Taking the mighty down one line at a time

The positioning statement for the Defamer, says it all. “LA is the world's cultural capital.This is the gossip rag it deserves.”

And with that you will discover a delicious website dedicated to nothing but the foibles and fables of those that give the likes of Entertainment Tonight a reason to live.

While rattling around the Google News options I stumbled across the site today, intrigued by a blurb about Donald Trump’s recent appearance on Larry King and his declared admiration for Kevin Federline (K-Fed to his posse, Mr. Spears to his bankers and lawyers) and how he thought that Angelina Jolie was lacking in beauty. This made me wonder how Mr. Trump ever became so rich with such sage thoughts, but I quickly lost interest in The Donald, overcome with a bounty of other more worthwhile material to ponder

The Defamer is bold and brassy as they say, not afraid to take shots at the major players in the infotainment world which rules our lives it seems. They do a wonderful job of roasting those that frequently take the level of over exposure past the expiry date.

There are numerous video clips to look at, dishy details of scandal to come and a pretty wicked sense of humour to go with it all. The Tickle Me Elmo sex scandal and their mining of material that turns up such gems as David Zuckers helpful ads for Republicans, is indicative of the edginess of some of their stuff.

Other features include out takes for Hollywood movies and TV shows and inside information on many of the faves of the paparazzi, all of which give the site that sense of insider status that few of us could ever hope to achieve.

You browse it a few times and you’ll be bookmarking it in no time!

For those that don’t, we’ll be adding a link for it to our features on the right hand side of this blog.
