Loading ...Perez Hilton risks backlash for Jackson post
06.29.2009 12:00pm EDT
(New York) Just days after his feud with the Black Eyed Peas, Perez Hilton has found himself on the defensive again, this time for a posting on his Web site about Michael Jackson.
After the first reports about Jackson’s failing health, Hilton wrote that he doubted Jackson had gone into cardiac arrest. In a post that has since been removed from PerezHilton.com, the celebrity blogger speculated that Jackson was pulling a stunt to get out of his upcoming concerts in London.Hilton’s skepticism, of course, proved unfounded – and many have called for a boycott of the blogger. Hundreds of users on Twitter have urged others to “unfollow” Hilton on the microblogging service. Pete Wentz of the band Fall Out Boy was among the celebrities who chastised Hilton.
Hilton (real name: Mario Lavandeira) didn’t return e-mails requesting comment.
He did, though, tweet many times about the situation, claiming that he was owning up to his mistake and that he was “genuinely feeling sorry that he died and sorry for his kids.”
On Thursday, Hilton apologized for using a gay slur during a nightclub altercation Monday with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am. The altercation resulted in the band’s tour manager being charged with assault for allegedly punching Hilton.
Hilton apologized after the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation pressed him to apologize.
I agree with isaac, Perez is a vile man. I also agree with noyz,,, yaaaaaaawwwwnnnn. Whoever reads Hilton’s blog should apply for a lobotomy.
Perez Hilton has made himself irrelevant.
re: Mr. Jackson
I have no idea if he was gay or not (actually I am hoping he wasn’t) as he was the poster child for all the anti gay people out there showing him in the most unfavorable light possible.
*IF* he was an actual pedophile I can only hope that it will eventually come out with a story that he was not gay. I think he might have had talent (I did not like him ever) but the many people who did like him have their point of view as to his “antics”.
If he got as much dick as he craves attention, he’d be too worn out to put a finger on a keyboard. I wouldn’t ask anybody to volunteer, so how much would it cost to hire enough guys to do the deed? We could pass the hat.
Why do we have to keep on reading about what Perez writes. Who is he and why do we care about what he has to say? Would someone please tell me who this person is?? Then tell me who made him Queen. Hope that his God will forgive him!!
Bye-Bye Perez, you anal dwelling butt monkey!
Perez Hilton is a cunt.
Perez is becoming a bigger joke every day – time to give all of us a rest, Perez – GO AWAY!
ok enuff with Hilton why are we giving him a forum here he in no way represents the majority of the gay community atleast not the part of the gay community i am familiar with
Stop giving this little sissy publicity, he’ll dry up and blow away.
Apparently, one “Black Eye” wasn’t enough to knock some sense into Mr.Lavandeira! Anyone want to go two for two? As I said in a previous comment, we should all be boycotting him, and any product or venue that supports him. Again: Mr: Lavandeira, your 15 minutes were up fifteen minutes ago!
Loki, out
The lawsuit should be dropped as well.
IT SHOWS HE CAN SAY “I’M SORRY”
It’s time for all press to ignore Perez. His 15 minutes of fame is long over. I respect him for what he has accomplished but he seems to be either losing it or really is full of himself. Eitherway, Perez you should lay low and keep quiet for a while.
Not sure why you continue to give this nobody publicity. It reduces your credibility for responsible journalism.
