Celebrities might not be very bright, but they’re all quickly realizing that it’s a waste of money to pay publicists to maintain their image when they can do it themselves for free on MySpace.

So when pictures of Khloe Kardashian wearing fur emerged right after her PETA ad debuted, she took to her blog to explain that she did once wear fur but that PETA made her see the error of her ways. The public forgave her and quickly went back to forgetting who she is.

Jermaine Dupre recently blogged to assure us that he and Janet Jackson are still together, and that she is not pregnant. When rumors started swirling that no one wanted the Wentz baby pictures, Pete cleared them up via his blog stating that they didn’t wanna “pimp out the baby.” Katy Perry also debunked rumors that she got engaged to her Gym Class Heroes boyfriend. We’re still waiting for the blog entry where she admits she’s a tranny.

Of course, not all celebrities are interested in rumor control; some blog just for the hell of it. Like The Office’s Jenna Fischer, who will often blog when she has a long scene behind her desk to give us adorable behind the scenes tidbits.

Lindsay Lohan uses her blog to “embaress” herself repeatedly with her impressive command of the English language and her excessive reminders that she’s dating Samantha Ronson. Hey, Fatal Attraction, how about a little less pussy and a little more grammar?

Courtney Love blogs to remind us that although Amy Winehouse is currently more popular, she shouldn’t be ruled out as biggest trainwreck of our generation…and to remind Lohan that there are people out there more illiterate than her.

Some celebs, like a bunch of Disney stars that no one cares about, use their blogs to feud and diss other people, the way we all did when we were 15.

And of course, Kanye, the king of the douchebags, blogs because he loves attention and because if no one else is going to proclaim him the voice of our generation, then dammit, he has to find a way to do it himself. 

Even 92-year-old Kirk Douglas has a blog. This trend looks like it’s here to stay and we can’t get enough. Blogs make celebrities appear more relatable and make us regular people feel a lot better about ourselves.
