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.

no celine?!?!?!?!?!?!
Fair or not fair darlin , you will get many bad things coming your way when you create a site that may have some interesting pieces , tainted with cruelty , lies and bullshit . It's a wonder you are still alive with all your limbs intact mario…
TEAM PEREZ!!!! I hope this issue will be resolved soon. =) I want my regular happy Perez back.
And I agree with Meg. Please don't write anymore about Paris What'sherface. I can't stand her. AT ALL.

What the hell makes you think that artists are successful because you support them? I pay no attention to any of your recommendations and go with with I like. YOu seriously need to get over yourself. I can't wait for the day that someone brings you back down to earth.

*THIS IS THE LAST TIME I EVER VISIT THIS SITE* - I refuse to waste any more of life with this brain rotting Perez Hilton CRAP - (copy and paste this everybody)
Im sorry man, that really sucks ]=
Perez, Sorry you have to go through all of this. I'm not sad about the jLO part, I won't miss anything on her here to be honest. Nice to see Mariah's label is not like Justin Timberlake & the others! Have a nice night!!
Good for you….being on this site helps artists. Piss on them.
Finally your azz is getting sued!!! You are the one that made it PERSONAL Perez! And what's the funniest thing…>ROFL!!!!!
It doesnt hurt when people bend you over and teach you a lesson, so…they will hit you in your Pocket!!!
I just hope Aviril sues your ass too…and Mimi, and Britney, and everybody!
Its ok to post the gossip going around, but it's not ok to say the horrible, and UNTRUE things you say about half of these people!!! Remember the things you were wishing on Britney…then almost all of your fan base turned on you, so you start kissing her ass!
You better clean up your act, and start showing a little respect…or…im sure this will happen 10 times over. There bigger than you perez….yes, bigger than your fat ass!!! See thats fact!! I hope you push a grocery cart around soon after this!
SEE THE LIGHT!!!
GET A LIFE. As if those artists can help it that their label is suing you. Ugh. Are we in kindergarten?
thaz what yo ass get for being bias ,racist, and unfairly stupid…..hillary just emailed me trying to borrow some money-i forwarded your email,help yo girl out ………out of the race she is loosing-holla ! if ya hear me!
This site should be about your raw opinion. You shouldn't get political and change what you post based on your personal issues-that's not what ppl come to the site for.
so, does this mean you won't be writing about britney anymore? because really, you'd be losing more money than sony bmg by boycotting her.
great post.
bmg made a very very dumb mistake by trying to make an example of you on such a trivial thing.
i really hope you win that case.
and you have balls for writing about it here while it's still on going.
righteous.
Hope it all gets straightened out! I'm with you Perez!!! Fuck those haters!!!!!!!!
ALL YOU TWEEN GENIUS COPYRIGHT ASSHATS OUT THERE…FUCK OFF, SONY INVEST TONS OF $$$ IN ARTIST THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY….LETS SEE HOW YOU ASSHOLES FEEL IF YOUR WORK WAS COPIED AND DISTRIBUTED FOR FREE….GROW THE HELL UP
Re: Undercover – WELL SAID , WELL SAID !!!!! MARIO TRASHED THE HELL OUT OF BRITNEY , ADDED TO HER DEMISE AND NOW HE'S KISSING HER ASS , WHAT A TRAITOR .
This is what happens for making fun of Grandma Lohan! It's called Karma.
P .S. SONY SUCKS BIG TIME AND THEY ARE BROKE >>>>so thats why they are pulling a HILLARY !!!!!
Didn't you do a story on celine last week?
STICK TO THE MAN PEREZ! I STILL READ YOUR SITE NO MATTER WHAT
I'm glad you explained something that I have been curious about for some time–
Hey Ermano , well maybe its time to help promote Artists who would never sue and truly appreciate your support.
Hasta pronto _ KArina Nuvo
www.karinanuvomusic.com
all the ones bashing the site, your gonna look stupid when Perez reveals this to be an APRIL FOOLS!
LOOK AT THE DATE FUCKERS!
i really did wonder when lawsuits and such would follow blogging.
I mean, it's hard to understand why more celebs have not already sued. But i guess in the end it would just make them look petty and silly.
So does this mean that you will not post anything about justin timberlake,xtina etc? Or just things music related?
If you aren't able to talk about these people anymore, lots more will follow.I guarantee. Sad. I enjoy reading about shit that doesn't concern me.
ew fuck those corporate assholes!i got your back perezzers, your just sharing your love of music with the world.i love you!
Don't they know ALL PRESS is GOOD PRESS!
Suck it up. What did you expect?
P - I STILL LOVE YOU AND YOU CAN STILL FLAUNT IT LIKE YOU GOT IT! SONY NEEDS TO TAKE A LESSON FROM BRITNEY & CO…..
ANY publicity is GOOD publicity……
you say they sue their customers? do any of you honestly think perez pays for music? he gets all that shit for free. and with all the times he's been warned about posting copyrighted music, he still does it. hence he got sued. its not like they just sued him out of the blue. he got caught and must pay the price. and the whole blackmailing them by threatening to not talk about their artists won't work. there are tons of other blogs who promote artists and follow the law and perez's site will fade. i used to be such a huge supporter but the more and more this site becomes about him and less about celebs, the less I frequent it.
Send us a link or email to send the people of Sony our support to you! thanx for doing what u do! u make our nights most exiting!!!
perez, i'm on ur side for this one. i think its so wrong for sony BMG to single you out like that. screw the haterrrss!
keep up the awesome gossip tho!
please get more dirt on jennifer aniston tho.
i want to hear more about her!
love yaaa
dont feel bad.
sony bmg is all fucked up since they merged. the bosses there dont know what they are doin
well i gotta say im not going to be reading this site as much because christina and justin are two of my favorites!!! this makes me sad cause i love the stuff you write!! oh well
You may be in the right, but one who wins without dignity does not win at all. Get real, get over it, and get over yourself.
OMMMMMMMG Leona is gonna be so sad with Song BmG cos you and her are such great friends
Fuck it! I won't support those artists either.
hehe, I love it when the hand that feeds bitch slaps corporate conglomerates! Go Perez! Sony can kiss some serious free advertisements good bye!
Re: blahblah –
I don't understand why you people read his blog and take the time to comment if you hate him so much. It makes no sense to me.
Go Perez! We love ya!
Ha ha! I hope they run your ass through the cleaners! Karma is a wonderful thing and all of the money you have made off of putting people down and ruining lives is about to be a huge payback to them all.
John Mayer said it correctly in his recent blog.
You may not lose everything with this lawsuit, but I hope you do!
perez why dont you provide a link for us to write to sony, thats crazy, because your sit is vistied by millions , and even if you are posting negative things about these artists you are still promoting them, provide a link, i will write to them! thanks bitch!lol
TEAM PEREZ
all my support
love you and the site!
song/BMG can SHOVE IT! half the stuff they produce is stolen material. they are low handed shady business dealers that will do ANYTHING to make a buck. they need to step into reality and take that stick outta their asses.

Perez, this sucks.
Hopefully the suit will work out in your favor! :]
If you cared about the artists as you claimed you do, then it wouldn't matter. Now we see that your "support" is basically a lie. Better not fuck with the big boys little lat man, you will lose AND they will take your site down…which is what you need.It's about time you got a taste of your own bitter medicine bitch!
karma perez…karma
muahahahaha
Re: eat it – didn't you write this about kim kardashian?
Um you kind of deserve the lawsuite babe. Your gonna lose readers if you stop writing about some of people's favorite stars for your selfish immature reasons.
FUCK SONY BMG!
wow…perez, you turned me on to adele, kleerup, gossip and so much more.
they are fucking themselves.
i found adele through you. they should at least give you a free cd for that. lol.
sony's fucked cuz no one buys cds anymore anyway. as for jlo that bitch hasn't had a in years, celine dion too and usher blows
Perez, I am so glad you told us all about this! It is RIDICULOUS and you are right- any label should be glad to have you as a friend. SBMG is obvioulsly being run by morons and idiots. I am very suprised, though, that one or more of these artists that are friendly with you don't step up and stand up to these corporate pigs on your behalf. I will make sure that SBMG doesn't get a dime of my money- I will LimeWire their songs instead of buying them! PLEASE keep us updated on this situation and let us know what is going on. Keep your chin up, there is always someone who wants to bring down anyone enjoying success!

AW PEREZITOOOO!!
ITS OKK..
UR THE BESTTTTTTTTT!!
SCREW SONY…THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABT…ITS NOT UR FAULT BRITNEY'S CDs DIDN'T SELL…THEY ARE JST BEING BITTER…(MIGHT AS WELL PICK ON SOMEONE..ATTITUDE) WHATEVER…
BUT LEONA IS THE BEST..AND U TOO!! LOV YA
i think its so hysterical how many comments are negative toward Perez. By visiting his website you're supporting him so your comments only make you look foolish. Focus your energy toward something you support. I support Perez. Many comments include hateful insults and namecalling in reaction to Perez's sometimes negative observations. What sense does it make to fight fire with fire? The reason Perez is an icon is because when he's a bitch its funny. Because he's likable and relatable. When you post your often misspelled, silly, childish reactions it only helps Perez. So please, read another website (or perhaps a book), go back and finish highschool, and do something positive with your life because your negativity is rediculous. Perez… you are a star and I will always support you, your crazy atics, hilarious comments and edited pictures…coke noses for all! love. emily.
Wtf? are you serious? that sucks! Don't worry P, karma's a b-tch and they'll get what's coming to them when you stop promoting their artists. Fight the power p-nasty!
be strong Perez. Love energy to you.
Good for you. If they never sent a cease and desist, they have no right to sue. Big bullies.
BUUUUUUUU SONY ……….. TE QUEREMOS PEREZITO DESDE MEXICO
Good for you! I also have no doubt that you helped keep Britney relevant as the date approached for her albums release. It was the "leaked" songs that got me excited about Blackout…They should be giving you some moolah for promotion…They certainly did not do much. I love it when big corps go after the guys they should be praising….
Your an ass sometimes but your heart is in the righjt place!
whatever! if it were not for you perez I would have never stumbled upon some of the best music, (ie yelle, ttc, meiko, the list goes on) which has even lead me to PURCHASE their cd's. Keep promoting, youre helping them out so much!

Bueno Perez espero que siendo cubano puedas leer el español, pues que feo que los de Sony se pongan así, en verdad (como comunicologo) te digo que tu sitio es un buen empuje para las nuevas promociones sobre todo donde la musica esta cambiando al formato digital y pues tu eres parte de este nuevo cambio en los medios, mala suerte para los de SOny ganen o no al final los que leemos tu blog la pasaremos mejor, en fin un saludo y animos desde Veracruz, México vale? soy un leyente asiduo de tu blog asi que siguele que esto es genial vale? un abrazo y animo latino
-Atonio Posh
You an't talk about Chris Brown anymore either, because he is on Jive!
This is the first time that I've ever posted a comment, but oh well.
Essentially, I read Perez Hilton every day for bogus, brainless celebrity drama.
Why? Because it's free entertainment, and that's why everyone else does it too.
But at least I don't waste my time doubly by then commenting completely inane shit on a message board.
If you honestly don't like what you're reading, why the fuck do you waste your time to visit it everyday, and make a fucking statement?
Are you just pissed that no one is listening to YOU?
WHAT ASSHOLES…….FREE PUBLICITY…….
MAKES ME GLAD I RIPPED THEM OFF SO MANY TIMES WITH THEIR TAPE-RECORD-CDS MAIL ORDER CLUBS..HAHA SONY…POOP ON YOU TOMMY MOTTOLA.
sorry to hear that perez. i guess Sony feels they don't need your support for their artists, which is a shame. when you recommend singers, i always check them out. sometimes i like…sometimes i don't ;o)
as for the people bad mouthing you, not that it bothers you but, they are obviously still reading you! chin up! love x
THANK GOD,PLEASE NEVER MENTION JENNIFER LOPEZ AGAIN,BECAUSE THAT FUCKING BITCH GETS ON MY NERVES,AND WE HATE HER,WE HATE DIVAS!!!WE CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE OF HER DIVA TANTRUMS,SHE SHOULD GO FIX SOMETHING FOR HERSELF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,THAT FUCKING SCUMBAG BITCH!!!!JENNIFER LOPEZ,JUST KILL YOURSELF ALREADY!!!!!GO DIE JLO,DIE DIE DIE!!!
Hate to point this out perez but most of those artists would probably be happy if you never mention them again. Just sayin.
I love how people put down negative comments and are quick to point out other peoples faults. Bunch of bullies. If u don't like his site then why do u put a comment on here anyways????????? Thanks to your stupid pointless comments you up his popularity. Can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
I'm sure SONY'S stock can weather the hit.
Honestly, this is one of the most pathetic and transparent attempts at emotional blackmail that I've ever seen. You must be really scared of how much SONY/BMG is going to win in this lawsuit if you're already trying to appeal to their sense of mercy. Well, guess what? They're a record company; they don't have a heart!
And your "I didn't know if these were real Britney tracks or fakes" defense is as limp as your wrist. That kind of tactic won't hold up in court.
This is what you get for so ruthlessly mowing down innocent people and celebrities with your vitriol and your bile. Choke on it, Fatty McFelon!!!!
fuck you perez. i hope sony rapes your ass…no wait, you'd probably enjoy that. i hope they fuck your shit up big time. that's better.
that's nice. they sewed you because you were the only one ripping the poor girl to shreds. you called a fucking boycott on her music. why would sony sew a fan website that loves britney and wants to support her?
i honestly believe that if you hadn't said alot of the stuff that you did last year about spears, then she wouldn't have freaked out as bad as she did.
and why aren't you boycotting spears? oh….because she makes your money. i forgot about that.
I would not have known about Leona, or her song Bleeding Love if not for you, Perez. And I did pay to download it on iTunes. Yep, they just don't realize how much influence you have.
that is awful, perez! how how will i get my justin timberlake gossip? this is fucking ridiculous…
hahha you are so full of shit perez …you still write about the one that you are getting sued over…britney…and you have also writtin about several of those other very recently….so you can jump off the soap box
suits you right, you fat Britney hating piece of shit
Also, for all you heartless people who continue to moan and groan about the stupid, wrong, offensive, dumb shit Perez writes about these celebrities, look at what you're writing about Perez, the same stupid, wrong, offensive, and dumb shit. Think before you speak.
At the end of the dya, they are all humans, and Perez has feelings you know!
Perezzers thats so sad…im sorry
Good for you Perez! If i were you i would just talk shit about their artists….instead of not increasing sales why not decrease?!!
Re: eat it..GET..A..LIFE..LOSER
TEAM PEREZ!!!!!
KARMA is a bitch, isn't it Perez?!?!?!? I can only hope that this is the beginning of the end for you!
I've just heard that the William Morris Agency is about to launch a new division by the name of BuzzTemple or Buzz Temple for online marketing and online PR. Any info?
Dori.

Suck it up and take it - you have ripped off everyone on the internet, yet when someone sues you its "not right".
If only you had some type of talent or business that others could rip off, you would see how it feels maybe, but of course you couldn't POSSIBLY know what that feels like since you have nothing except for everyone else's work.
I'd say your days of leeching off everyone else are about over. Sorry but it's true.
We KNOW that our support can help their artists, some of our favorites, immensely.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
FULL OF YOURSELF MUCH?
DON'T FOOL YOURSELF PEREZ!
YOU'RE ONLY THAT POWERFUL IN YOUR OWN MIND.
LOLOL
IT'S SO OBVIOUS YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A PITIFUL
INSECURE WANNABE.
SOMETIMES WE'RE EMBARASSED FOR YOU.
The only reason I come to your site is to see what wonderful things you've written about Christina lately. WACK! Guess I'll have to stick to xtinaweb.org
It's a shame Perez, cuz I'm latina and love supporting other latinos but… the other people you write about are kinda… lame. Oh well. Hopefully they'll drop the lawsuit.
Sorry to hear! On your side completely. Some ppl just don't seem to get the connection between fame and success, and how this fame building has changed during the last few years. Internet is the key forum. Reverse attitude - all the same. It's all fame anyway. As anyone can see how you manage to tempt people either lovin or hatin you to write down their comments and viewing your site. Humorous, ironical and sarcastic point of view just seems to take some extra-ability to get! I haven't seen you breaking the law
Anyone reading your blog a little more should see you're everything but a hater.
I respect what you've built. And all your fame and success comes from our readers/lovers/haters urge to enertain ourselves.
(uuh…Am I getting a little deep here..?) But u guys reading this get me, right? Don't need to be a media-anthropologist to see the point.
Ppl don't take things sooooo seriously. Some of u writing here and telling Perez hi's so unmature and rude, then tell him to jerk off or something..come on!! A tiny peak in the mirror and you see..??
Love ya ALL! (Remember to recycle, turn off the lights, TV, computer, watertap when not in use)
Leona Lewis looks like a guy.I'm sure she's a tranny.
It's thier loss! This website has the ability to showcase music that's better than any advertising that labels could ever do. They are stupid…this was always free PR. Even if they didn't agree with your opinion…good or bad…millions of people were exposed to these artists and thier music. I've learned about new artists and become a fan of thier music through Perez. Stupid….they don't see the potential.
good for you perez!
Yes, but will you write about Britney??
WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT ADELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
