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.

We have company coming and have take the rest of the day off. We only wish we were going to a spa. Maybe next weekend if my husband gets the hint.

There’s not a lot going on today:

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.

We fixed the site pagination this weekend, added some ads, and upgraded our hosting package.

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!
