This was what my application looked like I had to rewrite my article for them I wrote about 300 words and they wanted to see how I shortened it to 200 words plus they don't like when you write in the first person like a blogger. Also no CAPS so I pretty much took out the whole 3rd paragraph and then I was approved. They don't really want opinions just facts and they need to know that you write well and spell everything correctly.

What's your insider knowledge? : Jon and Kate Gosselin filed divorce papers today at Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. I actually knew this fact before the show aired tonight.

What would you like to write about? : I stay current on all celebrity news. I enjoy writing about celebrities, the good & the bad. I know plenty of juicy tidbits about reality television. I follow just about every reality based television show very closely and many times I know things before they are aired. I always seem to find the newest, best and funniest pictures of celebrities and I'm the first to post them. My photobucket has so many hits I can't even believe it and I have plenty of pictures that I haven't even posted yet.
What qualifies you? : Every summer I blog about Big Brother, the reality show on CBS. I plan to do it again this year. I usually get a good following because I have up to the minute information. I subscribe to the live feeds and get to view everything as it happens. I also blog about American Idol.
Most recently I have been active on a website called Mahalo Answers in which people would ask questions mainly about celebrities and I would dig up the answers for them. I was very quick with my responses and my peers voted my answers as the best most of the time.
What makes you different? : I have a knack for knowing what topics people are interested in hearing about from day to day. I usually add excellent photos to my work and a touch of humor. I keep my self in the loop concerning all current events, fads, celebrities, movies, music, television and scandals. I actively use Twitter, Delicious, Digg and many other similar avenues to promote my articles.

Your sample article :
This future Tim Burton film is about the adventures of a young girl, Alice, who falls into a magical world full of strange characters and darkness behind every corner. Alice In Wonderland is currently in production and is to be released March 5, 2010. As you might expect, Johnny Depp will play the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter will take the part of the Red Queen. Mia Wasikowska is a little known actress from Australia who will star in the role of Alice. She is rumored to be an absolutely perfect fit for the part. Although this film is being released by Disney it will not be a remake of Disney's 1951 animated version. It will feature live actors and motion capture technology, the scenes are set in the Victorian era. The music for the film has been composed by Danny Elfman.
The story is based on the Lewis Carroll's book Through The Looking Glass, which is a sequel to his Alice In Wonderland and is set 10 years after Alice first ventured into the strange world. The story follows Alice, now 17, returning to Wonderland for the second time despite having no recollection of her first visit. Alice is being proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty aristocrats, she soon runs off, following the white rabbit back to Wonderland.
The screenshots I have seen are exquisite, unique and downright creepy. Johnny Depp looks unbelievable in full makeup as does Helen Bonham Carter. The set is extremely eerie looking like so much of Burton's work with lots of attention to detail. This upcoming movie is sure to be unique as imagination tuns to madness and a fairytale becomes a nightmare. Alice has grown up and so has Wonderland. OFF WITH HER HEAD!
Your Bio : I have been writing all my life and just this year have been contributing my work to sites such as Associated Content and Helium, Triond, Factoidz, Bukisa etc.
