Homorazzi

The gossip / entertainment website focusses on celebrities, interviews, television recaps, movie reviews, gay issues, fashion, and more. The name of the site is a play on words, as all of the writers are gay and they focus a lot on celebrities, as do the "paparazzi". The tagline for the site is "where homes judge everything," capturing their tongue & cheek approach to entertaining their readers. Celebrities love the catchy name and singer Luciana even said she wanted to use the word in a song after hearing it. As it stands, the blog is the most popular gay blog in Canada and among some of the top gay entertainment blogs in North America.
