Whoops, I lied! Sorry. Looks like future failed A&R kingpin Perez Hilton has gone and voiced his concerns about the timeliness rumored Lollapalooza headliners Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead with his usual stinging brevity. (Total word count: 23. Total comments thus far: like, a lot.) But if you were expecting Perez’s loyal army of whatever-the-hell-you-call-people-who-read-Perez-Hilton (Perezzies? Please tell me it’s not Perezzies) to stand up to the NIN blog-reading loonies who will invariably descend on the PH comments box to rumble Sharks v. Jets/mods v. rockers/Marlo v. Avon/Mario v. Wario style, guess again. Turns out Perez’s readers are none too happy with their Manic Panic’d, polyester-pants’d Buddha’s sermonizing this time out. In fact, they’re kinda pissy.
#29 - YES! says
are you seriously dissing both of these bands?? perez….come on now. get it together.
#33 - daisy says
shut the fuck up perez you don’t know shit about music, you like janet jackson and kylie minogue
#34 - pH_99 says
Radiohead is bigger than jesus and the beatles. This concert will be huge.
Jesus and the beatles will be selling hot dogs there.
#36 - John Smith says
Wow, you have proven yourself to be a talentless prick who has no ability to respect talent. Nine inch nails is still going strong, and Radio head has made millions of dollars off of its new album (which was sold online for free or at a fan’s price of choosing) simply due to the fact that they have such a huge broadreaching fanbase. Go back to your lesbian gangbang with hillary.
Oh, c’mon leave Hilary out of it, she’s got enough to deal with this week with one of her biggest contributor getting busted for who knows how many hand-shandies. Meanwhile, 900 pages later:
#818 - perez is a fat fatty says
What the fuck do you know about rock music you fat annoying fuck? You probably think Fall Out Boy is Rock. Stick to Kylie and Madonna, McChunky. Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are both amazing bands, anytime. I bet you smell like dirty hair Perez.
#918 - CELEB NEWS RUINS SOCIETY says
STICK TO POINTLESS NEWS AND DON’T TRY TO COVER IMPORTANT INFORMATION A.K.A RADIOHEAD & NINE INCH NAILS ARE 2 OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME A.K.A BRITNEY SPEARS & ONES LIKE HER IS NOT REAL MUSIC
#1004 - Roger says
Get a clue, Perez. Who would you want headlining? Jewel? That’s who you were pimping earlier. SHE is ten years ago. Radiohead is NOW.
Rumor has it Madonna might also pull a Coachella and play Lolla this year. Does that tickle your clit
And it just kinda goes on like that. PH readers be likin’ some In Rainbows. Leaving aside this evidence of the fine-tuned accuracy of Perez’s pulse-finding finger (his considered opinions on the relevance/money-making potential of one of 2007’s chart-topping acts should offer some solace to the more nervous suits at WMG), could this display offhand snark resulting in such mass ire be the first sign of Perez’s comment bots abandoning him en masse, thus freeing us from our brief blogosphere nightmare/having to hear the words “oh, like Perez Hilton” whenever we tell an aging family member/man on the street what we do for a living? Please? No. Of course not. But we can dream. [Perez Hilton; HT to reader Mitch/Madman for starting my day the Perez way]
hopefully this is the beginning of the end for house/gossip queen perez hilton
Any time Perez says something negative about an artist fans of said artist decend on his webpage and talk about how he’s wrong and they’re right. His post on “Touch My Body” and the comments for that post is one example. Perez can’t get a break if he’s not blindly praising any artist.
@encyclopediablack: Perezbians??
@rad_matter: yeah, poor guy.
perez hilton sucks!! his readers are dumb overweight teenage girls.

I’m more offended that it is 2008 and we’re talking about Lollapolooza.
Ten years is generous. Pushing fifteen would have been more accurate.
@Captain Wrong: Hilarifying. Awesome and accurate. God, I gonna have fun using that word.
Jesus does make a pretty good hotdog.
You could at least c+p what the moron himself said that got everyone so up in arms, because I’m definitely not clicking over to his site to find out.
@Al Shipley:
“Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are expected to headline Lollapalooza this summer. Really??? This would have been a great lineup… 10 years ago!”
@extracrispy: Hebrew National?
You have to admit, out of context, Pz is right.
Perez Hilton’s readers are called Perezites. At least that’s what I call them.
Perezites. That’s what I call them.
When a band is actually, you know, good…they make a good lineup ten years ago as well as today. Perez Hilton is not familiar with any such bands.
@encyclopediablack: I just call them fuckwits.
IdolHATER ;)
The best part is that Perez is trying to become a concert promoter. He’s got serious case of cocsacie.
@mackro: in context, he’s right too. This time, anyway.
And that picture you guys run everytime you bring up this douche…sheesh. It’s horrifying and hilarious at the same time. (Hilarifying?) Seriously, I’m supposed to care what this guy thinks about anything? He makes fun of other’s looks and thinks that ensemble was a good idea?
Perez is as dim-witted and unaware as the tabloid trash he writes about.
You’re quite welcome, Jess. This was my pleasure to give to Idolator to cover :)
I can only imagine how many more responses there will be to Perez’s debauchery.
Also, why does he have Riskay, Robyn and N.E.R.D. at HIS SXSW show?
That just seems all wrong. I like Robyn, but Riskay is probably the trashiest whorebag singer in modern history.
Damn…
