Trending-celebs.com is not a website that users are likely to open intentionally. The page relies mostly on visitors stumbling on it while searching for the latest celebrity news or being taken directly to it via forced redirects. Such redirects are often caused by rogue advertising networks or intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) lurking on the user's computer or device.

As for Trending-celebs.com in particular, the site lacks any meaningful content whatsoever. After all, that is not part of its primary goals. Instead, the page is designed to run a popular browser-based tactic that relies on clickbait and deceptive messages. The site will try to lure visitors into subscribing to its push notification without realizing it. The most frequently encountered behavior sees this type of hoax websites pretending to be doing a CAPTCHA check. They will ask users to press the shown 'Allow' button under the pretense that doing so will confirm that they are not robots. Trending-celebs.com also has been observed to display a video window accompanied by a message similar to:

'Press 'Allow' to watch the video'

If successful, Trending-celebs.com will be able to deliver numerous unwanted advertisements to the user's system. Naturally, the advertisements are unlikely to be promoting legitimate destinations or products. Users could instead receive promotional materials for fake giveaways, phishing schemes, suspicious online gaming/betting sites and more.
