When the latest celebrity news breaks, it often goes viral on the internet. But some websites are better than others when it comes to breaking all the latest celebrity news and gossip.

The No. 1 Site for Celebrity News: People

People magazine online

People
What We Like

  • Find out what A-list celebrities are doing.

  • Section for British royals.

  • The ads are fun.

What We Don't Like

  • Includes non-celebrity news seen everywhere on the internet.

Most celeb news addicts know that People Magazine is one of the hottest offline publications for entertainment news and celebrity gossip.

The site resembles an online version of its magazine, featuring the latest headlines and what's making news in Hollywood, so there's always something new to read. They have some pretty fun online quizzes too.

TMZ.com

TMZ
What We Like

  • Real-time news and gossip updates.

  • Lots of photos and videos of celebrities.

What We Don't Like

  • Website design could be a little slicker.

TMZ is one of the most popular websites for all things Hollywood. The site focuses on getting only the best inside scoops, and its reporters are most often among the first to have coverage on any breaking or current news.

The site allows you to create a personal account and customize your experience, along with exclusive sections for photos and videos.

e Online home page

E! Online
What We Like

  • A must-see website for Kardashian fans.

  • Current TV and celebrity news.

What We Don't Like

  • Shopping opportunities are immediate and continual.

E! Entertainment Television is the popular TV network that most people have seen on their TV screens. Its online property is called E! Online.

This one is similar to the other popular sites and includes everything from news and inside scoops to celebrity photos and videos. If you like the material they put out on TV, which is pretty popular, you might be interested in their online content as well.

One-Stop-Shop for Movies, TV, Music, and Celebs: Yahoo Entertainment

Yahoo Entertainment

Yahoo Entertainment
What We Like

  • Behind-the-scene coverage not seen elsewhere.

  • Variety of celebrity, TV, and movie news.

What We Don't Like

  • Lots of sponsored stories.

  • Basic layout could use some design work.

The celebrity gossip section of Yahoo gets some of the highest traffic numbers online, making Yahoo Entertainment one of the trendiest resources for celebrity news.

Browse through categories like TV, Movie, and Music, and entertainment events like Comic-Con. The site also has round-the-clock celebrity reporting, so you'll never get bored.

Celeb News from a Celeb Blogger: Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton home page

Perez Hilton
What We Like

  • Celebrity news with a generous helping of gossip.

  • Celebrity name crawl is a clever navigation tool.

  • Quizzes that test celebrity knowledge.

What We Don't Like

  • Busy website.

  • Too many advertisements and Perez Hilton promotions.

A celebrity gossip journalist known as Perez Hilton built one of the most popular blogs the internet has ever seen. It's so popular, Perez is now a celebrity himself.

He's well known for writing silly and critical captions on photos of celebrities. He has quite the personality too, and it shows through on his site.

So if you're up for some extra drama from one of the web's top celebrity bloggers, this is a good one to check out.

Jennifer Lopez's Twitter account
What We Like

  • Celebrity news often breaks first on Twitter.

  • Easy to follow celebrities and celebrity websites.

  • Customized email and text notifications.

What We Don't Like

  • Some celebrities don't use Twitter.

  • Many celebrity tweets aren't newsworthy.

Last but not least, we have the king of all breaking news sites: Twitter. Instead of constantly refreshing TMZ.com or People.com, sign up for Twitter and start following every celebrity gossip site's Twitter account and all your favorite celebrities.

When news breaks, it usually breaks on Twitter not long afterward. So if you want good news right when it hits, Twitter is the place to be.
