Instant Checkmate: It’s Not Just for Ordinary People!

Yes, Instant Checkmate is your go to source for background information on potential hires and romantic squires, but what about the celebrities you admire? Whether you’ve got a thing for Lil Wayne or Bieber fever, we are not here to judge. What we are here for is to give you the inside scoop on where they’re from, what they do, and maybe something a little juicier.

The Present

Celebs, reality television stars, performers... they all do stupid stuff. Need to know about the latest person or thing Amanda Bynes hit with her car? Or what club Lindsay Lohan was arrested at? Maybe you’re just having trouble keeping up with the cast of The Jersey Shore, and who doesn’t? You could wait for the story to break on TMZ... or simply look at their rap sheet. Instant Checkmate is powered by really smart people using really expensive technology that is constantly being updated with the latest information. If we don’t know about it, then it hasn’t happened. Although, while you are reading this, Amanda Bynes has probably run over something else.

The Past

Celebrities have been behaving badly long before the advent of the Internet. Did you know about Elvis Presley’s arrest report? How about Frank Sinatra’s? Back then, it was the manager and publicist’s job to filter what went in the newspaper. Still, in spite of their efforts, police reports were filed. Excessive speeding, a night in the drunk tank, assault... uncover the truth for yourself!

The Deal

So maybe you’re thinking to yourself, “Why use Instant Checkmate when I can get the information for free all over the Internet?” Fair question, but is that free information reliable? What source would you trust for your favorite celebrity’s latest criminal misdoings? Twitter, where anyone can make up anything? Gossip columns like E Online and TMZ, which constantly have to filter their reporting because of advertisers? Or Instant Checkmate, where the information is one hundred percent unfiltered and unbiased? We have low fees for a one time search, and even better subscription rates. What dirt will you dig up when your shovel is powered by Instant Checkmate?
