Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Cable TV

1. Expect that you'll have to subscribe to at least a basic cable package to have access to the widest range of programs. While the major networks do carry celebrity gossip programming, it is becoming an increasingly niche market that the cable broadcasters are starting to take over.
2. Get to know the more popular celebrity gossip TV shows on the air. "Entertainment Tonight" is probably the best known of these, but there are also "Access Hollywood," "ESPN Hollywood" and a smattering of others that might be available to you, depending on what type of cable package you subscribe to.
3. Check your local television listings to find out when the shows you want to watch are broadcast in your area. Often, the more popular entertainment news and celebrity gossip shows are shown on a regional basis, meaning that the times that the show comes on the air may differ according to the part of the country you live in.
4. Plan your viewing by visiting the website of your favorite celebrity gossip TV show(s). That way, you'll have an idea ahead of time regarding what stories are going to be featured in upcoming programs, allowing you to tune in or tune out, as you see fit.
5. Check out the programming choices offered by channels that specialize in movies, such as HBO, or music, such as MTV. They often feature regular programs that are specific to movie, TV and music celebrities that you might be interested in following.
6. Enlist the help of a digital video recorder (DVR) such as TiVo if you're not able to tune in to a show you want to watch because of work or other commitments. That way, you can watch the show at your convenience, shuttling forward through segments you aren't particularly interested in to get straight to all the latest juicy gossip you've been craving.

Tips & Warnings
