Is It Any Good?
Perez Hilton doesn't completely abandon his mean-girl persona on his new fashion blog COCOPEREZ, but he's definitely toned down the snark, the sex, and the swearing. Heavy on photos and light on text, the blog could be fun for serious fashionistas who must know who wore what, where. Hilton says he wants to "break a lot of fashion and celebrity-related stories," but so far, there's nothing really juicy or unique about the site.

Families can talk about images of celebs and models in fashion magazines. CocoPerez criticizes Self magazine for heavily airbrushing a photo of Kelly Clarkson, saying that altering images makes women compare themselves to an unattainable standard. What do you think about airbrushing? Is it hypocritical for CocoPerez to call out celebs for being too thin, too "skanky," etc.?
Families can talk about our obsession with celebrities. How have blogs changed the way we talk about celebs? What's the appeal of sites that cover stars' fashion flops, failed relationships, or run-ins with the law?
