Should You Trust Perez Hilton for Celebrity Gossip?

I must say that I personally find Perez Hilton to be very entertaining. Not only is he very amusing with words, but he has a wonderful, unique style that's certainly all his own. We all like to read some good celebrity gossip from time to time and what better place to find it than www.perezhilton.com? However, should you really trust Perez Hilton for celebrity gossip-related information? Here, we'll take a closer look at some of the main reasons that you should take everything that Perez Hilton has to say with a grain of salt.

Is Perez Hilton's Information Always Accurate?

According to radio gossip, Perez Hilton originally posted on his website that Mary Kate Olsen was at the scene of Heath Ledger's death. Now, it seems that this post has gone missing and has been replaced with the accurate information or that it never existed in the first place. No matter how true this may be, it really makes you wonder how much of the celebrity gossip that Perez Hilton provides us with is really accurate. Does Perez Hilton know all of the details before he posts celebrity gossip news on his website? Or does Perez Hilton just make up his own information - based on what he has heard from other sources to give folks something to talk about? If I really wanted to read celebrity gossip based on false accusations, I would just read the National Enquirer.

Why Does Perez Hilton Need to Be So Mean?

There's no doubt that Perez Hilton has chosen some of his favorite celebrities, who he's not so mean to. A good example would be Rihanna and as little as he actually criticizes her, he does refer to her as Ri-Ri. Perez Hilton is constantly calling celebrities fat, in one way or another. This includes the celebrities which don't seem the most emotionally stable, such as the Olsen Twins and Britney Spears. As much respect as Angelina Jolie earns in the world of film, Perez Hilton makes the effort to point out that she looks like she has a pregnant belly and wears a tent. This leads me to wonder only one thing: why does Perez Hilton need to be so mean? Is it because he has personal conflicts with these celebrities? Is it because he has his own demons that need to be worked out? Or is it the more likely reason - Perez Hilton wants people to laugh?

Does Perez Hilton Resort to His Own Bias?

When you consider how inaccurate and mean the information that Perez Hilton reports is, it really makes you wonder if it is based on his own bias. Although it would be very hard to find one single source of information that's not based on bias perspectives, it seems that Perez Hilton's information is a little bit over the top sometimes. It may be one thing to let your own bias shine through your words, but it's another thing to report information due to your bias. It seems that Perez Hilton is one of those people who has an opinion about everyone and, for that reason, says what he wants to say whenever he wants to say it. Does that make this information true or accurate? Not necessarily. Just because Perez Hilton thinks that Angelina Jolie looks pregnant doesn't mean that she is pregnant - or fat in the eyes of others.

So, tell me, how much do you trust Perez Hilton? While there's no doubt that his website isn't fun to browse through when you want some good celebrity gossip, would you really take everything that Perez Hilton has to say to heart? Or would you rather take everything that this man posts and says with a grain of salt - more than you normally would with other media outlets that provide celebrity gossip?
