The blog page "Go Fug yourself" is an extremely entertaining page full of real life celebrity pictures. The entire blog is based on fashion and the way celebrities can or cannot carry off a particular outfit. In this case the particular topic spoken about is 'who wore what on the red carpet'. Although the blog reflects both the bloggers (Heather and Jessica's ) personal thoughts on many of the celebrities outfits and can be seen as entertainment for its viewers i do not believe that this blogg page and its content can be seen as journalism. There is no core structure or detailed meaning to the writing. The text is purely two people harshly critising others as a source of light entertainment, there is no news of information adopted within the writing or even to the blog page itself.

Good review - but you should try to include links to the blog. It could help to talk about specific posts and link to them, even quote from them - that way people will get more of an understanding of the site...
You're arguing for a quite a traditional news-centred idea of journalism here - if you follow your argument through, most opinion based writing wouldn't be classified as journalism... is that what you think?
Watch out for typos and the like - try to re-read what you write before you publish. You could also try reading it aloud - sounds silly but it really helps you get a sense of the flow and rhythm of your prose - it can also help you tell whether sentences are too long.
