IC's Favorite Celebrity Websites
| | Drew Barrymore - Another simple yet balanced site, Barrymore pays as much attention to her philanthropy as she does her self-promotion! | | | Jeff Bridges - I'll confess I was a tad surprised that Bridges even has a site. Darn, it's a fine one! | | | Jim Carrey - Love him or hate him, the guy has a fantastic, Webby Award winning website! | | | Tom Cruise - A bit heavy on the self-promotion for my taste, but offers a nice retrospective of Cruise's career | | | Leonardo DiCaprio - Does it really surprise you that DiCaprio's site has a strong political angle to it? | | | Colin Farrell - I'll be the first one to wonder why this actor has a .org website, but it's a wealth of all things Farrell! | | | James Franco - Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of Franco's work, especially his indie stuff. | | | Samuel L. Jackson - While Jackson's site isn't one of my favorites, it does offer quite a bit for Jackson's fans | | | Gwyneth Paltrow - Gwyneth has one of the more unique websites, a delightful blend of self-revelation with self-help, empowerment and one of the more "relaxed" tones in a celebrity website | | | Adam Sandler - Not surprisingly, Sandler's site is on the lighter side with much love to those animals & humans he loves | | | Meryl Streep - Much like Streep, her site is simple and elegant with a quiet passion for all she believes in! | | | Steve Martin - A nice website that manages to weave together Martin's serious and funny sides |
