Amy Winehouse Official Website
This is the official Amy Winehouse website, home of the Camden, London based 5 Grammy Award winning highly talented singer and creator of the Albums “Frank” and “Back to Black” fame.
A surprisingly clean and uncluttered site with simple navigation and the usual expected links on such sites to History, Gigs, Gallery, Videos, VIP Lounge and much more.
Plenty of her songs being played and rotated on the page in video format and a newsfeed on the main page with a blog download link for those who want the latest developments. All the news is there with live performances, latest gigs, developments amd planned appearances which seems to be updated on a 1 or 2 week basis. Her chaotic personal life doesn’t get a mention, that would be another website in its own right!
For Amy Winehouse fans this is”THE ONE” and it comes recommended but with one minor gripe being the site on our very fast broadband connection was taking a while to load, with the list of videos loading probably being the culprit, slowing down proceedings and affecting the sites load time.
There is a forum for those die hard fans and you can register via email to receive updates about new releases, preferential ticket purchase opportunities, PA’s, exclusive competitions and music downloads. With the increasing global popularity of this lady that is something worth having if you are a fan keeping you 10 steps ahead of everybody else!
A spot on site bar the slow loading time, and a good reference point for Amy Winehouse music related material, where you can also buy her material via this rated official site.

Celebrity Puke
Yes we know……. that is the name of the site and what a name it is!. Quite a high ranked site this one all the same and there’s good reason.
Official description of the site is: CelebrityPuke.com is an online celebrity gossip magazine with up to date celebrity news, gossip, and exclusive candid pictures of Hollywood s hottest celebrities.
Celebrity Puke is about the more unconventional celebrity news, the stuff that makes us laugh or have a little snigger and there’s some we have to say good footage and write ups on here and with some in your face size photos that are also not the conventional celebrity production line material that you are going to see everywhere.
Updates are daily with a couple of posts on average a day and it has got to be one of the easiest sites to navigate as everything is one page.
If you are into celebrity gossips, rumours, photos that are that bit different , with a bit of humour thrown in as well, Celebrity Puke is definetly worth a look if you are looking for a lighter approach to celebrity news.
Hello Magazine and Website
Hello Magazine and Website ranked at the time of writing 18000 in the world which means this site and magazine is another big player in the celebrity arena. Main site is the UK version with Spanish, Canadian, Mexican, Greek and Russian Versions also available.
We would say this website and magazine is female focused and is the major competitor to the OK Magazine, not quite as much content as OK but still impressive all the same. We do use the hellomagazine news at the FJ Girls website. On the newstands this magazine retails about 90p cheaper than OK. We would say its a halfway house between Heat Magazine and OK Magazine.
The main headings on this site include a section called Channels featuring sub sections of Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Fashion and Models, royalty and statesmen, Health and Beauty and Travel.
There’s also in InDepth section with photos and videos and more and an interactive club with quizzes and games, horoscopes and more and a Services section where you can get hold of that all important RSS Feed to burn in your feedreader.
A traditional safe looking site, with a good design and very easy to find your way around but also geared up for that 20 second quick visit just to see the latest goss!
Photo galleries are reasonable to good with some outstanding ones with a slighly bigger than usual size but you’ll have to be patient with waiting for them to download but they are worth the wait. We had a look at a Victoria Beckham in leather photo and it was impressive!
Everything for the celebrity news and gossip lover, this is one for the girls without a doubt! A nice read and another RSS and bookmark essential.
OMG Yahoo
This is a fairly NEW offering from the monster World Ranked No1 Web site and Search Engine Yahoo, titled OMG, as in the famous in phrase at the moment in celebrity news circles. OMG is in collaboration with Access Hollywood and X17, which are renowned Celeb sites in their own right.
When the worlds No1 website and search engine starts moving in celebrity circles, you can’t help but sit up and take notice, and this site impresses in a second. Forgetting the Yahoo backing on this and the fact it has strong tabloid undercurrents, we liked the look of this one straight off.
Clean cut lines, nice colour scheme, clean and simple layout, possibly the way forward for new websites, we hope it is. Basically OMG is a Celebrity News Portal with strong emphasis on photo content and we have to say the photos are quality and leap out at you ,and thats just the thumbs. The way it should be. Videos also feature.
OMG is a tabloid style offering but the news articles get the brain cells ticking over a bit more and there’s no shortage of celeb eye candy with female celebrities dominating the headlines on this site.
This is a site you could visit and in 30 seconds you would have scanned the major headlines and see who is where and who is up to what. But if you want to spend longer and go into more depth the content is there.
Adverts are at a minimum on this site which is unbelievable for a celebrity style site and OMG is still in BETA, but this site looks set to be going places and with big name backing could be taking the celebrity photo and news world by storm.
A classy tabloid style number with quality content and topics that impressed the hell out of us, and one that gets our recommendation without hesitation.
One to watch!
Holy Moly
Holy Moly if you haven’t heard of this one………….where have you been!
Heat World is your tabloid version of say something like the quality and authorative OK Magazine and website. Holy Moly is …………….well a breed of its own.
It’s been around since 2002 and this one of those cult following sites that is now currently ranked at 38000 in the world so it gets fair amount of hits and is up there with the likes of FreshDames and HeatWorld, its that sort of calibre as regards hits and popularity but thats where the similarity ends.
Holy Moly is a very informal sort of website in a blog style which we have to say we have not seen anything similar. The first thing that caught our eye is the mailing list subscription list application with a “Stick your first name here” and “Stick your surname here” this sets the tone for whats to come.
Got to say there’s some big wow size pictures on here for the headlines instead of those miniscule thumbs where you can just make out who it is. This is all hand written stuff and this site as far as we know is run by a student.
This is a love it or hate it sort of site but the content we have to say is there, its exclusive instead of duplicated or farmed, and all the main headlines feature, but all treated with that Holy Moly approach of a bit of cutting sarcasm wit with some alternative views on what is happening on the celeb arena. The person that runs this site quite obviously lives and breathes celebrities…and it shows.
There’s a merchandise section, competitions, a forum and much more. A very difficult site to put into words this one, the picture above probably does a better job. The only way to find out what Holy Moly is all about is to go there and dive in!
