Perez Hilton Fights Yet Again - Mark Ronson On Twitter

Posted: 23 Jun 2009 11:36 AM PDT

I was under the illusion that Perez Hilton was an ultra-snarky celebrity blogger who spent his days writing up embarrassing gossip and tittle-tattle about anyone famous. Except, of course, his celebrity friends such as Lady GaGa who he’ll always be nice about, no matter how big a fashion mistake they may make or crap record they may release.

But it seems I was wrong. In actual fact, Perez Hilton is now a celebrity in his own right and spends his day partying, presenting awards at shows, or arguing with other celebrities. You’ll no doubt be aware that Perez is claiming he was assaulted by one of Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas’ entourage outside a club at the weekend. But that’s not all.

Perez has also been feuding with uber-producer Mark Ronson on Twitter. This comes just a few months after Hilton also did the same with Lily Allen, with the pair showing their bitchy sides before Allen asked Hilton to leave her alone and stop following her on Twitter.

The new feud with Ronson came after Hilton took it upon himself to advise Ronson to remove rapper Wale from one of the tracks on Daniel Merriweather’s debut album before it was released in the States. Ronson very eloquently ignored the advice by replying, “Um, could you get rid of my Twitter address instead please? Cheers.”

Then a to-and-fro conversation happened on Twitter which shows that Ronson is an intelligent and witty man, while Hilton is rude, obnoxious, and very big-headed.

Hilton: “That wasn’t meant as a bitchy remark. I truly think the song would b better without Wale. Just looking out 4 Merriweather.”

Ronson: “Pardon me but you have made a career out of picking on teenagers, lesbians, etc. Congrats, you can now add rappers to that list.”

Hilton: “Correct. And that’s also given me a platform to talk about a lot of amazing musicians and expose them to millions of people. It’s cool, boo. I unfollowed you. And I’ll make sure to never mention Daniel Merriweather again on my site. Because not only am I fat, ugly, unfunny, stupid and a c**t, but I’m also petty. I will try and keep abreast out of who your other artists are too, so I never mention them as well! P.S. You’re an overrated hack! (We have a lot in common!).”

Maybe Perez has a point there - he has made his name on the back of others, and so has Mark Ronson - but the level of arrogance and attitude coming from Hilton these days is extreme. Has he just started to believe his own hype? Or is he determined to self-destruct, taking as many celebrities he doesn’t like down with him as he goes?

I used to like Perez Hilton and his site but the man who made us all laugh for a while has now become something of a monster. I’m glad a few of these celebs are starting to stand up to the man rather than accept his criticisms purely to get good press on the site. OK, so maybe he didn’t deserve a punch in the face for his trouble but these things happen.
