John Mayer's Self-Deprecating Video Almost Redeems Him

Musician John Mayer is arguably hot and deals well with the paparazzi, and maybe can play the guitar, but also is a Ron Paul fanatic, weak blogger and broadcaster and — oh, right! — Perez Hilton face-sucker. So: Yes, John Mayer Is That Bad. But now he's made a Spinal Tap-like video for FunnyOrDie.com, mocking the "creative process" of celebrity rock stars, and it's both self-deprecating and funny. It's also not personal enough to cut very deeply — nothing about Perez? — but with a few more of these could celeb-karmically balance the Perez makeout incident and Mayer could be back to Not That Bad or, dare to dream, Palatable.

Day-Glo Gossip Maven To Peddle Fashion Line

Continuing the grand tradition of completely useless people having clothing lines, Perez Hilton will soon be rolling out his own collection of women's t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and other bric-a-brac. The corpulent celebrity blogger says that because he covers fashion disasters on his website, he has "a good eye for what's hot and what's not" (right) and that he's trying to expand the "Perez Brand." Can Perez Hilton wine be far behind? (Please click that link). Click through for some Guanabee inspired examples of Perez's fashion savvy.

Jenna Bush Will Have 14 Bridesmaids Saturday

  • Jenna Bush will get married this weekend at a ranch in Texas. Oscar de la Renta supplied the gown the presidential daughter will eventually be puking on. (UPDATE: AP may be wrong on bridesmaid count, see first comment.) [AP]
  • Singer and Perez Hilton macker John Mayer is — surprise! — acting kind of scuzzy toward actress/hookup Jennifer Aniston. Mayer "was all over some [other] blond girl" at a club in New York recently. [P6]
  • Mary-Kate Olsen was left off the Maxim "Hot 100" list, and twin sister Ashley was left on, at number 47. Wait, which one is supposed to feel dissed by this? Ashley, right? [P6]
  • Prince is releasing a coffee table book called 21 Nights with photos of his concerts in London last year. And then there will be a "compilation album" in there too, since publishing in just one dying medium is not enough. [E!]
  • So now singer Mariah Carey is not just engaged but married to actor Nick Cannon. "Her friends were, to put it mildly, stunned, but happy for her." [P6]

Here's the Part of James Frey's New Novel That's Based on Perez Hilton

James Frey's upcoming novel, Bright Shiny Morning, features interwoven narratives from the city of Los Angeles. One of his characters, a gay Cuban internet-based gossip, is based on—you guessed it, Perez Hilton! Aww. (Although, Frey does write that "between six and eight million people a day come to his website," which seems a little high.) Read the excerpt for trajectory of a young Perez Hilton. More »

Perez Hilton and Puppy Mills: He's Against Them!

Online gossip-monger Perez Hilton is speaking out against puppy mills, because they're bad and mean to doggies. But as Deceiver points out, he got his own puppy, purchased last fall, from a place they think sounds suspicious: "We typed in "small" "cute" and "smart" into Google and they popped up!" Perez wrote at the time. (Hey, that's not all that pops up when you type those words into Google! HEY OH!) Anyway, they like, mail the dog to you. But guess what? That pup (a "goldendoodle") is the cutest one in the world. And maybe the place they bought him from isn't so bad after all: "Our home is our kennel, and we have turned our home into a home for the dogs! We live in Palmdale California (LA County), on three acres of all usable land and we have a huge swimming pool, for people and dogs! The dogs also have their own plastic baby pools in the summer."

(also in attendance were political masterminds the Jonas Brothers, Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, Jenny McCarthy, and former "American Idol" contestant Michael Johns). He was described as "His hair was a shade of brown. He was wearing a dinner jacket and black shirt.

Paris Hilton Nipple Flashes Exported To England

  • Apparently hungry for attention in London, Paris Hilton declared Kim Kardashian's butt "disgusting, it reminds me of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag." Then she said Jessica Simpson's boobs were too big. Then she flashed her own boobs again outside a hotel; click here for a bigger shot (via WENN) if you're not bored of Hilton's nipples yet. [Sun]
  • Christian Siriano from Project Runway said the girls on The Hills have fashion lines that are not "that great... I mean, it's fun and flirty and young, but they're not innovators. None of them will ever be an innovative designer." [Perez]
  • Cameron Diaz lost her father suddenly and unexpectedly to pneumonia. Production of the actress' latest movie was shut down. TMZ, which broke the story, has not yet tried to make an awful joke about it. [TMZ]
  • So Pete Wentz was lying when he denied Ashlee Simpson is pregnant. People now joins Us and OK! in saying the musicians are expecting a kid, and as the old journalism rule goes, three celebrity media sources is confirmation. Also, Wentz sidestepped a question about the rumors in an MTV interview rather than try and deny them again. [People]
  • Now that he's made out with Perez Hilton, every single conquest of singer John Mayer will be second-guessed and possibly ridiculed. Which is kind of how things should be. The press is finally doing its job! [P6]
  • This model's 12-year-old daughter wants a boob job, but the responsible mom is making the daughter wait until she's 16. [Sun]
  • David and Victoria Beckham are sending their son to a Jewish school in LA. They're both half. Sort of. Not really: David's Mom's family was Jewish, but she doesn't practice. But he has a tattoo in Hebrew, and so does she. [Sun]
  • David Hasselhoff's assistant tried to round up groupies for the TV star, then steal them. He failed at both. [Gatecrasher]

Radio Perez Validates All Blogs

Thank heavens for celebrity gossip Perez Hilton and his new radio deal, because otherwise there would be no one to "show how the blogosphere is generating new talent for the traditional media," as the Wall Street Journal puts it. Perez will make three-minute radio shows for stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and elsewhere, for use during rush hours. He's also starring in a summer movie called Gays Gone Wild and has a book deal. Hilariously, the Journal said Perez wants to "carefully cultivate" his public image, just like Paris Hilton.

The Cold Hard Truth

PEREZ LIE DETECTOR RESULTS. It's all true. They made out! John initiated it! There was tongue! Perez pulled away first! Then they ask Perez if he's doing all this for publicity and he says no! And it's a lie! Haha! If you need me, I'm going to be running around in circles on the floor, weeping.

Y'all Do It? We're going to find out once and for all. Definitively. Because of science. Perez Hilton is taking a Moment of Truth lie detector test to prove beyond shadow of a doubt that he sucked mug with John Mayer.

Just Because You're a Philosopher It Doesn't Mean You Didn't Make Out With Perez Hilton

John Mayer thinks that Perez Hilton is just a sad man who wants to be a celebrity himself. Um. Yes. The singer/songwriter/lovemaker was on XM radio yesterday discussing fame and fortune, but did not mention the alleged Perez and John makeout session. He had a lot of other stuff to say about the rotund blogger, however. Of Perez's VH1 show he said, wisely: "I have never seen it, but that was the moment that the wall broke, and we realized that these people don't really hate celebrities, they just want to be actually in there." Fourth wall? Who the fuck is he, a Brecht scholar? This man is a genius! What else, what else! More »

How Did Perez Hilton Steal My Boyfriend?

So, uh, you know John Mayer, right? The totally dreamy, maybe a bit annoying, pop singer and adept professional celebrity who dated Jessica Simpson? Right. Well, he's gone and done what some might call "the unthinkable." He, um, made out with Perez Hilton. Shriek! The newly svelte-ish celebrity blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, is dishing on his site about the night he sucked mug with John freaking Mayer and I just can't stand it. So what exactly happened here? Yes it was obviously tectonic plates shifting and odd cosmic bits of whimsy like sun spots or something, but there has to be a more terrestrial reason for all of this.

John Mayer Tries To Scare Himself Straight

  • Blogger Perez Hilton is claiming he made out with a bisexual John Mayer. This disturbing visual comes a few days after singer Mayer posted a long rambling thing to his blog "about a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog... who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man." [Perez] (Photo via Perez)
  • OK! Magazine wanted to do a big cover story on Britney Spears' miraculous weight loss, but Brit was too fat or ravaged looking or something, so the magazine just substituted a four-year-old photo instead and implied it was a new shot of Spears "back to her old body." [Huffington Post]
  • CNN anchor Anderson Cooper bought some pairs of the Armani underwear touted by soccer champ David Beckham, size small. Cooper had just interviewed Beckham for 60 Minutes and asked Beckham to sign one of his Armani ads. So precious. [AC Effects]
  • Actress Lindsay Lohan is not being cooperative about recording her new album. [Daily News]
  • Mayor Michael Bloomberg can't stop talking about how he got a table at Waverly Inn the other night. Sad. Tuesday at 10:30? Thought so. [Daily News]
  • Chelsea Handler of E! said she really loves boning her boss, or her boss' boss or whatever. [P6]
  • Singer Bobby Brown said ex-wife Whitney Houston, the soul diva, got him into coke. [P6]
  • Ed Westwick of Gossip Girl was a drunken cad at Beatrice Inn. Guy knows how to stick to the script. [P6]
  • To "not deal with the media," movie star Brad Pitt got rid of his publicist. Wife Angelina Jolie's crafty mind is, of course, behind the whole, uh, ingenious plot. [P6]

Perez Hilton Last Hope For Sad Economy

Did you know that Perez Hilton is "the gay Latino Oprah?" Or that he totally launched the singer Amy Winehouse? It's true because it's on television! Financial news network CNBC has discovered Perez and decided he is an increasingly important part of the dysfunctional American economy, so we all continue to be doomed. After the jump, gay Latino Oprah explains his appeal in a report that will be seen by powerful businessmen everywhere and probably trigger the next financial panic. More »
