Celebrity Blogging

We all know that celebrity blogs are some of the most popular sites on the net. The celebrities use their blogs to discuss and promote their films. And the most popular blogs are of Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. They've used their sites to promote their upcoming films, and now some other celebrities, inspired by the two, have started their own sites.

The first name is Lara Dutta, who recently started her own site: http://mylaradutta.com/, which she told that will contain news, gossip and stories about her and her films. And inspired by Lara, another person coming in the net world is Celina Jaitley, whom you can find at http://mycelinajaitley.com/. Kareena Kapoor was about to start her very own site, but because of some problem, it got delayed.

Now that's not the point of my post. The point is - all the celebrities use their blogs just to promote their films, not to interact with the fans or to make some friends. Aamir remembers of his blog when his film is about to release. He wrote many posts on the release of Taare Zameen Par as well as Ghajini. But after that, he was just disappeared from his site.

Karan Johar also owns a blog. You can visit his blog and see the updates - the last one was in November. He is, perhaps, busy in the production/direction of My Name Is Khan. I am sure when the film will be releasing, he'll suddenly come back with, "Oh, I am sorry for not blogging for quite a while"! When Dostana was released, Karan wrote a long ('long' did I say?) post on it. And one excerpt:

The “Dostana” website is up (http://www.dostanathefilm.com) and can also be linked via the main Dharma Productions website. Also, the music released today. Again I would love to hear what you think of the soundtrack once you give it a listen.

All actors say they don't use their sites in marketing, but their saying is not the truth, is it? These were, of course, my thoughts. But I'd like to know yours; what do you think about celebrity blogging?
