Thank Goodness! 'Very Psychotic' Madonna Stalker Has Been Captured!!!
What a relief!
To recap - early this morning, we heard the terrifying news that 54-year-old Robert Dewey Hoskins, a man who was convicted of stalking and threatening Madonna, had escaped from a mental hospital in Norwalk, CA.
The LAPD were describing the man as follows:
"…A very psychotic man when not taking his medication and has very violent tendencies."
Now, we're VERY happy to report that the Los Angeles Police Department have captured Madonna's very dangerous stalker!
The LAPD announced that Hoskins was found around 9 a.m. this morning "not far from the mental facility from which he escaped."
He's currently in police custody and he's being escorted back to the hospital.
We're just glad that nobody was hurt while this man was on the loose. We're ESPECIALLY glad that he wasn't able to get close to Madonna.
Great job, LAPD! We're very pleased and impressed!
oi.
first!?
but do YOU donate perez? i bet not. and there are too many of these on your page. youre trying to make up for all the crap you say about people, and now they hate you. THIS alone wont make up for it, and btw, no want wants to see this, they want REAL GOOD GOSSIP
How bout saving the children in our country? This is what is ruining our country…worrying about other countries. Morons.
I was the first bitches! hahaha
Anyway, I would donate if I could.
But for now I'm selling my lunch to buy my dinner .. if you know what I mean lol
When are we going to do something for the people here in our own country?We can't, won't, don't even take care of our own. I get so enraged when I hear about all this money being spent to fly children from other countries here for medical care (at no expense to them) and there are children here in the great U S of A who because they have no medical insurance have to go without. Something is seriously wrong in our society when children and adults go to bed at night hungry and hurting, and were sending money to other countries. I'm not uncaring but we need to take care of our own first THEN we can help others.
FINALLY THIS IS ON HERE. GREAT CAUSE! Please donate
WOW THATS A BLACK ONE
HOW MANY HUNGRY N_____S
DO YOU EXPECT US TO FEED
Re: susie –
That problem has nothing to do with our society but with our government not stepping in to do something about it. Make your voice heard to legislators here in the US if you want to see a change. We can complain about American citizens not getting the things they need all we want but if we don't make our voices heard to those who have "power", it's all for nothing. Just a thought…
Too many charities listed. One a week and I'm interested. One a day and I think I've logged onto Perezhilton.org
This really is a great cause. It's unbelievable what young people can do if they find a cause they stand for.
this is a great organization started from young adults that went over to Uganda and saw this with their own eyes. i support everything that they are doing and i am a big part of my university schools for schools chapter. i love that with the money we raise the children are getting an education and overall being safe. i understand we should help in our own country first, but you think for anything to happen in Uganda for these children, your going to have to donate millions. neagtive. you can buy a $2 bottle of water that gets doubled and then given straight back to the children. the children in the United States aren't running from militants that are out to kidnap and kill them. in the United States when we see someone on the street or whatever, we place blame on themselves because they let themselves get like that. if you don't believe in it keep it to yourself. some people could care a less about anyone else and that is fine but don't be telling us who are actually doing something and making a difference that we are doing the wrong thing. peace&love is all we need.

Do it for the children! And, of course, me! Because I get 60% of all donations!
Perez Hilton would approve.
Re: susie –
What you're talking about has nothing to do with our society but with our government who is more interested in making war in the Middle East than taking care of our own who are going without. (That being said, I support our troops 100% and am NOT anti-American). If you want something to change about that, start getting in touch with legislators - people who can do something about things like this but won't until they are pushed to the end of their ropes. And sending money to organizations like this is usually a personal commitment, not a national one. If you want to see things change in the US, start making your voice heard to the people that matter. Use your anger to change something for the positive. Just a thought…
this is a great organization that was started by young adults that went to Uganda and saw this horrid with their own eyes. i am a supporter of invisible children because our generation started this organization to help others. i am a big part of my university's schools for schools chapter and it brings us such joy when we donate we know that the children are getting a better education and are leading a safer life. i know we should be thinking about our own country first, but i think that since these children are fearing for their life and running from militants that are trying to kidnap them and/or kill them. in the United States, society has an outlook on people on the streets as they got themselves into that situation. these children did no such thing. i think whether or not you believe in this, you should be nice about it. we are doing something to make the world a better place and you're just sitting there bitching about it. you also might think that it is going to take millions of dollars for anything to happen in Uganda. you're wrong. you can buy a $2 bottle of water and that will give a Uganda town fresh water for a month or more. it takes nothing out of our pocket to make a difference.
Re: DMAN –
asshole..
everyone please donate to invisible children! they really need our help over there. my school does a lot of work with this organization so please help!
Hey Perez, did you know that the food banks in this country are struggling because alot of middle class people have to decide whether to buy gas to get to work or buy food for their children. I volunteer in a local food bank and we are amazed at the moms coming in to get some help to feed their children. Save the world is such a celebrity thing. To bad they don't start with home first.
Oh yeah and donate and have 90% of what we donate go to "administration" cost. I mean we've been throwing money at the Africans for decades…..has it helped? No. How about instead of giving money to their conrupt governments who don't use it for the people but on themselves, we teach them skills and livelyhoods and agriculture and how to take care of themselves.
Perez!!!
I was waiting for Invisible Children to show up on here! I'm not a spokesperson or anything but I have been to IC events and donated whenever I could and helped with the Schools for Schools program. This is a PHENOMENAL foundation and really reaches out to the younger generation who need to be involved and aware of these things. Their film is heartbreaking and gorgeous and carries a message that speaks louder than what is on the screen.
They show the results of their donations and how they are helping THE PEOPLE get through this war.
Thank you.
I'm completely with Susie. What about our own people? I love how the US is bashed all over the world, but we're the first ones everyone looks to when they have a problem. Let the other countries deal with their own problems and leave us out of it.
Yea Lets Feed Them so they can come over here to kill rob and rape as they tell us what bad people we are. wHY NOT SEND THEM A CASE OF CONDOMS?
Jess-
I used to be one of those that ranted and raved and then went to bed at night, because what can just one voice do right? You would be surprised.
I understand what you are saying 100%. I do use my voice, and am a militant letter writer as well. I believe if you are going to complain about something then you had better be actually doing something yourself-or you need to keep quiet
I forgot that American lives were more valuable than everyone else's in the world and that we shouldn't help anyone other than ourselves. Thanks for pointing that out dougvol and susie
I DONT SUPPORT THIS. THERE ARE TOO MANY BLACKS ALREADY .THE LAST THING WE NEED IS MORE BLACKS SCREWING THE PLANET UP
For all the assholes. This is a great organization that not only helps children abroad, but empowers the youth of the USA to take an active role in changing the world. I have had the opportunity to visit the offices and meet everyone who works with this organization, and I have never met more real and caring people in my life.
If you dumbness would actually read about the company before making accusations about where money goes, you would understand that 50% goes abroad while the other 50 is used to empower US citizen and allow the organization to fund the missions they have going on here in the states.
Educational reform….find out more by visiting and researching this site.

Though Invisible Children is a wonderful organization and donations always help. If you don't want to spend your money, lend your voice instead. We can all complain about the problems that exist in America, but problems exist everywhere. The best we, as Americans, can do is focus on both issues–domestic and international. Thus, when you call your Senator or Representative, let them know you're concerned about whatever domestic issue and this issue, a 22 year war in northern Uganda, which has displaced 1.6 million people and has led to the abduction of 30,000+ children. Check out resolveuganda.org. And do your research before you judge this as another African problem. They are human, just like you. You just got lucky.
Re: noey – fuck off noey. let's see how you bitch & moan about giving to other countries when it's YOU sleeping in your car or YOUR AMERICAN children you can't afford to feed.
Re: Chris – o yes, chris. i am itching to empower already empowered trust fund babies who are apparently clueless to the crisis we face at home.
YES! i love organization! there so good.
i would recognize that face anywhere.
OK, if I donate, can I get me a couple of them to come cut my grass?? Got a few things they could do. WHO CARES?? We got them people microwaving their churdren in this counrty. Stop breeding!!!! I don't care about your starving babies. You shouldn't have had them.
fuck em……………….
i absolutely adore you for this.
I've been working with invisible children for teo years now,
im glad youre using your site to promote these charities.
if anyone approves i certainly do,
not like it matters. but its such a good organization.
That girl is beautiful!
Re: DMAN – you are a fukin asshole how could u be so fukin ignorant and say such stupid shit like that i hope u burn and die for saying shit like that..honestly like if u had nowhere to live and didnt have food or clean water im sure u wud want someone to help u so think about that before u say fukin stupidness like that
This is such a great cause. I watched the video that the guys made that have started this. You have to watch the video it's really touching and you can really see what is going on over there.
No one is being forced to donate,it's out of the goodness of yours heart.I agree some charity organizations are full of sh*t ,so it's up to you to make that choice.At those being racist about this cause,karma is not a bitch,it's THE BITCH.One day,you will finally learn that much deserved lesson.
Re: DMAN – Why, she looks EXACTLY like your mother!
Re: THERE – TO SAY NOTHING OF YOUR MONUMENTAL STUPIDITY! HERE'S HOPING ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN ARE MISCARRIED!
wow, wut a coincidence. i just saw the documentary today during school.
i suggest EVERYONE watch it, its moving, and it brought me to the point of tears.
im buying a bracelet :]
Re: oh ple –
wow.
another reason the entire world hates america. its full of hatred and mean people like YOU. IGNORANT, RACIST, UGLY people like you. read about the cause before typing up those things on the internet.
Re: hmm.. –
Ya know we have those people that have "nowhere to live and didnt have food or clean water im sure u wud want someone to help u" right here in the USA! Sending condoms over there is a great idea. Feed our American family FIRST!!!!!!! Take the food away from your blood family tonight, and take it to a local homeless shelter, and send your family to bed tonight hungry. Retarded right? Thats is what your doing to your American family; letting then starve to feed the people in another town. Get a clue!
I've been waiting for IC to show up here too!!!!
I love Invisible Children, it's my favorite charity! I'm already part of our Schools for Schools program at school, and I can't wait for the new film!
Everyone, if you're gonna diss IC and their cause, learn what they're about first! I bet all the ppl here who are hatin on it think it's just another "Donate money to Africa ’cause they're poor and starving" charity, and don't even know the REAL crisis IC is trying to solve.
if there weren't any white ppl in africa then there wouldn't be aids or starvation in africa…white ppl are like disgusting germs, they cause hell and trouble wherever they go…get the hell outta africa and take yall butts back to the that cold barren place u call europe….
why do wealthy people always give money to people in need in other countries, instead of people in need in the US?…….dumbasses..that's what!
So glad you finally posted about IC. I hope everyone checks out their site and sees the movie trailer when they donate - powerful stuff!
thank you for advertising Invisible Children, it is one of the causes that i feel very passionate about because i saw the movie.
and perez advertising on his site is a plenty big donation, Lucy
another great organization. good job perez!
anyone who's tired of all these racists and hateful comments (like myself) should checkout tolerance.org for ways to deal with and respond to bigoted comments, it's a great site.
"For all their "patriotic" rhetoric, hate groups and their freelance imitators are really trying to divide us; their views are fundamentally anti-democratic. True patriots fight hate and unite the community.
In the face of hatred, apathy will be interpreted as acceptance — by the perpetrators, the public and, worse, the victims. Decent people must take action; if we don't, hate persists."
my name's brandy, i'm american, and i'm proudly NOT a hater.
reading half of these comments makes me sick. This organazation isnt about feeding poor people, its about ending a civil war in northern uganda. Its Africa's longest war in history, but what makes it different is 90% of the soldiers are children. around ages 5-12. it sounds crazy, but its true, what is happening over there is sick. no child should ever have to go through that.
And it pisses me off to read shitty comments left by a bunch of idiots who don't even know about it, keep your damn mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say. im glad perez put it on his site, unlike a lot of stories on the news lately, this is one that deserves attention and is not getting it. millions of people have died from this war. invisible children is my favorite orgnazation, because unlike a lot of charities out there, you KNOW where your money is going.
I would encourage everyone to go to the site and atleast get informed on whats going on, and watch the movie, its so sad,but eye opening. and if you can donate do it. its worth it.
This is what happens when blacks run the gov't. You can't name one single, successful country on this planet that's run by a black man because it doesn't exist yet we're supposed to rush out and vote Obama in November. Whatever.
I saw a video about Invisible Children at my church years ago. It made me want to get up and do something right at that moment. I was only a junior in high school when I decided to organize a benefit concert with local bands in the community. I also got the Invisible Children Organization involved. They donated t-shirts and dvd's to sell at the concert. All proceeds went to the children. We raised a couple thousand dollars and it was one of the biggest donations that they had received. Please take a look at the website and donate as much as you can. These kids really need our help.
I'm so glad you have put this cause on your site!! It's heart breaking what is happening to these kids. A girl i know went over and got to interact with the kids. Everyone support it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy the shirts the dvds and the bracelets!
Correct, Save the kids in the U.S., as I look out my window here. There are a whole bunch of poor, already messed up kids here. It is time the Hollywood type, start giving back to America, for once….
Have you actually watched the movie? One of my favorite charities ever. I love how it can appeal to young people more so. Thanks for featuring it.
Re: Tulip –
I don't have any problems with your comment until you mention saving the world as a celebrity thing. My problem with that is that you are associating Invisible Children with "saving the world is a celebrity thing". IC is such an incredible organization that has not only changed the lives of thousands in Uganda but thousands upon thousands in America. So many youths in America are actually standing up for something and doing something valuable with their time. It's a grassroots cause that celebrities are now paying attention to but only because it is such an incredible organization.
Re: kat –
Before you start bashing such a worthy cause that has benefited tons of Ugandans and Americans, maybe you should look into the facts as to what they are doing with the money and where it is going.
Invisible Children is the real deal. They are rebuilding schools that were ravaged by war. Thanks to Perez for using your status to introduce the masses to this amazing organization. In response to any negative/racist comments here, to quote Invisible Children, "where you live shouldn't determine whether or not you live."
Thank you so much for posting this. Invisible Children is a great cause. I fully believe in their work. They are a testament to the fact that a small group of people can make a difference in the world. It's not just about donating or just giving money to them, its about changing your perspective on injustices in our world, even here in America, and realizing that change will only happen if we do something about it. Wheather thats in Uganda, or on the streets of America. Invisible Children gives people this opportunity and challenge. You all should totally check them out and watch the documentary. You won't regret it.
It's sad when the people of America are so content with being uninformed about the rest of the world. Invisible Children has done more for the youth of America and Uganda than so many other organizations. You can't throw a rock without hitting an American teenager who has been empowered by this organization to do something about making the world we live in a better place. When teens who can't even drive yet dedicate themselves to raising tens of thousands of dollars so that children half a world away can have the same chance at education that they've had - that is worth taking notice. Definitely "very worthwhile". Every single country has their problems. Everyone do what you can to make the world a better place. Don't knock the organizations like IC that have succeeded, just because they have celebrity support.
This is an AMAZING cause!!
I've donated a bunch to it.
&& for those of you who say "why not the people in our country?"
Well there ARE programs for people in our country. All sorts of them.
And if you are truly so worried about your own people, you wouldn't be trolling this site and making comments like that.
You would get out and DO something for those people.
But I bet none of you have ever lifted a finger to help the people around you - like volunteer/donate/etc.
So don't tell people to help the people in this nation first,
when there is a good chance you're not helping anyone but yourself.
Kat, rather than 90% going to administration costs, this is one organization where about 90% of the donations go to support the programs. You can download an annual report from the website and check it our for yourselves. The CEO is NOT spending his weekends on a yacht, and a number of their staff here in the U.S. work as volunteers.
And Invisible Children DOES help people here in the U.S. as well, by making serious investments in the high school students of this country and encouraging them to change the way they live- both here and in the international realm. The staff and supporters from this organization are doing things like having weekend barbecues with homeless people and raising money to pay a classmates medical bills.
Please take the time to check something out before you start insulting it, this is one organization that really does deserve your support.
