Because A Lot Of You Have Been Asking
Filed under: Personally Perez
Yes, we are thrilled that Leona Lewis is doing so well in America.
She has a #1 song with Bleeding Love and we can say….."We called it way back in 2006!"
Leona's success is also very bittersweet for us because, as many of you have noticed, we haven't been writing about her. Nor will we mention her any time soon.
We also have several other artists that are "dead to us." They include: Tori Amos, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, The Gossip, Adele, Lil' Mama, Pink, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston and more. These are some of our favorite musicians. It really, truly pains us not to talk about them. But, it is something we HAVE to do!
Why????
Because Zomba, which is owned by Sony BMG, is suing us and we had a lightbulb go off recently: we can't support any artist signed to Sony BMG.
Why should we help the company suing us make money???? Especially when their lawsuit is personal!
Sony BMG, and their labels Zomba and Jive, are suing us for streaming several songs that turned out to be by Britney Spears.
When these songs first leaked, there was a lot of doubt as to whether they were Britney or a fake. Plus, we never made any music downloadable.
Every time we saw a take-down notice from the R.I.A.A., we complied immediately. By the way, no one at Sony BMG ever contacted us about Britney.
Also, every song we posted - not knowing if it was or wasn't an authentic Spears song - had already been all over the internet and fansites, yet PerezHilton.com is the only entity being sued by Sony BMG.
That's just not right! And, what's even worse are the outrageous demands Sony BMG are making in order to get them to settle this lawsuit and have this case dropped. We don't wanna get into specifics, as this hasn't all been resolved yet.
Sony BMG may win this battle, but at the end of the day we will be the ones laughing.
We KNOW that our support can help their artists, some of our favorites, immensely. We hope alienating us was worth it for Sony BMG!
Every other label out there wants to have us as a friend. It really makes us question the business practices of Sony BMG that they would rather have Perez as an enemy.
Their loss!
And, though we may never write about Leona again, we still love her. Always will. Same for Xtina. And J Lo. And Adele. And Ditto.
Our heart is sad.

Usher is just dead. Period.

Yes, white men wish they had massive snakes like black men so they could give pleasure to white women but THEY CANNOT! The black man can give pleasure to the white mothers, daughters and sisters and feed them the mighty black seed they need! Bow down white men!

Well I hope they take your fat ass to the cleaners!
FIRST.
wHo CaRes..nO oNe..At lEasT noT ME!!!:}
that's sad. they're just pissed b/c they're losing millions of dollars b/c NO ONE'S BUYING CDS!
Go Perez!
it was wrong for you to leak her songs months b4 the release so w/e. and if ur not talking about these artists anymore why do you talk about britney 24/7? so your theory is invalid lol. you just posted her video like a week ago.
That's what you call KARMA!!!!
For dissing and putting baseless comments to other artist!!!
Your site is slowly rotting, soon this site will be like your face, UGLY!!!
sony bmg is a dumbass label!!!
Hope you lose you evil fuck. You make all your money on people's misery! FUCK YOU!
You should write a list of everything we should not buy/promote to try and make Sony BMG loose money for this.
You help them and their artists and unless they drop the case it isn't acceptable!!!x
Sorry you are going through this Perez.
first bitches
Who the heck is Leona Lewis? Never heard of her..
FUCK all major record labels. Fuck them ALL.
Everyone, please, never buy another major label album again from anyone, just burn it, download it,copy it, ANYTHING but just stop giving money to the greedy bastards who run the dying record industry.
They sue their customers, and they expect us to support them???
haha!..i hope they sue the fat right out of u ya pile of rabid animal feces!
ps..is that why u've been kissing brit brits ass so much lately??..
lol..u deserve to go to JAIL u idiot!..
Leonna's cunt is toxic! she likes to put beer bottles up her twat while she picks her nose and then she takes her hot curling iron and puts it between her vagina and shoves it in hard! she likes to do this while watching brokeback mountain cuz she wants to fuck heath ledger still and has decided she may even dig him up so she can sit on his dead old moldy cock! that is some serious shit peeps! then she picks her nose and puts it in her asshole! icky!
yikes
my heart is sad too. i loved seeing these artsists on here. u gotta do what ya gotta do!
Perez,be stronger then those dumbass no necks.
You are an AWESOME girl…
Love Liz
Good on ya Perez! Althought it might be tempting to still write about them you just have to stand up for yourself. I'm disappointed about Xtina as I love her but I'm very happy about Usher- who cares about him! I just have one request that you stop writing about Paris Hilton. I know that you like her but most people cannot stand to even look at her fug mug anymore let alone to hear about her idiotic behaviour. We always complain on the comments but it's in vain. So please…i BEG YOU.
you're right, that is way too sad….too bad they're suing your website perez, cause they sure could have had you promoting for them for free!
but why again would you have the last laugh?
My heart is sad too! But I totally support you. Team Perez (as usual!!!)
SONY BMG SUCKS!!! BOYCOTT
Wow! Sony BMG seriously has no idea how publicity works these days….
So I understand all that, but how come you have her CD advertising on your blog??
Stay strong perez… sony & universal tried to sue the company I worked for… ridiculous suits… they just pick on people they think won't have enough money to fight back
That's ridiculous! They'll regret it. I've learned about so many new artists through perezhilton.com (including The Gossip). Tough luck for Sony BMG.
Sony BMG SUCKS for trying to sue you. Those Bastards ! !
i love you.
YOU MEAN I WILL NO LONGER BE SUBJECTED TO SEEING BETH DITTO'S COTTAGE CHEESE ASS HERE EVER AGAIN?? Perez, all is good in the world now.
You're truly an inspiration. You made your name by speaking your mind and sharing your opinions. This is a bump in the road. No one will ever be able to shut you up. Keep on truckin' and fuck Sony BMG. Best wishes Perez!!!!!
Re: WHITE MEN HAVE SMALL WEENIES!!! – just one thing. Type in white male porn stars and then tell me white men dont' have big ones… then go sit on one you fuckin whore… u probably need 3 black dicks in you just to give u pleasure cuz your so loose and such a whore… i have seen plenty of white men with big dicks… besides i'd rather be with someone white and attractive then an ugly black monkey lookin person bangin me. hahahaha
Fuck yeah - this isnt the first time it will happen perez….you fuckin deserve this
HA HA HA!
YOU'RE BEING SUED!
You should be - you put all this #$%$ about there and draw stupid gay drawings on it. Grow up! Maybe this will be a wake up call to you and take you down! And how old are you now? 30 years old acting like a little girl? Perez… you bore me and so do your lame stories! I hope you get sued so you're HOMELESS!
You deserve it!
That is sad Perez
This is a heartfelt comment. As much as you have supported many music artists, you've also been quite horrible to many others and cruel to many public people. Regardless of whether or not your site was responsible for the leak - you have always disregarded copy write laws. Why should you be exempt from the law?
That's 100% bullshit. Fuck Sony.
I hope they realize that when an artist is featured on Perez's site that it's good for them, not bad.
Karma is a bitch. hahahahahahahah
I agree, you will be the one laughing.
The music industry is so far behind with its copyright law that it is trying to get as much money as possible from frivolous law suits. I guess perezhilton.com is the most easily available website with millions of witnesses.
(Though you can definitely use us against them)
Re: ciara-ireland –
GET A FUCKING LIFE!!! GROW THE FUCK UP!!! I WAS FIRST ON ONE OF THE BILLIONS OF PEREZ'S BLOGS>>> I MUST BE SPECIAL!! YEA, SO SPECIAL I'D LIKE TO RAM YOUR FACE INTO A BRICK WALL AND THEN SPRAY YOU WITH LEMON JUICE> FUCK_FACE!!!
That's awful. So sorry to hear that Perez.
Re: WHITE MEN HAVE SMALL WEENIES!!! – so do you have horses and buffalo hump u as well since you are such a sizequeen and need a HUGE one to feel anything? also have u seen all black men and white men naked? haha… and again… most black men all look the same and have monkey features… i'd MUCH rather be with a hot white man with an 8 inch cock than someone like Al Sharpton and a nine inch cock… haha.. eww

I would just like to say that this website featuring the Britney Spears tracks got me interested enough in her new album that I eventually bought the CD. I'm sure I'm not the only one that was exposed to her new tracks and liked them enough to buy her album. Soooo I think it's silly of Sony BMG to be suing perezhilton.com when in actuality, this heavily visited website was probably good publicity for her, at least as far as her music went.
Aww, Perez, sorry. This really sucks. I don't blame you one bit for not supporting Sonys artists. What a damn shame. We still luv ya big boy.
Re: KKK –
PIECE OF SHIT!
I LIKE LEONA'S SONG. IT'S CUTE AND CATCHY BUT LET'S BE REAL. CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND MARIAH ARE WAAAAYYY BETTER SINGERS THAN HER DESPITE WHAT YOU AND SIMON COWELL BELIEVE!!!!
sony bmg suckssssssssssssssssss go you perez…we heart you!!!
Re: WHITE MEN HAVE SMALL WEENIES!!! – black people are gross and most are in jail anyway! so most black men fuck each other with their cocks cuz they are loosers! even on oprah did u watch?! 70 percent of black women are single moms… half of black men are in jail… the one with bill cosby… watch it… shows how dumb your monkey ass race is… food stamp. killing. go back to africa.. also learn to speak… get an education.
This is bullshit. This is like cutting your life support….and ours.
Whatevs….there is still so much chaos to talk about.
does this mean no more britney news? bc if so, this site will be dead in a month
some how i think those artists will survive without your support. you over estimate yourself entirely
We support you, perez!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE GOSSIP
by not writing about all of those stars arent u limiting your audience? all of those
Re: britney news? –
this site is already dead. it was awesome till fatboy got more concerned with booking appearences than doing his job
this sucks, i hope you can still write about Sony BMG's Artist in the future!
I love ADELE, and the only reason i know who she is, is because you mentioned her!!!!!
i like ur music choices!!!
EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT SONY UNTIL THEY DROP THEIR PEREZ LAWSUIT
Re: WHITE MEN HAVE SMALL WEENIES!!! – don't be jealous just cuz white people rule the media, runways, magazines, music, movies, etc.. u will NEVER be as cool as white people. u were slaves.. u will always be thought of "less than" u will always be cryin the race card.. u will always be second class citazens… u will always wish u were white.. u will always be angry… most of u are in jail anyway, can't speak, or read. hahaha.. chicken
Aww Perez!!! I'm so sorry to hear that, but yeah they're really not smart to sue you!!!!! And I don't understand why people post hate comments on your articles, they just look dumb because they're clearly reading your site REGULARLY, and yet they claim to hate you.. Get over yourselves people, and seriously find something better to do with your time than spread hate.
EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT SONY UNTIL THEY DROP THEIR PEREZ LAWSUIT!
Re: ciara-ireland – kkk rules bitch! fuck ya! white is tight! we rule the world! always have and always will! bow down bitch!
EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT SONY UNTIL THEY DROP THEIR PEREZ LAWSUIT!!
only reason i brought britneys album twice, once from tesco and once from itunes was because i heard the songs on perezhilton.
!
So thats £16 they gained, as well as the money they are suing from you, it's truly pathetic, and as people have stated - sony must not know how advertising works these days.
Annoyed me this has, i liked hearing the american side of Leona Lewis.
Sony you sicken me like a bulimic at easter.
Awww, Perez! What a shame! Loveee ya, best of luck!!!
HAHAHAHA GAY FAT BOY GOT OWNED!! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN WARNED BEFORE??? DUMBASS!
awww Perez! how sad. stay strong!
I hate hearing about J-lo, and her fat ass
I am sorry for the unfortunate lawsuit against you - I think it is totally wrong and Sony shouldn't win.
However, by you boycotting their artists, how can your site be complete? What does J.Lo really have to do with this? When one of the biggest headlines of late last month was the birth of her twins and you didn't cover it (I'm not sure if you did actually, just making a point) don't you think you're only hurting yourself? And your fans? We want ALL the gossip and we want it from YOU! I feel like we're being punished too not just Sony. Just think about it.
Sony strikes again…They are as anti-consumer as they could possibly get. What a sickening company.
Perez, or whatever your real name is. U make money off of making people look stupid and making fun of them . And if one of them wrote a defensive blog like this you would make fun of them more. Emjoy your 15 minutes and adding to the paparazzi torture and etc… that has led to the downfall of many talented artists. U deserve exeactly what u reap. U are a hypocrite.
Oh well Perez! Too bad for them and the artists under the label. To be honest this is the only website I visit to know about celebrities updates. And like me I am sure there are many others who do. If it weren't for you I would not even know who Leona Lewis is!
so SCREW THEM! Its their loss!
Their fucking huge loss, Perez! You are helping out by promoting the music on your blog. Such a shame the industry is filled with a bunch of pathetic cunts.
Fuck Sony. I won't buy their music again.
Sony sucks perez…we love you!
