I don't know about you guys, but I happen to be a PerezHilton.com kinda addict. I know its lame but I just like going through the pics and the scandals when I'm bored and procrastinating :) Even though I know the topic of his "writing" is not very deep... I believe he is a pretty good business man... he's managed to make his blog one of the most viewed in America, and now he's expanding. Here's a note I read on another blog : http://www.adpulp.com/.
The Octopus's Media Garden
Perez Hilton is taking over. His site drew 2.8 million unique visitors in February, according to comScore Inc., making it the ninth-most popular entertainment-news site in the U.S.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the ubiquitous purveyor of celebrity gossip on the Internet, is now expanding his empire to the airwaves.
Starting May 5, the blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, will have his own twice-daily miniradio show.
"Radio Perez," marks the debut offering from "C" Student Entertainment Corp., a radio and mobile-focused programming provider.
"We're going to prove that [the blogosphere] is a place where you can find talent," said Andy Schuon, former head of programming at MTV and one of the backers of this new venture.
Hilton's radio show is part of a strategy that includes more television appearances; the release this summer of a feature movie, "Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild," in which Mr. Lavandeira stars as himself; a coming book; and a possible development deal with Warner Bros. Records.
