Housekeeping: How Are Things Now?

We’ve been endlessly tweaking things on the site for the past couple weeks so I hope the two or three of you bastards who are still around find some of the changes useful. Our goal is to find a healthy balance between community, ease of use and stability, so thank you for your patience while we work through the kinks!

Please take a few seconds to give us constructive feedback and we’ll do our best to take all your suggestions into consideration when deciding what to tackle next.

Community Will Return
We’ve done this a long time & each time we’ve transitioned people have left for one reason or another. This time we’re thinking much more long-term than before & I can all but guarantee a new batch of peeps will settle in. It might take a few months or a year, but they will come. At the end of the day, crazy people will drive us nuts whether they’re logged in or not (we have many examples from over the years), but the benefits of an open community are far greater. We just came to the realization that a gossip site shouldn’t force people create an account when somebody just wants to leave a couple thoughts & never come back. At times, those are some of the most entertaining comments. At the end of the day, we’re commenting on celebrities, their respective legs, racks, butts, etc., so we gotta stop taking ourselves so seriously & just enjoy the few minutes away from our robot lives. Right?!

Navigating The Gallery
We’ve made it so that you can click on the photo itself to go to the next photo. Once each gallery set finishes, it will go to the next gallery in the archives, so if you’re really bored out of your mind, you can literally spend a few days in the gallery section & not even scratch the surface of our entire collection of nearly 40,000 posts over the past eight years. Ya, I know, we have no lives.

HTML For Posting Photos & Videos
If you’re looking post photos, use simple HTML like this:
IMG SRC HTML
Videos are much easier: Just paste the YouTube video link & it’ll automatically embed the video to the comment. Video services other than YouTube will appear as links..

Feature Highlight: Daily Catwalks
Catwalks
Previously we used to create separate posts for these daily catwalks, but that limited the number of celebrities we could post, as well as the speed we could get new photos up on the site. This new section attacks both problems and creates an area that’s offers a highly curated selection of candid and red carpet photos that we feel deserve a spotlight. You can easily comment on these photos by clicking directly on the photo or on the comment bubble that appears when hovering over the photo.

Let us know how we can make this section better. We truly feel it makes the consumption of the latest photos far easier than before! Less clicks, ads and pageloads! Who doesn’t like that?

Feature Highlight: Mobile Version
While obviously not as robust as the full version, we still like what you can do on the new mobile site! You can quickly view photos in the gallery and make comments when on your smartphone! When you’re on the go, the mobile site is definitely worth a look-see.

Again, thank you for your support and patience. We’ll continue trying our best to win you bastards over one by one. In the meantime, happy browsing!

Peter Jackson’s “Hobbit” Trilogy Release Dates Finalzed (FINALLY!)

“The second film has been retitled ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.’ The third film will take the title that was previously assigned to the second film, ‘The Hobbit: There and Back Again.'”[THR]

Yes, movie lovers, another Peter Jackson Hobbit-centric trilogy is headed to a cinema hall near you, thanks to the decision by Warner Bros. and Jackson to release what was to have been two movies as three separate three-hour long epic movies that can only rival the original Lord of the Rings trilogy. In case you’re as confused as we all were at the beginning of this reassignment of titles in The Hobbit trilogy, let me break it down as simply as possible. The three films will be:

1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Opens December 14, 2012
2. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug - Opens on Dec. 13, 2013
3. The Hobbit: There and Back Again - Opens on July 18, 2014

And that, as Gandalf would say, is good enough, Frodo.

Lea Michele Chats On Phone While Carrying TWO Grocery Bags!

You’d think one trip to Bristol Farms is enough for “Glee” star Lea Michele, but obviously that’s not the case. As she did on her previous grocery run, Ms. Michele dressed the parts real well by once again donning a pair of barely-there short-shorts to showcase her beautiful legs while hitting up the West Hollywood grocer. The 26-year-old singer-actress was all smiles as she was spotted heading back to her car (Toyota Prius) carrying her two bags of groceries while glued to her phone the entire time. We’re pretty sure she was having one of those fake convos to help keep the awkwardness to a minimum.

BREAKING! Justin Bieber Gets Pulled Over In His Fisker Karma (Again)

While I dig the Fisker Karma, as well as the unique finish, I gotta admit, for Justin Bieber to be rolling around in this thing really tells a lot about the size of his ego. As if the guy needs any more attention focused on his ass, but I guess when you’re showered with so much fame & fortune at such a young age, you’ll automatically make some really f’d-up decisions. Then again, wasn’t this car supposed to be an 18th birthday gift from Uncle Usher?

These were snapped yesterday afternoon as Justin had yet another run in w/ the law while driving around in his mobile mirror. He was pulled over by the CHP while cruising around with a buddy. This isn’t the first time
