The Advocate’s Perez Interview

As if we needed any more reason to dislike Perez Hilton today, these were his thoughts in a recent Advocate interview about the recent scandal where he called will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas a faggot:

“I thought about calling him the n word,” he says over the phone a week after the incident, “but I thought the f word was even worse. I was so filled with hate at that moment because I was hated on so much, and I reacted in the worst way possible. Then I went on to make a bunch of other mistakes. I shouldn’t have made the video. I shouldn’t have released so many statements. But what’s come out of all of this is that I’ve learned so much about myself, and I’m in a much better place. I’m actually thankful that it happened. As cheesy as it may sound, I had almost a spiritual moment when I just let all of the anger and worry go and am now filled with peace, happiness, and wisdom. I could let this jade me and go back to being the super bitch that I was when I first started the website, but I’ve softened on my website and in life, maybe because I’m happier in my personal life than I’ve ever been.”

And yet he manages to dominate the gay headlines. Hrm. This is like Carrie Prejean all over again. Too much coverage of someone whose actual value is approximated at 0.
