Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. (born March 23, 1978), also known as Perez Hilton, is an American blogger, columnist, and media celebrity.
PerezHilton.com (formerly PageSixSixSixSix.com) is a celebrity gossip website that publishes news about celebrities.
He is also known for sharing tabloid photos over which he has added his own captions or "doodles."
His blog has sparked controversy for its demeanor, its former outing of suspected closeted celebrities, and its involvement in the increasing coverage of celebrities in all forms of media. Hilton has written three books, produces a podcast with Chris Booker, and has appeared in two off-Broadway shows.
BroadwayWorld named him "the first celebrity social media influencer" in 2018.
Early life
Hilton was born in Miami, Florida, to Cuban parents. He was born in Little Havana and Westchester, Florida, and later attended Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, an all-boys Catholic school in Miami. Hilton earned a scholarship to New York University in 1996, and the young actor won a scholarship.
Personal life
In 2013, Hilton moved to Manhattan, New York City, saying, "I love New York, and here's where me and my growing family want to call home right now." Hilton was referring to his first child, Mario Armando Lavandeira III, who was born with a donor egg and carried by a surrogate mother. Mia Alma Lavandeira, his daughter, was born on May 9, 2015 via survivance. He welcomed Mayte Amor, his second daughter, on October 4, 2017, also via survivate.
When Perez said he wishes his son Mario is heterosexual because "it would be simpler" than being homosexual, Perez expressed some doubt about his parenting in April 2018. He said he would not enroll his son for dance lessons if asked because "dance class might make [his] child gay."
Blogging career
Hilton attempted to work as an actor after graduating from New York University in 2000 and before beginning his blogging career. He served as a media relations consultant for gay rights group GLAAD for a short time, as well as being a staff writer for gay publications in NYC, and he was briefly the managing editor of Instinct, a gay men's newspaper. "Because it looked simple," he began blogging.
Hilton's celebrity gossip includes an unashamed desire to mingle with and be a part of celebrity culture. He often speaks out about celebrity awards shows, clubs, and private events he has attended, as well as photos of himself with the celebrities he writes about on his blog under the heading "Perez" category. Although Hilton has a fondness for some celebrities, including Lady Gaga and Sophia Bush, he also has a "vendetta" against certain actors, including Disney Channel star Vanessa Hudgens and Gossip Girl teen actress Taylor Momsen. Miley Cyrus, a teen sensation, revealed her personal disapproving of Hilton on Twitter, to which he replied. However, some have argued that Hilton's proximity to the celebrities about whom he writes has resulted in biased coverage on his website. He appears to have befriended Paris Hilton, the source of his stage name and a regular theme of his blogs. For example, it has been stated that he rarely covers news or rumors casting Paris Hilton in a negative or unflattering light, and that unlike most gossip pages, he regularly acknowledges and praises her positive results.
In addition, Hilton has been known to speak out against discriminatory conduct of celebrities and other public figures. He ordered the dismissal of Isaiah Washington from ABC television series Grey's Anatomy for making homophobic remarks, and he's urging his followers to do the same. The Hollywood Gossip blog chastised Hilton for dismissing Paris Hilton's racist and homophobic comments in early 2007.
Hilton often promotes his up-and-coming artists by posting streams of their songs under the "Listen to This" tab of his blog. Mika, a London-based singer, has attributed in part to Hilton's continuing support in North America. Both Hilton and Mika appear to be friends.
Hilton said during an interview with Cliché Magazine (June/July 2010), he only started blogging as a hobby. "What set my website apart was the fact that most blogs were mainly online journals and diaries before PerezHilton.com," PerezHilton.com says, but I was unaware of this. "I wanted to write about celebrities because they're much more amusing." PageSixSixSix.com was named "Hollywood's Most coveted Website" by The Insider on March 11, 2005, triggering a temporary halt in its network, which temporarily disabled its server. Hilton reported that over 8.82 million page views in a 24-hour period on July 30, 2007, a reportedly "ordinary day." Hilton's traffic allegations are untrue by other sources.
Fergie, a pop star, has confirmed that she is referring to Hilton in her song "Pedestal" (2006), in which she criticizes an unidentified individual for making derogatory remarks about her on the Internet.
Hilton announced the death of Cuban President Fidel Castro on August 17, 2007, citing primary sources. He was the first media outlet in the country to break the news. Despite Hilton's boast that US officials will make an announcement within hours, no news was made, and no major media outlets confirmed Castro's death. The Associated Press later discovered that rumors were sparked after a meeting of Miami officials who were supposed to address the city's plans after Castro died. A road closure in the Florida Keys that was attributed to a police standoff had fuelled rumors. Castro appeared in an interview on Cuban television on September 21, 2007, "looking frail but sounding lucid," and ridiculing rumors of his death.
Perez appeared on The Tyra Banks Show on September 9, 2009, citing his premature coverage of Castro's death as his "one regret."
Hilton was dubbed "Hispanic of the Year" by Terra.com in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month on September 15, 2008.
PerezHilton.com was ranked as the 1,234th most visited website globally in an article published dated October 2014, with the website's popularity slightly down.
