About This Site

Purpose:
The original purpose of this site was to share info, pictures, videos, and more, related to and/or about beautiful celebrities. A recent decision has changed that. The site is now about female and male celebrities.

Because this site is about celebrities of all ages, it will also be viewed by visitors of all ages. For that reason, there will never be adult material here.

As the site grows, I will be giving special emphasis on less popular celebrities, especially those that are just starting their career. Hopefully it will help some of them become better known.

Contents:
The contents of this site will be growing week by week to eventually include:

  • biographies
  • acting credits
  • contact info
  • video captures (vidcaps)
  • video clips
  • scanned images
  • wallpapers
  • screensavers
  • various products and services
  • links to official sites
  • links to many other celebrity sites
  • celebrity quizzes
  • calendar of birthdays and special events
  • message board
  • electronic puzzles
  • E-cards
  • and more as I think of it

    Future plans:
    To keep making this site bigger until it reaches the maximum I can afford. Since I am now in the business of web hosting, and have my own server, there is realistically no limit to how big it can get, but if you would like to help with the costs involved with this site by either buying products through affiliate partners, or making a contribution, go to my products page.

    Feedback:
    Because I am putting this site together for you, I have made it easy for you to help with it's design and content. Just go to the feedback page to make suggestions, requests, comments, or ask questions. I do pay attention to the feedback, and some of the ideas and celebrities here, are here because of it.

  • About the webmaster

    My reason for doing this site:
    My reason is strictly personal pleasure. In March 1999 when I was fairly new to the net, I decided to make my first website, members.xoom.com/mystarspage. It was a very small site with only a few galleries of pictures I found from other websites. I originally decided to make that site because when I started using the internet, I found out that it was possible to learn anything. After researching my favorite celebrity, Kim Richards, I found almost nothing and decided I wanted to make a site of my own to share what I know and find with others. I had very little to share, so I decided to make a general celebrity site.

    In June /99 I found Yahoo clubs and couldn't find one on Kim, so I started my own. Because of the club and my new friends, I found out much more about Kim. In January 2000, I made a separate site for Kim at homepage.com, and later made a separate site for Tara Lipinski at 50megs.com.

    In the summer of 2000, I registered KimRichards.net, and from there my celebrity sites grew in size and number. I spent time on them because it was fun, I was making new friends, and I was even being contacted by, and making contact with, several celebrities.

    A bit about me:
    I'm male, 38, single, and Canadian. I'm a born-again Christian and have a personal friend who is closer than any other, Jesus. I love others and would like to see all hate in this world disappear.

    I currently live in Ontario, Canada, and used to do home renovations, but now do professional web design and hosting. I will likely be moving to Alberta, Canada in the near future. Find out more about me at mikessites.net, which is all about me and my sites.

    My Future plans:
    I'm not certain. At the age of 38, I decided that I do not want to spend the rest of my life doing home renovations and sitting at home. One thing I would like to do is make the world a better place to live. One person can't do a lot, but every person can do a little.

    There are various things I would like to do, but I either don't know how, or can't afford to. That's why I decided to use my web design knowledge to help a little through a website, helpinggodschildren.com. I haven't done much work on it yet because my back made me have to look for new employment. That's when I decided to go into web design and hosting. Now that my new business is in motion, I will be doing some updates to my celebrity sites and getting some content on my "Helping God's Children" site. The current front page tells all about what is coming up if you are interested.

    What I would like to do the most is help with the problem of children and teens living on the street. If I could afford it, I would buy or build an apartment building just to give them a place to stay. I would add counselling and schooling to help them have a good future. I would try to repair family problems that can be repaired. I saw "Children of the Night" when I was 22, and ever since then I've wanted to help get people off the street. I hope someday I can do something. In the fall of 2001 I saw "Higher Ground" and decided what I would like to do with my future.

    Technical notes

    Site details:
    This site is hosted by myself and therefore the only limit to the size is my own decision. This site is already bigger than the biggest package that most paid hosting providers give. I still have several new shows and celebrities just about ready to add, and do plan to eventually be the largest celebrity site around.

    I created the newsgroup alt.binaries.multimedia.celebrities.female.nonude for 2 reasons. First, there is a limit to how much space I can afford to use for my celebrity sites, so as the site grows, I will eventually have to take down old material. The newsgroup will give me an easy way to still allow people to get that old material. Second, it's much easier to download a large number of files/pictures through a newsgroup. That means 2 things. When I create new material, I add it to the sites and I also post it to my newsgroup, giving you the choice of how to download it. It also means that if you see a gallery here with a large number of pictures and you want all of them, you can request the set to be posted to my newsgroup and I will post the full set there.

    This site does cost money and through my products page, you can help with the expenses and therefore the growth of this site in various ways.

    My computer:
    My computer is a PIII 600 MHz with 384 MB ram, 2 20 GB hard drives, a dvd drive, an ATI all-in-wonder rage 128 video card, and a CD burner. In the near future I plan to get a better video card and a faster processor.
