Perez Hilton: The Most Infamous Celebrity Blogger

The Number #1 Source for Celebrity Gossip

R. M. Dubuc
Perez Hilton is a name that is known by many for his ability to get the latest celebrity scandal and post it on his website, www.perezhilton.com, for all the world to see, with all the scandalous details. Details and a flair for adding personalized written comments over photos posted on perezhilton.com are just a couple of the things that Perez Hilton is known for.

Who is Perez Hilton?

The first thing that many people often wonder is whether Perez Hilton is related to Paris Hilton. Paris and Perez Hilton actually have no relation to each other. Perez Hilton is not Paris Hilton's exiled brother, or her alter-ego. Perez Hilton is the man who sends celebrities into hiding after posting the latest photographs on his website of things like a shaved headed Britney Spears.

The actual Perez Hilton is a celebrity on his own. Perez writes and gossip blogs about celebrities, but he has become a celebrity himself, for his infamous blogging and gossip columns. Perez Hilton's website has become so popular, that a recent episode of CSI even mentioned his website, as part of the script.

Perez Hilton was born as Mario Armando Lavandeira. When he's not living the life of Perez Hilton, the flamboyant and outspoken gossip blogger, Mario Lavandeira is just an ordinary Gen-X guy. Mario Lavandeira (aka Perez Hilton) was born in Miami, Florida, but moved to the Los Angeles area as an adult.

Perez Hilton's Website

Perez Hilton's website (www.perezhilton.com) rarely censors celebrity content. Photos are posted online with all the flattering, or not-so-flattering details. Britney Spears appears to be a favorite guest star on the Perez Hilton website, with more than a few embarassing photos posted in the last few months. If Perez Hilton has something to say, you will likely find in on his descriptive celebrity blog, or written across an online photo.

The Perez Hilton website was highlighted as one of the most visited blog/gossip websites online by Yahoo last week. Millions of visitors have surfed over to www.perezhilton.com, at one time or another, just to see what all the hype was about. Supporters and fans of Perez Hilton credit Perez for providing uncensored and raw photos an breaking news about celebrities. Perez's pipeline of celebrity information and gossip runs far and wide in Hollywood.

Critics of Perez Hilton are often harsh about the content that Perez posts online, as well as the comments and bold gossip that sometimes appears on the perezhilton.com site. Perez Hilton's continued attempts to "out" certain celebrities is well-known in Hollywood. Perez has challenged some celebrities to admit that they are gay. Naturally, this has stirred up even more controversy about Perez Hilton's website and public statements in his online blog.

Perez Hilton's Claim to Fame

The Perez Hilton website has grown enormously since it debuted. Perez Hilton has enough fans and curious internet surfers to generate an envied amount of online traffic to his site each month. Visitors to the Perez Hilton website can view the latest celebrity news and photos, as well as read Perez's blog and inside information about the notorious celebrities that have become favorite targets/guests on the site.

Perez Hilton may be adored by some and detested by others, but Perez's website is here to stay, as long as celebrities continue to pull embarrassing stunts and Perez Hilton fans continue to bookmark his website for their daily gossip fix.

    Great coverage of what ? I know bloggin is
    all the rage, but please bring something to the table, He is not an advocate for Gay rights or Gay anything, He is starting to come off like Rosie, there is nothing wrong with being Gay, but you have
    to realize, , that there is a whole other thought, that is for the most part going to disagree with certain things when it comes to being Gay, such as Gay marriage, doesn't mean they ar right or wrong, it just means they have their beliefs as well, and that should be respected. He clearly violated, when it comes to Ms. Cali. Perz..... Times UP

  • Moodzine 3/26/2008

    I really don't know why people are so interested in famous people anyway, I wouldn't know any of them if I walked past them in the street. However, famous or not...they should be allowed a private life.

  • jessica 9/24/2007

    i have no idea why people listen to this freak. He has no life he's not a known person. He talks about what everybody else is doing. Have you ever wondered what he does perfessionally? i dont think so. Mindless entertainment, is what it really is, for the people with no lives. lol

  • Veronika Fevers 4/22/2007
