How can anyone write anything negative about another human after listening to that? Those of you who are writing trash on here need to take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize that we all share this planet. It would be a hell of a lot nicer place to be if we started being kind to one another, even if we don't agree. Just my two cents…

Re: lola – WHY??? Art thou hideous and desperate to get some from EITHER side??

She is a good human being. Caring, compassionate, and fights for her what she believes in no matter how many people feel otherwise. She is what a role model should be, not Britney, not Lindsay, and especially not Paris.

What an absolutely amazing speech. I have just gained such a huge amount of respect for her. WOW. There are no words to even describe how inspirational that speech was.
I wish I could call her up on the phone and be like "that was amazing!"

100% major supporter of the LGBT community.

44

the reason why we love her! perez, why don't you learn from her. even though you're gay, you're still a cruel person. watch the video 10 billion times, learn from it and watch the sh*t that you say!!
Lizzy says – reply to this

45

Her words were aboslutely perfect, genuine, and meaningful. As a friend of many gay teens (who face terrible harassment in school) she IS INSPIRATION to MAKE HATE STOP. PERIOD.
Lizzy says – reply to this

46

I always had a good opinion of her, but nothing big.

But … because of you Perez! … now I really love this young woman.

She is a stunning classic beauty. She is eloquent, graceful, and compassionate. (Of course, talented.) She has her head on straight, strong values, and speaks her voice. There is so much to admire about her, I wish she were held up as a role model to young women more often than the garbage you see plastered about.

So thanks, Perez, for bringing to attention how great Anne is. I really have grown to love her. I have a strong feeling she will grow older in such a graceful way, and surely do a lot more good in her life.

"I'm not being brave, I'm being a decent human being"

I just love her, she hit the nail on the head. It's sad how many bigots are still out there, but hopefully her words affect even ONE of them.

Nella says – reply to this

86

Um, serious…SHUT THE EF UP!! She just poured her heart out about how her parents raised her to be a decent human being (unlike you assholes), show some respect. You know, I don't get how you people who "hate" Perez so much, or comment on things you so strongly disagree with…why do you even come to this site? And not just that, you f*cking click on the topic and take the time to be so f*cking annoying. NO ONE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR IDIOTIC/TRUCULENT SNIDE REMARKS! WHY NOT GET OUT FROM THE DARK DIRTY LITTLE HOLE YOUR IN AND GO BE A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY…HOW ABOUT STARTING WITH SHUTTING THE F*CK UP? HMM?

And to the dude who keeps posting the KKK comments…you need to all be burned. Why don't you go watch American History X again you asshole. You do know no one is really "white" right. We have all mixed early on with all different ethnicities…you really are a dumb, racist, ignorant, WORTHLESS piece of smelly shadoobie!!!

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
