Perez Outs Yet Another--Teenyboppers Will be Crushed

Leave it to Perez Hilton to break the news of one's gay/lesbian-dom. He has a habit of doing so, and his latest outing is New Kids on the Block's Jordan Knight [gasp!]. It's a good thing the news is brought out now, as opposed to years ago because at least all of the boy band's fans are now hopefully married. We know back in the day, the ladies would have been crushed!

Per Perez, Mr. Knight is super close to coming out to the public and he currently does have a boyfriend. So is he dating fellow gay boy-bander Lance Bass? Nope, apparently the former Sweet Valley High actor is named Harley (eew) and currently works as a trainer at Barry's Bootcamp in L.A.

So if Lance Bass turned out gay from NSYNC, and Jordan Knight is apparently gay from NKOTB, then (at least) one of the Jonas Brothers has to be gay, too, right? I mean it would only be fitting for boy band statistics. I kinda think all of those Jonas Bros are gay, but that's just me. I mean, those chastity rings they wear have got to be a cover-up to avoid having to sleep with a woman.

Perez Hilton's Clothing Line Apparently not a Hot Topic Amongst Consumers

Following in the footsteps of LC, Heidi Montag and Avril, Perez Hilton was the latest pseudo-celeb to come out with an unsuccessful clothing line. The line, innovatively titled "Perez Hilton For Hot Topic," includes neon-colored clothing ensembles and $50 blog-themed flip-flops.

Perhaps his "fans" were too busy reading away on his website to take the time to pay the blogger-turned-clothing designer an in-person visit. According to an employee at the Los Angeles Hot Topic at which Hilton appeared, only seven whopping people showed up to the event, and Hilton was furious. He apparently spent the entire time there making all sorts of ridiculous demands.

"He was a rude royal pain in the ass and BEYOND crass... My manager was trying to get people to come in to meet Perez by handing out $5 gift cards NO ONE WANTED TO MEET HIM!" Says the employee.

"He left around 8:45PM without saying goodbye to anyone and looked like he had been crying like the little bitch he is. We sold a grand total of $6.45 of Perez Hilton items between 6PM - 9PM. My manager has already talked about discounting his ‘line’ !”

Hmm...maybe it's bad karma for talking smack on everyone *else's* clothing lines. Or maybe it's just bad karma for talking smack on everyone, period. Either way, I think it's best Hilton stick to blogging and save the fashion faux-pas' for the people who are going to continue to give him something to write about!

Props to Perez

Love him or hate him, you know him and you have to give him credit. He's ingrained himself as a self-made icon in pop-culture, and whether we will all admit it or not, he has served as an influence and inspiration to journalists and media folks everywhere. I will never have anything negative to say about a person who has changed the way we read, write, watch and perceive the media. I only wish I could say I have accomplished everything he has done in just a short time. My day will indeed eventually come, but in the meantime, I must pay homage to the man who started it all.

Apparently I am not the only one who praises the blogger, as Genre magazine has dedicated a full page to the blogger-turned-actor-author-record label CEO. It’s pretty nifty. Check it out here
