Part of the challenge is that the definition of celebrity has changed. All of these so called bloggers, Tik Tok stars, reality tv personalities are considered celebrities. Years ago it was a smaller group of well known people.

The coverage is diluted by including people many people have never heard of or don’t care about.

Anyone remember CityFile, a great website with juicy info on all who was whose whose in NY?

I think these days there is a culture of celebrity worship in the sense that we only are supposed to consume what their publicist put out or what they put out, anything else is an invasion of privacy, and young folks are lead to believe this is a form of social justice in a way, meaning a way to treat people with respect.

Oh, like young people are trying to respect celebrities’ privacy? Maybe the parasocial relationship made them think they were friends or it was gauche. Eh, they’ll get over that with the next recession….

Ugh. Enty's blinds are always so obviously bogus. He was really the best?

Did you see that big expose on him? He's a creep that knows nothing. He just takes gossip from other sites and makes them up

I loved D-Listed and Michael K!

The "tea threads" on the fauxmoi subreddit. Either the "does anyone have tea on" or "I have tea on" threads, which are posted every week. There's actually quite a lot of juicy gossip in there. Ignore the other posts.

I miss the old days when I knew which celebrities we should be gossiping about.

Great way of putting it, I'd be interested in hearing you expound on this a bit more. Tangential to what you said, but a lot of users online can't even tolerate it when journalists pose mild questions to celebs and perceive them as invasive. I understand that celebs get a lot of stupid questions, but they actually do get some interesting ones.

I know a website that has a lot of celebrity gossip tea, but idk if you’d really like the sites atmosphere, and if would be something your interested in.

I found out about it a few years ago, on Twitter, while searching for a celebrity. It’s pretty mean spirited, & not very helpful outside of the gossip, but there is threads dating back to the early 2000s and alot of what’s discussed doesn’t become big news.

Agree with this. TMZ will post about an influencer dying and I'm like "who's that?" A reality "star" getting a DUI and it's some person on a show I've never even heard of.
