During WOW reporter Damiana Garcia and wowlebritiy Thairin Smothers' tour of the 2009 WeHo Halloween carnival, they unwittingly crossed paths with a rising web celebrity, the "(Wo)Man of WeHo." This intriguing lady was featured earlier this week in a WOW Report Snap Cap, and she's currently being championed by Perez Hilton, who's determined to make her an internet star. Now that (Wo)Man has entered the blogosphere with a splash, we've dug up this unseen footage of Damiana's Halloween encounter with her. Incidentally, this was the same night that Damiana bumped into none other than Levi ...

Perez Hilton made some WILD claims to radio host Big Boy on his Thursday broadcast: John Mayer performed oral sex on a man, watches gay porn and he believes he’s a closeted gay man. These WTF revelations come on the heels of John Mayer’s controversial Playboy interview, in which he used the n-word, f-word, dished dirty details on sex with Jessica Simpson and infuriated Perez by describing his infamous smooch with the blogger as disgusting. “I grabbed him and gave him the dirtiest, tongue-iest kiss I have ever put on anybody – almost as if I hated f*gs,” ...

Popstar John Mayer has come under criticism for his offensive racial and sexual remarks in an upcoming Playboy article interview. He has since apologized for his use of the N word but has not done so for saying "fags". In the interview Mayer is asked if he has ever kissed a man:“The only man I’ve kissed is Perez Hilton. It was New Year’s Eve and I decided to go out and destroy myself. I was dating Jessica [Simpson] at the time, and I remember seeing Perez Hilton flitting about this club and acting as though he had just invented ...

Yesterday I posted briefly about the John Mayer Playboy interview where he drops an N-bomb and an F-bomb, talks about not being sexually attracted to black girls, and how he kissed Perez Hilton as a form of gay-bashing. Probably not the best way to come off as being a cool, progressive guy. Mayer has tweeted apologies and tried to make amends. But at a Nashville concert on Wednesday he apologized onstage and got a bit choked up. Do I think he’s racist? Or homophobic? No and No. Do I think he’s self-destructive? I sure do. Watch the apology. ...

 More from the John Mayer Playboy interview I posted about in the news round-up yesterday. Here he's asked if he's ever kissed a man: "The only man I’ve kissed is Perez Hilton. It was New Year’s Eve and I decided to go out and destroy myself. I was dating Jessica [Simpson] at the time, and I remember seeing Perez Hilton flitting about this club and acting as though he had just invented homosexuality. All of a sudden I thought, I can outgay this guy right now. I grabbed him and gave him the dirtiest, tongue-iest kiss I ...

 If you haven't been following lgbt issues that long, you might not even have heard of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). GLAAD is the main organization in the queer community that is supposed to be challenging heterosexism in the media. It has lost its way.Michael Rogers, on Blog Active, complained about GLAAD's decision not to nominate his movie Outrage for one of their awards. GLAAD's reasoning for the decision was as muddled as a typical George Will or Andrew Sullivan commentary. But, what really struck me is just how angry the commenters were at ...

Boy George recently was released from jail in the UK but now he may already be in talks with Lady Gaga to perform at her London concert according to Perez Hilton’s celebrity website.  Boy George could be part of Lady Gaga’s exciting O2 Arena show in London.  This is a show I would love to see in person because Gaga may be able to breathe the life back into Boy George. The latest gigs from Boy George include a dj set at Area Nightclub in London.  He had a House of Blues tour scheduled for the U.S. but that ...

When you think about the gay community as a whole, what kind of images usually stick out in your mind? If you’re like most Americans, I’m sure you think of things like Queer as Folk or The L word, Jack on Will and Grace, Lance Bass, Perez Hilton, Chris Crocker, Kurt from Glee or whatever random characters on whatever random TV show happens to have a token gay character. As a queer person, do you feel like you identify directly with any of these stereotypes? If you do, you’re in a small percentile. The mainstream expectation of most gay men ...

Perez Hilton has the scoop on Serena Williams' statement on the record fine levied on her as a result of her profane outburst at the 2009 US Open.Here it is, in its entirety: Hey Guys! As the world seems to know or for those who don't I want to speak about my recently dubbed "outburst" and how I feel. I have recently been fined by the Grand Slam Committee of the ITF (International Tennis Federation) over 82 thousand dollars for getting mad and using the "F-bomb" at a line Judge. To clear things up FIRST ...

It's not often that I would use the descriptor "good" in the same sentence as the National Organization for [Hetersexual] Marriage. However, I will concede that one thing NOM is good at is writing narratives that resonate with people's fears.For instance, after Proposition 8 took away the right for same-sex couples to marry in California and LGBT advocates took to the streets in protest, NOM hyperventilated, "McCarthyism is threatening our free speech and freedom of association—our most basic constitutional rights. Donors who exercised these rights in supporting proposition 8 are seeing their employers or companies being targeted for harassment ...

I found this article in The New York Times, "100 Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do (Part 1)" amusing, and also true, for the most part.I was glad to see some of my pet peeves mentioned, including:"Do not turn on the charm when it’s tip time. Be consistent throughout."and"Do not interrupt a conversation. For any reason. Especially not to recite specials. Wait for the right moment."I don't know if it's because many servers are wannabe actors, but oftentimes, I find myself so distracted by the hyper "presentation" of the specials that I'm too annoyed to actually focus on what ...

Oh Carrie. Sweet, sweet Carrie: Christianity Today: Looking back, would you re-word your reply? Carrie Prejean: Looking back now, I've become so much more educated. In fact, Perez Hilton wasn't even correct when asking the question. He said, "Vermont recently legalized same-sex marriage. Do you think other states should follow suit? Why or why not?" Actually, the people in Vermont didn't even vote. It was the legislature that voted. It's funny, looking back now; obviously I'm a lot more educated [now]. I'm not a spokesperson for traditional marriage, but looking back now, it was such a biased question. For a judge to ...

Our love-hate relationship with self-important gay PR flak Jonathan Jaxson is a complicated affair. We hate seeing him craving for attention as he strives for the A-list, but love mocking him at every twist and turn. His on-again, off-again relationship with Kim Zolciak, she of the well-endowed women on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” brought him plenty of attention this year, both from us, the AJC and Q100. He reps her, they squabble, he quits. They sue. They get together. Repeat that cycle at least once, throwing a Zolciak visit to Blake’s in the mix. Jaxon’s quest for fame attention has ...

Carrie Prejean used to be Miss California USA. Therein lies quite a story related to her fall from grace. It went something like this. Born in 1987, into a fundamentalist Christian home, Prejean’s parents divorced. If it were not for her homophobia, Ms Prejean would probably be viewed as one of the better sorts of fundamentalist. She currently attends a PTI, San Diego Christian College, and works with intellectually and developmentally disabled children. At this year’s Miss California USA beauty pageant, Prejean vocally opposed same-sex marriage, leading to harsh condemnation from Perez Hilton, one of the judges (and an out ...

We consummated another year with Stephen Moser … The Moser clan That complicated, guileless, erratic, predictable, generous, greedy, wicked, innocent, witty, senseless, candid, weird, cosmopolitan, local, proud, bellicose, sweet, maddening designer, writer and man about town.

One thing’s for certain: He’s never boring … John Salazar and Stephen Rice And that was the case at Oilcan Harry’s for his 52cd birthday party on Sunday, two years after being diagnosed with high-potency prostate cancer, a few months after being arrested for arson, a few days after his name ...
