Sienna Miller: Perez is tacky, I battle with public perception of my acting


Sienna Miller is now in Positano, Italy with her married boyfriend, the actor and oil heir Balthazar Getty. Miller, 26, and father of four Getty, 33, were photographed kissing on a boat on Saturday. Miller was topless and wearing only her bikini bottoms. The two also enjoyed lunch on the balcony of their hotel in Italy. Getty was wearing a shirt but Miller apparently forgot hers again. You can see those photos at Mr. Paparazzi’s site.

There’s a new interview in the British version of OK! Magazine with Miller. She was asked to name the worst thing she’s seen written about herself, and she said that Perez Hilton scrawled the word “slutty” over a picture of her visiting her grandparents’ grave:

What’s the worst thing you’ve seen written about yourself…
Oh God. I went to see my grandparents’ grave with my father and they took a photo of us sitting. Above Miller on the tombstone [Perez Hilton, internet blogger] wrote ’slutty.’ I just thought that was unbelievably tacky. That was a weird place to be papped. There are times when you have no idea someone is there and then suddenly there’s a photo and that is always a bit weird.

[From OK! Magazine, UK print edition, July 15, 2008]

She also repeated the claim that I’ve heard her go on about before that the media attention takes away from the public’s perception of her acting ability. She said essentially the same thing in an interview with The Times in June. She also brought up the war and starving people as if we’re the ones being heartless by paying attention to her. And then Miller says that hopefully the public will stop noticing all the crap she gets up to with married men and be awed by her acting ability instead:

Do you feel you’re treated unfairly by the media?
They don’t want me to be a good actress, they want me to be what they say that I am, which is actually very far from the truth. But at the end of the day it’s not a big deal. I mean, there’s a war on, people are starving, we live on a little island and it’s not important.

But still it’s your private life everyone wants to know about…
I think with time.. All I can do is focus on work and try to do a good job. Hopefully, eventually that will supersede the other less meaningful aspects of my life, but it’s a process, you know. It’s a battle.

[From OK! Magazine, UK print edition, July 15, 2008]

Yeah, it’s a battle for sure for Sienna, and she’s throwing in the towel by going on vacation with a married guy and whipping her top off every chance she gets. She’s calling the fact that she’s cavorting topless with a married man “a less meaningful aspect” of her life when compared to her acting. I bet his wife doesn’t feel that way. Somehow Sienna seems to bring the slut with her wherever she goes, whether it’s tacky or not to point it out.

I looked through Perez’s site for about five minutes and couldn’t find the photo in question, so if you have a direct link for that slutty cemetery pic please comment with it.

Perez Hilton gets a fashion line with Hot Topic


The world’s most obnoxious gossip blogger/celeb wannabe, Perez Hilton, doesn’t need anymore encouragement, what with his website, his own VH1 show and numerous red carpet commentaries, but he’s getting it anyway. This time, it’s in the form of his own fashion line at that Emo mall staple, Hot Topic.

Notorious blogger and “Queen of All Media,” Perez Hilton, can now also call himself a “designer.”

On Tuesday, Perez announced plans to introduce a clothing and accessories line, to be sold exclusively at Hottopic.com and in all Hot Topic stores nationwide.

Perez Hilton for Hot Topic will feature women’s t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. Hilton, who’s real name is Mario Lavandeira, said the decision to put his name behind a line of clothing and accessories seemed like a natural next step.

“2008 is all about expanding the Perez Brand,” the blogger explained. “I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what’s hot and what’s not.”

Hilton says the success of his website encouraged him to look beyond the boundaries of cyberspace.

“It seems natural to make products that my readers will love and hopefully some guys will rock it too,” he said. “Some people might even call me a perfectionist, well that person would be me! I’m very passionate about my brand. I have extremely high standards and I like to get my hands dirty!”

The line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades–just to name a few.

The celebrity blogger also plans to sell tote bags, socks and earrings, and says fans will even be able to buy their own Perez Hilton journal, so they can be as nasty as P-Nasty himself.

“I’m most excited to finally see on the shelves products that are good and affordable for my readers,” Hilton said. “I actively sought out Hot Topic for that reason.”

[From OK! Magazine]

I really don’t understand this. Stop encouraging him, people! And furthermore, who the hell thinks this man knows anything about fashion- he can’t even dress himself! While he has a point about the ghastly clothing lines by B- and C-list celebs that are crawling out of the woodwork, this is a man who dressed like an ice cream man for his big birthday bash, and on his best day is a poster boy for the unwashed hipster slob movement. Well, now that I think about it, I guess that’s why Hot Topic wanted him so bad.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton turns 30; people pretend to care


Perez Hilton, the swishy, often blue-haired gossip blogger who has as many enemies as he does fans, threw himself a bash for his 30th birthday. Dubbed his “Quinceañera (Part 2),” the party included performances by the Pussycat Dolls and was attended by celebs such as Marc Jacobs, Amanda Bynes and Jerry O’Connell, as well as a gaggle of has-beens and annoying reality show stars. My guess is, either they wanted Perez to mention them on his blog, or they want to make sure he says something nice about them and not draw rude lines on their photos. Perez, ever the shameless self promoter, detailed the party this morning– using the royal “We,” of course– on his blog.

We had asked Pussycat Dolls founder and creative director Robin Antin to put together a special “Perez Dolls” for our big 30th birthday bash.

She had an audition at the Millennium Complex, Britney’s fave, and hundreds of dancers showed up. That’s what we were expecting.

Perez got the surprise of his life when The Pussycat Dolls appeared on stage at our party this past weekend.

He had NO idea!

And, he was especially shocked that lead Doll Nicole Scherzinger agreed to do it, and, we’re told, she was very excited about.

“I have been lucky enough to be featured on PerezHilton.com on several occasions,” said Nicole. “When you’ve reached my stature, perhaps you too can have cum dripping out of your mouth,” she joked.

LOVED it!

[From Perez Hilton.com]

I love how that item was written to make us think that Perez himself wasn’t writing it. The party was sponsored by a variety of advertisers, including, hilariously enough, Burger King and KY lubricant. Perez, dressed all in white and looking more like a deranged ice cream man than a celeb, posed with The King, that creepy mascot from Burger King commercials. Supposedly, Perez has been on a diet with the goal of looking svelte and fierce for his birthday. Mission not accomplished.

Note by Celebitchy: If I made 1/10th or what Perez does in a year I would be elated. The guy seems like a douche of the highest degree, but he also works super hard and does break some exclusives despite his willingness to take credit for a lot of other people’s work. It’s not easy being a gossip blogger, and Perez does deserve some kudos for putting his fat face out there. Although he could be called a fame whore for it too.

I would also like to say that Jerry O’Connell is teh sex.

Shown at Perez Hilton’s birthday party are Jerry O’Connell, Marc Jacobs and Austin A, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Amanda Bynes, Dannii Minogue, Nick Cannon, Khloe Kardashian, Harvey Levin of TMZ, Candis Cayne, and DJ AM. Thanks to PRPhotos.

Perez Hilton flashes his ball sack to photographer

perez.jpg
Orange-haired gossip queen Perez Hilton is now up to the same tricks as more attractive psuedo-celebrities like Lohan, Paris and Britney. He flashed his nut to a photographer and acted completely ok with it.

It seems like the woman taking the videotape asks him to show his balls, and his quickly complies saying “I’ll show you a ball.” The video is below, and the balls are blurred out but it’s still not safe for work or if you’re eating lunch.

Maybe Perez realizes some sort of media strategy is in order since Jason “Gummi Bear” Davis turned down his offer of running a mile with him and then competing to see how many hotdogs they could eat. I’m pretty sure Perez threw in the running thing at the beginning in order to get Gummi Bear to refuse.

He could also be understandably nonchalant about flashing a ball, because he reports on shit like that every week and figures everyone else does it. The media cycle is so fast that it almost doesn’t matter what the idiot celebrities do, their antics are quickly forgotten. That could explain Britney’s full ass flash and Paris’ deliberate double nip-slip last week. They’ve got to do something to get us to pay attention now that the public has realized their talents are sorely lacking.

Update: Now that I reluctantly watch this again, Perez seems to volunteer to show his balls instead of being asked. He says “I’ve got big balls, and I’ll show them to you right now if you want.” It’s hard to tell because the clip is mercifully brief, but I think I was mistaken in thinking that he was asked first.

Perez Hilton challenges Gummi Bear to running and eating contest


Maybe Perez Hilton realizes this is a shitty week for gossip and is trying to spice it up in his own ridiculous way. Either that or he’s desperately trying to get some attention for his upcoming VH1 reality show. The Queen of all ripped off paparazzi pictures has challenged Brandon Davis’ larger and lesser-known brother, Jason Davis, commonly known as Gummi Bear, to a hotdog eating contest outside of popular LA store Kitson.

Maybe Perez doesn’t really want to go through with it, though, because he proposes that before attempting to chow down as many dogs as possible they run a mile. I’m guessing the running part is to discourage Gummi from participating. It also doesn’t sound like a legitimate eating contest to me because there’s no time limit mentioned.

It could also be the case that Perez is trying to get some material worthy of 5 minutes of airtime on VH1. His “What Perez Says” show will supposedly debut in September. The majority of the footage of Victoria Beckham light-footing around scowling got discarded for her reality show and was cut to just a one hour special that tanked. Maybe Perez fears a similar fate, as earlier stories had his reality show being denied for lack of celebrity friends. Just have someone shit on the floor and say they couldn’t hold it and it’ll be good enough for VH1.

Perez and Gummi Bear’s biathalon will take place today at 5:00 pm PST if Gummi accepts the challenge.

Perez is shown below at Tori Spelling’s BBQ for her “Inn Love” reality series on 7/16. I understand that it’s easy to gain weight when you’re in front of the computer all day. Carbs must be hard to resist when you work in a coffee shop, but it’s like he’s become a parody of himself. With that bright orange hair and the ridiculous way he dresses maybe he is subconsciously trying to make himself into the biggest target possible. He’s showing the public that he’s not afraid of our ire and that insults just bounce off of him. It’s like he’s saying “take your best shot people,” I’m large, orange and in charge.

Header image is of Perez at Outfest 2007 LA Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on 7/14. I wonder if anyone talked to Perez at the festival or if he was mostly met with scowls. Gummi Bear is shown below at the beach in January. Thanks to Splash for these pictures.

Perez Hilton completely ignores “Paris Exposed” scandal


People are pissed at maligned gossip blogger Perez Hilton for staying completely mum on the ParisCarriage scandal. I paid for access to the Paris Exposed site before it fell victim to popularity this weekend, and there is so much good dirt there it’s incredible. Paris Exposed is a website containing a treasure trove of incriminating pictures, videos, love letters and personal diaries of the heiress that she lost rights to by failing to pay the storage facility where they were held.

This weekend Perez posted pictures of Mischa Barton’s boyfriend, Cisco Adler, posing in the nude. Cisco has disturbingly huge balls, and I briefly posted the pictures here before I felt ashamed and pulled them down. (It’s one thing to show some naked women, and another to push the envelope with that crap. I don’t want anyone’s kid to accidentally see that scary shit.)

Commentors were quick to point out that Perez got the pictures from the “Paris Exposed” website, which he never credited or mentioned once on his site. (this link to the comment below is incredibly NSFW)

So Paris Hilton had a bunch of her belongings stored in a storage unit and she forgot to pay for it. Well the owner sold it all off. Now its all online at www.parisexposed.com. Apparently the guy who purchased everything took pictures of every item. The items included are a bill for an abortion Paris got done in 2003, pics of her enjoying some coke, pot and other drugs, videos/pictures of her naked, notes she wrote about her bulemia and her Valtrex usage for her herpes. Yet Perez isnt talking about any of this. Instead he is chosing to pick on the other people involved in this scandel such as Mischa Barton’s boyfriend and Nicole Ritchie. What a fucking loser! How can he call people out on this Paris herself is doing?! To top it off Paris and her people are stating that this was done by someone out to get her and that Paris, once again, is the victim. Im sorry but how is she a victim when all of this stuff is true and documented by none other than Paris Hilton herself. Shes a idiot and the biggest train wreck of them all. I mean have you ever heard of a case this bad before? Dumb bitch documented all of it

I saw the bill in question for an “abortion,” and it looks like Paris, or “Amber” as she called herself, did have a legitimate miscarriage.

A lot of people are skeptical of all this data on Paris, and some suspect her of releasing it to get publicity. To me it seems like a legitimate problem for Paris, who must be incredibly ashamed. Her ex boyfriend, Joe Francis, who is featured on the bubble bath and Ibiza party videos on the site, said he tried to buy the stuff himself but they wanted an incredibly $7 million for it. They’re said to be exploring legal options now.

This scandal is way bigger than Britney’s quadruple crotch reveal before the holidays, and to act like it doesn’t exist because you have a personal relationship with a celebrity is pretty lame. The least Perez could do would be to acknowledge it and call his friend Paris a victim or whatever.

Watch this blow up huge this week, and all Perez is doing is showing us Cisco’s huge balls and acting like he pulled them the pictures out of his ass.

Lance Bass’ partner, Reichen, tells Perez Hilton to stuff it


Lace Bass’ partner, Amazing Race reality TV star Reichen Lehmkuhl, has blogged on his myspace about Perez Hilton’s claims that he’s been cheating on Lance. He says he and Lance are still together, and that Perez makes shit up to increase his traffic:

Mario Lavendeira (PerezHilton.com) is a Big (blank) Ugly Liar, an Accused Thief and Criminal

All,

From the Horse’s Mouth: Just a friendly reminder that when you read websites like PerezHilton.com, you are reading lies and are being taken advantage of as you make more money for a person who does nothing but fabricate stories to make his site look interesting.

That anyone would trust someone like Mario Lavendeira (PerezHilton.com) who STEALS from photographers, bloggers, and the general population, is beyond me, really. This person is a common criminal.

Contrary to what this ugly wind-bag has reported, I have not broken up with my boyfriend. I did not go home with anyone from “Survivor” from any party. I have not “made out with” anyone at a party while I have been with my boyfriend. The opposite has been written on his site. It is all a complete and blantant lie. This person is a liar. Period.

My book was done before I ever met Lance. I do not date people so that I can “use” them. I’m self-sufficient and happy to be that way. I have served my country, I have made my own money, my own career, written my own books, bought my own homes and other possesions, and I’m proud to be this way, on my own. I am not broke. I am individually financially sound. I date people because I happen to love them. Period.

I will only post this once. This disgusting person and his site makes up blatant lies to create interesting stories. I am one of this criminal’s targets. Understand that. So know, from here on out, that if you read anything about ME on PerezHilton.com, you are 99.9% sure to be reading a lie or an exagerrated, incorrect version of something that is 0.01% true.

Merry Christmas Everybody!!

Love, Reichen

Meanwhile it is indeed true that Perez is being sued by paparazzi photo agency X17 for $7.6 million. The major news outlets have picked up the story, and Perez remains defiant, saying “All successful people get sued. It just happens. The more successful you become, the more high profile, the bigger target you are and I’m an easy target.” X17 says they tried to settle with him amicably many times, and he was openly rude about it. They say that they have lost business with celebrity glossies as a result of Perez pilfering their photos. The gossip rags claim that Perez’s first use of the photos keeps them from having an exclusive scoop.

It sounds to me like Perez wanted to get sued again so he can get lots more free publicity.

Vag jokes offend Paris


It looks like planned vag jokes at the upcoming Billboard awards hit too close to home for ‘ol wonky eye. She pulled out of hosting the event at the last minute due to supposed loyalty to her new friend and crotch-baring comrad, Britney.

Paris Hilton won’t joke about her peeps.

The hotel heiress canceled an appearance at next week’s Billboard Music Awards because she didn’t like the jokes written for her, according to a spokesman.

“It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers,” her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement. “Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarassing about people she knows.”

Mintz said Hilton received a script Friday that contained material she found “objectionable.” Representatives for Hilton and the awards show could not come to an agreement about the script’s content so she decided to scrap the appearance, he said.

If only Paris could have read a few scripted jokes about Britney’s hairless beaver, she could have effectively distanced herself from the four totally deliberate incidents. Instead everyone now knows that Paris coached Britney on how to slip a lip. Unlike Paris and her drunken exposures, Britney no-pants looks like a redundant amateur. Paris is a lousy teacher and she should be ashamed.

Now we’ll have to hear those jokes coming from that Frankenstein guy from “Everyone Loves Raymond.” Surely his delivery will be better than Paris ever could have managed.

Here’s Paris at VH1’s “Big in 2006″ awards, which airs tonight. She won for “Big Outlaw,” proving that DUI does pay.

Thanks to Viv and White Trash Mom for this story.

Britney’s vag marked the end of an era (update)


Britney’s many vag slips were the drunken send off to the era of free high res candid posting. I get a message just about every day asking me to take a picture down and I try to avoid posting pictures from certain agencies I know want to keep their images exclusive. I try to be nice about it though because that’s how they make a living and of course I remove everything when asked.

Perez Hilton
, nee Mario Lavandiera, is kind of a snot bag to the photo agencies, and he pretty much tells them to fuck off when they ask him to remove an image. He writes dumb-ass comments on top of all the pictures so they’re unusable by other bloggers too, so he’s kind of screwing people at both ends. Maybe he wouldn’t be so hated if his blog wasn’t so damn popular and successful. He has 12 blogads now at $800 a week and 2 in the premium spot at $9,000 a week. That means he’s making $30k this week just from blogads alone.

Most of the paparazzi agencies are asking less than $1k a month for unlimited image use. If Mario bought images here and there and spent some of his massive earnings on unlimited photo usage from certain agencies he could do it legally and get on everyone’s good side. He’s making $120k a month, so you think he could spring for $5-10k worth of tax deductible images.

What the hell am I giving advice for though, I’m just as guilty as he is of pilfering images. I just don’t make much money off of it.

It’s hard to please everyone if you’re running a gossip blog, and I try but it gives me an ulcer. You try gossiping about celebrities, having an opinion, and not offending anyone. It’s impossible. Perez, though, he just rubs everyone the wrong way and he’s clearly not giving back.

There was a video that came out a short while ago of Splash News serving Mario papers while he stuffed his face with a muffin at the coffee shop where he works. I wasn’t too worried about the repercussions in the gossip blogging sphere as the papers were just a cease and desist, not an official lawsuit.

Now the word is that the paparazzi and photo agencies have banded together and have sent him another cease and desist outlining what he has to do to avoid a federal lawsuit. They basically say they’re pissed because he’s so defiant when they ask him to remove images and that he has to do it now according to their requests (site has automatic sound) or they’re going to sue him:

Perez Hilton is to be hit by a multi-million dollar federal lawsuit from the top seven paparazzi agencies in the US.
Splash News, INF, Ramey, Bauer Griffin, WENN, Most Wanted and Flynet have joined forces to stop Perezhilton.com from using copyrighted images.

“Perez claims he is making a fortune off exploiting pictures taken by photographers. He blatantly violates copyright and makes advertising revenue off other people’s works,” said Gary Morgan of Splash News.

“It is time he is held accountable for his actions. We have amassed a ton of evidence from all of these agencies detailing his infringements.

We have filed a letter to him giving him the chance to either pay up for all of his copyright violations or face the music. He only has a few days to decide.”

The seven agencies have spent the last few weeks conferring over how to stop Hilton. In an unprecedented co-operation between paparazzi and showbusiness agencies, the heads of the agencies agreed to take action.
A letter was sent demanding full payment of all infringed material or face a lawsuit next week.

I hope you guys like my witty commentary, because if that lawsuit happens it’s all editorials and watermarked low-res images.

Update: Sorry I got all philosophical there. It’s been a long day. TMZ is reporting that Perez is being sued for $7.5 million, but I don’t think that’s accurate because I read through all the documents posted on Splash News Online and they basically said that he has to comply with their requests or face the consequences. There’s no mention of an official lawsuit or a dollar amount.

Video of Perez Hilton getting slapped with a lawsuit

Perez Hilton got videotaped getting served a Cease and Desist order while stuffing his face at his “office,” the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Cafe in Hollywood. Splash News Online slapped one of the world’s most popular and reviled bloggers with the lawsuit as he sat at a table in a tracksuit looking nonplussed. A Coffee Bean employee, who is undoubtedly used to the paparrazi and hoopla that go along with serving coffee to the stars, told them to stop photographing and blocked the scene.

I’m not really shocked by this, as Perez pissed all the paparrazi agencies off by going off in an e-mail message to X17 when they sent him a message asking that he not run their skinny Britney exclusive photo. He later spouted off in a photographer’s face when he was accused of stealing a different picture. Perez has kind of screwed himself by not citing sources, stealing other’s ideas and claiming exclusive stories that he reads about on the same bulletin boards we all frequent. The paparrazi spend a lot of money running after the celebrities and they are understandably protective of their photos, which they rely on for their livelihood.

At the same time, I “steal” these pictures too, and am having a hard time not infringing on someone’s copyright while running this blog. When someone asks me to remove pictures, and this is happening more frequently, I do it right away. I think that running pictures and crediting the source helps sell photos. The picture are lower res here and the magazines that actually make good money will buy the high res versions as a result. I was also an early adopter of Napster and think that the RIAA is out of line. I’m into technology and digital media, and believe that companies need to adopt to the new medium.

Perez is taking the hit for all gossip bloggers, but he’s an easy target because he doesn’t seem like a nice guy and he doesn’t follow the unspoken manners that govern how we work.

Video found at Miz Monica through the great gossip source Lipstick.com.
