About lalate news
lalate (pronounced “L.A. Late”) news (http://lalate.com) is America’s fastest growing celebrity news website.
“We simply had no idea we would have become such a hit, so fast” is how celebrity news site LALATE explains what has happened to itself literally overnight. LALATE NEWS is now America’s 10 most trafficated celebrity news site, the only website in the top 10 not tied with a television show or magazine … yet.
But what makes this Hollywood story so different is that LALATE has done this in just four months. With readers coming over to LALATE in skyrocketing numbers, and celebrities turning to LALATE to break exclusive stories, LALATE is as hot as the stories it breaks.
According to Quantcast.com, LALATE has more daily online readers than Entertainment Tonight and the Hollywood Reporter. LALATE outranks virtually every U.S. local news station and print publication website. Among all genres (not just celebrity news), Quantcast ranks LALATE the top 7,000 most visited U.S. website after six months, compared to other leaders ranking 2,500 after 3 years.
LALATE has and remains the only celebrity news site to rank in the top 10 of more search engines than anyone else. LALATE is the only celebrity news site to rank in top ten on Google, MSN, Live.com, and AOL.com all at the same time.
LALATE currently has more website traffic daily than websites for celebrity TV shows, more than the Insider; more than celebrity magazines like OK! Magazine and the Star Magazine; even more than America’s biggest local TV news stations like New York’s WNBC and Los Angeles’ KNBC. And in just four months!

LALATE RANKED NUMBER 4 CELEBRITY NEWS SITE
How is LALATE doing it? Faster, better, and broader stories than anyone in the industry, is what has catapulted LALATE. LALATE has outscouped virtuallly every major competitor in getting you celebrity breaking stories first.
In fact, the average LALATE story is broken four to six weeks earlier than most celebrity news websites (if they even carry the story), and often 30 to 60 days before celebrity tv shows. And readers have responded, placing LALATE as their choice for getting stories first, not weeks later elsewhere.
But when it comes to the story, LALATE is winning fans on the word, entertaining, fast, and exciting stories. LALATE is produced by the family that brought the first television show to the internet in the late 1990s following a tradition of showing including All in the Family, Carol Burnett Show, and the Jackie Gleason Show.
In a world of photoshop squiggles and hackney language, LALATE has won fans by putting the reader first. “The news is about the reader, not about us. Our readers are coming to LALATE because they love our stories. People remember that.”
LALATE’s demographics prove exactly that. In the 18 to 24 demographic, LALATE nabs a 30% demographic. That’s more than double that of TMZ at 13%. (Quantcast 2/6/2008)
LALATE readers appeals to a $60-100K HH income reader, with 51% of its readers making more than $60,000 year.
LALATE is unique by courting equal popularity among male to female readers, in contrast to sites like PerezHilton.com with 39% male reader and 61% female reader. (Quantcast.com 2/6/08)
And LALATE has the highest educated readers in the celebrity business, at 22% with a Graduate or Doctorate Degree, compared to sites like People.com at 14%. (Quantcast.com 2/6/08)
From reps for the Jonas Brothers, to Ashlee Simpson, to Ashley Tisdale, to Heidi Montag, to a Super Bowl Celebrity Red Carpet event with 50 Cent and Paris Hilton, industry leaders, magazines, venues, tv shows, and more are turning to LALATE to get their message about major celebrity news, breaking exclusives to the world of entertainment hourly.
“If you thought the first half year was a ride, buckle up.”
LALATE has expansion plans into print and television currently in development. LALATE is owned at operated by the Television Internet Broadcasting Network, the first company to put television on the internet in the 1990s.
