GOOD IN A JAM Ross
Chudney Ross—daughter of Supremes diva Diana Ross, sometime model, and most recently, Hollywood blogger—was the victim of a major Web beatdown on Monday after the gossip site DListed posted an entry from the girl's online journal about her attempts to break into the Paris Hilton party circle.

True, the Chudster's blog is part gag and stuffed full of mockable bits—she imagines her "dream day" as one in which she "dances with Britney Spears (a sober and healthy Britney from the past), laughs with Cameron Diaz, and flirts with Enrique Inglesias"—but reader comments calling her "delusional" and "a brainless twit" are pretty harsh, even for someone trying to bank off her mother's fame.

Radar decided to play ombudsman on this one and called Chudney, 32, for a chance to speak out about the blog and confront the haters. Confront them she did, telling us that "the blog is a tongue-in-cheek joke. It's not all fake, but come on, I'm a college-educated girl. Of course I don't want to end up like Paris! But all this negativity is really making me want to stop blogging, though!" We feel you, Chud.

Another thing she wants to clear up? "My name comes from my mother's 'creative' period. It is absolutely not a misspelling of Indian food."

A few more of bittersweet Chudney's revelations, after the jump.

She Is Developing a TV Show
"The blog actually began as a TV show pitch called Social Butterfly. That hasn't worked out, but I am working on several more ideas now. That, and I'm writing children's books. I was a school teacher for a long time, so I know that world. But now I want to be out there and experience fame. When you grow up around the spotlight, you start wanting it at some point."

Diana Ross Isn't Totally Crazy
"That thing about her pushing a toddler at a show is totally misreported. My mother loves kids and her fans. She gets such a bad rap with people calling her nuts, but it's not deserved."

She Wants Attention, But Hates the Heat
"These celebrity blogs tear people to shreds. They call you ugly and a bad writer and it starts to get to you. But I would never not do this because of the criticism."
