um Perez got PUNK'D! LOL!!@){(&!@_)
what do you yanks know about castro beyond the propaganda your government tells you, and lets not forget Scarface…
#27 are you for real, i'm sorry..if not, do you hate that lil kid Elian that was rescued years ago from a raft? Get medical help, but don't everyone bc of one bastard..just hate Fidel!!
Good Job PEREZ!!! I have been all over this for the past 30 mins and Boy you are the only one on it! Not even the Miami Herald or CNN! Good for you!!! You are doing a great job!!!
perez, admit it - the big announcement was about noriega!
PEREZ YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!111!!!
AMAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope that you will get recognition by major media of the fact that you scooped this story. How much of a bigger more universally recognized "gossip" item could there be than the death of Castro, especially since he has been shrouded in mystery throughout his illness.
I do know how you do it, but you are a new breed of journalist… and with the mainstream media being so full of yellow journalism and biased corporate bullshit, and independent media so depressing, I have to say it is the best thing to happen to the news to have Perez Hilton writing about things like this and not just Lindsay and Britney.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
May he burn in hellk for all etternity! This has made my Fiday! Godbless the Cuban citizens. I hope rise up and embrace Capitalism, and freedom, and start to rebuild their beautiful island! I love Cubans!

WRONG AGAIN, YOU FUCKING SUCK PEREZ. YOU PILLOW BITING POLE VAULTER.

Nothing has been said… It's 4:08
I love that you're cuban and proud. Miami will rejoice tonight!
Perez, CONGRATULATIONS on this HUGE scoop! I hope you get the credit you deserve.
AWESOME…give us MORE INFO
I'm looking forward to seeing if the major news outlets admit that they got scooped by Perez Hilton. Congratulations Perez, you deserve to be proud.
WELL PEREZ ITS 4:00E N STILL NO ONE IS REPORTING THAT HE IS DEAD…..IM WAITING…I HOPE THAT THE NEWS IS TRUE N THE PRESS COFF..IS TAKING FOREVER
I am not seeing this reported anywhere else.
It would be awesome if it is true. Now if we can just get that Chavez nutcase from Venezuela to kick it…
Perez are you certain??!?!? I'm on CNN and i haven't heard anything… I seriously don't want egg on my face.. that's no tthe kind of slime I like.
No joke? Bout damn time!
I hope the intern who works for the State Department wasn't pulling your leg
Bull. AP, Reuters haven't reported anything…I don't buy it.
Wait, what time is it now? ? ? ? ?
I predict it will be 4:20
still no announcment
The only thing I am listening is about pineapple face Manuel Noriega, not Castro's death !
Fuck Castro…Perez when are you gonna report that Bush is dead?!?
Ummm…where's the announcement on major news networks.????
Oh yeah, and #50 - you people are stupid: if you are going to call other people stupid make sure you spelled "says" right.
R U sure?? We live in Miami and have not seen/heard ANYTHING.
Hey its 4:10……………………..WTF Where is the NEWS?
Wow, you really dropped the ball on this one. Your credibility is now on the same level as the Weekly World News.
OMG, Breaking News:
Breaking News: Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega can be extradited to France to serve a 10-year sentence for money laundering charges a Federal judge in Miami ruled.
Keep the real reporting to real reporters. You're ruining any semblance of credibility you may once have established for yourself.
Where is it on MSNBC or anywhere else!
I had Fidel on my deadpool at work. 19points baby!
U sure Perez? My hubby has been all over the spanish news and cnn and nothing! But please tell me this is true!
ITS 4:10 AND NO ONE HAS POSTED SHIT ALL!!! im tuned into CNN….K FUE K PASO??
awww, poor wittle perez trying to play grown up. stick to what you KINDA know- celeb's. like how you broke the nicole story a day late.
The security wouldn't be for Noriega.. Panamians aren't notorious for being a roudy bunch
WHERE WHERE??…its not on cnn!!! weres it happenin wheres the coverage??!! cnn should have it they are always all ovr that stuff??
fuck yall of you! Fidel Castro was A hero.
Greets from hollland amsterdam
Perecito, querido, yo no creo que lo vayan a anunciar. There's still hope for all cubans though.
are you sure it isn't 4pm CENTRAL time??
and i want to know why my message that was in the top 20 got deleted, is it because i mentioned how not even cnn was reporting on it yet?
this site is really getting bullshit, all the good comments get deleted and the asinine ones stay up
makes you fucking wonder sometimes
Okay it's after 4, I'm here in Miami and I want to know what's up?! Is it TRUE?
Still nothing in the mainstream press - the 4:00 news shows may have been pre-taped or scripted, so they can't easily interrupt them, but once one station goes the rest will follow (assuming this is true, of course - if he's alive and well and CNN reports one of the events of the decade based on celebrity gossip news, that'd be a reputation-breaker)
I dont think its true…because Ive had the news down here on since 4 and theyve only talked about noriega
May he rot in hell.
U.S. Senior officials said that while there are reports on setbacks in Fidel Castro's health, there are no indications that his death is imminent.
Nothing unusual has been reported from Havana. However, Miami is ablaze with rumors, NBC News reported.
You better not be getting my hopes up for nothing. If you're right, I'm sooo glad I had planned a roadtrip out of Miami this weekend because it's going to be beyond insane. 4:10PM and no one's saying anything perez!!!!
I'm listening to the live CNN TV webcast and their is no mention of Castro. What is going on???
its 4:11 where is the announcment asshole?
ok it still hasnt been announced….anyway isnt his brother in charge now? is castros death really going to change anything? arent the cubans going to have to stop taking it and REVOLT to see a change in that country?
Laaaaaame, no one is announcing shit
QUE VOLA! PACHANGA ON CALLE OCHO TONIGHT!
God willing the story is true.
"Cuba Libre" Al fin
C'mon Perez…
You got everyone's hopes up! Is this true.
It's 4:12 ET and still nada.
PEREZ DEAR HAVE U BEEN PUNKED?
u better be right about this… i'm gambling a job on it
Might wanna find new sources for your non-celeb "news" there perez…
sorry, a story came from Miami but not what we all hoped for.
you scooped the Times, CNN and everyone else
nothing i checked like a whole bunch of places .NOTHING!!
it's 4.11.. no news yet!!
If it is so i will definitely be getting in my car and driving down calle ocho!
4:12 pm EST on east coast and not one newstation,cnn has reported any special announcement…..SCAMMER Perez!
It's after 4…no announcement.
This guy has more lives than a cat. I sure hope that it is true.
not yet perez….NBC 6 saying NOT TRUE
viva la revolucion!
I'm inclined to not believe it. At the very least, the networks would be reporting that the White House was set to make an announcement. They always notify the media so that it will be covered. At least one of two talking heads would be on right speculating as to the topic of the upcoming announcement.
412pm nothing yet
Look i have channel 7 on & there's no such news about Castro being Dead. Get your story straight because there are just too many of us waiting for that news.
Drudge Report says that he is in fact, not dead. Get your facts straight, Perez, and confirm your sources before you start making such huge claims.
R u sure I look all the news website. And they don't have anything.
This "news" is looking weak.
sorry man, but i think someone's yanking your chain, trying to have a laugh. no other news network in the nation has a story about this, and not that i don't love you but i think these "sources"–if they wanted crediblity–would go to a CNN or MSN.
i think you're being fooled.
anything official yet?
OK -
It's 4:15 and there has been no announcement and no other media outlet is reporting this. Are you sure you are getting proper information? I am having a hard time believing you would be able to scoop all the major news outlets on something of this magnitude.
-D
babalu blog doubts it
IF THIS IS FORREAL miami is about to go inssaannee. its going to be crazier than when the marlins won the world series, when elian was sent home and the heat winning the champshionship combined.
87TH AND BIRD BETTER GET READYYYYY.
Yeah, yeah, yeah…..every 3 months he dies. I'll believe it when I see it.
And #27….go see a doctor. You have major issues !!!
4:13 EST and no one is reporting… I have CNN FOX and MSNBC on live feed…
what the hell? It's 4:15pm and there's no announcement yet!!! This better not be a joke.
Don't think he's dead. The local stations and police dept. do not have any information on this. IT'S JUST A RUMOR! A rumor that's getting out of control.
4:14pm…no word on ANY news site.
I think you were wrong this time.
nothing here in miami. y100.7 announced it but unofficially and they provided ur info. but no news about castro being dead…..
Dimelo Perez.
Went to Belen 7 and 8th in 90 & 91.
You beet Perez-Roura to the story.
Congrats
cnn's breaking news is on Manuel Noriega ..if this was true they'd b all over it youd think….
Wow KATE, I didn't know you got banged by the ENTIRE island…You Whore!
You are such a moron Perez.
Breaking news huh? dumb ass
from NYTIMES yesterday…
