We don't like to talk negatively here at Torontoist—just not our style, you see—so we'll just mention that Perez Hilton will be in town for the MuchMusic Video Awards and that he'll host a party afterwards called One Night in Toronto, sponsored by CK One. CK One! We were so thrilled that we immediately dusted off the half-used bottle we got in 1996 and misted, darling, misted! After, we totally crossed the border to shop in Buffalo and picked up some items from Perez's clothing line at Hot Topic. Shutter shades and knee-high socks? Super fierce! Finally, Perez has, like, the best taste in music, so we went to check out... what? Simple Plan is playing his party? Screw that. We're gonna sit at home and play with MS Paint all night!

So apparently there's some sort of thing going on up in Barrie at (Molson) Park Place this Saturday. A whole bunch of bands, raising awareness, blah blah blah.
