Beverly D'Angelo. I'm really into her and I've heard her on podcasts and she's 100% at least visted DL many, many times. She loves talking about old Hollywood on these podcasts and whenever she does she has to get online right away and look things up. She's always talking about how she spends a lot of time doing "research".

Andy Cohen has made the mistake of admitting he reads DL when his name comes up, and since he has blabbered about it on TV, you can be certain that he has shown posts to Anderson Cooper, Kelly Ripa, SJP and their whole vile circle of media opportunists.

He’s not a celebrity except on DataLounge—and that is precisely why Aaron Schock reads and posts. So he can pretend he’s a STAH, DAHLING!

Possibly but I doubt it, R62. The people who come here to talk trash about whatever celebrity they're obsessed with IMAGINE their celebrity has come here to specifically rage against their posts, but it's highly unlikely.

In the Tig Notaro case, however, the lady who has been harassing Tig in real life used to come here constantly and post with sockpuppets and say ridiculous things, and because she's been taken to course, it's possible that Tig's attorneys or publicists contacted DL because of what was said. Threats and doxxing, mostly. So that's one case where, if I heard DL was asked to remove threads, I might actually believe it.

Yeah, again, you WISH the person you were obsessively hating on saw your comments on Datalounge, but it's hardly likely.

The few times I've waded into the cesspool of Daily Mail comments, I've seen tons of comments that were almost carbon copies of what had been posted over here. Any royal PR folks who were following online comments would be far more likely to see those than anything on DL.

I don't think she posts anymore. That was years ago, back when we had WomanOnTheVerge and other celebrity and celebrity-adjacent posters.

If you follow any B- or C-list gays or drag queens online, you can tell they know of Datalounge, but most don't care for it. I've seen probably 10 mentions of it over the last couple of years, always without mentioning the name itself (because saying "Datalounge" on Twitter will bring out the trolls), and always with people complaining about how the board is just for right-wing bigots. Which it basically is nowadays. It wasn't always like this, though.

Talent agencies have their own troll farm departments (aka interns) to defend their clients' public image.

There are ego maniacs who also have their personal assistants track the internet and social media for threats to their bread and butter, their public image.

Then, of course, there are B-D List celebs who have an app on their devices that alert them when their names are being mentioned, or they post stuff about themselves on the internet as an attempt to generate (new) interest.

I'm going to disagree with Muriel, DL may have not been busier but it was more interesting. There were more threads that held attention and went on for a while.

Let's Roll Cinnamon Rolls, Dialing A Phone With A Pencil, Satan From The Desk Of Ben Affleck, the ABC insider, Blue Agave, lots of threads and individuals that came where to spill the gossip. Maybe it wasn't constant but it was frequent.

I think part of the problem is that we have lost a lot of the community who liked to engage. So much bullshit has gone on with a flood of homophobes and racists posting here I think it drove people away. It got really bad at a certain point.

R105, we know she has at least visited here because she said in an ancient "Planet Out" interview that this was one of the sites she visited. There was even a thread about it.

[quote]Nope. "insiders" do not post here. They do not post anywhere..... Gossip by "insiders" is really just the 10,000 typing monkeys re-invent Shakespeare syndrome. Sometimes the random typing monkey is right.

R135 / R139 "Insiders" aren't the "celebs" themselves. They're people dropping gossip. Celebrities definitely know this place exists and many have seen it but they're not necessarily telling anyone their business.

Since this place comes up on both Google and Google Alerts, it's kind of silly to think a celeb might not have clicked here at some point while searching themselves.

Hell, there was one soap opera gay actor who not only responded to questions in the thread about him but posted on his verified Twitter that he was here answering questions. His name escapes me. Luckily people were nice in the thread just asking what he'd been up to. This, however, was a long time ago.

Earlier in the year I went back to an old thread about an actress allegedly getting a divorce from 10 years ago that was full. Just for fun I read through it to see how much of it turned out to be right: none of it. She's still married, still working with people they said she hated, etc.

Then I went to another thread about an actor and maybe two items from someone who claimed to know them were present and they turned out to be true. Like you said, 1%.

[quote]God, the place is filled with bitter old queens of all ages who think simple cruelty is wit and with anti-Semites

The amount of antisemitism and racism towards black people is new, although I blame the President. However, as someone that was here as a teen back in the late 90s the DLers have always been older and sometimes cruel. "Delightful bitchiness" is present much less but that's always been around to some degree. Boards like this don't really exist anymore.

An actor would probably be too busy while filming a movie or, especially, during the filming of a TV series, but what do they do the rest of the time? Some publicity. Some award shows. Some charity events. They have lots of free time when they're not working, which is why they get into so much trouble.

Yes, they are. Antoni from Queer Eye went into detail about his manager telling him to avoid all internet comments. Just don't read them at all. Of course he did anyway. Not only did he do that but he said people that he knows will send him things about him.

Celebrities have the same access to the internet as we do and if Andy and Anderson have openly complained about Datalounge (which they have) then you can bet the people in their inner and distant circles know about it too. Hell, when LPSG had their big Broadway nudes leak gate they learned the hard way that the people they were posting did know about the site.

Gay sites aren't big secrets because there are so few of them.
