Samantha is a longtime gossip reader/first time blogger. Along with pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, she enjoys summer weekends on her boat, traveling to places she’s never been, any drink involving vodka, and the love of her life, her Cabana Boy. Sam has an undying girl crush on Scarlett Johansson, adores anything Bill Murray or Steve Martin has ever done, and listening to any song by Brandon Flowers and/or The Killers on repeat - to the point you’ll want to punch her in the face the moment “Read My Mind” queues up yet again. Her current favorite TV obsession is “Once Upon a Time,” as you’ll see from her numerous posts on it. Sam loathes anything to do with Kim Kartrashian/Kris Jenner and Lindsay/Dina Lohan. She wishes nothing more than to have them drop off the face of E!/the Earth so she’d never write another sentence referencing a golden shower during an infamous superstar sex tape or mother/daughter bonding time occurring over whiskey shots and an 8-ball in an L.A. nightclub bathroom. In Spring 2011, Sam and her business partner and friend Erika started up celebritygossip.us. Over the summer, the pair moved their popular blog to www.celebgossip.com. By late 2011, the girls had spun off two more celebrity-related sites: www.celebtweets.com and www.celebmugshots.com. View all posts by Sam →
