Perez Hilton announces plans for radio show

Since the Internet was not enough for Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger recently announced plans for a weekly radio show. Hilton, also known by his real name of Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr., expressed his desire to stir some controversy in addition to sharing his love of music through a countdown radio show.
Centered around his celebrity blog, Hilton grew in fame for his unapologetic remarks and "doodles" on paparazzi photos that he uploads to his site, PerezHilton.com. While he has publicly been criticized for his less than flattering remarks about famous figures, he has proven to have a large following, as Forbes Magazine named him the number one web celebrity for the past two years. He has also provided viewing figures of his webpage to being up to 8.82 million per day.
Like celebrity figure Howard Stern, Hilton has become the person people hate to love and love to hate. Besides his website and attempts to appear at publicity events, Hilton has certified his name in entertainment news due to controversies. Like most recent being the Miss USA 2009 Pageant and the physical altercation between the Black Eyed Peas' operation manager, Polo Molina, last year following a confrontation about  derogatory comments Hilton made about Fergie on his website. He has also been brought into court several times due to releasing copyrighted content and the use of certain video footage of celebrities.
The radio show, which has been a gradual project over the past few years, is planned to be made as one similar to Ryan Seacrest's "American Top 40," but with Hilton's touch added to it. Just as Hilton attempted his own concert tour last year to spread his taste in music to the masses, he expressed  his desire to stir the pot with his style and conversations with popular entertainers. "I want to talk in depth with Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and all of these acts whom I have relationships with, Hilton said. "[I want to] ask them the questions that Ryan Seacrest would not ask them."
The hesitancy to allow Hilton on air is due to the uncertainty of what he may say or allow on his show. However, his fanbase is strong and many are excited to see what he might do. Junior Julie Carlo, who has found his material to be "entertaining and hilarious," expressed her admiration for the blogger.
"Perez Hilton tends to tell the truth," Carlo said. "Though sometimes he can promote rumors that may not be true, he definitely highlights the misbehavior of celebrities and that can be good. I feel like his radio show guests would have to be honest and he wouldn't put up with people's [dishonesty]."
There are many others, however, who have found Hilton to be offensive and "painfully blunt," as junior Alexa Tierney puts it. "He might push the boundaries more so than he already does and although it may be entertaining it might be overly abrasive," Tierney said.
Hilton spoke honestly about what listeners will become privy to through his show. "I can make fun of someone," Hilton said, "and still be a fan." If there is one thing anyone can derive from the blogger's future as a radio show personality – it will definitely be interesting.
