Leafing through the Metro the other day I spotted a story about a blog called Gallery of the Absurd.    Very original and rather good, it "illustrates the sordid world of gossip and slander while trying to keep a straight face".

It's the perfect antidote to 'celebrity' trash mags.   I loved it.   The Artist Fourteen is a blogger with a big sense of humour and talent with a pen.   When asked whether she disliked the celebrities she paints she replied "Quite the contrary, I love the celebrites I paint.   They provide me with hours and hours of laughter - such clowns they are".  Spot on I reckon.

The New Yoik Post said of the blog 'hitting the marrow of what is specifically annoying about specific celebrities'.   My sentiments entirely.   Check out the blog on http://galleryoftheabsurd.typepad.com
