Finding celebrity hypocrites can be tougher than you think. Like just this morning, I was reading that Hulk Hogan might have been stepping out on his wife before their revolting, society-eroding marriage finally fell apart. The Hulkster, humpin’ around? Now, that sure wouldn’t fit his “Say yer prayers and take yer vitamins, Hulkamaniacs!” image.
But the problem was, this “news” was coming from Perez Hilton. Should I give that dumpster-sized dunce even more unearned attention than he already gets? What to do? These are the ethical dilemmas we bloggers face on a daily, nay, hourly basis.
And then, like manna from Heaven fell this story from Page Six:
Mario Lavandeira — better known as online gossip “Perez Hilton” — encouraged a handsome young blogger to send sex tapes of himself while he was making promises of promotion for the blogger’s own fledgling Web site.
Jonathan Jaxson — a former publicist and founder of gossip site JJ’s Dirt — told Page Six he sent Lavandeira sexually explicit videos of himself with the hope of Lavandeira’s help, which never materialized.
So much for quid pro ‘mo! You’ll have to read the whole thing for Lavandeira’s repeated, increasingly desperate-sounding demands for the videos, and for the svelte younger blogger’s broken-hearted lamentations when his dreams of romance and web stardom were thwarted. Or don’t, if you want to hold onto your soul (and your breakfast).
Damn… While that gourd-shaped gossip is moralizing over Hulk Hogan’s marriage, he’s tricking guys who are even more pathetic than he is into making JO videos for his enjoyment. And then leaving them high and dry! Well, moist. I don’t think even Paris Hilton would do something like that. No wonder this tubby tattler eats his own weight in Hostess products every three days.
Okay, okay, you’re right. Every two days.

Nice to see someone coming down on Perez for a change! I have to admit I check his site, but it bugs the shit out of me that he seems to have people he likes and people he dislikes. The people he likes get endless praise and almost no negative blurbs, the ones he dislikes get slammed endlessly. Very hypocritical
I hate Perez Hilton, but fat-shaming isn’t cool.
Fat-shaming? I hear Natalie Portman is a vegan. He should call her. As long as she’s quick, he can’t catch her to eat her.
Perez is a big hypocrite. After Heath Ledgers death he marketed on shirts saying “Why Heath? Why couldn’t it be Britney?!” Then a while later released “Save Britney” shirts.
Making fun of someone based on their weight “haha, I bet he eats a lot of twinkies! Let’s all laugh at the fatty! Ba-zing!” is at the level of wit and class you would expect to find on Perez Hilton.
A., the “Save Britney” shirts were released months and months before Heath Ledger died.
C., I agree, the crass banter on this sight is not much more sophisticated than his. I guess when you bank on calling people hypocrites all day you get somewhat of a self-righteousness to yourself.
Pastafarian, I don’t get it.
Perez is a jerk-off, but unfortunately, he must be doing something right.
Moderator edit: Please stick to one commenter name per IP address, “Johanna.” Thank you.
Oh fat-shaming. I bet he does eat a lot of twinkies. Is he gay?
Perez Hilton takes it upon himself to pick people apart all day-he made a career off it! This ones too skinny, this one’s ugly, that one should die, and yes, he says all those things. So to comment on how many hostess snacks he eats is sort of like karma in a very small online kinda way.
What don’t you get Lady AC. And I’m glad someones calling these people hypocrites when they deserve it. This is miles away from some of those ass kissing sites like celebitchy, or Superficial who post nothing but drunken celebrity ass hats like Paris, Britney, Lohan over and over. And fawning over every little thing that Angelina Jolie coughs up. I don’t even go to those anymore. If someones full of crap someone needs to call ‘em on it.
“Fat-shaming” may not be cool, but when it comes to a stack of crap like Perez Hilton, it sure is fun. Good luck finding another “sight,” guys!
Pastafarian: I didn’t say anything about “ass-kissing” sites in regard to you.
What I meant, is that I don’t understand your particular comment.
i.e. “I hear Natalie Portman is a vegan. He should call her. As long as she’s quick, he can’t catch her to eat her.” What does Natalie Portman being a vegan have to do with Perez and him catching and eating her? I don’t get it.
About a year ago, I started reading at Pajiba and they took time out of their busy day to comment on this slag. At the time he had photos up that showed him at least 75 pounds lighter (and probably 10 years younger) and he claimed he was ‘athletically built.’
The fat jokes are well deserved. In fact, some white blobs artfully placed around his mouth wouldn’t be amiss either.
The joke was that she could give him diet tips. If she didn’t wind up as a snack first. That’s what I meant Sorry.
Funny — if you are are going to slag Perez Hilton and his ethics, as skanky as they seem, perhaps you would like to take your Deciever ad off his site. That is how I got here. I am all for the separation of editorial Church from adverstising State, but c’mon…
Thanks!
wouldnt this make you a deceiver!? if you bash perez hilton… then why is your website advertised on it… funny how i found this website clicking on an ad on perez hilton’s website….
Naah … Perez is a pink-mulleted skank monkey. But he does serve up 300 million page-views a week. You can’t argue with numbers.
