Monday, November 20th, 2006

A couple friends of mine and I put together a celebrity gossip/news “aggregator” - basically, it’s a one-stop shop for news from the more popular celebrity news sites/blogs.

Check out www.enturltainment.com.

We currently have feeds from:

A Socialite’s Life
Gawker
Defamer
Jossip
New York Post
TMZ.com
The Superficial
Egotastic
JustJared
Celebspin

More will be added soon.

You no longer have to visit each site to get caught up on all things-celebrity. Check out www.enturltainment.com for all your Brangelina and TomKat news.

If you have suggestions for feeds to add to the site, email racerfan at gmail dot com

A tip of the cap to popurls.com for inspiration.
