HBK-79
War Child
I hear his name bounced around every now and then. I swear- I turn on the morning radio, and I sometimes hear “Get your Hollywood daily dirt from Perez Hilton.”
I must admit- I don’t know a whole lot about this guy. All I know about him is that he is gay, that he dyes his hair in weird colours, and that Perez Hilton isn’t even his real name. I know he owns a ridiculous website- which I’ve never been to. It seems that he’s one of these so-called “gossip columnists.” And a lot of the entertainment media look to him for the latest in celebrity news.
What gets me is that he has knocked several of my favourite people, including Bono. And he has done this by spreading misinformation, and by making mean-spirited quips about them- all for no reason and to just be an A-hole.
I’ve heard he’s gained a lot of exposure on TV, radio, and other media. Everyone that doesn’t live under a rock knows his name. But it’s also apparent that that no one likes him or takes him seriously. So why has he become a quasi-celebrity?
He’s not trying to be a comedian. He’s not trying to be a news source. Or even a critic.
So what is he supposed to be? Who the hell is his employer? Who pays his salary? How can someone make a name for himself with basically bullshit job functions?
Making snide remarks about famous people- How can you establish a career out of that?
I’m confused. Can anyone further elucidate the reason why this guy even exists?
P.S. He is reportedly a HUGE fan of Katy Perry. Now that’s fucked-up.
