To many, a person’s reputation is everything. People have gossiped since the beginning of time. Most claim to hate gossiping, yet, according to Arina’s Self Help Blog, “66% of all human communication is gossip.” And with the rapid climb of gossip blogs, reputations are being tarnished or even completely ruined. People claim to hate it but love doing it. The following is a list of some of the worst gossip blogs on the internet, whether the stories are true or not, people love to read them and pass the word along to others.

Coming in first place, and no surprise, is the website of Perez Hilton:

PerezHilton.com has commonly been referred to as “Hollywood’s most hated website. The site was created in 2009 by author Mario Lavandeira. According to ‘The Guardian: World’s Most Powerful Blogs,’ “Mario is famous for scrawling rude things (typically doodles about drug use) over pap photos and outing closeted stars. On the day of Lindsay Lohan’s arrest for drink-driving, he posted 60 updates.” The worst part? “Eight million readers logged on to get the nitty gritty details of Lohan”-at a time when she was at her worst. 

Hilton lives for gossip and rarely, if ever, has anything positive to say about anyone in the Hollywood spotlight. Hilton has also had a reality show on VH1. Celebrities are not happy about the things he has to say and are retaliating. Also, according the ‘The Guardian,’ “Fergie from the ‘Black Eyed Peas’ alluded to him in a song, and Avril Lavigne phoned, asking him to stop writing about her after he repeatedly blogged about her lack of talent and her freakishly long arm.”

Coming in second place on our Worst Gossip Blog list is TMZ:

TMZ was launched in 2005 by AOL and has kept going with the most up to date gossip news with the help of approximately 20 writers. TMZ prides itself on being a relentless celebrity gossip site-whether the stories written are fact or fiction. Pulling in an estimated 1.6 million readers a month, ‘The Guardian’ deems “celeb activity as mundane as stars walking to their cars worthy of a video post.” In fact, “it was the first to break Alec Baldwin’s now infamous ‘rude little pig’ voicemail last April, for instance. TMZ prides itself on being close to the action, so close, in fact, a TMZ photographer had his foot run over by Britney Spears mid-meltdown. They auctioned the tyre-tracked sock on eBay in aid of US charity, the Children’s Defense Fund last autumn.” Now, here is a celebrity that was having a very hard time in her life and they are auctioning off a sock on eBay that Spears touched? It’s sad.

In third place on our Worst Gossip List we have Valleywag:

Valleywag is a Media blog site that revolves around the gossip of Silicon Valley personalities. The site was created in February of 2006 by Editor Nick Douglas, and is now run by Ryan Tate. According to the site, “it was the first to break some stories, such as the leaking of a Gene Simmons sex tape.” Still, this site gets worse. This site also broadcasts rumors and untrue gossip about people that are not even in the public eye. For example, according to the New York Times, “a college intern who falsely called in sick to work and had it publicized across the Internet by Valleywag.”

These sites are making serious money by destroying reputations. If it weren’t for the public’s attraction to gossip, these sites wouldn’t even be functioning. So what is it about gossip that is so appealing? According to Arina’s Self Help Blog, the number one reason people gossip is it acts as a bonding mechanism, “It is really simple. When two people discuss a third person, it makes them feel closer. Almost like they have committed a little crime together and now they have a secret of their own that they do not want anyone else to discover. Gossiping makes us feel ‘part of a closed club,’ by creating a strange feeling of mutual trust and bonding.” However, something for all of us to consider is this: “Do you really want to bond THAT way? Because a person who is gossiping WITH you, will most likely gossip ABOUT you the second you leave.”

Most actors and actresses on the small screen start off on TV, then end up on the big screen in Hollywood as A-Listers starring in major motion pictures.

Think about Jennifer Aniston and Will Smith, who both got a jump start to their now-flourishing acting careers in ‘Friends’ and ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air respectively. This past TV season it seems that it has been the other way around, with already established movie stars making guest appearances on TV sitcoms.

Over the past decade, there have been several guest appearances on some of TV’s hottest sitcoms, some that improved a celebrity’s or show’s rating, and then some appearances that didn’t fare as well as the show had predicted. Paste Magazine made a list of the ten best guest appearances over the past decade, and some of them are shocking.

Reality Stars Kim Kardashian, Spencer Pratt, and Heidi Montag starred in one episode of “How I Met Your Mother” in 2009. These stars, which have faced a lot of scrutiny and criticism from the press, actually did an exceptional job on the episode. They weren’t taken too seriously as they talked to Marshall about his cover in a Tabloid Magazine, something the real life reality stars can relate to.

Comedian Bob Saget also made a hilarious appearance on Entourage where he played himself, and brought a lot of added humor to the episode. Cher made an appearance on the hit show, “Will & Grace” where she sang her pop chart-topping hit, “If I Could Turn Back Time.” Viewers tuned into that episode where Cher shows she is the real deal. And who better to make a guest appearance than the world-renowned savvy entrepreneur, Oprah Winfrey?

Oprah made a guest appearance on “30 Rock” where she sits in an airplane next to a young lady as the woman complains about the problems she is having in her life, one of which is not receiving her monthly subscription to “O” Magazine. To top off the “best of the best” TV appearances, who could forget Brad Pitt guest starring on “Friends” with then-wife, Jennifer Aniston? The adoringly cute episode became a smash hit and exposed the lives of the changing celebrity culture.

And now for the worst…While Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband was a hit on her show, Aniston didn’t make the guest appearance viewers were hoping for on one of the episodes of “Cougar Town.” On www.Tv.Com, critics stated that, “the woman is so desperate for attention-and so limited in her acting range, that it’s impossible to separate the actress from the characters she plays on screen.”

Many Americans have the Bieber Fever right now. But did he really make an appearance on the show “CSI?” Bieber and CSI do not even belong in the same sentence, and when critics were asked why he was voted as one of the worst guest appearances of all-time, they responded with, “do we really need to give a reason?”

Critics felt that Sasha Grey’s appearance on Entourage was awful where she played a porn-star. Critics believe Grey is “not really known for her acting,” and for another, her appearance started “a weird and unnecessary Twitter frenzy.” The most shocking to make TV’s worst guest appearance was America’s favorite golden girl, Betty White, where she played a professor and librarian on the show, “Community and the Middle.”

Critics thought that her “giggle-inducing grandma schtick started to feel like geriatric gimmick.” Ouch Betty! Luckily for White, she still took home an Emmy for her stint on SNL, which aired right before her guest appearance on the show.

So what does the near future hold for Hollywood guest appearances? WeLoveSoaps.net is positive this will be a big year for Hollywood guest appearances on several TV series by calling the year of 2012, “The Year of the Soap!” Lindsay Lohan recently announced that she will be acting as herself as a guest star on the hit singing show, “Glee.”

But there are several other very famous celebrities that will also be hitting the small screen for an episode, or even a few. For the month of April alone, several big names will be appearing on some of TV’s hottest series. Luke Perry, former stud of the hit show “Beverly Hills 90210” will show his face on “Body of Proof.”

Georgia Engel will stand next to Ashton Kutcher in one of TV’s most popular comedies, “Two and a Half Men.” TV dramas including Criminal Minds, CSI: New York and NCIS: Los Angeles will also be seeing some famous faces including Erica Gimpel (appearing on Criminal Minds), Blake Gibbons (appearing on CSI), and Christel Khalil (appearing on NCIS: Los Angeles). Additionally, Hollywood hunk Mark Consuelos might appear on Law & Order’s, “Special Victim’s Unit,” but it has not yet been determined.

WeLoveSoaps.net might be right when they say this is the year of the soap considering the guest appearances are for this month alone! It’s going to be exciting to see what A-Listers will be making appearances, both good and bad, in the following months.

Lindsay Lohan has been on her toes lately to defend herself from report that she has been neglecting her court ordered service at a Women’s Center in Los Angeles. Online celebrity gossip site TMZ.com reported Thursday that the Women’s Center had booted the 25-year-old star from their organization after she had failed to live up to her obligations.

As part of a probation deal after the troubled actress accepted a ‘no contest’ plea in her most recent scuffle with the law, Lohan was made to serve 360 hours at the LA Women’s Center. She was also ordered to complete therapy sessions. The case judge, Stephanie Sautner, made it very clear, according to DailyMail.co.uk, that a single failure to comply with the therapy sessions would be interpreted as a violation of her probation.

The reason why the starlet was kicked off the previous program is unconfirmed by her publicist but according to TMZ’s sources, Lohan had ‘blown off’ nine appointments at the Women’s Center and not fulfilled the 4 hour minimum when she had arrived, often leaving the facility after an hour.

In the past few weeks, Lohan has been tending to her celebrity life and making up for a dry spell in cinema by taking up fashion modeling. Her recent trip around Europe has left some in doubt whether she has been able to fulfill her legal obligations back in the US. At the Fashion Week in Milan, German designer Philip Plein revealed that Lohan would be the new face of his collection.

While in Paris for a photo shoot, Lindsey had told friends that she had cleared the trip with her therapist so she could attend remote sessions over the phone and that she had completed two 45 minute calls. According to TMZ, Lohan is under the impression that the probation department ‘has it in for her’ and wants to set an example of her by claiming that she is failing to comply with the court order.

On her WhoSay account, Lohan wanted to put an end to the speculations: “I am working hard and fulfilling my obligations every single day, to the court as well as myself [...] If I travel, its for work and its been approved. As is anything I do when I leave the state. I’d appreciate it if people will just let me do what is asked of me, so that I can get my life back.

Please ignore the reports which have no truth to them. Thank you.” The actress will continue her community service at the American Red Cross group in LA.

Troubled former child-star Lindsay Lohan revealed on Saturday that she will be the new face of designer Philipp Plein’s new line. The notorious party girl appeared alongside Plein in Milan, Italy, wearing a sleek, tight black dress, according to uk.eonline.com.

Lohan, best know for her staring role in Mean Girls, has been struggling to regain her footing in the movie industry so a gig in the fashion world seems like a decent alternative while waiting for her next big break. Between busying herself at the New York fashion week and doing photo shoots in Milan, the starlet has yet to complete her court ordered community service, reports RadarOnline.com.

The 25-year-old actress was ordered 480 hours of community service and shoplifting awareness classes for her no contest plea in a misdemeanor theft case. Her next court date is on October 17 for a progress report hearing but so far, Lohan has only completed about 60 hours at the Downtown Women’t Center.

According to RadarOnline’s exclusive report, the Los Angeles judge ordered her to complete 380 hours at the Women’s Center and another 100 hours at the Los Angeles City Morgue. A source close to Lindsay’s crew has said that the starlet is being encouraged to work towards completing her hours as soon as possible, but that she ignores the advise.

“Lindsay’s rationale is that she has a year to complete the service, so she isn’t concerned about it right now.” Meanwhile, Lohan did not shy away from posing and answering questions about her collaboration with Plein in Italy this weekend. The designer praised the actress in his press release, saying “Lindsay is a beautiful, highly acclaimed actress and model.

We will be able to create unique images: Refined and luxurious but also full of sensuality.” On a more personal level, Lohan was accused of being a home wrecker by miamiherald.com after pictures were posted of her kissing hotelier Vikram Chatwal at his NYC home. Vikram Chatwel is married to Indian model Priya Sachdev, with whom he has a daughter.

However, the couple has been separated since the beginning of September this year. Lindsay has before shocked the press with scandalous relationships — most significantly through her on-off relationship with British DJ Samantha Ronson in 2008-09.

Lindsay Lohan, an American Actress and Musician is not going to be punished for failing an alcohol test while under house arrest. Lohan, 24, has been serving her time at home for stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice Beach jewelry boutique in January. According to skynews she “had been summoned to court for a hearing on whether she violated her probation by failing an alcohol test last week”.

The Los Angeles Superior Court judge has warned Lohan to behave, as she is about to end her 25 days of home confinement.

Even though the actress was banned from holding any parties she was reported holding a barbecue party at a friends place last week. The star is not allowed to have more than one friend or family friend over to her home at one time.

Lindsay Lohan’s behavior has put her in and out of jail constantly. If her behavior is not under control she could be sent back behind bars immediately. A court order in a previous case according to a judge said that the star did not have to undergo any drugs or alcohol tests since February 2011.

The judge describes how “don’t give people reason to hate you. Don’t do stupid things that fly in the spirit of the court’s order. You know I sentenced you to jail. You know I didn’t sentence you to house arrest, and what do you do? You have barbecues at your house so your neighbors are writing letters about you.”

Her behavior had sentenced her to jail for four months in may with 480 hours of community service. The only reason why she was sent to house arrest was because she is a non-violent offender and the overcrowding of the jail.

Lohan was known to celebrate her 25^th birthday in Malibu over the weekend. She was officially released on Wednesday a few days before her birthday.

Lindsay Lohan has had her fair share of Hollywood drama. At just 24, she has been in and out of rehab and courtrooms. Studios will not hire her, and directors will not work with her. Lohan’s life is a perfect example of a Hollywood superstar who has been given too much, too soon. It is difficult to tell exactly what went wrong in the starlet’s life that eventually led her to her current position, today.

In 1998, Lindsay Lohan starred in her first major role “The Parent Trap,” a remake of the 1961 classic, alongside Dennis Quaid and the late Natasha Richardson. Lohan was a hit and earned a three-year contract with Disney.

A few years later, she made headlines for the first time when she dated teen heartthrob Aaron Carter in 2002. This created drama because Carter was also rumored to be dating another Disney superstar, Hilary Duff. Though Lohan claimed that she and Duff had no feud, the tabloids would not let go of the story.

However, this feud did not affect her career because in 2003, Lohan starred in “Freaky Friday,” another remake, this time alongside Jamie Lee Curtis. In the movie, she plays a more rebellious character, and even debuts her first single on the soundtrack. The film proved to be Lohan’s most successful to date, and earned 160 million. She also earned an MTV movie award for breakout artist.

In 2004, Lohan starred in her first relatively unsuccessful film, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Though the film was heavily criticized, most people agreed that the actress still had a promising future. Little did she know, Lohan was about to become a teen superstar.

Her most remembered role today, and the one that started her downfall was the comedy written by Saturday Night Live’s Tina Fey, “Mean Girls.” The film sparked the careers of cast mates Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, and made Lohan untouchable in Hollywood. She earned many awards for her role, and at 17, she even became the youngest person to ever host the MTV movie awards.

Lohan used this spark to launch her singing career. She was signed with Tommy Motolla in December of 2004, and her album “Speak” went platinum. Lohan’s busier-than-ever schedule and constant tabloid rumors took a toll on her, but not as much as the announcement of her parents’ separation. Lohan responded by releasing the single “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Father to Daughter),”which stars her sister in the video and expresses her anger towards her father’s abusive tendencies.

In an attempt to shed her Disney image, Lohan’s next 3 films were independent: “A Prairie Home Companion” with Meryl Streep, “Bobby,” and “Chapter 27.”

2006 was perhaps the year that Lindsay Lohan lost every thing. Her professional behavior was criticized for the first time when she starred in another remake, “Herbie Fully Loaded.” Perhaps this is what caused studios to replace her with other actresses. Later in 2006, she starred in “Just My Luck,” which was her least successful film to date. But her lowest point as an actress was in the summer when Lohan was working on “Georgia Rule” with Jane Fonda. A letter was released criticizing the actress for spending her nights partying with the Kardashians and other Hollywood actors, then showing up late on set and claiming “exhaustion.”

She was also seen with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears during this time, both notorious for being heavy partiers.  Lohan was also rumored to be dating British tv actor Calum Best, who was known for his drug use. Finally, during the filming of “I Know Who Killed me,” Lohan checked into rehab for the first time. However, it was an unsuccessful visit and Lohan was arrested again. She got a DUI, went to rehab again, and wore a SCRAM ankle bracelet. Just two weeks after her second departure from rehab, Lohan is arrested yet again for possession of cocaine and a DUI. She attends rehab for the third time.

The next couple of months were not better for Lohan as her film “Labor Pains” went straight to DVD, and her father released voicemails of her and publicly asked her to get help. Just last year, Lohan was expected in court, but she skipped to attend the Cannes film festival. Later that month, she was required to wear the SCRAM bracelet again and comply with other regulations. When she did not cooperate with her terms, Lohan was sentenced to jail for 90 days, resulting in her lawyer quitting the job and yet another stint in rehab. Today, Lohan is under house arrest with the SCRAM bracelet, but hopefully the actress can get the help that she needs.

One might think that Lindsay Lohan is really going through a hard time with all her crazy incidents…although she was just photographed reading a script while smoking during her house arrest.

The troubled actress is currently under house arrest for a million things. But why is it that she looks so relaxed if she’s under house arrest for…a million things?

After incidents of DUI’s, jail, courts, and possible jewelry theft, it looks like the law has not grabbed Lindsay’s attention yet. Especially since recently there have been mentionings that Lindsay is actually “enjoying” her punishment. She was also doing community service in a morgue and at a women’s shelter where she is apparently helping others out. How long will it take before the court notices that Lindsay is not learning anything from her “supposed” punishment?!

The actress had also been sentenced to jail for four months, but she was released after a few hours with just a misdemeanor on her record. It seems that she could physically murder someone, and “maybe” she’ll get to spend a whole day in jail!

Why does the court continue to let Lindsay off the hook? The girl obviously needs some serious help, and having her peacefully reading a script with a cigarette in her mouth will not get through her little head that she will keep tumbling over a cliff if she doesn’t take care of herself.

Considering that Lindsay’s already famous, she could face any kind of serious punishment and still find a job in acting-that is, if someone will still want her. It just seems slightly odd that just because she’s famous, she gets to read up on her next gig while others would be making friends in prison.

What she truly needs is some rehab and therapy that shouldn’t take place at the center she’s visited before because that obviously didn’t help. In fact, when she got her first DUI and was taken to get help, she had gotten out where she was supposedly getting better. But then about two weeks later, she was arrested again in Santa Monica where her health and career shot down the drain. Everything just continues to get worse and worse for the girl so who knows what her next newsworthy story will be. Although there are actors who have had serious trouble who made it on their feet again. Robert Downey, Jr. had some drug-related issues. And so did Drew Barrymore when she was just a kid.

Maybe the script that Lindsay was reading could be her next big break. But is now really the time for her to focus on her career? Maybe she should put her mind and body in a logical place that can tell her that it’s going to take just a little more time to convince others that she’s truly able to have an audience watch her on the screen rather than hear about her personal life all over the Internet.

Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox are reportedly competing for the leading role in a possible remake of “Carrie.”

There is some good and bad news that’s coming with this whole ordeal.

First of all, “Carrie” was a classic. It had a few Oscar nominations, which is rare for a horror movie. Plus, this movie is still creepy after three decades. So why would anyone want to remake something that was so memorable the first time?

To start, the good news that comes with this is that not everyone agrees on the classic part. Some might think that this film had potential to be amazing, but had a so-so result.

Now here’s the real deal- Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox being in consideration to take the part? Now that would result in some interesting outcomes.

Lindsay Lohan might have a chance considering that she does portray the teen-Sissy Spacek look. Lindsay’s sandy-blonde hair and freckles match Sissy’s look. Also, Lindsay isn’t really the pretty type…although others may disagree on that too. But either way, her look can easily present the poor victim that the mean girls pick on. And with all of Lindsay’s trouble she’s been into, she could probably act out her tantrums that Carrie’s religious mother causes her pretty well. And the prom scene would be pretty fitting too.

The downfall on Lindsay taking on this role is the fact that it’s Lindsay Lohan and not someone who didn’t blow her big chance on becoming a seriously taken actress, but who rather chose to take on a different spotlight- the spotlight that shines down on drinking and driving, frequent trips to rehab, court, jail sentences, allegedly stealing jewelry, etc. The public is seeing Lindsay as just a joke who continues to screw herself over. So to have Lindsay take on a role that was a memorable classic thirty years ago? That would just bring the troubled actress some extra haters.

As for Megan Fox taking on the role, there are some pros and cons with that one as well. Megan would definitely portray the lead of a horror movie well. She has the mysterious, eerie look that would fit for a creepy movie. Also, her character in “Jennifer’s Body” would show a guaranteed exciting prom scene. Megan is also doing splendidly in her career. Although she’s not taken seriously, who can help but experience a guilty pleasure when she gives the look of sultry charm?

However, the scale does boost low for Megan. Can an audience really believe sultry charm as a victim? Can anyone really imagine a gorgeous starlet getting picked on by the nasty girls? Especially during the “Plug it up!” scene?

“Carrie” may not need to be remade, but if that’s what it comes down to, then maybe they can find an actress who won’t be too busy in court to film…and also someone who isn’t a 25 on a 1-10 beauty scale.
