My blog gives me an outlet to ramble on about all of the useless pop culture trivia and celeb gossip that seem to pile up in my brain. I’m full of snark for those who deserve it (usually the young Hollywood Firecrotches) but full of syrupy sweetness for those people, places and things that make life worth living.
What haven’t I done for a living? My professional life is boring, so I’m pursuing more freelance writing opportunities.
I’ve always been fascinated with pop culture, and I’m able to retain that kind of information really well, often without even trying! Real life can be tough, and talking about music or movies or what crazy Britney is doing is just a great escape – for me AND my readers.
A little over 2 years.
Wow, I really don’t know…and I check my StatCounter quite often! I’m sure it’s under 50 readers per day, but I usually just pay attention to how many comments I get. I don’t think I’ve ever cracked 30 comments on any one post, but that’s fine with me. Sure, I’d love for my blog to become hugely popular but then I probably wouldn’t have time to really interact with the folks on my blogroll, and that’s part of the fun of doing this.
If my blog has an income, it’s been hiding that info from me!
I think anyone who gets a kick out of the absurdity of our culture’s fascination with fame and fortune, music fans, couch potatoes and people obsessed with John Travolta would enjoy my blog. Those who don’t get or don’t enjoy sarcasm probably wouldn’t dig it.
On average, it’s probably around an hour or so. There have been days where I’ve been blogging and when I look at the clock, I realize that something like 4 hours have flown by! Then, of course, there are days when I don’t blog at all. Bad, bad me. But I just blame it on the celebs being boring.
Because I don’t focus on the same stories that all the other pop culture blogs do. Sure, I try to stay on top of all the latest happenings and give my take on them, but sometimes I get sick of reporting on Paris Hilton’s daily shenanigans. Oh, and I’m funnier than that Pop Candy chick. 
I don’t know that I’m in a position to give advice on that topic…I wouldn’t really consider myself a huge blogging success! I certainly built up my audience over the years, mostly by perusing other blogs as much as possible and commenting on them. That’s the easiest and quickest way of gaining readers. But leave REAL comments. It’s very easy to spot people who just come and leave throwaway remarks in an effort to get more readers to their blogs. That’s annoying and insulting. I’d rather someone not read my blog at all than pretend to read it.

Well said, BeckEye! Your blog is a must-read for me, even if it sometimes makes me spew coffee out of my nose. Actually I secretly enjoy those times.
I’ve pretended to read your blog for years and then actually gone back and read it. Hey, it’s pretty excellent!!
She’s great, she’s adorable … and she’s Tilbrook-delusional.
She is all these things and more. But she can be threatening.
Great site! I read it every day and I just may comment one of these days!
I want to be BeckEye when I grow up …
I love this blog. Some day I want to win a firecrotch award of some kind. I think.
Remind me to vote again tomorrow. Dale is 2 ahead of you for my votes, time to catch you up !!
I’ve been negligent in my voting but I’m making up for it now!
I voted!
She’s witty and loves Squeeze and the Finns!!
She’s an all-seeing pop culture oracle and goddess.
Two thumbs up from me.
I’m voting for you as hard as I can and that sob Dale is still whupping both our asses. Maybe I should stop voting for him as well.
Admit it Barbara, you’re enjoying the whupping a little bit.
There’s that last one for good measure Beckeye! Next month its yours!
I voted! Yay!
This is your month, babe! Beckeye needs a laser pointer!
Now you’re tied with the dumbass!
I heard that Bluez!
And as I was saying to Barbara, how does the #1 blog so far, on the 3rd of October, have 86 positive votes? Hmmm.
Love the Pop Eye! Great music and recaps on all the crap, I mean, fine television I like to watch.
Anyone who loves Grease can’t be all bad….by the way CP wouldn’t rest until we took him to Grease. I think he was about 11.
Hey, probably I am being some how off topic here, nonetheless I had been checking your website and it seems outstanding!. I’m building a web site and attempting to make it appear clean, however every single time I touch it I screw something up. Did you build and style the website by yourself? Can anbody with very little technical knowleadge do it, as well as add updates without messing it up? Anyway, info on here, extremely helpful.
girls usually love to hear celebrity gossips, they are always into it ~*~
