Below are some famous movie stars, and musicians who use blogging to communicate with there fans. Blogging is a great way to recieve and give feedback regarding many celebrities career ventures. If you know of a celebrity, submit it to us and we will be happy to add it to our list.

• Wil Wheaton
So who's Wil Wheaton? Remember the main character from Stand by Me who pulls a gun on a bullying Keifer Sutherland at the end? Yeah, yeah, the kid who went on to play that spacey wunderkind Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Oh, that Wil Wheaton. A blogger since 2001, he updates more or less daily with whatever is on his mind, from the personal to the political. Who wants to read it? You'd be surprised. The site served up some 3 million pages in March alone. The project has led Wheaton to write a forthcoming book titled Just a Geek, which grew directly from the material on the blog.

• Moby
Take or leave his music, his stance on animal rights and the fact that he's a vegan, the musician Moby at least makes a consistent effort to communicate with his many fans. Recent postings--made while on tour in Australia--tend to focus on geopolitical events but often include the kind of behind-the-scenes details that obsessive fans live for. Take this gem from October 2002: " it's 5:30 a.m., we're parked in the rain in a parking lot in zurich and everyone is asleep on the bus except for me. and someone on the bus is snoring so loudly that the floor under my feet is vibrating. i kid you not."

• William Gibson
It shouldn't surprise anyone that the man who coined the word "cyberspace" is blogging. He's been at it since January, posting to a site hosted by his publisher, Ace Books, an imprint of Pearson's Penguin Putnam. Gibson is particularly fascinated with how the war in Iraq has pushed blogging into the Web mainstream. "It's one of those things that has jumped out of cyberspace and landed in everyone's lap.... To some tiny degree it changes everything, and that is sort of my stock in trade, understanding how technology changes things in unanticipated ways." Still busy with promotional activities surrounding his latest novel, Pattern Recognition, he says he expects the blog to go on hiatus when he starts writing his next book. "I can't imagine blogging in the same ecology as seriously working on a novel," he says. "It's sort of like lifting the lid on a kettle when trying to boil water. You get a nice puff of steam, but it never comes to a roiling boil."

• Barbra Streisand
You know you're making waves when Matt Drudge singles you out for ridicule. Singer, actress, film director and self-styled liberal activist Barbra Streisand has never been short of opinions. Her flare-up with Drudge started in September when she sent a memo to U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt concerning the possibility of war with Iraq that was full of misspellings. Drudge pounced in his inimitable way and in the following days hammered away at Streisand. The "Thoughts" section contains her latest cries against the war in Iraq and President Bush, while her Truth Alert section contains responses to barbs from the likes of Drudge and gossip columnist Richard Johnson of The New York Post. There's enough here for Streisand's fans and foes alike to enjoy, though it would be much more fun if she posted more frequently.

• Dave Berry
Don't get enough of funnyman Dave Barry from your local newspaper? There's more where that came from. Barry's blog consists mostly of links to weirdness on the Web, delivered with a typically Barry-esque one-liner introduction. It's updated several times a day. Example: "I am calling on the entire population of the world to drop whatever it is doing and join the urgent search for Cher's wig," he wrote following news that the singer's headpiece had been stolen after a performance in Richmond, Va. Barry's sophomoric humor is good for about 8,000 visits a day.

• No Doubt
With the return of the punks in the mid-'90s came a resurgence of their slightly more commercial rivals, new wave bands. No Doubt found a niche as a new wave/ska band, on the strength of vocalist Gwen Stefani's persona -- alternately an embrace of little-girl-lost innocence and riot grrl feminism.

Rob Zombieis a solo singer and formerly the lead singer of the heavy metal group, White Zombie. With his dreadlocks, gruff vocal style and fascination with B-movies, he has become a distinctive element in American heavy metal. He is probably best known as founder, lead singer and songwriter for White Zombie, as well as being a solo artist in his own right. However, in recent years he began directing movies and videos, including his debut horror exploitaion feature, House of 1000 Corpses, and its sequel, "The Devil's Rejects", released July 22nd, 2005.
