Perez Hilton visits Howard Stern.
I love Howard Stern. I have Sirius…and I pay for his OnDemand show… totally worth it BTW. And today, he did not dissappoint. He interviewed our favorite (oh puke) Perez Hilton. Here are some highlights from the interview!
Name Dropping:
Perez brought up that John Stamos called him before his appearance this morning so he’d promote his new movie, “Wedding Wars,” and also admitted he was in a feud with Kathy Griffin over his outing of Lance Bass.
Perez said he now has like 4 million people checking out his web site every day so the site is huge. Howard said that it’s obvious that he will never bad mouth Paris Hilton because she’s his friend. Perez said he still gets calls from her when she gets mad at something he writes.
Howard asked Perez what the last thing was that Paris got upset about. Perez said that it was a cartoon of her that she didn’t like. Howard said he read that there are rumors that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton might be lesbians. Perez said that he wouldn’t be surprised at all because both of them have said they like girls.
Now Famous Lawsuit:
Perez proceeded to say he was being sued by some photographers who claimed he stole their pictures for his site, but he insisted he was in the right on the matter.
Howard asked Perez if his web site is doing well. He said it’s never been better but he has started his own merchandise thing to help offset his legal costs. There are people suing him over the pictures he uses on his site and he thinks the only way he can fight it is in court. He said that he’s fighting for himself and for all of the other bloggers out there.
Likes/Dislikes:
Perez then called Jesse Metcalf “the biggest Hollywood asshole” because he was “marginally talented and good-looking,” yet took himself “very seriously.” A listener called in to ask if Perez had any problems talking about celebrities who he thought were gay even though they hadn’t come out, but he said he didn’t because he was just speculating about the topic the same way the mainstream media did for Hollywood breakups.
Celeb News via Perez:
Howard asked Perez if he thinks that Britney is having a break down because she’s out partying and flashing her beaver everywhere. Perez said that Britney has been a party girl for a long time and while she was married she was pregnant so now she’s back to partying again. That’s all it is.
Howard said that Beth goes on his web site like 4 or 5 times a day and she shows him what’s new. Perez said that the last time he was on the show he had broken the news that Lance Bass was coming out. That same day Lance announced it. Perez said that Lance has now broken up with his boyfriend and he feels bad about that. Howard read that Perez thinks that they broke up because they were both ”bottoms” in the relationship. Perez said he has friends who know the two of them so he hears things.
Perez said that when he started his blog two and a half years ago, he wanted to write about celebrities because they’re so much more interesting than he is. Howard asked Perez about outing people on his site. Perez said that he always gets confirmation about people being gay before he outs them. Howard said that some of them may not want to be outed though so maybe that’s not right.
Perez claims that he knows that Clay Aiken is gay but his record label won’t let him come out. Perez said that people tend to believe the artist and Lance Bass could have continued on pretending to be straight for years.
