Perez Hilton is a Poe excuse for a reporter
4:39 pm, March 14th, 2010

(PerezHilton.com)
Today Perez Hilton writes, “Not True! Joaquin Phoenix Not Playing Poe!”
What’s interesting about that headline is that Gossip Cop exclusively busted the rumor Joaquin Phoenix was going to play Edgar Allen Poe TWO DAYS AGO, while at the same time Perez initially called Phoenix’s being (reportedly) tapped for the Poe role an “Inspired casting choice.”
Whoops.
Now, Perez has done an about face.
But what’s also interesting is that for today’s reversal, Perez cut and pasted reporting from ContactMusic, which noted Phoenix’s rep “tells GossipCop.com the star will not be appearing in the picture.”
Huh?
So rather than going to the original source (Gossip Cop) to admit he was wrong, Perez links to a third party, which rightfully gave Gossip Cop credit.
We probably shouldn’t expect more from a guy who still blocks us on Twitter.
