Celebitchy is travelling and going on vacation. This means we will be gone from Friday until either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on when we can get Internet access. Wednesday is probably a safer bet. For those of you that think we're slackers - you're right.
Have a great weekend and we'll bring you all the latest gossip mid-week next week. Here's what's going on today:
- Are Brad and Angelina going to adopt another baby NOW? That's crazy talk! (Faded Youth)
- Mandy Moore and Zach Braff are no more. They kept a low profile though, so who cares really. There aren't any pictures. (Daily Dish)
- Nicole Kidman looks pregnant (Socialite's Life)
- George Bush asks a blind guy to remove his sunglasses, but he should know the guy - he's been in his press corps for years (DListed)
- Having failed to convince Britney of the merits of Kabbalah, Madonna moves on to Lohan (MollyGood)
- Are Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn engaged? (PopSugar)
- Madonna's "Get Together" video (popbytes)
- Kate Bosworth walks her dog (The Bastardly)
- All of Stephanie Adams' "fans" that commented on BlogNYC - they were from the same IP address, uh Adams' computer (BlogNYC)
- Oprah crashes a wedding, royally pisses off a family in Oklahoma (Glitterati)
We are trying to find a solution for hosting high resolution images and wanted to ask your opinion. We have a premium account at PhotoBucket, which is the best ad-free photo host, but PhotoBucket does not automatically resize images to fit your screen. This is not an issue for Firefox users, but most of you are on Internet Explorer and probably prefer that images are resized.
We have been using ImageShack, and it seemed like a great host because it automatically creates thumbnails with image dimensions and the ads are relatively tame. I just noticed that ImageShack launches pop-up windows, though, which are incredibly annoying. (I only noticed this when I moved to a computer that didn't have an Internet security program and would not have used this image host if I was aware of it. That other computer could also be infected with spyware which might be causing the problem.)
ImageVenue is another solution, but the ads there are pretty racy, which could create a problem for people surfing at work or school. (So could most of the posts on this site, but that's another issue.)
Would you please compare the photos on the following posts and let us know what you prefer?
One solution might be to use ImageVenue and pay a little bit for a professional account so that you're not subjected to pr0n ads. This seems like the best idea, but let us know. We'll probably add our own mild ads to the image view pages in this case to make a little extra cash to pay for the site.
Also, if you know a good image gallery plugin for Movable Type that works with remotely hosted images, please let me know. Thanks!

Top gossip and fashion blogs are members of the "Glam Network," a celebrity and fashion site that partners with blogs with the promise of advertising revenue from ad placement. The Glam Network is scamming fashion and gossip bloggers into giving them massive free advertising in exchange for a small link on the Glam website and the promise of ad revenue which never materializes.
The Glam Network lures bloggers with exclusivity and .50 cents a click. After applying to join, your blog might get approved about a month later and you're sent a lengthy contract that states that Glam will pay you .50 cents a click for third party ads, which they can swap out with ads for Glam.com at their discretion. This sounds like a decent deal and it seems better than the payout for AdSense or CrispAds.
Glam never explains the contract in simple terms, and there are no Terms of Service or FAQs for Glam Network bloggers on their website.
In order to finalize your membership you're required to place one Glam ad, either 160x600, 300x250, or 728x90 on your site, along with a small Glam membership logo and a 160x200 Glam "Module" which features content from Glam. Most sites choose the large 728x90 vertical banner, assuming they're getting .50 cents a click.
Here's the relevant part of the contract:
The thing is - Glam doesn't give any payout for its own ads, and third party ads are rarely, if ever, seen. It also doesn't offer any real time statistics or network blog control panel. Get this - you have to e-mail them to request statistics and then take their word on it.
It is incredibly rare to see a third party ad on a Glam Network blog, and the Standard Blog Contract states that Glam can swap out the ads with free Glam ads at their discretion.
Celebitchy was approved for the Glam Network and we signed the contract this week. We got suspicious after we realized that we wouldn't receive any paying ads for a while, and that there were no statistics available.
Our contact at Glam e-mailed us:
I answered:
When we checked, only one Glam network blog had an ad that wasn't for Glam.com. We e-mailed with a top gossip blog that gets a huge amount of traffic and they said that they've had Glam ads up since April and only saw a third party ad appear occasionally at the beginning of this month, June
No one has ever been paid by Glam that we could verify. That same top gossip site told us that they've never seen a dime from Glam despite having their ads up since April.
Two other gossip bloggers told us they assumed they would be receiving .50/click for the huge ads on their site from Glam, and did not realize that there was no payout for Glam.com ads.
Glam is a much worse deal than CrispAds or AdSense because you don't get paid for every click - you get paid when Glam decides to throw you a bone, but they haven't paid anyone yet!
Glam might continue to get away with this because bloggers are afraid of being sued. The contract that we signed states that we have to give Glam 90 days notice before removing their ads.
We suggest that everyone who thought they would be receiving .50 a click for Glam ads remove them immediately.
To be fair, they did withdraw our contract without penalty when we requested it a day after signing up.
Once Glam tries to sue us for reporting this, we'll let you know. We're not going to take this down if they threaten us.
Update: One blogger claims to have been paid "not much" in March, but another e-mailed us to ask if we'd been paid, and said "Have you gotten paid yet? Not just told how much you're getting paid, but have you actually gotten paid? I haven't and it's been over a month." We only had Glam ads up for a day, so they're never going to pay us.

I am going away for a four day weekend and will return on Tuesday. In the mean time, check out the gossip sites below. In honor of American Idol, here are some of the past stars of the Google Idol lipsync contest. If you're bored and have headphones at work, Google Idol is totally entertaining.
Back Dormitory Boys do the Backstreet Boys:
Pomme and Kelly do Aretha Franklin:
There's also an entertaining performance from two guys from Austria competing in the webcam competition doing the Backstreet Boys. They're called "Bayrock Company" and are on the google idole homepage now to the top left.
Have a great holiday and I will see you on Tuesday.
If you would like to comment and have it appear right away, please sign up for TypeKey and it will be immediately published. (Unfortunately I use Movable Type to run this blog and comment spam is a problem, so all non-Typekey comments have to be moderated. I would like to switch over to WordPress to fix this soon.)

Our photo host, PhotoBucket, is slow in serving up images today - at least on our end. Hopefully this is temporary thing. Thanks for your patience!
Update: It turns out we were referencing our images wrong, and had to search and replace the links in just about every post. That's why the site was slow for a while. It's fixed now though, thanks!

So someone launched a denial of service attack on my webhost, and the site was down for nearly two hours today. I've recommeded this webhost to several people because it is otherwise fast and the setup was a cinch. Still, this is unacceptable.
We're very sorry for that and appreciate you sticking around, thanks! We have a Paris Hilton story coming up in a minute. I know - you can't wait.

You may have noticed that our posting is a bit light today. Our semi-long holiday drive to relatives took almost twice the time thanks to various accidents and traffic delays. We'll keep digging the gossip dirt over the holiday, although it may be a bit shallower than usual.
In the mean time, please visit our friends online:
- The Bastardly
- Glitterati
- CityRag
- Yeeeah
- DListed
- PopSugar
- Hollywood Rag
- A Socialite's Life
- Egotastic
We also had time to find a few things that you may have missed:
- Have you seen this video of Paris Hilton taking her own picture over and over again? We found it through a YouTube search and imagine it will be popular soon.
- Mariah Carey's upskirt without underwear photos (seriously) are also a must-see.
- Jennifer Garner is going to get naked for a new film, but we don't have pictures of it yet.
- Nicole Richie has now turned two men (that we know of) into premature ejaculators.
For more news, you can page through the entries again using the links at the bottom of the page. Thanks!

We added a new "In Brief" section for quick news items yesterday. A new column to the right of the main pages features the In Brief stories. Let us know if you like the new section and if the site remains easy to navigate.
There were issues earlier today with the Movable Type plugin that creates the page breaks for the site, and you may have noticed that the site was having problems. Until the issues are fixed, the page-based navigation will be on a break. You can still see older posts by using the Archives and choosing the current month archive.
We're sorry about that and will continue to work on restoring the page feature. Thanks!
