Perez Hilton, Brüno, And "The Gay-Panic Offense"
Perez Hilton is getting a storm of publicity after calling someone a faggot, and Brüno, a movie that Dennis Lim calls a "big gay joke," is advertising everywhere. What does this mean for gay stereotypes in the media? [Jezebel] -

Perez Hilton Would Rather Be a Racist Than Bad for the Gays
Perez Hilton called will.i.am a "faggot." Now, in an Advocate profile he desperately wants for you to know that he's not a gay hate-monger. He's just a racist. Some of his best friends are gay people. Best friends like... himself!

English Language Begins Long Path To Recovery As Courtney Love Quits Blogging
We all have Facebook status updates we'd like to take back or 3am emails we shouldn't have sent, but for Courtney Love, the bar for internet humiliation is considerably higher. Luckily, our girl Court is nothing if not ambitious on the self-immolation front, and over the weekend, she topped her "Yay for Proposition 8!" fiasco with around 40 blog posts on her Myspace page that hinted at suicidal feelings and a love of clothes. In other words: nothing new, but oh, the frequency! Now, Love has posted a Perez Hilton-directed epilogue in which she renounces blogging and blames the bad reception to her Myspacepalooza on a whisper campaign started by Madonna: More » -

CNET Writer Goes Perez On Ex
It was kind of an awkward joke to begin with: CNET News.com writer Caroline McCarthy publicly imagining how her fameball buddies David Karp and Charles Forman would be mocked by Perez Hilton if the celebrity blogger worked for Valleywag. Hilton would, of course, call the cuddle-buddies gay, as McCarthy made clear in a mockup posted to her Tumblr Wednesday night. But throw in the fact that McCarthy and Karp very recently, we heard, broke up, and the image takes on an entirely more vicious, passive-aggressive sheen. More »

Perez Hilton Divulges Information About John Mayer That No One Wanted to Know
Proving once and for all that no one should ever, under any circumstances, allow Perez Hilton anywhere near themselves, the suspiciously slimmed-down celebrity blogger was on the Howard Stern radio program this morning giving some dirty dish about musician of sorts John Mayer. Mrs. Hilton revealed that Mayer, who he maybe made out with once, liked to have buttsex with his old girlfriend, ass-slipper Jessica Simpson. Oh, and that he enjoys "water sports." So, ew. It's funny that Hilton didn't mention this on his site, but freely discussed it on the radio. Huh. I guess this also proves that talk radio, against the internet's best efforts, remains our vilest medium.

Levi's Goes Gay, Proudly
The gays have always been an attractive demographic for advertisers because they're generally affluent, have more disposable income (fewer babies!), and tend to be more reliable early adopters of trends than slobby straights. So all-American brands love to get on the gays' good side. As long as they don't have to directly market to them, because under Man Law that would make them homo by association, and their sales in Texas would absolutely plunge. But times have officially changed, cowboy; Levi's is going straight to the gays with a gay ad campaign on gay TV network Logo with the gay message: Levi's loves gays enough to get dirty at 3 a.m.!

The latest stop on his Heroes redemption tour is gay magazine The Advocate, where Ventimiglia sat down and dished to writer Brandon Voss about his frequent on-screen shirtlessness ("You do start to wonder..."), his friend John Krasinski, and a certain gossip blogger's habit of defacing his paparazzi pictures: More » -

Roseanne Barr, the celebrity blogger actually worth reading
Heart-warmingly vulgar comedienne Roseanne Barr is making headlines again, and it's with a blog. The LA Times wonders if Barr is drunk when she posts items online after a series of screeds about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. She is, then she obviously understands blogging for what it is: Part self-promotion, part maniacal delusion, and all about making a scene as publicly as possible. The Huffington Post has proven profitable with its own stable of celebrity bloggers and an anti-Republican slant similar to, but far less entertaining than, Barr's — but then, the Huffington post also gets free labor from hundreds of other, less famous bloggers. So why are celebrities in the blogodrome so easy to resent? More »

Gossip Skirmish Escalates Into Gossip War
Chaunce Hayden, the random dude from Jersey who publishes the little-read but often-stolen-from gossip rag Steppin' Out, is really learning to play the retribution game! Page Six boss Richard Johnson angrily told off Chaunce after Chaunce gave him a bad tip about a radio shock jock fiancee's sex tape that got the Post sued for millions. But now Chaunce has gotten his revenge the gossip way—by giving rival gossip hack Shallon Lester from the Daily News a chance to trash Page Six as a dirty place that's out to "smear people and ruin people's lives." People like Chaunce Hayden, for example! Then Shallon talks about how everyone takes bribes. "Everyone" like Page Six (yes)?

Naomi Campbell Has "Pancake Bosoms," Rihanna Has "Saucer Nips" And Kristin Cavallari "Ruins" Pictures By Wearing A Bra
Welcome back to Missdemeanors, in which we accuse gossip bloggers of Crimes Against Womanity. We do this because the gossip industry is sexist, and only getting worse. These people are paid to write "gossip" but, 99% of the time, the words they use to go with celebrity pictures denigrate, critique, belittle and objectify women. This week: Breasts. They're too flat, they're too big, they're too good, their areolas are not good enough. Plus! This is a "very special" episode of Missdemeanors, as you shall see. The continued degradation of female celebrities, after the jump. [Jezebel] -

As usual, the continued degradation of female celebrities and their corresponding punishments, after the jump. Let the Jezebel Justice system begin! [Jezebel]
