A Boldface Name Invites Others to Blog With Her
Looks like Arianna Huffington is actually going to make a go of blogging by hosting a web site where 250 of her celebrity friends can post.
She has lined up more than 250 of what she calls "the most creative minds" in the country to write a group blog that will range over topics from politics and entertainment to sports and religion. It is essentially a nonstop virtual talk show that will be part of a Web site that will also serve up breaking news around the clock. It is to be introduced May 9.

Having prominent people join the blogosphere, Ms. Huffington said in an interview, "is an affirmation of its success and will only enrich and strengthen its impact on the national conversation." Among those signed up to contribute are Walter Cronkite, David Mamet, Nora Ephron, Warren Beatty, James Fallows, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., Maggie Gyllenhaal, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Diane Keaton, Norman Mailer and Mortimer B. Zuckerman.
Watch this space: www.huffintonpost.com Although she claims the site will be neither left nor right, I have a hard time believing that given even the short list above.


And why oh why can I not sleep tonight?? Sigh......
