CW Picks Up Perez Hilton Celebrity Specials

COMMENTS (14)

• Perez was only interesting – and useful – about five years ago when he would write incredibly nasty but often true things about celebrities on his site. He was like the satanic version of Nikki Finke. His coverage of Britney’s meltdown was epic.

  This new, PR-coddling, mainstream Perez is a bore.

  • So true. At first he was like the only one who would trash celebrities really hard. But then brilliant Michael K from D-Listed showed up. And then LaineyGossip and then TMZ and Radar began trashing celebrities. And now basically every other site trash those rich narcissists.

    I used to go to Perez every day. But then I saw that he says nothing new. I can find all of that on other sites. And other sites also have 10 pictures for every post while Perez had only one.

    So I abandoned that site 3 or 4 years ago. I’m surprised that it still exists.

• Ouch to Kelly Rowland. Her special was the best episode.

• This will go the way of ‘Hater’. And yes I’m hating.

• Only 2 episodes? At least the CW is finally realizing they can’t find a successful reality show to save there lives…

• This is a OK idea — four years ago.

  But the novelty of Perez Hilton is over, the brand is tarnished and few people find him in any way appealing.

  • I agree that the novelty of Perez Hilton is over, just like the pseudo-celebrity he named himself after.

    It’s true that few people find him appealing, but how can you tarnish a brand that was pure trash to begin with? I don’t believe in fawning over celebrities, but tearing people down is not an honorable way of making a living either…

• I had no idea this loser was even still around. I’m surprised Gaga and Perry would do this. I thought they had both distanced themselves from him a while ago. Oh well, I guess that favor has now been called in.

• Why would they even bother airing this on TV? It’s web content at best. How do the CW reality TV executives still have a job after Hater and Remodeled? So many questions and not enough answers!

• Based on their track record with reality shows-this should do really well-NOT!!! This will be about as successful as H8ter and that Remodeled nonsense! Maybe the CW should concentrate more on improving the quality on their scripted programs. If they did that-maybe-just maybe they could be more successful and deserve to truly be called a “network”-instead of a channel (based on its’ shows ratings) that most viewers simply dismiss or ignore. They should stop throwing away money at reality programs that won’t EVER be a success on their “network”! That money would be better served improving the quality of their current scripted lineup-and- also purchasing better programs in the future. Thank you.

• WOW! Haters…Does anyone realize the power Perez has in the music industry. He was the one who first posted Gaga on his website. Its amazing how we stood behind him when he was less “nice” but everyone complained how they didn’t like him and now that he has changed we want nothing to do with him…We as Americans are never happy. I say good for Perez…Go get em!!!

  • The power that Perez has? How is his little imprint label doing? And please he piggy backed off everyone else on the Gaga train, she was on the verge of being huge in Europe by the time he found out about her from Popjustice. And if he’s soooo almighty and powerful why has he failed to launch Kat Graham and MattyB in the same way?

    And nobody liked his snarking before, they were just merely amused by it.

• These episodes are the worst are were COMPLETELY panned in the UK, they did terribly.They will go the same way here.

  When will Perez wake up and see that people cannot stand him or his “brand” they are only interested in the service his website provides.
