All About Celebrities

By Russell S Stewart

It is a fact that people in the limelight always make news. Whatever they do or say or even whatever they do not do or do not say all makes news.

That is why newspapers, magazines and websites which give information of celebrities and people in the news are read by everyone. One such website which deals with celebrities is www.tophotceleb.com. It has gossips, it has news, it has pictures, funny news, videos and the like which all of you would love to go through.

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 in the limelight and is in the news. The very fact that the magazine Supermodels has taken her on the cover shows that she has almost reached the top. But the post on her says that she is ugly and that she cannot sing, dance, act or even talk. That she has reached where she is just because of her famous sister, Lindsay, who was good during her days. A simple statement made by Lohan that her family is absolutely normal and not freaks as some tabloids have said, has been used as a quote. But it does make you read it, doesn't it? And that is the main aim of any website that wishes to be popular and well 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.

There are serious items also. For example one post says that there are too many deaths in UK and there is not enough burial space. Quoting The Times the post says that the country is allowing the disturbance of human remains in the burial grounds, for the first time since the early Victorian era. It further says that the local authorities across England will allow the exhumation of bodies and rebury them deeper in the ground from next year. Sounds gruesome and irreverent, doesn't it? This way there will be enough burial space above the earlier graves. Even the headstones may be removed or names added or some such thing.

The website is a good mixture of news and gossip where your views can also be posted. - 16036
