Please post any celeblogs I've missed in the comment section. (I'll get you started at the top of the comment string below.)

And don't forget to sign up for the free Alternative Source podcast.

the following pairings did not make it out of the prelims this year, but remain in contention for 2007:

Katie Couric's Couric & Co. v. Brian Williams' The Daily Nightly
Judges' comment: Brian not only beats Katie in the ratings, he outblogs her, too.

Mark Cuban's Blog Maverick v. Donald Trump's The Trump Blog
Judges' comment: Cuban's an active, insightful blogger. Trump Blog, you're fired.

Asia Carrera's Asia's Bulletins v. Jenna Jameson's MySpace Blog v. Ron Jeremy's MySpace Blog
Judges' comment: Carrera’s site is harder on the eyes than Ron "The Hedgehog" Jeremy. But her raw confessional style beats out her porn-star pals.

Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell's Access Hollywood Show Blogs v. Robin Leach's Luxe Life
Judges' comment: Leach interjects more personal asides into his posts, so we'll go Luxe.

Gillian Anderson's Messages From Gillian v. David Duchovny's Lionsgate Directors Blog
Judges' comment: Forget the blogging, just get busy on that "X-Files" sequel already.

Judges' comment: When did Smashing Pumpkins get back together?
