. What is most painful is that I remember when his site was called PageSixSixSix (so cute) and he had so much potential. Unfortunately, Perez's massive head got even bigger and could no longer be supported by his frame and he started catering to the lowest common denominator. No amount of vulgar doodling can compare to a clever turn of a phrase. So Perez is dead to me and I will no longer provide him with cash flow generated by my online traffic. But I digress... you want a new site to get your celebrity gossip fix. Well, there's always TMZ but, quite frankly, it has no real style. If you're looking for cute and biting commentary along with your gossip then look no further than D-Listed. Its cute, clever, and funny. You can also read OMGblog and WorldofWonder which throw in some celebrity gossip along with other cute articles. Not to mention, WorldofWonder has my very dear friend, James St James. In short, you have lots of alternatives to choose from for celebrity gossip so why choose tired old Perez?

We have time for one more quick question for this week...

Dear Jem, I'm always leaving my comments in the wrong post. Am I really that stupid? How can I be more smarter??Love, MM.(the M. stand for Moron)

Dearest MM - You are not a moron, you just need to better organize your life. I suggest purchasing a blackberry to put in all your contacts and schedules in so you can let your brain focus on what's really important... the world of blogs. Also, if you get a blackberry, you can say you're BBMing and not texting. It just sounds more important! Of course, I don't need any of these things because I have Synergy. Not only does she provide me with an updated wardrobe and alter ego, she also organizes my day and comes with a 50 megapixel camera.

Glitter, fashion and fame!
