Blog Ambition
“Queen of all Media” Perez Hilton takes over television—in technicolor!
By Brandon Voss
Though he has millions of loyal readers, his button-pushing blog is so hated by Hollywood that even Fergie wants to knock him off his “Pedestal.” But with his new VH1 celebreality series, What Perez Sez—plus a stint on MTV’s Celebrity Rap Superstar—could the oft-sued Perez Hilton (né Mario Lavandeira) really become a gay role model? The 29-year-old opened up to us about his inspirational outness, those “cocksuckers” on The View and how Jessica Simpson is helping whip him into shape.
HX: Out of all the gay bloggers out there, why are you the one getting his own show?
Perez Hilton: First of all, I have more traffic than all of the other blogs combined—not to toot my own horn. Humility isn’t one of my strong virtues. I’m a shameless, self-promoting whore, but I’m honest about that, so in that way, I have integrity—not much, but a little bit. That traffic speaks to the suits at the TV networks: Gosh, this guy’s getting seven million readers a day? We gotta tap into that! It’s smart of them to utilize me to their advantage.
Did any celebs refuse to be on What Perez Sez?
Of course! Kelly Clarkson said no, Avril Lavigne said no. I wanted people that I had beef with on there. I thought that would’ve been great television, but they weren’t willing to go there.
Was your grilling on The View as uncomfortable as it looked at home?
Yeah, it was kind of like having sex for the first time with someone. You have really high expectations, but once you’ve gotten into it, you realize that you’re not having that much fun, and, Oh, my God, this person doesn’t know how to give me head. Then you realize that even though he’s not the best cocksucker, it’s somewhat enjoyable. That’s what I was thinking to myself: Well, it could be worse. At least I’m reaching out to a new audience. But it was a little frustrating and shocking because they pre-interviewed me and never mentioned talking to me about the children of celebrities.
Was your meeting with Posh on her Coming to America special planned?
Oh, it was totally planned. I had a meeting with her manager to talk shop, and while I was there I took the opportunity to say, “By the way, I hear Victoria’s doing a TV show. You should put me on it.” And then he did! Don’t sit around waiting for anyone to do shit for you. Make it happen yourself. She’s really fun and nice, but she had awful skin. She’s probably rotting from the inside because she doesn’t eat.
High-profile TV appearances don’t go to your head?
No, because there are still places that I’m banned from. I’m not allowed at the Chateau Marmont, I can’t go to fuckin’ Hyde, and I don’t care! What makes me happiest is just staying at home working. I feel really lucky in that I’m living my American Dream. Nobody tells me what I can or cannot do.
Did you ever consider toning down your gayness for TV and Red State tastes?
I don’t think it’s possible. I don’t know how to say this without sounding really egotistical, but I would’ve loved to have had someone like me around when I was young. Like, Oh my gosh, if this dude is able to do all these really cool things, still be gay and not be the best looking or thinnest, then I could do it, too. And it’s great now that there are more people are coming out of the closet because, wow, maybe Wentworth Miller really will come out! And that would be awesome, because he’s definitely more in the leading man category than, say, T.R. Knight.
So Wentworth’s who you’re hellbent on outing these days?
Well, I’m not hellbent on it, but I look at the website like I’m talking to my friends. Although with friends I’ll engage in more speculation and conjecture, but on the website, if I’m reporting something as true, then I’m 100 percent confident that it is. In June, when I first reported that he was dating Luke MacFarlane, I was 100 percent sure. And he was, he is, and now there are pictures of them together two months later.
Why does your pal Mika seem immune to your outing?
Unfortunately, you can’t go back to my really old posts, because I had legal drama bullshit and had to go to a new server, but the first few times I talked about Mika, he was filed under the “Gay Gay Gay” category and I said that he was gay. But I don’t have to repeat it every time I talk about him!
Which mess has the edge on Celebrity Apprentice: Lindsay, Britney or Paris?
None of those girls are going to be in it, but I think Lindsay would have the edge. She’s the smartest. Oh, I was so bummed because we’d been e-mailing each other while she was still in Promises, I was trying to encourage her to do better, and she agreed to be on my VH1 show. And the next thing you know, bitch fuckin’ gets arrested, so that’s not happening now.
Tell me about your bold fashion style.
I was raised in a very Catholic, conservative Cuban household, but I don’t necessarily believe in the God I was brought up to believe in. I do, however, believe in the power of color. I believe that there’s energy there. When my hair’s different colors, I feel differently and people treat me differently. People should be unafraid to explore, have fun and try color.
Remember when you went on that “Madonna” diet and got all Star Jones skinny?
I need to get that way again. I wasn’t going to talk about it, but I don’t give a fuck. I finally realized that enough is enough. When not even extra-large items of clothes are fitting me, it’s time to do something about it. So I’m getting my meals delivered. I’m such a chick—I was reading about Jessica Simpson’s diet plan in US Weekly and I ordered it. But I don’t want to mention it by name, unless I start getting it for free. [Laughs] Oh, whatever—so I’m doing this thing called the Five Factor Diet, and it’s really good, but I’ve only been doing it for a week and a half.
Have you cheated?
I’ve only cheated three times out of 18 meals. That’s not bad. And I hired a trainer. My goal is to be a manwhore in 2008. I should be getting a lot of sex, and I’m not.
On that note, I’ll let you get back to blogging.
Did I give you enough salacious soundbytes? I just want to give you all you need. I’m a giver. I’m a top, though I may look like a nelly bottom.

Will She Be Ready???

Your link doesn't work!!!
That link you posted doesn't really work.
Oh, and you look really good in this photo. Good job, Perez!
great interview. you'll look great when you shed 30lbs. your asshole will be looser than a torn baloon knot from all the poo-pushin'.
Vote RON PAUL if your tired of illegals!!!!!!
Is this an old photo? Or has someone been PHOTOSHOPPED to bits????
Hard to see where the coat ends and your face begins!!!!!!!
WOW so sexxxxy
congrats perez!!!!!! love your fab. ass!
Hmmmmm… now there's a good candidate for the Photoshop Awards.
how did you get so famous anyway? by just… blogging?? weird times we live in
Baby, you look fierce!!!!
Damn, you should really look into getting an eyebrow lift so you dont look like such a caveman. Also, I see they photoshopped at least 2 or 3 chins off you, the photographer should be commended.
Perez the cover boy is HOT!
Good luck with your diet - could you POST your current WEIGHT on the site so we can follow how you're doing? like in a REALITY TV DIET SHOW?
Again good luck, keep it off, ManHo'08
Perez, i am starting to go with the haters on this - the reason we love your site is for who you bitch - not you. Keep yourself away from the Celebrities you hate - make too many friends and your gossip site will be a joke. You already support the mess that is Amy Winehouse and the other mess Paris Hilton.
You are their bitch.
you look good in this pic. leave your hair this color and stop all the other madness.
As much as I enjoy reading this website, I am not even remotely interested in all these articles about Perez Hilton himself, and these days half the articles seem to be about himself….what a shame
As much as I enjoy reading this website, I am not even remotely interested in reading about the webmaster himself, unfortunately lately about half the articles here seem to be about himself…
Please tell me that's a fake fur you have on. Don't be like idiot Beyonce with real fur.
PEREZ! that better be faux fur!
This is my first comment on here ever…Perez you really are an awesome guy and I'm glad you have the balls to be doing what you do AND making bank with it.
Represent!!
damn perez you look kinda good to bad your gay.
Dear Perez
The more you feature yourself, the more I don't come to you site.
I actually am another one of your fans that has been slowly leaving your site. I officially have taken it off my bookmark list.
What a shame that while you may be gloating on the pique of your fame right now, while the moment is shared with tons of your avid readers leaving due to self promoting.
I feel the sight has lost its edge completely and the major percentage of your posts are about you. What is it 20 percent of the relatively dismal frequency of updates?
I wish you the best of luck, but I hope that you don't think your success is a given now. If we go away so do you.
Best of luck.
perez you must wear colored eye contacts dont you? i bet their naturally brown.
Good pic!
But you do need to stop coloring your hair stupid colors. Jeez!
I see Mooriah's retoucher is at it again! GO PHOTOSHOP!
Perez, looking really good on the cover.
Perez,
That is a HOT photo of you no matter how it materialized. And I like seeing you on your site. Full blast with the self promotion.
Still, I hate that you didn't comment on the US Open. There was SO much material there to comment on as well as some hot men, which is rare in tennis.
Mario, the biggest enemy you have is your vanity.
Wow, Pezzles, you look like a sex goddess here. I'm absolutely speechless. Even those chest hairs are sizzling!!! Those eyes seem to be inviting your long lost love into a passionato embraco!`WHAT A HOTTIE YOU ARE!!!
i'm so happy for you! congrats on your anniversary & all the good fortune you've had lately!
I have been with you from the beginning. Reading the crazy shizzz on this site
keeps me sane. I know how hard you worked to get where you are now!!!
Talk about gay face….
It's not funny any more. Perez has become one of them all and considers himself as a celebrity. Let's bash him even more now that he belongs to the Rich and Famous conspiracy!!!
I think I am going to go throw up now.
Link isn't working, honey bun!
That's a very nice picture of him but we all know how he really looks from seeing him on TV>>>
hell yea. thats hott
Deli-fuckin-cioso….. If you played for my team Id tap that ass right! MUAZZZ I heart u Perezito
did someone hire mariahs retoucher?!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!PEREZ, YOU LOOK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
oh, photoshop..
i bet perez is really into the hardcore whoring, you shrek looking bastard. luv ya!
NICE !
photoshpd???…btw,u look hot!
photoshp???…btw,u look hot!
Good pic Perez:) I'm not always agree with your opinion about some people, but at least you're funny and honest. PEOPLE, stop complaining that Perez is promoting hisself here, if you don't want to read about him you can just skip the topic, or go to another sites where authors talk shits about people without to have self esteem to show their face for the readers .
Wow Pezzles Wezzles, this pic makes me think you must be really good in the sack!
Hahaha!!! Loved the interview Perez! Nice photo and all, keep it up
Oh look, they TOTALLY PHOTOSHOPPED HIS DOUBLE CHIN.
ROCK OUT WITH MY COCK OUT!
HANG OUT WITH MY WANG OUT!
Yowsah! Meeeeaw! Scratch! I have to sign off soon, you are making me feel all hot and bothered!
Perez you look so hott! man the hair is so much better it makes your baby blues pop!!! way to work it!
baaahaha that picture doesn't even look like you. it looks like they've had to airbrush the shit out of it so it looks half respectable. even then you look like shit… go figure.
aww perez you look great! lovin the scruffy muff…without that awful mustache.
and also, for all you haters…perez HAS become a celebrity in his own right…at least he's actually famous for something he's DONE, unlike some that just walk around shopping all day. I don't mind the self-promotion because it's his site and for everyone that likes him - they want to actually watch this stuff…….
so be quiet.
Baby.. I know you know your fabulous!!! But I had to say it anywayz.. YOU'RE FUCKING FABULOUS!! I'm so glad you're friends with Amy! She needs a good tell the truth friend like you! Wish I was famous so I could party hardcore with you!
Ooooh Perez how I do love you and everything you say and do (most of the time), but please, please, PLEASE tell us that the jacket you are wearing on the cover of HX is not real fur!
Look at that Mardi-Gras-puppet-sized head.
It's big enough to have it's own congressman…

OMG.. Don't EVER bitch about a celeb's photo being photoshopped within an inch of it's life, because…. Man… The did a number on this one!
HOLY MOLY. You've got some sexy eyes. Enough to make me go straight….maybe.
perez i love you but dont get so full of yourself…too much of you isnt a good thing dont sell out man
Ewww…shave your chest hair…you are gross!
I love you in this pic! You look great!
PHOTOSHOP!! Did you hire Mariah`s retoucher?
Perez , when I visit yr site I want news on celebs NOT news about YOU.
So stop your tiring self promotion and stick to "reporting" frankly my friends & I dont give a fuck about you or boot-lickers who submit "I love Perez pics just to be featured - pathetic ! So stick to your strengths. And one more thing, that Britney-Bashing is getting BORING move on… yawn…
it's amazing how ood publications make you look compared to the way you look in real life!
:D
OH MY GOD, PEREZ!!!
YOU AlMOST LOOK COOL! ^_^
*Clof Claps For Perez*
Bringin' Hairy Back !!! Yeah PEREZ!!
It is about time men realize hair is natural and bare is for 9 year old boys.
You are my HERO !!!
HEY PEREZITO: DID YOU USE MARIAH'S PHOTOSHOP ARTIST FOR THIS PHOTO? YOU LOOK UNUSUALLY SLIM. KUDOS TO THE PHOTOSHOP ARTIST!
I guess Photoshop is also a queen's best friend.
Must have taken a month and a legion of photoshoppers to get those extra chins to disappear.
Hey Perez….you look HOT in that pic! Beautiful eyes….very nice
FABULOUS PIC OF YOU, PERETZEL!
MEOW!!!!
If nothing else, that's some top shelf photoshop work. Something I know all about………
The boys have been working over time down in here in Cuba now that I'm dead.
- Fidel
Talk about Mariah's help from Photoshop.
