Nora Ephron has a good post up at HuffPo about why blogging is a good outlet for anyone, including celebrities who could probably get their voices heard in other ways.
I was rather skeptical off HuffPo when it started for a variety of reasons, but one thing I like about it is that it's been very egalitarian. Celebrities do write for them, but so do lots of other people, and their stuff all goes up together.
