[Pinterest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blogtopin) may allow users to 'repin' their favorite pictures and videos on a wide variety of topics, but thePinPop virtual pinboard is specifically catered to [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-butler)-obsessed 'pinners.'

The site focuses on pop culture and famous figures and awards users different rankings depending on how many pins they accumulate. The first level (under 50 pins) is the 'paparazzi,' and the rankings and statuses increase all the way up to 'pop star,' when the user gets to 10,000 or more pins. Other rankings include 'extra' and 'reality star,' which are punchy jabs at different levels of fame in show business.

ThePinPop virtual pinboard is a fun way to get your 'Perez' on in an environment that is totally accepting of your obsession with Angelina Jolie's growing family or Lady Gaga's insane antics.
