A HEATHHALL teenager hopes to be the next Perez Hilton after setting up his own celebrity gossip website.
Nineteen-year-old Garry McCulloch launched his new website – garrygossip.com – at Youth Beatz on Saturday.
And he’s already getting 1,000 hits a day!
Garry started the website as part of his journalism course work at the University of the West of Scotland in Hamilton.
He said: “I set up a website as part of my course but I wanted to upgrade it and thought the timing would be right at Youth Beatz.
“Because I’m from Dumfries, I wanted the website launch to be here and I’m planning other launches around Scotland.
“I’m really excited about seeing what becomes of the website and I’d love to keep building it up.
“Celebrity Big Brother starts this week and the X-Factor will be on again soon, so it’s the perfect time to indulge in some celeb goss.”
The former Dumfries Academy pupil added: “I’ll be taking a few risks and telling the public what I really think on the website.
“Discussions will include new music, films, TV shows and just the celebrity culture in general.
“We will be running exclusive competitions on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/garrygossip so give us a like.”
During the summer holidays, Garry has been busy working at Gala Bingo in Dumfries and volunteering at Alive Radio in the town.
Hopefully, his website will eventually thrust his name into the limelight like that of American blogger Perez Hilton, who is known for posts covering gossip items about musicians, actors and celebrities.
Garry said: “It would be great if it really took off, but I’ll be relying on the support of all my friends to help get my name out there and make the website the next big thing!”
