Perez Hilton

Everyone gets there celeb gossip from somewhere, my go-to is PerezHilton.com He is funny, opinionated and stands for a cause. Granted, his site is now basically a huge advertisement, but the content is still pretty good if you like that stuff. He is also extremely funny in all his interviews and I think it would be interesting to get to know the guy behind the name...
