Gossip Girls was created in March 2003 by a network of girls located in Los Angeles, New York City, and the Midwest who were passionate about celebrity gossip. It originally operated under the URL of celebrity-gossip.net, but this was changed when Brand Technologies acquired Gossip Girls in 2006.[5] Over the years, it has participated in the Glam Media Network and now syndicates video to its entertainment section along with other providers such as E! Online and TV Guide. NBC24, the NBC affiliate in Northwest Ohio, has partnered with Gossip Girls for a weekly televised broadcast that covers gossip headlines.
In December 2008, Gossip Girls joined News Corp's DailyFill entertainment network. Other sites in the exclusive network include Media Take Out, Egotastic, and The New York Post's gossip section "Page Six".
Gossip Girls publishes over 30 original stories and between 200-600 images each day. It routinely covers the most popular celebrities of the moment, such as Britney Spears, Brad Pitt, and Vanessa Hudgens, but unlike many of its competitors, such as Dlisted and Perez Hilton, it portrays them in a neutral or positive light.
