Huffington hatches star-studded blog

Arianna Huffington--biographer, rightist-turned-leftist, and former candidate for governor of California (but who wasn't?)--is planning to pull the stars from the skies and deposit them in a giant liberal celebrity-ridden blog.

That's what the New York Observer reports, anyway. The Huffington Report's lineup includes the likes of Warren Beatty, Sen. Jon Corzine, David Geffen, Viacom co-COO and co-President Tom Freston, Barry Diller, Tina Brown and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Observer positions Huffington's new venture as Hollywood liberals' answer to Matt Drudge. Drudge's response: "I look forward to the Warren Beatty News Network."
