Wenn News and Photographic Agency
Wenn is a photographic agency that specialises in celebrity photo’s and news from around the world and stands for World Entertainment News Network.
They have offices in London, Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas and many other cities around the world where there are a high density of celebrities and celebrity events and assocaited industries that revolve round these people.
Essentially not a site for surfers, but more for webmasters that specialise in celebrities and celebrity news, the content from these people is second to none as FJ Girls has trialled the service behind the scenes for a week or so after being approached by this agency, and is considering using it some time in the future!
Top celebrity sites and blogs do use this photo and news service, with the news service only incurring one fee and the associated photos incurring another. There is the ability for WENN to personalise the service and photo format and size and tailor the RSS feed for site syndication which saves a lot of cutting and cropping in Photoshop or similar. This service does come at a price but for webmasters running serious celebrity websites, up to the minute photo’s in some shape or form are vital as female stars in particular are prone to violent changes in appearance, Victoria Beckham being a recent case in point.
Highly Recommended but website revenues need to be solid to pay for this service as it is not cheap.

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.
The Sun Newspaper and Website
The Sun Newspaper and website is tabloidism in its purest form, its where it all began and has spawned many of the magazines and websites and other tabloid papers in various guises that appear including many websites.
Tabloids have had a lot of bad press in recent years but these newspapers are renowned to going to extreme lengths to get that story, and they are particularly good at weeding out the tasty news that we are dying to hear about, and they deliver in traditional sensationalist style. Some is real, some is not!
They are prone to jumping the gun a bit and publish headlines ahead of the broadsheet and more staid news sources that tend to check and double check that this news headline is the real deal before they publish.
This means that the Sun is one of those rare gems that must be kept an eye on for celebrity news and we at FJ Girls do watch this and its competitor the mirror very closely as a high proportion of these so called leaked stories do pan out to be the true headlines in the making, with the main news agencies latching on later.
The Sun website is true to form to the newspaper, with loads of sport, page 3 girls, celebrity news and gossip and the usual tongue in cheek and rhyming headlines you will only see here. Its big bold, in your face and very red, but we have to say it does look the biz . The Sun website is a packed and well laid out site with solid navigation and links with good features and bristles with updates.
Headings on the website include News, Sport, Showbiz, Woman, Fun, Virals, Dear Deirdre, Mystic Meg, Motors, Travel, and of course the Famed Page 3 section and much more
It’s a UK lads newspaper and website, it doesn’t pretend to be otherwise, but the celebrity section and gossip is a good read for the ladies as well.
Recommended and used by us with a pinch of salt here and there with the dodgier headlines. A good light hearted read and a possible advance view of future headlines in the making so one you simply cannot afford to miss whether you like it or not. A must for any RSS Feed Reader or Bookmark. Ignore at your peril!
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!
