Hello,
Just browsing random web sites today and was curious. Where do web sites like http://celebslam.celebuzz.com/ or attuworld.com, etc get their photos from?
Is there a free or paid service to automatically receive celeb photos every week/day? Or are they just saving the images onto their server from another website and then doing some post editing?
It dont have to be photos of celebs. Im also looking for photos on sports, traveling spots, random galleries, etc to post on a website.

Just do a quick search for FREE STOCK PHOTOS.
Make sure you read AND follow the licensing agreements!

Well, im not really looking for stock photos. Im looking for a set of photos on current news. So if its about a celeb in some event, Im hoping to get a dozen photos of the celeb and the event for use on my website.
Im guessing this is coming from a paid service. Correct me if I am wrong

My guess is some paid service!?
You could always just shoot an email to the admin/owner of any of those celeb sites and ask?! They might share some good information with you!

They probably buy them from the papparazi or have a “insider” source.

There a bunch of services like the stock photography ones that cater to just this market. Getty Images is one. WireImage is another. Some of the AP’s images are also for sale. I’m sure there are plenty more.

Arun, these are great. WireImage seems pretty ideal
