That’s not possible on any wordpress.COM hosted blog like http://hollywoodgazetteblog.wordpress.com/ You need to hire a web host and set up a wordpress.ORG install for plugin installation.
If you are reading anything that makes you think that bloggers can install plugins, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/A self-hosted WordPress site may be what you need. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. Unlike wordpress.com, you can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct e-commerce and edit the database. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
As you need a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

Let me also add this, please. When a person provides an email address to follow a blog or to post a comment that is the only purpose their email address can be used for – period. Assuming one can use any email address for any other purpose in Canada is illegal.

Much appreciated
