Perez Hilton Loses 800,000 Twitter Followers After Controversial Remarks About Michael Jackson
Perez Hilton has been dropped by more than 800,000 of his followers on Twitter after making controversial remarks about the late Michael Jackson, MediaBistro.com has learned. Nearly 1 million of the celebrity blogger’s 1.8 million followers hit the road last week after the always charming
Perez (Insert eye-roll here) ruffled the feathers of fans by suggesting that the King of Pop was faking a heart attack to get out of his 50-date This Is It Tour, which would have kicked off in London in July.
After the musician’s passing, Perez removed the post from his website, but it appears the damage has already been done. Soon thereafter, a campaign spread across the Twitter nation urging people to drop Perez. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Tweets including the hash tag “#unfolllowperez” have been popping up all of the popular social networking site since last week.
The gays should really get together and vote to have this guy tossed out of the LGBT community. His remarks were insensitive and unacceptable and he’s making you look bad.

I love how websites like Popcrunch make money off of Perez Hilton's idea, and then trash him.

Well good, that's what he gets. Maybe he'll learn to stop being such a big mouthed jerk now.
Probably not though. :(

Perez Hilton doesn't have a patent on blogging. Futhermore, he deserves to be trashed for what he said. And you deserve a Loser Stick for supporting him. Cackling about how fugly someone is is one thing, poking fun at a music legend — or anyone for that matter — as they lie critically ill is another. He's tacky and tasteless. I'd hop off his nuts, if I were you….

Are lies like this really necessary considering how many people are upset about this.?
