World Entertainment News Network (WENN), a global leader for over 20 years in B2B entertainment news and photos, announces the launch of its weblog at WENN.com on April 2nd, 2009.

WENN.com offers up-to-the-minute entertainment news and stories, plus top-notch celebrity photo exclusives from around the world€¦all served up with a dash of attitude.

Coverage includes celebrity, music, film, theater, fashion, publishing, television, and gossip.

WENN has always positioned itself at the forefront of the world's appetite for celebrity news and photos, and WENN.com will add yet another dimension to WENN's already well-rounded news and photo services.

WENN CEO Lloyd Beiny comments, “For a number of years, WENN has been supplying the world's major entertainment news media, including websites and blogs, with

a vast range of customized celebrity content - which has led unsurprisingly to our B2B site generating a significant amount of consumer traffic. So it seems a natural development for WENN to launch its first consumer-targeted business

Beiny continues, “We generate much of the celebrity news and photos so valued by media the world over. The new WENN.com site will be our direct route to serve it up to a global public eager to access as much celebrity news and gossip as can be delivered to them. And, as we have done with our B2B entertainment news wire services, it is our intention to roll the sites out in languages like French, Spanish and German as we approach the fourth quarter of 2009

Against a harsh global economic downturn, WENN has increased staffing levels to launch the WENN.com blog. The site's launch editor is Sarah D. Bunting, a co-founder of Television Without Pity.com who has also written for Seventeen, People's Emmy Daily, MSNBC.com, Fametracker.com, and New York Magazine.
