It’s easy to get wrapped up in the world of celebrities. There is constant news of romance, breakups, fights, and other interests that keep the gossip interesting and fresh. While there are many ways to keep up with celebrities’ official profiles, sometimes you want a little more dirt. Here are some of the best apps to keep you up to date on your favorite celebs.

Best celebrity gossip mobile apps

10. MTV News

MTV has changed a lot over the years, but for a long time now it has been a consistent and reliable source of celebrity news. While it primarily focuses on teen idols (such as Taylor Swift and One Direction), it also reports on a much larger variety when important news happens.

Social media is where most celebrities go to make important life announcements. All the other sites are just compiling posts made by celebrities, but going to Instagram is going to the source itself. You’ll have to follow a few celebs to get most of the gossip, but most of them love to put their lives on display here (especially with engagement announcements).

8. Twitter

Perhaps the better social media option when deciding to follow celebrities, at least for some. Twitter is just as much the source of celebrity news as Instagram, though usually Twitter tends to be more drama-filled. Even the small updates can lead to intense Twitter feuds, and the network is always keeping you up to date on what’s trending in the news.

7. E! News

E! News

E! is a channel that has a lot of celebrity gossip within the entertainment industry. It mainly focuses on movie stars, singers, and socialites, it is also known to show a variety of trending news. The app lets you see more details of their shows, including the ever-popular “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

6. Apple News

Apple News

Fortunately for iPhone users, this app comes prebuilt into your mobile devices, so you already have it at the tips of your fingers. It is one of the most customizable news apps out there. You’re able to follow any news you want from virtually any reliable source you can think of. This isn’t limited to just celebrity news, as you can use this app to stay up to date on politics, sports, and any other fields of interest you might have.

5. TIME Magazine

Time Magazine

One of the most credible news sources on all subjects, Time has been a reliable source of celebrity news for a long time. Probably the most well known of these are “it” lists of “100 best” movies, music, etc. The app lets you view all of these for free, and stay up to date on any new Time information.

4. Khloé Kardashian Official

Khloe Kardashian

Nothing says celebrity gossip like the Kardashians, and Khloé’s official app keeps true to this. If you plan on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” then this is a great app to have on hand. It lets you see how Khloé lives, and can even bring you closer to looking like her someday (if that’s your thing).

3. TMZ

TMZ

Another popular source for celebrity news, TMZ has its own app with some of the biggest stories out there. Aside from Twitter and Instagram, TMZ is usually one of the primary sources of celebrity gossip, and their app has everything you would hope for it to have. It’s sponsored by ads, making it one of the few reliable news sources to be completely free.

2. Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton

The original celebrity gossip man himself has created a free app that works just like his site does. While somewhat of a controversial figure, Perez is always ready to give the most intimate details on celebrities, and his app is the same way. Longtime fans of his work will be sure to enjoy the familiar format.

1. People Magazine

People

People is well known for being one of the most reliable sources of celebrity news. In fact, it’s difficult to compare it to the gossip that most sites share, as they mostly only write on factual events, instead of speculation. That being said, they are one of the few news sources you still have to pay for, though their credibility can forgive this factor.

There’s actually more celebrity news apps then you may think, as our Softonic Solutions community has listed even more great apps to try. You can even suggest your own if you think a great one is missing from the list!
