Perez Hilton's Blog Site

Perez Hilton’s celebrity gossip page has become one of the most well-known online tabloids there is. And the best part? The celebrity-crazed crowd no longer have to walk to their local convenicence store and shell out three dollars to read up on celebrity gossip, but can get it for free in the comfort of their own home! It can also be updated far quicker, so instead of knowing where Jessica Simpson was shopping yesterday, you can know where she was shopping four hours ago. This site and others similar to it are becoming more and more common, and could very quickly become the magazine tabloids of the future. Because we have no degree of involvement with these celebrities, which is a situational factor that influences our perception of others, we have no interest in judging them kindly or fairly. Perez Hilton realizes the lack of offence people will take at his comments, and criticizes and mocks celebrities every chance he gets. However, as long as our society keeps craving celebrity news, the Perez Hilton blog site, and others like it, probably aren't going anywhere for a while.
