Celebrity Today!

Paris Hilton is learning the power of the blog lately as she tries to set the story straight about a recent incident reported in the media. She didn’t go on television and speak out about the story. She went straight to her blog. Yes, Paris Hilton has her own blog on Myspace.com with about 170,000 friends. I wonder how long it takes her to check in with all of them every day! The latest story talks about her going by a sale of puppies and demanding one for use on a recent photo shoot. This caused a bit of a stir, so she had to speak up and defend herself. In her blog, she lashes out at the media for the story.

I wasn’t looking for a new pet, I wasn’t even at a photo shoot that day, (I was down the street at Benji’s DCMA clothing store) and I actually have a Yorkie puppy. I love animals and the cruel things people say are not acceptable. Puppies are not accessories or toys and I love my own pets dearly–I treat them as if they were my children.

This just shows you the power of the blog. They keep popping up everywhere, and a lot of people are getting into blogging and following their favorites. Even celebrities are jumping into blogging. Paris here has her own blog, and I know Rosie O’Donnell has her own blog too. As the Internet grows, more and more people create blogs. I usually don’t pay much attention to Paris Hilton at all, but this time she got my eye. Good on her for trying to clear things up.
