No one knows who the author of Rance (captain hoof.tripod.com/blog) is - although it is rumoured to be a veteran movie star using the anonymity of blogging to spill the dirt on his Hollywood cohorts. This is just one example of the growing phenomena of fake blogs which began with Belle de Jour (belledejour-uk.blogspot.com), a diary written by a London call girl that many speculate is really the work of a novelist.

Elsewhere hundreds of Live Journal users are stealing the identity of celebrities like Kirsten Dunst (llivejournal.com/users/xo-kirsten-ox) while debate is raging as to the authenticity of QT 's Diary (qtdiary.blogspot.com), a plausible dialogue between Quentin Tarantino and his adoring public. Best of all is Hulk's Diary (incrediblehulk.blogspot.com), where the Incredible Hulk details his daily life, all the while attempting, in vain, to keep his anger in check.
