It is time to cover another niche on our Top 25 series. Celebrity blogs are among the most popular on the Internet. People just love gossip. As a result, they tend to receive a lot of traffic, and to be very profitable.
I would guess that the lower blogs on our list earn at least $5,000 monthly, while the top ones should be over the $50,000 monthly figure.
Keep in mind that the Top 25 takes into consideration only objective factors. The maximum score is 40, and the details about our algorithm can be found below the list.

Its a Great list and thanks for it. I am very happy to see these blogs. trillions of thanks.
I really like Pervez Hilton and I’m with this site through last few months, getting more interesting and valuable news too.
Thanks a lot for sharing all those interesting sites together 🙂
Perez Hilton is oh so popular! O_O that site really deserves to be on top. 🙂
Excellent list, thanks for sharing it.
I agree that they are the top celebrity blog.
thank you very much for putting it together.I think bittenandbound,celebglitz and popeater will soon make into the list
Hi,
what you think about my blog? I thinking how I can get more traffic 🙂
Interesting list. Thanks for putting info together. Perez Hilton is always at a top… no matter what top is it.
Can’t believe perez hilton is at the top.
– Butch Decossas
Interesting list, thanks very much for putting it together!
🙂
this blog has useful information for bloggers
wow these blogs are really great…. Now I’m thinking to have my own blog just like these hahaha.
But Gawker has sub domain blogs in there e.g. ValleyWag and Defamer are just Gawker by another name and ‘look’ so why list them 3 times?
This was too good. I love to keep myself entertained and this blog list was really good.
I already have made my favourites 🙂
Keep up the Good job.

Thanks for doing a good survery on celebrity .
log statics of pagerank of different search engines.
it gives clear hide which blogs work very well with high traffice
Thank you for the list. I definitly love reading up on celebrity blogs.
Thanks for the list. very helpful.
Sorry to intervene. I wanted to ask, where can I find the top 500 list of celebrity blogs, if there is one. This 25 is ok, but can I find more sites? maybe eeven get the alexa and Technorati ranking too. Any ideas? (Thanks)
what about mediatakeout.com? that is the website that i visit faithfully. then again, it is the #1 visited black website in the world. we obviously don’t count.
I think the market is becoming saturated with these celebrity blogs but there will always be a demand.
People love a bit of celeb gossip… I know I do!!! But it’s all about not taking it all too seriously. Focusing on our own lives so to speak!
Very interesting list.
I like to suggest everyone a celebrity image gallery which is free, unique and really very good.
Those who want to have a little bit of entertainment in between their work, can take a break and watch freeuniqueimages.com. Unique thing
about this site is that…only full body decent images of more than 200 celebrities are there with full emphasis on great figure. There are
RSS, forums, blogs & chat features also where you can connect with each others.
Interesting. I’m surprised Perez Hilton is above TMZ. I figured TMZ was the king.
Nice list. I am visiting some of those blogs.
I need to work harder, so in few months one of my celeb’s blogs will be listed up there. 😉
I also visit perez, the truth is that we all love gossip, that’s the human nature
the only time perez is a top…
I agree maybe take a look at compete.com’s numbers and maybe try quantcast. Just a thought!
I don’t think people will ever get fed up with gossip and dirt. It’s what drives the media sales. I have heard people for years talk about the very same thing when it comes to the gossip you hear on TV and on the newsstands. But yet the TV show networks and magazine companies continue to thrive, and we all check them out once in, a while we are at home, or while standing in line at the local Wal-Mart. Why do we like it? I don’t know. Most of us lead average, normal lives, and maybe we are looking for a little excitement without the risk. We let others do it for us, that’s what celebrities are for. Haha. Thanks for the list and the insight into what can be used to make money on the internet. Celebrity sites!!
@Samuel, Valleywag covers tech celebrities, so it goes on the list.
As for Gawker being above, well, the ranking is based on objective factors, it is not our opinion.
Why is Valleywag on the list? That is not a celebrity blog – and even if it was classed as one, which it isn’t – Gawker should be above it…
It’s no surprise Perez is #1.. his site is a daily favourite of mine, along with TMZ.
@Jaan, still it is the best metric we have. Why do you think some advertising networks use it? They are putting money on the table, and using Alexa as a decision factor.
I know it is not perfect, but it is what we got. After the change in the algorithm, most people recognized that the number got even closer to the real situation also.
Alexa is a reliable traffic measure? Hardly. Plenty of tools can create a false Alexa profile for any website.
@Alex, because technorati is a measure of backlinks and link popularity.
@Jaan, because Alexa is still the most reliable traffic metric out there. Compete behaves weirdly when you have non-us sites involved.
Why not compare all of these blog through compete.com as well?
why do you have technorati up there?
@Glen Allsopp, looks like they copied my algorithm 🙂 .
There was also something similar recently in the finance niche:
what do you mean not always on top?
Yeah..Perez hilton maybe always not on top but no one knows when.
celeb market blogs are tappped out
perez hilton makes a killing with advertisement
Suresh, I am not sure what you talking about.
These are all celebrity blogs. Digital inspiration is a tech blog, while problogger is a “make money online” blog.
Nice list!
Perez Hilton is always at the top
The list is quite different from expectation like digital inspiration ie labnol.org and pro blogger .
Where these are in the listing position ?
