But I've recently realized that it's not that the subject matter isn't interesting. Young, gorgeous, obscenely rich, completely unself-aware people making a spectacle of themselves—it tittilates, it fascinates, it appals.
The gofugyourself web site does the celebrity fashion dishing thing, and does it brilliantly. The site is simply one of the most entertaining things online. Heather and Jessica are great writers. They're consistently funny, and they're not—as many critics wrongly claim—one-dimesionally catty bitches.
Of course, they can be both catty and bitchy when the situation calls for it, which it so often does, but there's really a pretty menschy humanity beneath it—they can, in fact, say nice things—that makes them all the funnier when they go bitchy.
Heather and Jessica are pretty much always "on," but there are some actresses/celebrities/whatever who really wind them up. Lindsay Lohan is my personal favorite, but they're also great with Britney and the Simpson sisters.
