As much as some people might not believe me, blogging really isn’t as easy as it looks. In the old days of news sites, newspapers and magazines, time wasn’t nearly as much a factor as it is in today’s world of blogging. Timing, quickness and content are all king in the world of blogging and it’s not easy to keep on top of everything. The blogs that are able to stay on top of their topics and cover them in a timely manner generally do very well.

Blogging on any topic can easily become a full time endeavour and as much as a lot of bloggers, myself included, would love to dedicate all their time to blogging, it’s just not financially feasible. So like any other blogger would, I do the best I can to stay on top of things and offer up witty, original content on a regular basis - which is sometimes easier said than done.

Running a blog takes a lot of motivation and dedication and I have nothing but respect for the bloggers of the world. For this very reason, I have decided to share the love with some of my favorite reality TV blogs. So get out there, check out these sites and show your support for the reality TV boggers out there.

Reality TV Blogs that Rock:

• TVGasm - Even though TVGasm isn’t updated as much as it used to be, it’s still a great source for original and entertaining TV related content. The writers at TVGasm clearly love what they do and have fun doing it, which is easily seen in every post on the site.
• Reality TV Magazine - With the amount of content that runs through this site you’d never guess that it’s run by only two TV addicts. The articles on Reality TV Magazine are generally short, to the point and informative, which no doubt makes it easier to push so many updates out the door everyday. Reality TV Magazine is without a doubt one of my favorite reality TV blogs.
• BuddyTV - Alright, I’m usually more a fan of the average Joe running a blog than the blogs owned by big companies, but BuddyTV is the exception to the rule. They have a ton of writers, a fantastic amount of original content and they are always able to score the best interviews in the TV world. BuddyTV is a must read for any true TV addict.
• Rickey - As much as I try to avoid American Idol now-a-days, I can’t help but read Rickey’s site. He is, without a doubt, the most dedicated American Idol fan I have ever come across and he manages to dig up every little bit of information circling the show and it’s past contestants. If you’re an American Idol fan, Rickey is definitely the site for you.

Well, there you have it, some of the best reality TV blogs online. Check them out, show your support for us poor, humble (ha!) bloggers and don’t hesitate to leave a comment. Any true blogger loves hearing what their readers have to say.

Perez Hilton & Milo Ventimiglia (Image Source: PerezHilton.com)

What can I say, I’m one of the people out there that actually likes Perez Hilton and will gladly admit to the fact. The guy gets hated on more than any other blogger I know of, but I guess that’s the price you pay for becoming one of, if not the single most successful bloggers in North America.

Perez Hilton (real name: Mario Lavandeira) has been elevated to near celebrity status through his blog and gets to meet people I could only dream of meeting. He gets invited to all the best parties, gets mass amounts of swag, makes a 6-figure income and, best of all, gets to meet some of my absolutely favorite celebrities. Just recently Perez had the distinct honor of meeting NBC Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia at one such party. Milo was hanging out, having a good time with some of his friends and agents from CAA, and apparently even Milo is a fan of Perez Hilton and a regular reader.

In case you can’t tell, this is me, being jealous.

Watch NBC Heroes Online!

The self proclaimed Queen of all Media Perez Hilton paid a visit to Howard Stern and the results were fantastic! Perez’s popularity is skyrocketing, and his chat with Howard Stern is certainly one to remember. I only wish had have been able to listen to it all live. Luckily Perez has the last 20-mins of his appearance available for listening on his website!

My favorite part comes near the very end when one of Howard Stern’s fans calls in and doesn’t seem to be to big a fan of Perez, to say the least. It’s hard to believe people so ignorant and close minded still exist on this planet, it really is unfortunate.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. One of my personal favorite’s in the celebrity blogging qord, the self proclaimed queen of all media, Perez Hilton, has been slapped with a $7.5-million lawsuit.

Perez Hilton, like the vast majority of other blogs, gets all of his images from various different sites online, one of which is X17, who just happened to be a paparazzi agency. It used to be that the guys at X17 didn’t mind if people used their pictures on blogs, and then they started to watermark all their pictures, but still allowed them to be used; however, just recently, they have changed their minds yet again, and have now decided any publicity gained from the use of their watermarked images wasn’t enough, and now they’re charging for people to make use of their pictures. Alas, there is only one problem with that situation, they’re still posting all their picture on their OWN website, for everyone to see! If you post pictures on the internet, you have to be willing to accept that fact that at one point or another, someone else is likely to make use of them. I’m afraid that’s just how it works, and as much as X17 wants to change the world in that respect, they don’t stand a chance.

The thing that gets to me the most about this entire situation is the fact that X17 and a hand full of other paparazzi agencies have banded together to pick out and target Perez Hilton alone. Hundreds, if not thousands of other blogs and sites with significant visitors use images from these agencies as well, alas, these agencies don’t see to care about those sites. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that PerezHilton.com is one of, if not the single largest celebrity gossip blog online? Perez is the face of the gossip blogging world and has been featured on just about every TV show and in just about every magazine in North America. Whether you like him or not, he’s the highest profile celebrity blogger out there, and his site sees well over 3-million unique visitors a day because of it. This past Thursday he cracked the 4-million mark and had roughly 4.4-million unique visitors. That is a huge achievement for anyone, let alone a celebrity gossip blogger!

The only reason X17 and the likes are singling our Perez is because he IS the face of the celebrity blogging world, his site DOES get the highest traffic and the free publicity garnered by suing/threatening/annoying him is substantial! My hat goes off to X17 and the other pap agencies that are going after Perez, you’re making one hell of a PR push. Funny how the paparazzi agencies suddenly develop ethics and a set of morals when PR is involved. To bad it’s not fooling anyone.

I came across this when browing through Defamer and couldn’t help but bust a gut laughing. I sent it around to a bunch of people at work as well and everyone got a kick out of it.

I can’t tell for sure if its a photoshop or the real thing, but its funny either way. The only thing that leads me to suspect photoshop is the slightly wonky “Rapist Search” text under the mugshot, but who knows, that could just be the TV stations formating.

I almost feel sorry for this guy, but not enough to not find it funny. Can you spot the similarities?

Celebrity Gossip Queen and self proclaimed queen of all media, Perez Hilton, got into it with a photographer at an XBox 360 party at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery last night.

If you’re a celebrity blogger, a gossip blogger, or you read blogs related to either topic, you have most likely heard of the Queen of all Gossip: Perez Hilton. Perez Hilton is about as famous as one can get for being a blogger and has ties to Paris Hilton (obviously his namesake) and a number of celebrities. Perez has even been featured on Canada’s answer to MTV, Much Music, on numerous occasions.

PerezHilton.com, run by gossip blogger Mario Lavandeira. is one of those sites and guys that you either love, or utterly despise. I, personally, fall into the love category. I read PerezHilton everyday and get a kick out of everything that Mario manages to dig up. Some people say he’s brash, crude and to hard on celebrities he doesn’t like. Personally, I think it’s funny. Everyone has their friends and enemies, why would it be any different for a celebrity gossip blogger, I would think it to be more so, if anything.

Like I mentioned above, you either love him, or you hate him, and those that hate him, really hate him. Some people, like the folks at FadedYouth, even spend time digging things up on him, like they did earlier this year. They managed to dig up Mario’s profile on ManHunt.net and, even though I like PerezHilton, I have to admit, it was good for a laugh.

Like any good celebrity gossip blogger, Mario is of course gay, so having a profile on ManHunt.net isn’t anything of a surprise, but the pictures on the profile, compared to current pictures, are pretty good and his write up is good for a laugh too.

My wife just got a phone call from some friends in Nebraska so I took the oppertunity to pause the movie, put down the beer and get some quick blogging in. So here it goes, lazy man style:

• Things are going so well in Iraq that US troops are now digging trenches all around Baghdad in an effort to better safe guard the city. I always thought Baghdad could use a moat. [Yahoo News]
• The Colbert Report: Senator George Allan isn’t a racist, just look at all the “ethnic” friends he has. [YouTube Video]
• NBC has decided to become one of the first major networks to offer free online streaming of many of their most popular TV shows. Yay Free! [Gizmodo]
• Everyone had the upper on your favorite pair of Converse All Stars, aka Chucks burn out before the soles? Then why not knit yourself a new pair? [Boing Boing]
• Famed fashion designer Michael Kors and the fashion industry in Spain have made a fantastic decision and are flat out refusing to hire models that are skinny to the point of grossness. Yay! Let’s see some models with some meat on their bones, please! [PR Inside]
• President Bush rebutt’s torture bill comments made by Colin Powell in the usual “nu uh! nu uh! nuh uh!” fashion. [Think Progress].
• You know when election time comes everyone and their brother releases horrible “elect me” videos, usually tearing down their opponent instead of propping themselves up? Well this is the best. election. video. ever! [Daily Kos]
• President Bush sings “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” by U2. [Break.com]
• HA! This little ditty does not surprise me at ALL. Apparently the evil Dr. Will of CBS’ hit reality TV series Big Brother All Stars is going to be the next Young & The Restless star. He totally reminds me of Joey on friends when he played the Dr on a soap opera. [Tabloid Whore]

Alright folks, that’s enough of the quick hits for now. I have a Red Stripe Beer and movie waiting for me. Hooray Beer!

I like doom.

The folks over at theblogjoint.com have put together a pretty good list of Wordpress Plugins and explenation of what each on does. Going through the list earlier today I noticed that I had most of them already, but a few that were on there I don’t have and certainly plan to get.

This is a really good list and covers all the bases of Wordpress blogging really. I’ll be grabbing a few more plugins off that list and throwing them into the mix over the weekend.

Check out their site, they could have something listed their that *gasp*, may even be usefull to you!

One of the local Vancouver Bloggers got hitched the other day and as I was reading her latest blog entry she posted the wedding vows and I certainly have to say, they had the best vows I have ever seen! Completely original and totally fun. It would have been a riot to actually see two people reciting them. Check ‘em out:

Our Vows:

i promise to love, honour and cherish you to the max.
for richer or poorer,
for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
and on all federal holidays.

in the presence of these people staring at us,
i, your name, take you, other your name,
to be my wife/husband, forever and ever, and ever,
until we die to death.

The Ring Vow:

take this off at your own peril

Check out her pictures and hear how the wedding went at her site: www.gusgreeper.com

Once again, Congrats on the wedding!
