Perez Hilton on HX Magazine
September 11, 2007 – 7:05 amPosted Under: magazines
HX: Out of all the gay bloggers out there, why are you the one getting his own show?
Perez Hilton: First of all, I have more traffic than all of the other blogs combined—not to toot my own horn. Humility isn’t one of my strong virtues. I’m a shameless, self-promoting whore, but I’m honest about that, so in that way, I have integrity—not much, but a little bit. That traffic speaks to the suits at the TV networks: Gosh, this guy’s getting seven million readers a day? We gotta tap into that! It’s smart of them to utilize me to their advantage.
Did any celebs refuse to be on What Perez Sez?
Of course! Kelly Clarkson said no, Avril Lavigne said no. I wanted people that I had beef with on there. I thought that would’ve been great television, but they weren’t willing to go there.
Was your grilling on The View as uncomfortable as it looked at home?
Yeah, it was kind of like having sex for the first time with someone. You have really high expectations, but once you’ve gotten into it, you realize that you’re not having that much fun, and, Oh, my God, this person doesn’t know how to give me head. Then you realize that even though he’s not the best cocksucker, it’s somewhat enjoyable. That’s what I was thinking to myself: Well, it could be worse. At least I’m reaching out to a new audience. But it was a little frustrating and shocking because they pre-interviewed me and never mentioned talking to me about the children of celebrities.
Was your meeting with Posh on her Coming to America special planned?
Oh, it was totally planned. I had a meeting with her manager to talk shop, and while I was there I took the opportunity to say, “By the way, I hear Victoria’s doing a TV show. You should put me on it.” And then he did! Don’t sit around waiting for anyone to do shit for you. Make it happen yourself. She’s really fun and nice, but she had awful skin. She’s probably rotting from the inside because she doesn’t eat.
High-profile TV appearances don’t go to your head?
No, because there are still places that I’m banned from. I’m not allowed at the Chateau Marmont, I can’t go to fuckin’ Hyde, and I don’t care! What makes me happiest is just staying at home working. I feel really lucky in that I’m living my American Dream. Nobody tells me what I can or cannot do.

I was wondering who this was. I saw him this morning on The Morning Show dishing dirt on Britney.

Love your new format, Princess D!
Perez actually looks almost cute on that cover. FourFour is my favorite gay blogger. He’s pretty much, basically brilliant and funny and gay or straight, is total eye candy.
