DAINEWS is a celebrity site, much like some of the others we've reviewed, but I think what sets them apart is the sheer amount of photos they have available. Their site does a pretty bad job getting across what you'll get here, mostly because of the extremely simple design (or lack of design). The site itself doesn't excite me too much, just because it's so plain. There's even a lack of any preview pics easily accessible, except for their daily pic.
Once inside, you're stuck with the same design unfortunately. However, they're database is pretty complex, which provides for an interesting array of choices to browse their content. The main search engine is pretty unique, since they rate each picture on a quality scale (1-5) and a nudity scale (1-5). You can then search by these parameters, along with how recently the photos were added. The problem there is that you're stuck with whoever they've added most recently, with no way to find specific girls. They also have a search and browse feature to find specific people, but then you're stuck browsing through sometimes thousands of photos of that person, with no way to find the good stuff. I think what I'd like to see is once you've gotten to the model's page, is a way to filter the content that's there (or arrange it by a certain characteristic). That way you have the chick you want, and the photos you want without wasting time while browsing through all the other stuff you don't want.
The pictures vary obviously depending where they got them. They have all sorts of photos, from screen grabs, to magazine scans, to paparazzi photos, and more. Looking through the site, it seems they add any and all types of photos they find of these celebrities. Most of the photos were larger than I expected for what we're looking at, mostly because a lot of the magazine scans (and other promo material) is very high-quality stuff. But even their other photos were bigger than I thought they'd be.
There are no videos on the site at all, so don't come looking for that. Besides the amount of content, the biggest plus is the price. $10 a month will get you in the door, and you don't have to worry about that recurring ever.
While I didn't particularly enjoy the site, for $10 a month it just may be worth it. I feel a lot of these photos you would be able to find on other fan sites for the specific girls if you looked around a bit. Plus I had a hard time with the lack of nudity. While they don't specifically bill themselves as a nude celeb site, they do offer up what they find. I wouldn't mind it so much if it were easier to find specific nudity-ratings of specific models.
Other than that, they have a ton of content and have a pretty slick interface for displaying it all. If you're into any and all types of celebrity photos, this is your place. If you're looking simply to get off, maybe you should look elsewhere. With the cheap membership options, it's definitely worth a look to see if it fits your style or not. Personally I don't think I'd stick around, but I can see the benefits for others who are looking for something different.

Well, things look QUITE familiar around here, as they are much the same as they were last time. Of course, as with most huge sites, updates have been great and that's helped their large collection grow even bigger. Still not much in the way of videos, nudity, or exclusive content, but they're sticking to what they do best which is cool. If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for a bunch of celeb content and don't quite care what it is as long as it fits the genre, it's definitely a great join (especially at the price), though there are slightly better sites if you're willing to shell out some extra cash.
Score increased from 78.7 to 80.9.
