As 2007 comes to an end, I’ve decided to come up with a few lists of a few different things bloggers I think you may find interesting.  For further information, be sure to read the disclaimer at the end.

This is the internet.  I need to be entertained.  Whether it be from a blog with a humorous slant to the world or a blog that deals in the actual entertainment industry.  I definitely need a good chuckle and snort every now and then as well as the inside scoop on what will be showing across the silver screen.  I’m sure you do as well.  So I give you the 10 Most Entertaining Bloggers that I have read this year…

There are quite a few people who would be turned off by a header of Hitler sitting next to someone eating ice cream… until you realize that the person eating the ice cream is the same person writing this blog… and anyone who has had ice cream with Hitler MUST have something profound to say.  Eh, not so much.  Yet what Avitable does say is both interesting and more importantly funny… as in The Day The Laughter Died funny.  Not G rated funny… but not quite NC-17 rated funny.  Unless you look at his smilies.  Or his Seaworld videos.  This is entertainment at its finest.

The newspaper industry had Hearst… the blogosphere has Mr. Fabulous.  As the king of the Pointless Media Empire (his blog, his radio show, and yet another blog) his daily goal is to keep the chanting of his name to a low roar.  While the closest comparison one can make would be to Howard Stern… it hardly seems fair since Fab is for free and there are an awful lot more inbred people out there than paying customers of satellite radio.  Rumor has it that he is currently poised to take over the universe with an army of sculpey soldiers, therefore this threat as a menace to normality should not be taken lightly. (No, I am not calling you fat, okay there pot Fab?)

Storytelling is the artform that blogging is derived from.  It’s one thing to be a good blogger… it’s another thing to be a master of storytelling.  Dave from Blogography is just that, a master of a craft that has been around since the first flames of fire flickered for the cave man as he drew on the walls of his rock dwelling.  Sure our habitats have gotten better over the last millennium or two, and our walls are now bits and bytes in an ethereal electronic realm, but storytelling remains the focus of much of our entertainment.  Dave’s harrowing tales of travel and his illustrations of the society we have become come to life in a way that not only entertains but educates.  Because in the end… it really is the fault of the monkey.

Original.  Quirky.  Intense.  Three words that can be used to describe one of the most underrated and most entertaining bloggers out there… Poppy Cedes.  Seemingly to have just stepped out of a John Hughes movie, Poppy delivers the goods with a very dry (often sarcastic) sense of humor, a taste for le’geek, and with the critical eye of an expert film connoisseur.  One of the reasons she is so entertaining, is because beneath it all, you know that this is a real person and not some figment of a writer’s imagination (I have video evidence of this) thought up to lure you into the dark underside of cultish society where the good guys wear black, and the bad guys get the girl.

You would think that a blog called Jestertunes would be a barrel of laughs, right?  Well it is!  Although Jester is not like your average humor blogger.  In fact I’m not even sure you would consider him a humor blogger.  He is more of your musically inclined variety blogger (variety being the spice of life people… unless you’re on Arakis) with a very unique way of looking at things that can be humorous if looked at a certain way.  His uniqueness is by far one of his most endearing qualities.

Blogging and therapy have pretty much been hand in hand since the beginning.  So it really isn’t a surprise that with the rise of video, Midnight Therapy With Crystal mashes all three together, three times a week, and averaging for about three minutes long.  She’s like the holy trinity rolled into one for all us netizens.  The only thing that makes me sad is that she doesn’t have a podcast setup… because this is one show I would definitely take on the road with me for instant therapeutic relief.  It’s like Icy Hot for the soul.

Rockyjay is one of those blogs I have been reading for what seems like an eternity.  Still… he’s entertaining as all hell.  While he is more of a Maxim style blog, which most females possibly wouldn’t be able to appreciate, being a man he does really swell by me.  His taste is rather exquisite when it comes to the fairer sex, and some of his tales may seem outlandish unless you are partying like a rockstar.  All in all its good and (mostly) clean fun.

Why peruse the corporate entertainment blogs and have to wade through all the Britney Spears crap when any and all geektastic entertainment news can be found at Geeks of Doom?  Right, there really is no reason.  Thanks to them, I’ve been kept pretty caught up on all the things I want to be, like Hellboy II and The Dark Knight.  Their book and comic reviews are also insightful, and I’ve found a few new good reads from them.  Geeketainment has never been reported on better.

You know I could not leave out the home of the LOLCATS… I Can Has Cheezeburger? offers me daily moments of joy using pretty kitties in unusual circumstances with a humorous twist.  Want to Lolspeak?  The easiest way is to translate English to Japanese… and then Japanese back to English.  My favorite?  That would be o,hai,Dave… for reasons that may not be so obvious.  It’s always the simplest things that gives us the biggest kicks, right?

I have a serious problem when it comes to watching television shows on a regular basis.  Luckily, I have Its All Fluff.  This blog is written by alot of my favorite everyday bloggers… only here they really aren’t bloggers… they’re Fluffers.  I’ve actually been a fan since its first incarnation, and continue to enjoy reading their episode recaps of all the goodness that is on television that I totally miss.  Thankfully, they don’t create a mess like some other Fluff I know.

Since this is entertainment, in the finest tradition of the rockingest band in all of rock, Spinal Tap, the listed has been placed to 11… because we can.

Did you know that 65% of people like sex, and 90% of people like cereal?  Yes folks, cereal is more popular than fornication!  With a broad appeal, Cereal Wednesday is as entertaining into breakfast foods as it gets.  Every Wednesday its a different review of a different cereal.  There are special guests, surprise endings, and even the occasional daring stunt that will leave your tongue scared for itself.  Being available via RSS, e-mail, iTunes, and even for Zune just goes to show the far reaching appeal and full on entertainment value of Cereal Wednesday.

As a reward for being the best of the best for 2007… I designed this complex thing-a-ma-bob for those who may want to display their Listed status proudly:

Additionally… because I am beyond benevolent and loving contrary to what some people believe… here is the code for you to use with a permalink directly to this post.  So if your blog was snacked upon today, all you need to do is copy and past the code:

The Lists is a yearly compilation of interesting bloggers that I currently read.  Due to the volume of blogs and the 10 blogger limit, there may be authors who do not appear.  This is not to say that you did not have a good blog, or an important blog, or even a blog I did not read because in all likelihood I do indeed read it.  This simply means that for that year that you are excluded… well… I thought other bloggers were better choices for the Listing.  This does not mean I don’t like you, I don’t love you, or that I don’t read you.  It just means that for that year(s), I chose other bloggers but there is always the possibility of next year.  Unless.

Unless you cry, whine, send me e-mail messages begging me to feature you, send e-cards with links to the blogs you want linked, tell me how I don’t love you, tell me how I don’t like you, tell me how sad you are, tell me how I don’t read you even though you know I did because I commented at some point, and/or try to muscle me with threats of large “goombas” paying a visit.  If you do any of that… then hold your breathe until you see yourself on the Lists again.  While your doing that… go get a white hat and get yourself some Smurfberry Pie ‘cause you’ll be blue before you see it.
