In 2004, Perez Hilton founded his eponymous site, changing the celebrity gossip game forever. At its peak, PerezHilton.com is reported to have had 7 million visitors a day. In this episode, Mary and Kelsey look back at 20 years of “The Queen of All Media,” his biting commentary and signature (usually inappropriate) doodles, and the toxic tabloid culture of y2k. They also examine Perez’s instrumental role in kickstarting the careers of two of today’s biggest pop stars - Katy Perry and Lady Gaga - and his *very public* falling out with Gaga. They also discuss Perez’s change of heart in 2010 when he vowed to stop being mean to celebrities. If you ran to the computer lab between classes to refresh Perez’s site and read the latest celeb news, this episode is for you!
