New Jersey singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs (MySpace), whose song "Fuck Was I" was on Weeds, is arguably best known for her connection with the controversial and self-described "Queen of All Media" Perez Hilton, whose championing of her music led to visits on her MySpace page reportedly leaping...

@Audif Jackson Winters III: Kill her NOW. Just for the Lili Alien love - the sooner that whiny little scrag is away from us, the better the world will be.

Perez is trying to take credit for Mika - one of the most promoted new artists in recent memory (look, just because they didn't suck ClearChannel's cock to get him on national playlists instantly doesn't mean his label didn't blow a lot of other people to give uber-hype)? Hey, if it makes himself feel better - fine - and aside from a few gems he cribs from NME or actually relevant music blogs months after the fact, all the music he "promotes" is either total shit or something you'll only hear a remix of in a club after 1 AM.

He was all over the new Feist album just recently, too. So I can't say he's wrong about everything.

I feel embarrassed when I read Perez's music posts (for myself and for him). It's like he searches the archives of music blogs from a month ago and shouts, "Hey, look at this cool new band I found!" Along with the behind-the-times feel, there's also the fact that he writes like a five-year-old.

I can respect him for answering every email, because i sure as hell never do, not even from my 'staff'...

but anyone who goes to a shop called 'coffee bean and tea leaf', no matter how swanky, should be beaten with birch rods for sheer wankery.

@chrisb: There are any number of artists that I automatically despise based on a whole slew of different blogger recommendations! So no, you're not the only one.

I don't know, I think that there may be something to this. My (married, two kids) sister, who appeared to stop paying attention to new music for the first part of this decade, is now a fan of Mika and Lily Allen. And is a confirmed P***z reader. I hate to extrapolate a trend from a personal anecdote, but there's probably a causal connection.

I'm actually surprised at how decent looking he is in that photo. Most of the time he's WAYYYYY nastier and greasier. And anyone who claims his office is in a coffee shop needs punches in the face forever.

Mika who now?

I always thought he had something to do with the Hilton sisters, and I can only now imagine that he deliberately chose that name to milk that name like a Vegas hooker would milk a tourist. Quickly and with gusto...

Does this make me an ass?

I have only a vague idea of what a Perez Hilton is, and I have absolutely no idea what a Mika is, so obviously the real winner in all of this is me.

I saw the video for that "Lip Gloss" song this morning. It nearly made me weep for humanity. It's bad beyond belief. Not Fergie bad but still...

oh and fuck that guy...

The dude is gross. Lohan does seem to like fat sweaty guys, doesn't she (re: SXSW pic of her dining at Guero's with hairy guy in tank top)?

I suppose the Newsweek article fails to cover this dichotomy: If I hear that Perez is gushing over a new artist, I automatically despise them. Mika is a prime example.

Surely I'm not the only one who feels this way?

Perez is just... awful. That being said, I'm sure he did direct a lot of readers toward Mika. BUT I first read about Mika in Popbitch's July 14, 2006 newsletter (yes, I looked it up), three months before Perez started gushing over him. It directed readers to his MySpace page, which helped a lot, too, I'd assume. I also remember seeing him pop up on MTV/VH1 in late summer.

Perez is often late to the party. He made a huge fuss about the Wreckers months after their album came out.
