Gossip blogger Perez Hilton rolls into radio and TV
Forget blogging. The future is old media, at least for Perez Hilton. Mario Lavandeira will launch a twice-daily miniradio show starting May 5. The shows, each three minutes long, will run during morning and afternoon drivetimes in LA, NYC and Chicago. He's also going to make more television appearances, appear in a movie, write a book and make a possible deal with Warner Bros. Records. Hilton hopes all the attention will drive traffic to his website and "introduce me, potentially, to a whole new audience." Who needs Perez Hilton? We have our very own gay gossip blogger, and his faux-hawk is far superior to Perez's strange do, thank you very much.

Perez Hilton says "Later, girlfriend" to YouTube

The fatal misstep that got Perez Hilton banned
More details on Perez Hilton's YouTube woes: Apparently it was his posting of this video of Liza Minelli collapsing on stage that caused his account to be banned. Normally YouTube removes a video when it receives a DMCA message and that's the end of it. This time though, says our tipster, Idolator editor Maura Johnston, it "was a 'repeat offender' thing". No surprise there. Hilton has built his entire site on images of questionable legality. Our timeline after the jump. More »

The five sites you must stop reading (and five to replace them)
Is the Onion still funny, or have you just gotten used to reading it so you haven't seen it decline from its '90s heyday to the pool of mediocrity it is today? How about Boing Boing, McSweeney's, CNN.com, or Perez Hilton? It's time to feel bad about what you like, for that is the path to enlightenment, or at least to not being that dink who IMs me month-old jokes about Bush. More »

The Pledge to Not Suck at the Internet
The Internet is not an excuse to be boring, stupid, or cruel. Well, cruel's fine. So join me in taking the Pledge to Not Suck at the Internet.
