And I don’t mean pseudoblogs, where they claim to be a blog, but the celeb posts once a month “it was really great seeing so many fans on the last tour,” etc., and the entry is probably written by a staffer. I mean real blogs, where they post once a week off-the-cuff. I don’t really know of any myself. Just wondering who does. If you know of any, post a link. It doesn’t have to be movie stars or rock stars. Anyone famous. ---

Margaret Cho, Henry Rollins, Fatboy Slim (actually, Norman’s page was recently remodeled and I think the blog was deleted), Alex Cox, and Bowling For Soup are all I can think of, and I don’t have linkies, I just found them through random surfing. ---

He’s not super-duper famous, but [Jake Fogelnest](http://www.livejournal.com/users/jakefogelnest/) is pretty darn cool. ---

This is close to what you want, because the actor who plays Gandalf did a regular diary (and answered questions frequently) about filming the Lord of the Rings. Interestingly he also claims to have inside information about X-Men 1 + 2. Yeah, right. :rolleyes: [http://www.mckellen.com/](http://www.mckellen.com/) ---
