If you want to get a new blog off the ground in a hurry, it's going to be pretty hard to beat Scandalist, which offers what may be the ultimate Web linkbait: The Top 100 Celebrity Scandals Of All Time. And because they are in reverse order, it will take a few page hits to get to the top five:
5: Michael Jackson Molestation Charges 4: O.J. Simpson Murder Trial 3: Princess Diana Dies In Car Crash 2: The Monica Lewinsky Affair 1: The Murders Of Notorious B.I.G. And Tupac
OK, I cheated by taking them off the press release.
It's a VH1 site.
"After taking a look at how quickly we were able to grow the VH1 Blog on VH1.com, we decided to look at ways we could go deeper with our blog coverage of pop culture and our VH1 shows and events separately," said Tom Calderone, President, VH1. "With a dedicated staff of writers, Scandalist.com will serve as a distinct, yet complimentary site for fans of pop culture, entertainment news and all things celebrity."
It's American, so no Profumo scandal etc.
