Perez Hilton used to be this cute little gay boy who had this cute little celebrity-obsessed blog at the right place and the right time. The media devoured the whole "blogging" phenomenon and trounced on Perez as the posterboy for celeb blogging. Almost overnight he became an F-list "media commentator" and was everywhere: one of those talking heads on VH1 clips shows who spews commentary as vapid as the stars they're snarking on.As he got bitchier and nastier on his blog to keep his growing readership happy, his reporting got sloppier (and he himself got more bloated). Last month, for example, he reported that Bjork did a "surprise DJ set at Tranny Shack" in SF when in fact she merely played a set at The Stud, the club that hosts Trannyshack (one word, not two) on a different night.
Which is why I was so delighted to see Perez fall victim to the same bitchy blog culture he help to create. Finally Perez gets skewered and has his privates -- er -- private life skewered online when FadedYouth unearthed his cock shot-heavy and highly deceptive Manhunt profile. Athletic build? 165? Packing 8 inches? Not quite, Mary.
