Queen of Mean - The most hated man in Hollywood talks about life as Perez Hilton

Three years ago Mario Lavandeira was a washed-up magazine writer, contemplating suicide. But then he started a blog about celebrities under the name Perez Hilton. Today he has seven million readers and is becoming as famous as the stars he lampoons. Here he tells his story…

Comedienne Roseanne said she wanted to shoot me. Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe fantasised about killing me. Actress Tara Reid threatened to throw me in the pool at a party. And one of Nicole Richie’s friends elbowed me in the face.

I’ve been called the most hated man in Hollywood, and maybe I am, but I don’t care if people like me or loathe me, just so long as they’re reading my website.”*
