Perez Hilton Vows To Stop Bullying Celebrities on 'Ellen' (VIDEO)

by Jeremy Taylor, posted Oct 13th 2010 5:40PM



Perez Hilton has long been the queen of Internet mean. But as he told Ellen DeGeneres today on 'Ellen,' a slew of high profile cases of gay bullying that resulted in teen suicides have made him reevaluate the tone of his usually-vicious celebrity gossip website, PerezHilton.com.

"From now on I really want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem, and I want to be the change that I want to see in others," Hilton declared. "So I'm going to do things differently on my website, than I have in the past. I'm not going to call people nasty nicknames, I'm not going to go the mean route. I'm going to force myself try to be funny or smarter . . . not doodle inappropriate things, not out people."

When pressed by Ellen about why it took him so long to realize that much of his site's content was hurtful to others, Hilton responded: "I kept justifying my actions to myself, these are celebrities, they signed up for this. . . I don't want to have to keep justifying what I do anymore," Hilton said.

We can report almost every doodle on PerezHilton.com today was not only appropriate, but downright positive. Almost eerily positive.

What he needs to do is quit giving head and taking anal from every queer stud that comes along.

To be fair, I've got to give Ellen credit for not cussing Hilton out on air -- given her own history with the low-rent "media" nobody would blame her.

But you know something, I've heard this from Hilton before -- he's going to tone it down, cut the childish (and often often obscene) nonsense, the sexist and even homophobic abuse. And why would he when it's paying the rent and scoring him the attention he so obviously desperately craves? Guess it's easier to doodle a penis on a photo than actually do something useful and positive in this world.

Hey, if he's sincere and cleans up his act I'll be the first to come here and apologise. But I've been here before and as the old saying goes: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Sure, Perez, and maybe you'll promise to cancel
your radio show in the future, too.
