Maverick owner and Billionaire [Mark Cuban](http://www.blogmaverick.com/) has a blog. It’s pretty interesting too. A lot of his take on technology. Humor columnist [Dave Barry’s blog](http://weblog.herald.com/column/davebarry/)is a good read. ---

Limp Bizkit frontman [Fred Durst](http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=americanalien) has a Xanga page. English-speaking Japanese pop star Crystal Kay has an [account](http://www.funhi.com/1/profile.asp?id=6326) on [www.funhi.com](http://www.funhi.com), where she keeps a journal. Many Korean celebrities keep diaries and photoblogs and communicate with their fans on the insanely popular (in Korea, anyway) Cyworld online community. ---

> [@](#): > > . . . he (Gaiman) mentioned the Lord of the Rings thread . . . That’s not the only time he’s mentioned the Straight Dope. Apparently he uses (used?) the boards to check information. His mention is what got me started, too. Before that I had seen the books, but not thought to look for a website. ---

Before that I had seen the books, but not thought to look for a website. I wonder if he posts here? I sure as hell wouldn’t admit it on these boards if I were famous, but maybe he’s reading this.
