Sincerez Form Of Flattery?

perez_merch.jpg
When Torontoist hit up perezhilton.com this morning to check for updates on Britney’s hoo-ha, we were struck by a sense of familiarity over Perez’s new line of merchandise. If you’ll remember, we did an interview with the Gossip Gangsta back in September, accompanied by a graphic of Perezzle as a saint that we made.
We knew Hilton was a fan—he did ask us to make a version for t-shirts (and to pay for it)—but we never heard much more from him and we didn’t bother. Though we like the idea of turning the graphic into a chulo tattoo, the last one there is a bit shiteous. It also seems like San Perez has been downgraded to Cardinal Lavandeira and looks a bit, um, “special” unlike our original image’s unintentional resemblance to Adam Carolla.

    Bah! There’s no way around this: piece by piece, Perez ripped you off.

  • Please

    Lostracco, you’re a talented guy (seriously), why must you suck up to this knob?

  • tee.

    Perez is a disgusting human being.

  • Marc Lostracco

    Sucking-up? How? By saying he offered to pay (which he did offer)? I kinda don’t care about him either way. My original interview was just a fluffy Film Festival piece; it wasn’t to trick him into giving an interview so I could trash him.

    Perez is boring. WWTDD.com is much better, for your anti-celebrity gossip…

    Perez rips from Faded Youth anyway.
    For those of you unfamiliar, bookmark FY. You will thank me.

    Perez steals from everyone, his ads pay by the number of new visitors and people who come to the site. You don’t even have to click the ads!
    Perez is a waste of skin and space.

    Did you guys know that the image you created was used on a feature Geraldo did on Perez Hilton? The video was posted on perezhilton.com…

  • David Topping

    Now that’s something to put on our about page. Geraldo!

  • Marc Lostracco

    No, I didn’t know it was in that Geraldo piece, so thanks for the heads-up, Alison! I spent way too long making that graphic, so maybe it’s worth it by now. FYI, that Geraldo piece can be seen here.
