Okay, I try to limit my posts about Perez Hilton on any of my blogs (and I certainly won’t be giving him any click-through traffic), because I don’t think he needs the extra attention. But I’m just about reaching boiling point when it comes to his constant sexist, misogynist and frequently homophobic crap.
For example (from a piece on Ethan Hawke marrying his children’s former nanny):
Now, the pregnant whore has finally married Ethan in a ceremony that took place last month in New York City, as we told you, the actor’s rep has now confirmed.
Or from a piece on Jessica Biel’s Harper’s Bazaar cover:
They did manage to make her look more feminine, though, and less like a dog.
Or Rose McGowan:
The pair met and fell in love on the set of the film Grindhouse. Rodriguez was married at the time and McGowan was the homewrecker.
I don’t think I need to go on, or mention things like calling Cynthia Nixon’s partner Christine Marinoni “The Hobbit”, or Brooke Hogan “Tranny”.
As he becomes more and more famous/”powerful”, it seems there are fewer and fewer voices questioning this side of what he does.
I realise that the gossip/celebrity “news” world isn’t exactly the most right on at the best of times, but I find Perez’s dribblings particularly distasteful. It’s the gossip mags’ deal to draw hot pink arrows pointing to “cellulite” (and so on), but Perez takes it to a different, far more alarming level. I find Perez’s constant use of terms like “bitch”, “dog”, “slut”, “fag”, “whore” and “homewrecker” abhorrent. Naturally the comments on each of his scribblings degenerate into a cesspit of hate speech and viciousness.
It would be very interesting to do a ‘word cloud’ of perezhilton.com and see how many times those sorts of sexist/homophobic terms came up. Fairly regularly, I’d predict.
Am I the only one who feels like this?
