If there are ghostwriters, will there inevitably be ghostbloggers? How many celebrity blogs will turn out to have been written by someone else?
I expect to see ads like this:

It works both ways... I'm paying Robert Downey Jr fifty cents for every post he writes for me.
someday it will be revealed that ALL the blogs are written by will wheaton. including this comment.
I'm more interested in the stunt-blogging angle where someone writes a blog on my site about an issue I don't have the nerve to tackle. It would seem silly to take on a new identity on a new web site just for one blog. So I hire a stuntblogger to write the blog, and I attribute the blog to him or her.
A stuntblogger is sort of a reverse ghostblogger, and should be paid about the same. My daughter stunt-blogged for me recently. The terms of her compensation were undisclosed.
I must say I've been wondering if Rosie O'Donnell really is that interesting.
