Celebrity blogs you should be reading

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 17th 2007 1:40PM

John HodgmanA while back, I showcased some blogs that celebrities were (at the time) keeping. David Duchovny had one for a while, but it was just to promote one of his movies and he stopped it. Zach Braff had one for Garden State, but doesn't update it as much as he used to at his new site (though it's still pretty entertaining). And of course we know that Rosie O'Donnell updates hers, a little too much probably.

But there are other TV celebs who blog too, so it's time for an update. After the jump, a list of some of the better blogs out there.

  • John Hodgman's blog is updated quite a bit. He's the PC Guy in all those Mac ads and resident expert on The Daily Show, but he does a whole lot more too.
  • Al Roker has kept a blog for quite some time, though he hasn't updated it since April.
  • The Huffington Post has a lot of celebs who blog, including Alec Baldwin, Harry Shearer, Bill Maher, and Steven Weber.
  • Meredith Vieira has a blog that is actually updated regularly.
  • B.J. Novak from The Office has a blog on his MySpace page. Not updated a lot but well worth reading.
  • And I think it would be silly not to mention our own Wil Wheaton's blog. It's one of the best.

If you know of any other TV celeb blogs we should be reading, put them in the comments below. We'll have more in a later post.

Good gad ... how could you not mention Spade's blog for "The Showbiz Show".

Granted it's mainly a marketing ploy for the show itself, and I'm assuming most of the posts are likely made by the show's writers, but it's some of the funniest digs at Hollywood you'll find ...

Alyssa Milano, a lifelong Dodgers fan, has a blog at MLB.com. She really knows her stuff, too.

You mention BJ Novak, yet forget the rest of the Office bloggers? For shame. :)

These three update pretty regularly and usually have fantastic Office tidbits:

@megastar_13: Search for "Jane Espenson" on our site and you'll see that we know her and her blog very well.

@Mel: We've quoted Ken Jennings' blog a number of times. He's so much funnier than he ever was on Jeopardy, wasn't he?

Oh! I almost forgot to mention Greg Beeman's blog. He's a director and producers for Heroes, and has posted a reaction post after almost every episode that has aired. He also updated with answers to some viewers' questions during both hiatus breaks in addition to posting some wonderful candid shots of the cast and crew on set:

Jane Espenson (writer extraordinaire on Buffy as well as Angel/Firefly/Gilmore Girls/BSG) has an interesting blog which she informs upcoming writers of tips to writing spec scripts, as well as posting about what she ate for lunch:

Stargate Atlantis actor David Hewlett has a frequently updated (and frequently hilarious) blog about his upcoming movie, stuff on the Stargate set, and other geeky tidbits:
