All That People In Limelight Makes News

By Russell S Stewart

People in the limelight always know that whatever they do makes news. Whether they laugh or cry, whether they split or marry, each and everything is lapped up by the press and fed to the public who simply love to read all about it.

That is why websites dealing with spicy news, gossip, interesting pictures and videos makes interesting reading and there are a great many people who read these posts and blogs in these websites.

There is one post on Katie Holmes which creates interest even though it does not really pen down what is happening. The headline is 'Katie Holmes Works, Tom and Suri Leave town,' making one wonder whether the husband and daughter are leaving town because she is working or if there has been a tiff between them. But when you read the body of the story, it tells nothing. It merely says that Katie got out of her car and headed to the theatre where she is performing a play called, 'All my sons'. The news further says that she said bye to Tom Cruise and Suri who were seen leaving their house and heading for the heliport in New York. Doesn't sound like splitsville, does it? But the headline can imply it without actually saying it.

If you read a headline which says that 'Katie Holmes Works, Tom and Suri leave town,' what would you think? That because Katie is working her husband and daughter are leaving town? Wrong. The news does not say anything like that but the headline implies it. The body of the item merely gives the information that Katie Holmes got out of her car and headed for the theatre where she is acting in a play called, 'All my sons.' And that before she did that she said good bye to Tom and Suri who were seen leaving their apartment and heading for the helipad in East New York. The headline makes you interested enough to read the whole post, doesn't it? That is the main idea of the whole post. Clever, eh?

Model Ali Lohan has been featured on the cover of Supermodels magazine but the post on her says that she can't act, she is dumb and she has reached the top because of her sister Lindsay who was good during her heydays. The blog says that Lohan cannot sing, act, dance or even talk properly. The writer has called her ugly and has quoted, ' The reality show I am doing with my family is a great way to show that we are actually a normal family and not some freaks the tabloids make us out to be.' That is the kind of gossip and news that this website features but it is fun to read.

Another item says that Angelina Jolie is planning on backing out of the spotlight for a while. Her six kids need more time with her and she wants to spend time with them. Though she has told the press that she wants to fade away for some time, the main thing is that she has not really said bye to her career. She is reported to have said that she will act for some time and then be ready to be a grandmother. This was during a BBC interview. Difficult to believe that an actress like Angelina will become a domestic person and fade away from the public eye.

The Times is reported to have said that UK will be giving permission in the New Year for its local authorities to excavate the remains of earlier graves, bury them deeper and use the top space for fresh burials. Even the tombstone may be tampered with. There may be new names added or some stones which have faded be removed. Sounds irreverent, doesn't it?

This website certainly gives news and views, celebrity happenings and funny things in the world as well as videos which ought to make it a popular one. - 16003
