Celebrity sites have a lot to live up to, because there's some stiff competition out there. On top of that, they're all pulling from the same pool of content as the rest of them (it's not like there are any exclusive celeb sites out there), so it all boils down to presentation, technology, and innovation. Throwing their hat into the mix is Ultimate Celebs, which at first glance looks like any other cheesy paysite tour that I've seen. They only charge $20 a month, which is less than some other similar sites out there, so they get a slight boost from that.
Inside the member's area, the site still has a little bit of a cheesy, older paysite feel to it. They keep things pretty simple though, and getting around isn't too hard. They let you browse either by latest updates, movie or TV show, or by celebrity name which seems to cover all the bases. Checking out their updates page, something new seems to come almost daily here (usually at least a couple clips from one movie, sometimes more).
Their celeb list seems to be pretty complete (though it's hard to tell if anything's missing really with such a large list). Picking a celeb leads you to her page, where you can read a bio, and of course get links to the videos they have of her. Clicking that link actually takes you to the specific movie page, which has a description of the movie and links to all the clips they grabbed from it.
Each clip has some good info listed. Besides the codec, resolution, length, and size, it also tells you what level of nudity there is. That's really the most important part to me, so I wouldn't have minded it being a little more prominent with some color association or something. Most all of them come in DivX format from what I saw, and 640x480 seems to be the norm overall. Downloads come quick which is great, and quality is as good as can be expected grabbing scenes off DVD's (which is pretty good). Some clips don't have audio (even when they say they do), which can be a little annoying at times.
On the surface, there's a lot of good things going on. The price is okay, the updates come often, and the quality is decent. Of course as mentioned before, there's stiff competition in this category, and a few little things are missing I'd say: only one video option available, a little difficult to tell at first what's in the scene exactly, and just an overall lack of extra perks sets it back a little bit. Otherwise, it's a decent join for celeb video fans, especially at the price, though it's not the most complete site I've seen.

Review: 05-23-07 |
Well bigger and better is always a good thing I assume! Ultimate Celebs has grown quite a bit thanks to the update schedule they've kept. They've also upgraded the navigation a bit with some more options to get around the site. It had been a while since we'd been here, but I've seen some pretty crappy celeb sites since then too which made me appreciate this one a bit more. The price is the same which is good news, and I still think my original review holds pretty true here.
Score increased from 80.6 to 81.5.
