Although they don’t have the 10 million views they once had, millions of people still watch the Kardashians’ every move.

Wyatt Cenac has even called them the closest thing America has to a royal family. During these times of political turmoil, a New York Times essay even advocated reading celebrity gossip and celebrity websites to stay sane.

As Instagram reaches nearly a billion members, there are more ways than ever to follow our favorite celebrities. But everything we see on social media is never the full story. Reading celebrity news and gossip sites enable us to read between the lines and see what our favorite famous or infamous personalities are up to.

There are dozens of major celebrity gossip websites that people go to for learning about celebs. These three are the best celebrity websites to keep you entertained and informed.

1. ONTD

If you’re not reading Oh No They Didn’t, you’re way behind. You’ll get a wide variety of celebrity gossip and important news about music and entertainment here.

They’ve got the hook-up on in-depth articles about what celebrities are up to and even what great games are coming out.

You can get information here before it shows up anywhere else. ONTD employs some of the best celebrity gossip columnists who have their finger on the pulse of Hollywood and beyond. If you love celebrity news, this is your one-stop shop.

2. TMZ

TMZ has been a powerhouse in the celebrity news industry for at least a decade. Short for Thirty Mile Zone, their reporters are great at stalking celebrities and getting the latest dirt about all of them.

They know everything about celebrities from their love life to who makes their fabulous accessories. This is similar to celebrity sites like Elfann.

They pride themselves on breaking new information first. Celebrities will even go to TMZ with exclusives to get ahead of other gossip columnists. When someone famous wants to break up with another famous person, they go to TMZ first to make sure they can control the narrative.

3. Perez Hilton

Perez of Perez Hilton has been dishing on celebrities for years. He’s legendary for not only breaking news but being able to see between the lines and call out BS when he sees it.

His tabloid news gives you all the good stuff, like which couple was fighting at which hot NYC bar this weekend or who might be cheating on their spouse. Celebrities beware: he’s usually right.

Celebrity Websites Are Meant To Entertain

While there can be some mean-spirited posts, they’re often only about mean-spirited people. Typically these sites just allow us a way to check out of our own drama and plug into someone else’s. It can be nice to find out other people are as screwed up as us.

As you can see at the top, my header for Thrifty Momma Ramblings is finally complete! My wonderful and talented hubby drew the lady for me, and I painted her in Photoshop last night and this morning. I had her in a blue dress, but it reminded me too much of a maid or a waitress as hubby commented. I recolored her dress this morning in a pink which matches the blog colors. It’s a little bright, but hey it’s completed. It’s not perfect, but it only cost me $120 for the Photoshop program off Amazon. I purchased the student version plus I had a discount from Amazon. I will need it for class I’m taking soon for school. I am really learning a lot by looking for tutorials online.

I did get many quotes from other designers, and I would have easily paid $150+ for what I did myself. Luckily my husband has artistic talent otherwise I would have paid someone else. It was a pain learning how to color it in photoshop, but I am much more comfortable using this program. I always wanted to be a graphic designer, but now I think I’ll pass on that dream. I am very proud of how it turned out overall, and will probably tweak it some more later. Now I need to work on my background, but that will have to wait until my spring break. I have 2 papers to write for next week, study for my exam tomorrow, and take another exam next week. Whew! I was having way more fun designing my blog header. I just wanted to do a quick update.

My new slogan is: cuz paying full price is for suckers! I wanted something catchy and different with a bit of humor.

What do you think of the new logo?

I finally took the plunge, and will be moving  my blog Thrifty Momma Ramblings to WordPress this week. I am so excited and nervous about the move. It will take me a few days to have the blog designed the way I like it. You might see the blog design change a bit this week into week. I am having it professionally moved as it’s a big undertaking. I just do not know enough about coding and such to move the blog myself without screwing something up and stressing myself out. I found a wonderful service that will do it for me plus set it all up for me for a very low price.

Once the move is complete, then I will let everyone in on the great service I found. I will be very busy for the next few days, and my next post will be on my brand new shiny site! I just wanted to update you guys as I’m not leaving, but just moving to make the blog better than ever. I have a great giveaway scheduled for the end of the week that you won’t want to miss.

What do you write about when you have a sinus infection? You write about how sick you are, and how you have nothing to write about today. At least I’m filling up some space, and technically it’s a post. I apologize but I’m really at a loss on what to post today. My head feels like someone is pounding on it with a hammer, and I can’t breathe. I look really cute right now with a tissue hanging out my nose. My husband always gets a chuckle. I might try to start a fashion trend. Do you think it will catch on?

Now I have my post written for today so please comment if you think whether or not tissues hanging out your nose will be seen on the runways this spring. Or you might be like me and not care what is fashionable but comfortable. I’m not a stick so those clothes won’t look good on me regardless. You can comment on that as well. I don’t really care as I’m going back to bed, and calling in sick today!
