If any young kids are reading this - gay or not, those that are different, those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"…
To them, we say: be yourselves! Be yourself and be brilliant! You can be successful just as you are!
And, remember, Perez loves ya!




Awwww! I love you, Perez! You're like the cool older brother I always wanted!
"And remember, Perez loves ya!"
Yeah, in ways that will haunt your nightmares.
Perez is one ugly Fudge Packer!!!!!!
#16 Perez, your Queen of All Media LOL! How exactly are you influential? You only made the list because a lot of entertainers are still in the closet (cough John Mayer).
You do more to actively create an environment where kids feel like s— about being overweight or unconventional looking than just about anyone else in the media.
Ever wonder how many kids imitated you and taunted someone for the shape of their head, or called someone "-moo" based on a phrase you invented? Think about this as you make statements like "those that aren't stick-thin or conventionally "beautiful"… be yourselves!"
It would be fine if you called people out on their actions or statements but… is Rumer in control of the shape of her head? Does Mariah deserved to be called Mimoo if she gains a few pounds? How about teasing old people for simply looking their age?
You're 30 years old, and yet you throw more schoolyard taunts based purely on looks and weight than many elementary school kids. Grow up!
I have to believe you know this is contradictory and are wrestling with it on some level. There are plenty of other ways to be vicious - since that seems like an inbred need of yours, try getting it out in other ways.
Rosie O'Donnell is listed only as a BLOGGER????
WTF? She's an actor, humanitarian, philanthropist, advocate, entertainer, blogger, and SO much more. ONLY a blogger? Feh! *eyeroll*
I'm #100 YAY! lol
Re: Lisa – AMEN to that, sistah! Mario/Perez is the biggest hypocrite around these days. He just thinks he's "better" and "above" the average person. Earth to Mario/Perez: You AREN'T, ASSHOLE!!!
Very inspirational….someone should send a copy to that congress woman in Oklahoma….forgot her name! Anyway, I'm glad you post these for people to read.
why won't jodie foster admit that she is gay? she is so ashamed about it.
Re: TexasChick – her name was sally kern…i think. something along the lines of that.
*not#100=(*
OMG? "those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"… To them, we say: be yourselves!" WHAT? you made a fortune harassing people because they were not thin or pretty while you look like a fucking whale on meth yourself… you're a fucking psychopath, pigface perez, how can say things like that then look at yourself in the miror? I just can't beleive you made that statement, you're a fucking joke
Are you allowed to 'just be yourself' if you're a Gay Republican. Gimme a freaking break. All any of you really want is for the rest of you to 'just be yourself as long as that's exactly like me'. Booo!
So, we all know they're Republicans and if they're gay why does that make their secret 'DIRTY'? Is the Clintons dirty little secret that they're hetrosexual or that they're members of the Democratic party? How much of this crap can you swallow. Oh, right. You swallow.
Perez kisses Madonna ad nausea. Madonna is Perez's fag hag.
That's real great Perez. Way to be a martyr and stick up for the people in this world that are a little chubby or aren't as attractive as everyone else. Just continue to blast basically everyone that has ever been famous who is a little different and who doesn't look exactly like Kylie Minogue who by the way is a horrible singer….the hypocrisy of this post is insane.
WHO CARES????????????
omg!! they are handsome!! Too bad they are gay
The guy sitting with a black suit with a mohawk IS GORGEOUS!!!!!
What is his name?????????????????
UGH!!! Filthy butt pirates will all go to hell!
why the fuck is Tom Ford # 25? revolutionizing both the european and american fashion industries takes alot more infuence than the 24 people ahead of him.
whos the guy in the fore-fround? he's hot.
Greg Berlanti isn't the show creator or B&S; he's the producer. Job Baitz Robin is the creator.
jesus h christ, your cognitive dissonance knows no bounds! you are one of the biggest perpetrators of oppression of those that are not stick thin, that are not conventionally beautiful, that are still in the closet! do you not see your own hypocrisy, or are you just really that mixed up perez?!
PEREZ IS A SILLY FAT QUEEN WITH NO TALENT AND LIVING HER 15 MINUTES OF FAME
these guys arent even gay. the gay mafia puts this magazine out to keep themselves in the media because the public is so completely bored with it all
Re: Jay – well said Jay, well said! one can only hope that perez wrestles with his hypocrisy on some conscious level, and that one day he'll sort himself out and become a positive force, instead of what he is now.
Condi Rice-She needs to come out if she is going to run for VP.
I just don't get it. I truly don't. U are such a self-serving prick but guess it works for you. I hope others who hate u as much as I do will join in my letter writing campaign to ur advertisers expressing concern over ur content and ur drawings and such. u could have a great approach but u choose to smut it up…. god, when will ur 15 minutes be over????
The magazine cover is hot- oooops that Paris Hilton's favorite word. My bad Paris Hilton and not Perez Hilton.
This comment is for you Perez, I admire a few things about you. Here they are: You have no SHAME at all on how you dress,look, speak or just talk and gossip about people(celebities)do you have any idea what is a mirror or what do you do with it. Dress to fit your body and coordinate your wardrobe, can it be more ridiculous.
THIS I DISLIKE BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE TO USE THE WRD "HATE". YOU ARE AN EMBARRASEMENT FOR THE REST OF GAY PEOPLE, BECAUSE OF GAYS LIKE YOU PEOPLE SAY AND THINK THAT ALL GAYS ARE THE SAME. SO GROW UP. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMOSEXUAL AND F****T. I am ahead on what will your respons will be, so It will not bother me. You might say I am a hater and I envy you. But the only thing I may be hating is that you may have lots money(if you have)
wow way to exclude people:( naturally stick thin people need some lovin too man
If any young kids are reading this - gay or not, those that are different, those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"…
This could only have written by you Perez How dare you say this to young kids. WE ARE ALL THE SAME, DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES,SIZE,WEIGHT,HEIGHT,RACE OR COLOR BUT WE ARE ALL THE SAME.. SO KIDS DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PIECE OF — I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO CALL HIM. OOOOH I HAVE A WORD FOR HIM- IT
SEE, SEE HOW WELL RESPECTED AND AWESOME I AM? IT'S CALLED "OUT" BITCHES AND THAT'S WHAT I DO, OUT PEOPLE. I AM GONNA OUT CONDOLEZZIE RICE AND HILARY CLITLICKING JUST WAIT. COURSE I NEED TO GET A BODYGUARD. ANYONE KNOW IF JOHN MAYER IS AVAILABLE?
Re: CONGRATS!! – PLEASE GET A LIFE BECAUSE PEREZ CANNOT BE A HERO TO ANYONE OR ANYBODY YOU NUST BE HIS TWIN OR PEREZ WANNA BE- WHAT A SHAME
Perez you rock! congrats
Re: highlander – i AGREE WITH YOU HE BUT HE IS NOT UGLY HE IS FUGLY
So funny that Rosie is considered a blogger. Wow how she has fallen from stardom.
Oh pleathe, like we even like that fat bische all doodling schtuff on histh sthoopid schite. All usth hot bisches in SF have a hit on histh azth
You forgot to mention Marc Jacobs at #9!!!
Perez just OD on room service steak and do the world a favor.
Perez: Although you are adorable and funny, the comment to be yourself is silly. You are a gossip blogger who points out the flaws of people!
I know it is your job, and someone has to do it, just it seems that you are susceptible to being a hipocrite. If you really wanted people to act themselves, then half the notes you write wouldn't be as cruel. I love your website, which makes me a hipocrite, too, along with the rest who critisize you. Please don't give your readers false hope that you truly think it is okay to be theirself.
CONGRATS, LOVE!
GOOD YOU DESRVE IT…YOU ARE MY FAVORITE QUEEN….GOOD LUCK…I WANT A SEE YOU ON # 1…
They want this Greg Berlanti guy to direct Green Lantern? DC's most potential franchise which could be the next Star Wars and they want this gay guy who works on pansy shows to direct DC's manliest hero?
What happened to Madam Anderson Cooper? Was she knocked off the list?!?
How can you tell people to "be themselves" with a straight face? You talk shit about every single celeb that's had an off day and takes a bad picture.
Who is that fine ass guy in the front middle on the cover?
suze?!?! word? i had no clue.
Cograts, Perez! You are a cottage industry done good.
HIGHlarious!!! I love the note at the end to everyone that is different!!!!
IT SHOULD READ: WITH EXCEPTION TO THOSE THAT PEREZ DOESN'T LOVE!!!!
YOU ARE THE BIGGEST (NO PUN INTENDED) HYPOCRITE OF THEM ALL!!!!
congrats, mario. sometimes you're a good boy.
What kind of lousy list is this that they have to dredge up your name in the top 20, Perez??? What kind of influence do you wield outside of bitchy attitude? Do we really reward that in our society? Notoriety based on your self-promoting neediness? I'm going to stop now so you can look up a bunch of these words in our dictionary.
'gay or not, those that are different, those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"…To them, we say: be yourselves! Be yourself and be brilliant! You can be successful just as you are!'
Says the person who spends his life judging and making fun of everyone and thing insight!!!
i love you perezers
"those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"… To them, we say: be yourselves!
WHAT A JOKE! You're fat and ugly yourself! Have you finally realized that?
Wow! Your site has become the shits. It's funny that you think you can survive without the artists of Sony BMG. Now all you talk about is yourself, old people, dead people, and z listers…methinks this will be the last time I visit here : D
Perez, were you not thin recently? It is not good or healthy to be overweight. Don't say its ok to be fat. Educate yourself about food and only eat organic.
Perez, you talk out of two sides of your ass. You cut people down if they are not "stick thin", aren't "beautiful", and "different." WTF is that all about? I am all for people sticking up for who they are, but for you to say to be yourself and you can be successful the way your are is being a total hypocrite!
DAMN I WANNA SUCK ALL THEIR COCKS AT THE SAME TIME AND HAVE THEM CUM ALL OVER MY FACE AND DOWN MY THROAT THEN HAVE THEM FUCK ME IN MY ASS!!!!!!!!
But what about the people that are thin?
I'll bet OUT mag wishes they could retract that choice of Fat Ass " influential" after this fucked up week. I'm Gay and I would imagine Most gays who read this piece of shit site feel the same.
THere is so much hate written toward this scumbag in the last 3 days. AMAZING. Poor thing obiously doesnt have a single friend who cares enough to clue the bitch in.
It's a shame this fat pig doesnt (obviously) read the comments on his own site. If he did, he would have jumped on here FRIDAY and responded, sucked it up, apologized or SOMETHING regarding John Mayer. I hope this is finally his downfall. He deserves whatever Karma slaps him in his fat fugly face. Like I said, I'm gay and I'm, sure ALL GAYS now totally hate him. Die, please.
Geez, did all of that hate SPEW out of my typing hands? Oh yeah, it did. sorry.
How is Perez the Queen of All Media? He's a queen, I'll give him that much. But when Howard Stern claimed himself the King of All Media, he had a radio show, television show, book and movie. What does Perez have beside this website? Some appearances on VH1 and MTV specials? I don't see anything powerful about Perez, other than having a powerful belt to hold up his size 48 pants.
Interesting that all of the 'power people' on the cover are men. Even with progressive magazines, women will always be second class.
is there a gay baldwin?
GO YOU!!! 16 is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Lets go for 15 next year! (or better)
This isn't that difficult. Greg Berlanti is on the cover and the Power list and is gay. He's the producer of "Dirty Sexy Money" and "Brothers and Sisters" so his hottest, and not gay, yet clearly not-homophobic stars of those shows appeared on the cover with him. Would anyone buy the magazine with just a Berlanti cover?
Remember folks - it's about people who are "influential" Hitler, Sadam, Pol Pot - very influential. Perez has created a site that draws the worst out in peoples petty hatreds and jealousies - and become so many people post here and read the crap - Perez makes money. I just started reading this site and I do think it has (or will shortly) jumped the shark.
The hypocrasy (as so many have noted) in the posting is mind boggling. It's time for right minded folk to threaten a boycott on products advertised here or any that Perez endorses.
You don't even have to really do it - the mere threat is usually enough to panic advertisers. This site is nothing more than hate. Perez is a mean spirited, seemingly talentless (except self-promotion) person.Remeber you folks that "love" him - he even picks on celebrities' children - how sick is that?
Oh yeah - and in furtherance to my other post - the spelling mistakes were free. No - really - I won't bill anyone. ANd no animals were hurt.
Except a budgie, but it was old anyway
Re: ROMIO –
You and Perez are soul mates. You're both vulgar idiots.
All you do is talk shit about celebrities on a website. You do nothing good for anyone except yourself. Stupid ass list.
-
-
-
You are not influential. And any magazine or business that says you are loses all CREDIBILITY!! WTF do you do..Talk shit about teenage kids or vent your anger about being different.. You are over weight, ugly and prob picked on your whole life and want revenge.. Thats why you are such an asshole with stars or anybody who is successful. Fatass..
-
bEing overweight is not o.k.
Talking shit and putting negative things out in the universe is not o.k.
Anyone one thinking you do anything else but perpetuate hate and drama is a fuckin fool.
sad that you feel being gay is equivalent to… "not being stick thin", etc… it is JUST being gay… it is not a "reaction" to something that is bad… it is just being who you are…. period… it is sad that you view it as a proud reaction to something negative… it just IS!!!!
OMG!!!! ARE YOU FOR SERIOUS! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE GUY FROM BROTHERS AND SISTERS IS GAY!!! OMG!!!!! ARRRRRGG!!!!!! HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAWT!!!! I AM SOOOOO DEVASTATED!!!! I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF….
If any young kids are reading this - gay or not, those that are different, those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"…
your words P !
so why do you always pick on - for instance - Tina ?!
double standards young man !
seriously, alec baldwin is creepy looking..but like…he's gay?!! Whoa..i thought that was just a character thing in Dirty, Sexy, Money…
Welll if "potatoe head" a.k.a. Rumer Willis reads what you wrote Perez, should she take it to heart?… or should she pay attention to your awful trashing of her for her appearance?
LOVE YOU PEREZ! THat's right baby, BE YOURSELF! Enjoy who you are, and most importantly, LOVE EVERYONE EVEN IF THEY DON"T LOVE YOU!!!
congrats!!
Things have come a long way. Maybe not as far along as we'd like…but at least we've progressed to the point where there are out and proud homosexuals that are respected and sucessful. I'm 25 and it wasn't even that way when I was a kid…..
Re: Please die – LMFAOOOO!!
Congrats! You have done what no one else has achieved! You deserve it. Rock on with your bad self.
Yeah it sux to have people make fun of fat people, and gays. Some people are just cruel. For example, I know a person that has been hiding in a closet so to speak because of people like you Perez that belittle people for having religious beliefs. Esp Christian ones. This boy is afraid to tell anyone about his religious beliefs or that he is a Christian. He is afraid what people will call him or act like to him (After all according you he's a monster)
Any of this hitting home a bit Perez? Maybe? A tad?
Is it alright to be a fat gay man, but not a fat Christian or skinny one?
Learn to be a bit more consistent with your "equality" and I might take your posts about it seriously.
You don't want people picking and choosing WHO gets treated with equality and just treat everyone with equality. But you don't practice it.
Shame shame. BTW having a religious belief that tells you someone is wrong does not = a phobia.
That would mean since Christians believe that adultery is wrong, then they must be Heterophobes! According to your own thought process.
Which as most anyone can see now, is faulty. You, just like everyone else, only feel those you feel that are right deserve to be treated equally. Anyone that disagrees with your beliefs are trash, scum, homophobic and other hate filled bigoted names.
No Perez, you don't want everyone to be treated equally. Just the "cool" gay fatties.
Do you ever get tired of tooting your own horn? You've got to be the biggest hypocrite on the planet and you having any amount of "influence" is ridiculous.
I thought David Geffen was number 1.
WHY DO THEY HAVE AWARDS LIKE THIS. HOMOSEXUALITY IS JUST PLAIN DISGUSTING AND PERVERTED. THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE AWARDS FOR OTHER DISGUSTING BEHAVIOURS LIKE "MOST INFLUENTIAL NOSE PICKERS" OR "MOST INFLUENTIAL FARTERS" ETC….
Congratulations, Perez. Your words will lift spirits. I'm not gay, but I'm not the conventional beauty either, so I embrace being different (Afro-American) and forging my own path.
Ellen DeGeneres is a whiner whose top concern seems to be lining her pockets. Jodie Foster is not closeted. She came "out" when she was ready to publicly address her private life. You can't force a time schedule on her, she has the right to speak when she is ready. Indeed, Rock Hudson and many others never came out. Gore Vidal has yet to be definitive and has danced around the issue for decades.
Did the more people of color make the list? Whites need the gentle reminder that they are not the center of the universe.
I love your site and I'm very happy for you. You are so crazy and cute.
Re: SarahSahara – Hey sarahmambitche. how about most judgemental jerk off? Hey that's you !!!
Hey,
I think the lard in your fat ass is taking over your brain… You're so happy to be listed among this influential people, including the Baldwin brother who opposed gay marriage! I don't know which is more pathetic you or the Out magazine.
Looks like a lot of people are already commenting on what I was going to say. You, Perez, criticize people on a daily basis and have nerve giving advice to people to "be yourself". Dang!! That is so hypocritical! You make your living criticizing others.

"If any young kids are reading this - gay or not, those that are different, those that aren't stick-thin, those that aren't conventionally "beautiful"…
To them, we say: be yourselves! Be yourself and be brilliant! You can be successful just as you are!"
SO I HAVE TO ASK YOU PEREZ, WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL TO RUMER WILLIS? SHE IS YOUNG AND DIFFERENT, NOT THE HOLLYWOOD BEAUTY, AND YOU ARE SO CRUEL TO HER. YOUR COMMENTS HERE COMPLETELY CONTRADICT YOUR ACTIONS. SHAME ON YOU.
OH THATS FREAKY, MY REPLY ABOVE IS ALMOST THE SAME AS
#65 - Say What????!!
we are all thinking the same!
THEY SHOULD CALL THAT
MAGAZINE "IN" THE BUTT
Did you see this? All the bros and ho's boys are gay?
