Gossip-celeb-stories.com is a deceptive website, that tries to take advantage of its visitors. The page itself has no connection and doesn't provide any content related to gossip, celebrities or even any stories. Instead, the site has been confirmed to perform online misleading scenarios, and more specifically, a popular browser-based tactic. Keep in mind that what sites such as Gossip-celeb-stories.com show to their visitors exactly, could be determined based on their incoming IP addresses, geolocation and other factors.
However, in general, the exact text of the messages shown by these untrustworthy pages is not that important. Some may pretend that users need to pass a CAPTCHA check. Others could try to imply that a video is encountering playback issues. Others still, and one of them is Gossip-celeb-stories.com, could try to lure users with claims that their (unspecified) file is ready to be downloaded. What these clickbait messages will almost always have in common is that they will instruct users to press the displayed 'Allow' button.
Pressing 'Allow' will subscribe users to the page's push notifications. The site will then exploit this legitimate browser feature to deliver unwanted and annoying advertisements. The advertisements could severely diminish the browsing experience on the device, but, more importantly, they could be promoting additional shady destinations. Users also could be taken to suspicious adult-oriented platforms, online betting sites, phishing schemes, etc., via forced redirects.
