ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE TO PEREZ HILTON BEING DEAD WRONG

Fidel Castro Perez Hilton

9:49 am, August 24th, 2009

Happy Anniversary, Perez! Exactly two years ago Perez Hilton posted a story that was among the reasons we created Gossip Cop. It was on this day in 2007 that “Scoop” Hilton proved just how “dead” wrong he often is.

Hilton declared, “Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that U.S. officials will be holding a press conference shortly to announce the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.”

Uh, still waiting . . .

He even boasted, “PerezHilton.com was the first media outlet in the world to break the news of Castro’s death.”

Yes, the first (and only).

Not leaving wrong enough alone, he updated his post 50 minutes later, writing, ”The announcement of Fidel Castro’s death will be made at approximately 4:00 P.M. Eastern, PerezHiton.com has just been updated exclusively.”

But after being “exclusively” proven wrong, about 75 minutes later Hilton defiantly put up a third story titled, “The Truth Will Come Out,” in which he stood “100%” by his story that “Fidel Castro is dead!”

Well, two years have gone by, and the truth has come out: Perez Hilton is still “100%” a clown.

One day, however, Fidel Castro will die, and Perez Hilton will finally be able to brag that he was the “first” to break the news of Castro’s death – of course, it will have been a good two years-plus before it ever happened.

Again, Happy Anniversary, Perez, and thanks – sort of – for keeping Gossip Cop busy!
