Celebrity Blogs

The internet today is more entertaining than TV and on some cases even movies.

What do you guys think about Celebrity Blogs, Myspace pages, Facebooks... etc etc

Why do we add them to our friend lists, comment on their blogs and on their various myspace type pages?

We all know most of them simply have these pages as a marketing tool so that they can plug their current projects (music, movies, shows..etc..etc)

We also know that most of their pages are run by their little mingions and that the celebrity in question will rarely even visit the page nor will they take the time to read the 100 comments per minute that are posted. there is even less of a chance that they will reply to any of these said comments which have been sent to them by adoring fans.

Sure some celebs are active in the internet world and their blogs are genuine but the marketing aspect of it is always present.

i am just curious to hear about what people have to say about this new tool that wants to make us feel closer to our favorite celebs but at the sam time, all it really does is plug hollywood's projects and give you a new form of faulse hope that yes, celebs will take the time away from their busy schedule to personaly interact with you.

has anyone out there ever gotten a comment response on myspace by a celebrity?
why do you add them to your friend list?
why do you read their blogs and write to them?

i have a few celebs on my myspace friend list, and enjoy reading their blogs. i comment back and hope to get some sort of response within the sea of comments that they receive. i have yet to feel that special. i do it because even if i know that the chances are improbable, i somewhat always hope that someone i have admired in movies, tv or music will take notice of lil ol me and say hello.
