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!




I am a little confused why you say "be beautiful the way you are" when you make a living ripping people for not being perfect.
Perez loves you until you look bad in a photo shoot or wear the wrong dress on the red carpet, then he'll ridicule you on the website and call you lame or stupid.
Love you too Perez!
Hey Perez…You know what, when you started out you were so much harsher and cynical and…well….nastier…Today, it amazes and delights me to recognize how you have turned your celebrity and more importantly yourself into (dare I say) a lovely role model…you still have your edge, but your heart seems to grow larger with each day…you old softie…"with great power comes great responsibility"
Who's the young guy in the middle?
Re: Diane – wtf? you're delusional… you're probably perez injecting positive comments in here
yeah- you are a GREAT role model for kids- gay or otherwise. lesson: you too can go to any length to be famous. go ahead- start a website whose main mission is to have laughs/sneers at other human being's expense. what a NOBLE way to be considered "powerful"!! way to go perez!!
there is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich" Marlene Dietrich knew what she was talking about and is a much better role model for gay kids. stick with 'adults' who know they are being shallow.
Re: Odes to Perez –
you are AWESOME. so well said. write a song for John Mayer!!!
1 day we will see John Mayer face on the cover when he grow a spine.
Yeah I heard Mayer front with women during the day and sleeps with guys at night. We may one day see him on the cover.
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!!!!!!!!
how tha fuck does Ellen win #1 when she has a "Gay Clause" in her contract…guess Out is sellin out now too…
yay Perez
VOTE HILARY
she is FIGHTING for GAY rights & America and not giving up ! GO GIRLS
VOTE HILARY!
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"…
I PEREZ WILL STILL TAKE IT UPON MYSELF (IF YOU EVER GET SOME KIND OF FAME OR ARE SOMEHOW RELATED TO SOMEONE WITH FAME) TO MAKE YOU FEEL AWFUL ABOUT YOURSELF. I WILL POST PICTURES WITH CRUEL STATEMENTS JUST BECAUSE I CAN.
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?
hm i wonder how anderson cooper feels about being #3??
uhhh, i'm not quite sure how to say this… but… aren't there only about 50 gay people that are out? or is everyone on the list and they just switch it up each year?
Awww Perez… congratulations. And love ya!!!
shouldn't this really read "for those of you that are different, be yourselves…..so we can point out, make fun of and exploit those differences.
Although you would probably eat me up and spit me out, it is nice to hear that there are people who can succeed by just being themselves. Hope I can do the same Congrats!
Re: SERIOUS AS CANCER – i don't know that posting a link to a tshirt that basically tells britney to kill herself (see one of the posts soon after heath ledger's death) is not hurting anyone. we read this site for news and thats fine; no one forces me to read this and i accept it. but he should not be coming off all high and mighty promoting people to be confident about their flaws when that's exactly what he picks on.
YOU have NOW proven once and for all..YOU ARE A HYPOCRIT! If someone does something you dont approve or or dont like, you are all over it like stink on shit…unless, of course, it has to do with being gay. The comment you made, To them, we say: be yourselves! Be yourself and be brilliant! You can be successful just as you are, proves it so. As others have said, just stick with the damn celebrity gossip and keep your own political and NON-political opinions to yourself! If I want opinions, I read the editorial pages…What a kiss ass you have become!
