Box Office Mojo - provides everything you want to know about box office business, by the numbers and through charts, including domestic and international grosses, box office forecasts, theater counts, and (of course) movie news.
CNN.com Showbiz Today - Hollywood heavyweights consider the broadcast version the most credible entertainment news shows on the air. Their website mirrors the show's honest reporting.
E! OnLine - "entertainment's home page" tm. The downside of E! OnLine is an excess of pop-up ads, but we always go back because they provide great entertainment biz coverage and Ted Casablanca's Awful Truth, is the place for celeb gossip.
ExtraTV.com - the online spin-off of the popular television program, ExtraTV.com offers lots of gabby goodness
Fandango - Fandango is the fastest-growing movie-ticketing company in the U.S., and is transforming your

new moviegoing enhancements with print-at-home tickets, express theater and concession lines & more.
Film.com - movie reviews, news, trailers, and more
Gold Derby - Goldderby.com is / was an online 'racetrack' where expert pundits and amateur fans gather to figure
out who's going to win the top showbiz awards. Watch from the sidelines or enter the forums, either way join the fun!

MegaStar - U.K. site that "takes an irreverent look at the world whilst offering the best coverage of the MegaBabes. Megastar delivers the latest news from the world of TV, Entertainment, Cinema and Music - regularly reviewing (in it's own unmistakable style) all the new releases before they hit the screens, bringing you music reviews before the CD's hit the shops and plenty of eye candy that will have you seeing stars."
Movieline.com - online version of Hollywood Life magazine that primarily focuses on Young Hollywood.
MrShowbiz - unfortunately Mr. Showbiz and the Box Office Swami 'retired' in November 2001. The site was taken over by ABCNews.com, and now links to Movies.com.
Page Six - dishes on the New York celebrity scene.
People - always an entertaining source for celebrity pictures and entertainment (may be available only to AOL subscribers).

The Celebrity Cafe.com - Interviews with your favorite musicians, celebrities, actors, authors, and athletes.... contests, trivia, games and more
The Envelope - created in November 2005, this new site bills itself as the ultimate online awards resource for the entertainment industry, dedicated enthusiasts and casual fans. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... . Well, if only we were so lucky to merge with a powerhouse like the L.A. Times : > )
The Sun Online - a U.K. tabloid's online offerings of real life and bizarre twists
TV.com - (formerly TVTome.com, now associated with CNET networks) TV.com covers just about every show, episode, actor, line, opinion, bit of trivia, and programming option on television.
Upcoming Movies.com - We were going to recommend CHUD (Cinematic Happenings Under Development) but with it's cramped style and tiny font, found it much too hard to navigate. In sharp contrast, with it's simple style and sharp fonts, is Upcomingmovies.com. It's also consistently current, bears little advertisments and NO POP UP ADS (so annoying!). Best of all, finding information about current movie projects is so easy, the site map could be used as the blueprint for "Designing Website Navigation for Dummies." UPDATE: Lucky Greg partnered with Yahoo! Movies and the revamped site is now known as Greg's Previews.
USA Today - links to the 'LIFE' section which covers movies, television, celebs & other things that entertain us
Variety - Variety Magazine provides a wrap-up of worldwide entertainment news and is often considered the industry's 'bible,' however in 2001 the online site started limiting access to articles unless you are a 'subscriber' (tip: take advantage of their free 30 day subscriptions).
