Websites, just like newspapers and magazines, rely on a grid to keep order and bring functionality to the website. Most users, including myself before I took this class, don't realize that grids are being used, but they bring a sense hierarchy and a natural feeling of order. PerezHilton.com uses a grid to do that. It has a main column in the center of the page, with probably occupies two or three sections of the grid. On each side of the main column, two smaller columns with ads, and other information run down the page. These column are probably set to occupy one seciton of the grid. Even the ad banners and title are aligned with the invisable grid. Without the use of grids by PerezHiton, the page layout would be chaos, and Perez leaves the chaos shoudl to the celebrities.
