Sprint has announced Blogstar, a wireless blogging platform built exclusively so celebrities could voice their day-to-day lives to the world. Now stars will be able to beat the tabloids and paparazzi to the punch as they upload pics, stories and soon video to their sites thus also ending the need for gossip blogs. Blogstar launches in the midst of falling sales of cell phone ringtones and wallpapers and the rising popularity of MySpace (and the MySpace Top 8’s). Of course there’s a caveat. The service is subscription based and will cost $5/month for curious web surfers to read about their favorite famous “friends.” According to Reuters, “subscribers receive alerts when new posts are uploaded.” Natalie, age nineteen and unimpressed by BlogStar, told C&V, “I don’t want those moth*r fu*king alerts interrupting my shout outs to KiKi and my convos with my boo, Rayonelle.” Allison, 16, on a website by Wilmer Valderrama added, “[she]‘d rather pour battery acid in [her] eyes and eat rusty nails with cold gravy than read his blog.” Despite our market research (two sassy teens), many celebrity sites are going up as we speak and good, bad, or ugly, we wanted to know who’s blogging. So, living up to our highly motivated and somtimes illegal journalistic search for knowledge, C&V hounded Sprint for 3 days till they finally coughed up an exclusive run-down of the top celebrity blog URLs. Be sure to bookmark ‘em all.

Below is a mash-up between the widely anticipated, soon-to-be historic movie, Snakes on a Plane and United 93, a sick attempt to make money off an American tragedy. Creative premise, not so creative in the handiwork. The editor(s) behind the work simply took half the United trailer and added it to Snakes without paying close attention to the artistry of true movie trailer making. Take a look. Then comment below on the C&V discussion topic: “If you found a snake on a plane, would you eat it?”

MySpace.com has exploded over the past few years to become the #7 most visited site on the Internet according to Alexa.org (C&V is #9 +/- 56,000,000). For those of you all not in the know, MySpace is a venue for people to create profiles about themselves, find virtual “friendsÂ,” trade comments and have annoying songs like Aqua’s “Barbie Girl“ and Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping“ play while profiles load. But the most intriguing feature and soon to be a social class above upper-middle is the “Top 8.”The Top 8 consists of user-picked friends chosen from their pool of pals to appear directly on their profile (we only have 4 friends and can’t use this feature). It’s an interesting way to flaunt the people you relate to or like the most while excluding those proverbially deemed as tools or inbreeds. With that, C&V thought it would be fascinating to peer into celebrity MySpace profiles and view their “Top 8’s.” You’ll be shocked to learn who the upper echelon of today’s society considers worthy of their elite eight seats. Take a look.

Dakota Fanning week officially ends today and what a week it has been. First, CNN made a goof and accidently reported to the world the darling actress we’ve grown to love “mysteriously died.” Of course C&V was heart broken over the news. So we decided to devote our efforts to pay homage to the alleged late Fanning. We posted her music outfit of the week, her song choices, a whacky interview with a Japanese boy, an innocent cease & desist letter or two from CNN, travel photos, monkey love, and a Girl Scout troop meeting. Whew. What a mouthful.
We climax the week with a trailer from the newest Nicholas Sparks’ movie True Believer starring the much alive Dakota Fanning and her look alike Gollum. It’s an epic story of love, hate, and jealousy between star-crossed lovers and jealous suitors set during a truly magical summer. View the True Believer trailer below and laugh, then sigh in relief knowing that Dakota Fanning will be with us for many, many more years to come.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this helluva week.

Many of our readers may not know this, but Dakota Fanning is a Girl Scout. As a scout, she’s learned the importance of caring, kindness, and giving. It turns out the fetus turned child phenom is such a giving gal that she invited several hundred scouts to a free movie. What appeared to be an act of altruism turned into outright disdain when fellow brownies discovered they were seeing Dreamer starring none other than Dakota Fanning. Paparazzi weren’t invited to the event, but nine year old Susie Greenberg snapped some shots of scorn from the red carpet to complete requirement #6 of the Photography merit badge. Thankfully, Susie decided to share some of the gems.
