I recently read in Clay Shirky's book Here Comes Everybody that anyone and everyone (with a computer and the Internet) can edit and or create a new Wikipedia post. That may explain why most articles on Wikipedia regarding celebrities are way, WAY, too nice.
For example, take a look at the Wikipedia page on Miley Cyrus. Whatever genius wrote and edited this article talked a lot about her having a tutor on set with her at all times and much too little about all the time she spends with random guys taking naughty pictures of herself. It is obvious to me that Miley has edited her own Wikipedia page. Either that or Daddy dearest did it for her. The article only briefly mentions her scandalous photos that ironically circulated the internet at the most recent peak of her fame.... don't even get me started on that publicity campaign.
Wikipedia should have professionals writing about celebrities. Professionals that will not candy-coat all the stupid things celebrities are doing each and everyday and instead give people an honest look at the lives of the rich and famous. Until then, the world will have to settle for TMZ and other blogs such as mine... that is until Perez Hilton figures out how to edit a Wikipedia article.

I'd fully endorse Perez Hilton editing wiki articles, although his commentary would probably be edited quickly for being way too bias. And sarcastic. Btw, that picture of Miley Cyrus kind of scarred me for life!
