Perez Hilton On Perez Hilton
PEREZ Hilton - celebrity blogger gone native - is talking about his favouite thing: Perez Hilton:
“Why do I think I’m so popular?” He stifles a yawn, teetering backwards in his chair like a truculent schoolboy.
“Well, I think a few different things have helped. The fact that I was one of the first celebrity news bloggers; the fact that I work really hard, because the more content I have each day, the more traffic I get. I start at four in the morning and I work 16 to 17 hours straight, updating the website around 25 times a day.”
On his celebrity status, he says, “I don’t think my own fame prevents me from doing my job. When I go to parties, people recognise me and that’s another tool in my bag of tricks. On the website, I’m not afraid to say what I think; I’m an individual, I’m subjective, I’m not some big corporate machine and people can relate to that. I would describe myself as an entertainer who likes to inform - a sort of info-tainer.”
Perez Hilton is a celebrity…

Doesn’t one have to be entertaining to call oneself an “entertainer”? Perez seems to have missed that blindingly obvious little fact….
