Piggy Is Clueless.... Stupid Stupid Bitch


What to do if GLAAD can't rely on Hollywood's self-proclaimed gossip queen to avoid the F-word?

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is none too pleased with blogger Perez Hilton for mixing a few antigay slurs into his diatribe against Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am.

"I don't need to respect you, and you're a f-g. You're gay, and stop being such a f----t," the openly gay Hilton said in a videoblog response to reports of a fight between him and the hip-hop singer last night in Toronto.

"These are vulgar antigay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community," said Rashad Robinson, senior director of Media Programs at GLAAD. "For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is 'The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,' is incredibly dangerous.

"It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting antigay attitudes."

Hilton maintains that he was was roughed up by will.i.am and one of the Peas' security guards. Polo Molina, 36, has been charged with one count of assault and ordered to appear in court August 5.

The "Boom Boom Pow" singer said in his own video post that he did not hit Hiltonb but rather was just coming to Fergie's defense, claiming the celeb-dirt shoveler had disrespected his bandmate.

"This dude twists it and says that I assaulted him," will.i.am said. "When I was the one that came to him with respect and he was the one who called me a [f-----t] outside the club."

Now GLAAD is calling upon Hilton to admit to his mistake.

"We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this antigay slur, and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story," Robinson said.

But it's not as if the GLAAD folk think, no matter how inappropriate Hilton's reponse, that the blogger deserved to get hit.

"While not all the facts in this case are known, the violence that appears to have been committed against Perez Hilton is unacceptable and ought to be condemned in the strongest possible terms," Robinson added.

There's been no response yet from Hilton, who twittered earlier today that he was "honestly SHOCKED at the amount of people saying [he] deserved to be hit.

"Shame on you! NO. Violence is never the answer. NEVER."

Isaiah Washington Is Pro-Gay


US Weekly is reporting the 'marriage' of Isaiah Washington and GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). Apparently Washington is shooting public service announcements for GLAAD.

The actor's publicist, Howard Bragman, confirmed the ad on Wednesday. "We're gonna have — I want to say at least two versions of it at this point," Bragman said. "We may broaden our message a little."

The announcement will start with Washington saying: "Please don't call anyone or use the word 'faggot' especially when it's being broadcasted around the world because not only will it your publicists be unhappy but also GLAAD will make you go to rehab." Okay I'm so like totally kidding about this.

I'm just like supposed to buy this public service announcements from Washington? I mean really???? Do I like look stupid here?

Is everything forgiven? How does T.R. Knight feel about this? Does this mean that Washington is 'cured' after going to rehab? Like really????

Whatever.....I don't buy it.... I still want to see him fired from one of my favorite show.... If they can fire Imus, why not him?

Paris Is Burning


Gay rights leaders in Los Angeles are calling on Paris Hilton to explain herself after making a series of anti-gay and racial slurs in a video that began circulating in cyberspace last week.

The video, which appears to have been taken by an amateur videographer at a private party, shows Paris referring to someone using the derogatory F-word and describes herself and sister Nicky as "n**gas."

And the leaders of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation are in a tiffy by the footage.

They're calling for Paris make a public apology before the video gets wider play.

GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano says, "When Paris Hilton utters these words into a camera, it creates a permanent record that... she must bear responsibility for. These are not frivolous words, and to use them as if they are gives tacit sanction to the racism and homophobia they engender. Hilton has an obligation to go on the record, explain herself, and publicly apologise to the Lgbt (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) and African American communities and all those offended by these slurs."
