If you're looking for anything from the latest celebrity gossip to a review of the latest movie to hit the big screen then Dose.ca has this and much more. This site has something on every thing happening in pop culture today as well as contests and special coverage of events in major Canadian cities. However, it does take some time to get over the initial shock of strange color schemes, numerous flashy ads, and multiple menus.

The homepage of the site contains so much information that it is hard to know where to start when you first go there. The best way to start would be to click on one of the menus for any of the major categories which include "Celebrity", "Style", "Music", "Movies", "TV", Events and Clubs", and "Games". These are just a few of the links on the homepage and each of these has its own section and numerous sub-links. The background with fuzzy animals wearing 3D glasses doesn't help visitors to the site focus any easier on what they are looking for either. Then again, this site isn't designed as a serious news website, but instead as a celebrity news/rumors and trends sort of site. So this format seems to fit the type of site it is, even if it is dizzying at first glance.

The "Celebrity" section of the site contains everything one might want to know including the latest headlines, photos and gossip or scandals. Some of the articles in this section are from main stream news outlets, but there are also numerous blogs here which may be more opinion than fact.  The "Style" section of the site could easily fall as a celebrity sub-section as it focuses on photos of what celebs are wearing more than anything else.

The "Music" and "Movies" sections are great for fans who want the latest review on an album or newly released film. The "TV" section also has some great information, but tends to slide more into the "Celebrity" category as do many other links on this site. The only section that doesn't seem to fit into the format of this site is the "Games" area. This is solely game news and reviews and is a great section for an avid gamer.

There are hundreds of links, ads, and photos on the homepage that make it a busy, yet fun site to visit. It has a little something to offer everyone and there are numerous ways to get to the same location. There is a lot of work put into developing this site and it has so much content that someone could visit multiple times in a day and see something different every time.
