Celebrity Blog Sites Give Fans A Look In

Example of a celebrity blog *Contains Brief Expletive Language*



Celebrities are using new tactics to give fans a look in. They are now using blogs, many of them being videos of there everyday life. This gives fan an extra connection with whoever they are following and almost lets them get to know the person. It lets the fan know how they are feeling and what they are doing at the moment. Rapper Joe Budden as seen above uses his website JoeBuddenTV to give fans a look at his everyday life. Many of the videos are very comical in that Joe does most of the videotaping. Athletes such as Micheal Beasley and producer Sean "Puffy' Combs are also known to heavily blog. Blogs just like twitter or facebook is a way of social networking. Joe Budden especially has found a following on his website where there are many forums made talking about the site. It is another smart marketing move on the part of the artist or athlete or whoever. These blogs are going to cause traffic to there name and to there site. If something controversial goes on on the site immediately whoever it was there name will be in the news. Just as the Joe Budden vs Method Man feud started over a blog on Joes site. I do think it is deeper than a marketing scheme though. I think celebrities are just realizing that people are very interested in there everyday lives. I think its great enertainment and i enjoy the blogs.
