Where are some places to get photos of celebrities for celebrity focused blog?
Do most of the sites that host them just steal them or are there legit places where the average webmaster can get them?

If you want unique you could research on Google for paparazzi websites. As these guys will sell off the photos the magazines and newspapers wouldn't buy.
Would be the route I would go if I wanted Original pictures that have not been on countless other sites. That is unless you are going for Quality such as wallpapers then you will have tougher time getting originals.

Go to the celebrity's house and try getting photo's of them?

Otherwise try looking for copyright free places - I thin there are a few around the internet.

Found a cool site/service. PicApp - the best content for the best publishers
It embeds advertising but I guess that's the price you pay for legality.

Another place I found is PR Photos - Exclusive Celebrity Stock Photos For The Press! . You can get pics for like $5 a piece.

I know most people just take pics from other sites and post them. Anyone know the rate or the likelihood that people get C&D'd or sued? Does the little guy even have to worry?

You can always come to Costa Rica and next time Brittany Spears goes to the beach, just snap a few pictures. Never know, he bikini may slip due to unexpected waves and you can make some big bucks if you're there at the right time.
