Happy New Year

2016 is out the door. 2016 also marked a decade doing the blog. What started out as a few paragraphs M-F at 920am or as close as I could get to now being 24/7/365 and starting out at 6am, I love it just as much as I did back then. Honestly, I probably love it more. Back in the day it was a struggle to find the time and I was being pulled in a million directions. Going through reader photos this month from the past decade brought back a lot of memories. Not so much the faces, but all the names and identities that bring back vivid memories. Some of those names are still around and others drift in and out like the tide. Each person that has read the site or contributed or e-mailed me or sent me a tip or a criticism, all have made the site better. I am feeling very reflective today. I guess it could be the long night of drinking followed by the short night of rest. I think a lot of it though is that a decade has passed. Some of those toddlers in pictures from year one are teenagers now and close to maybe reading the site themselves. This year I want to interact more with everyone. Do more on Facebook and Twitter. Try and do some birthdays. I miss doing them. Plus, it is always a bonus when you can creep on the Facebook pages of all of you and then seeing what rabbit holes you find.

Speaking of Facebook, I have a personal page which is here and then there is fan page which is here. The fan page is way better than mine.

I love when you send me e-mails. If you click on the contact form, and want me to write you back, you should leave an e-mail. I am going to fix the labeling system in the next couple of weeks. I want to be able to click on a label and see everything related to it.  I want to change the comment system so people can mute people they don't want to see, but it may mean losing comments from the first five years of the site and I'm still weighing that one. Any feedback is welcome either via e-mail, Twitter or Facebook.

I want to be sure to thank Mr. X because I forgot in July and that has been bothering me ever since. I want to thank the dedicated people who make sure they send me every bit of information about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Hell, it is probably Blake & Ryan sending in half the stuff. The nice things anyway.

As always, if you need to get more of your blind items fix in or want to check through hundreds of thousands of blind items, I suggest you go to AGC who are the best.

I would be remiss if I didn't make use of this space to not send you to this page which is the page dedicated to the feature film directorial debut of America Young who has been a friend of this site and a friend of mine forever. Her film is debuting at the Palm Springs Film Festival on January 8th with a repeat showing on January 9th. Even if you can't make the film, if you have been around here forever, stop over at her Twitter or Facebook and tell her congrats.

I hope you and your family and friends have a blessed year but try not to use the #Blessed. I will see you all here tomorrow and each day in 2017.

    I have been here every day for the last 8+ years. I don't say much, but am happy to have the opportunity to let you know how much you are appreciated.
    Happy new year!

    Enty, I've learned so much from you and your site. I also appreciate our (sadly - mostly my fault, I'll admit) infrequent interactions. I found you at a time in my life where I needed an outlet, which you welcomed, and made some great internet acquaintances. *mwah* Thank you for all you've done over the years.

    Thanks and happy 2017 to you, enty. I've been reading this site since the beginning but rarely comment. Regardless of whether there is one enty or a whole team of entys, thank you one and/or all for helping to distract me from work almost every weekday and helping to occupy my mind when insomnia hits. Despite my occasional snark about grammar or the color scheme, I really do enjoy and appreciate the site.

  17. Happy New Year, Enty!
    Great web site! Best Gossip Site on the www!
    Been a fan since....2013(?) (I forget when I found you.)
    Keep up the great work!
    Love reading the Blind Items/Reveals!
    (Readers' comments? Sometimes, they can be trolling. Oh, well.)
    Again, Happy New Year!

  18. I stumbled upon this site four years ago and I've been hooked ever since. I've turned a few friends into this site, and whenever something goes down in Hollywood, I'm always the first one called to see if I've ever read a blind item on it. This is a great blog and I love to check it a few times a day, to distress from the pressures of my job or take a break from being a mom, and it's been great. I've only commented once and I prefer to just be a silent fan. Keep up the great work. I love this site more than words can say and it makes sense that Jennifer Lopez was the artist that doesn't truly sing. As a Puerto Rican multitasker myself, that broke my heart, but me and my friends were just happy that it wasn't Alicia Keys

    Enty I know I give u a hard time on an almost daily basis, but there was a time last year we worked together to get some a-hole off this board and that was the very first time I had interaction with you. Anyhow I know you work hard here to entertain us daily and try to keep this awful webpage functioning. So make sure you know we all appreciate everything you do. Happy New Year!

    I've been here since long before Timmy/Shimmy. Great reveal day...one of the best. Biggest shocker: Sissy Spacek. That was a good one. There were some other surprises, too. Jessica Chastain? Keep on truckin' Enty.

  35. Longtime lurker, sometime poster. Thanks for all you do, Enty. I still remember fondly a few years ago on FB when, out of the blue, you complimented the cake my dad made me for my birthday. Since then we've mostly lost him to dementia, so when that post popped up recently, it made me smile recalling when he could do everyday normal things. Glad you're going back to doing things like that.

    Happy New Year, Enty! Pinky promise I won't used the #Blessed hashtag ever.

    I learned early on from Backstage.com that it's a Hollywood faux pas.

    For whatever reason. LMAO. Smoochies.

    Have an epically good 2017, Enty!

  48. Look Book11:00 PM

    I used to read people and us weekly but I realized most of what is printed in those is fake news. They had a photoshopped picture of 50 year old "pregnant " Janet Jackson in people magazine for christsake! When everyone knows she used a surrogate and didn't want to admit she was quitting her tour due to low ticket sales. I only read cdan, Bg and dl now to get the truth. No more fake news for me. Happy new year!
