Rufus is hot. "Poses" is my favorite album ever. And I was genuinely depressed in middle school when I found out he was gay and therefore the relationship I was praying for with him would never work out..

This is ridiculous. That was horrible. There was nothing good about that video. A bunch of guys at his feet. Just b/c they r gay, perez thinks its better. Katies video was good. She has never claimed to be a pro, she is doing it for the foundation you idiots. You do you have to rag on her so hard? Quit letting perez influence you guys… form some of your own opinions people.

It would have been better if he did more dancing, it was kinda boring.

This sucked. Perez, get your twat out of your eyes, you fat fucktard. What — because Rufus is gay he's automatically better? Please. Grow the fuck up you asshole.

How exactly does she get schooled?!?! Maybe if you had the video of Katie doing this number, for us to compare, we could form our own opinions. But, as some others said, I believe you only like him better because he's gay. I'm coming to your site less and less and less, because you are just SO biased towards only the things you like - this site should be called, Perez's Favorite Things. Then I would definitely NOT come back, because your affinity towards extremely young (some underage) boys is just disgusting and it would probably just get worse.

Katie looked amazing. The piece was amazing. She rocked it. Why do you keep hating on her? Ridiculous.

HE SUCKS!

How is this any better? He's just swaying from side to side and the audio is not that great on the video. Katie did alright…not amazing, but it was respectable.
I personally think Anne Hathaway will put them both to shame!

I agree that we all expected more. However, the only media frenzy I saw was perez posting about katie practicing….soooo anyway..also yeah..since when does mediocre singing and minimal dancing get you on TV? That said I didnt think she was horrible…I dont think she got schooled I just think whoever put this together couldve put some more impressive dance moves in there for her…im sure shes capable

If you search Rufus Wainwright sings "Get Happy" at Glastonbury 2007 in youtube there is a much better version Much love Perez x

She could never dream of being half the entertainer Rufus is. I saw him in Atlanta, he was amazing!! He was on stage for about 3 hours and his encore performance was the Judy Garland tribute, he was fantastic and has the best legs I've ever seen!! Katie wishes she could do Judy like Rufus, but she failed miserably

that's almost the same exact dance that Judy Garland did in "Summer Stock"… Judy still did it better

FAIL. This is nothing to do with Katie Holmes!! This is OLD.

Perez, you make shit up and only the stupid people believe you. Like attracts like I suppose.

are you joking??? He looks like a really bad old drag queen who didn't even shave properly and has ZERO grace
mandaffeine says – reply to this

32

You're all stupid. Perez is just having fun with this, obviously he doesn't think Rufus came out with this routine to school Katie. And if any of you were at all knowledgeable about pop culture you would know that Rufus Wainwright recreated Judy Garland's famous Carnegie Hall concert a couple years ago and it was AMAZING. This number is just something he did at the end of his concerts on his Release the Stars tour to give the audiences a little taste of what he was working on.

You mean it makes YOU look the fool… its 2 years old, nothing to do with Katie at all. You should work at the Enquirer… they make things up too!

ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS, MARIO? DO YOU THINK THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S "GAY" is better? Isn't that reversed sexism? Which is a crime? Rufus Wainright is an amazing singer who gives me the blues when I need to commisurate and yet cheers me up when I want to be happy. HOWEVER, he did not 'school' Katie. Not in the slightest. He's legs were bent the whole time- as if her were half crouching - (probably because only the best actresses and best drag queens could pull off a musical/dance number in heels, as the are used to them), he didn't have a skirt or skort or bloomers under the tuxedo jacket - just black KC pantyhose and WHITE tidy-whities. Ugh. Every time he raised his arm I just thought, "Oh Rufus, you're killing my memories of Montreal." - Where I was living when an Aquaintence from McGill University first gave me a listen. Perez- I'm still hooked, but he still did most definately not, 'school' Katie Holmes.

Why are you so mean to Katie Holmes? Because she is married to somebody famous and appears to have a happy life? Leave her alone, you are a huge problem in all the negativity in our society. Of course nobody is perfect, but I think you'll end up killing a celebrity one of these days with your words. Nobody is actually able to with stand "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me". They do. Yes I do read your site but you're getting to be very mean and negative towards a lot of people, which leads everyone to believe that you are this scared insecure little boy obsessed with pretty shiny things and then ruining them. Keep yourself in check, your soul would feel better.

Perez is trying to keep himself as relevant as possible. Be nice. His fifteen minutes are coming due but they're not up yet.

You should hear him sing Leonard Cohen IN FRONT of Mr. Leonard Cohen! He is a remarkable, unshakable talent.

Perez, you look like a fool for thinking that was any good. Katie did better, and she hardly did anything at all.

Katie was AWFUL in her "Performance" She didn't dance, She shook her hips and did JAZZ Hands! I think she might have been able to be better than that if only she wasn't a Zombie Scientologist. Poor Katie
