Celebuzz is an entertainment website launched in June 2008 that features breaking TV, movie, and entertainment news. Headquartered in Hollywood, CA, Celebuzz is known for featuring exclusive blogs written by A-list celebrities, particularly members of the Kardashian family (Kim,[1] Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie). Other notable bloggers include Whitney Port, Nick Cannon and Holly Madison.

Launched in June 2008, Celebuzz was the flagship property of Buzz Media (formerly known as Buzznet).[2][3] Celebuzz's content is produced entirely by an in-house editorial team in Los Angeles and New York City led by Editor-in-Chief Dylan Howard, who joined the site in March 2012 after previously serving as Senior Executive Editor at Radar Online.[4]

In Fall 2012, Buzz Media and Celebuzz unveiled a studio at the Buzz Media headquarters in Hollywood. Buzz Media was later renamed SpinMedia.

Kelly Lynch became Editor-in-Chief of Celebuzz in April 2013.

In 2016, SpinMedia closed. Celebuzz, The Frisky, and The Superficial were sold to CPX Interactive.[5]
