These days, all the chatter online seems to be about social networking - your Twitters, your Facebooks and such.

But cinema stars are still maintaining websites hoping to entice fans to follow their work/buy crap with their name or face on it and pimp their latest musings.

We decided to trawl the depths of the magical intarwebs to take a look at some of the cream of the crop - and some that are just rotten.

Inspired by Jim Carrey's amazing contribution to online actor presences, here's our take…

Overall Design

Jim Carrey

Why It Rocks: It's Terry Gilliam meets the twisted portions of Carrey's career.

Whoever decided to frame the site like this deserves a medal. It's a hefty beast and you might have to wait for it to respond occasionally, but you're always rewarded for your patience.

Our particular favourite page is "Origins", which offers a blast into his past featuring pics of young Jim and a warped Canadian page.





Billy Bob Thornton

Why It Sucks: Anyone who's ever done a media studies or information science course in the last few years has probably had to build a website.

When you're learning HTML, this is probably what it looks like. Perhaps BBT's trying to make a joke out of the fact that he's not really a computer guy. But it just comes off as amateurish, not hilarious.

It's listed as originally created in 1998 - we doubt the design has changed since then.
