Perez Hilton flubs by taking Will Ferrell joke as fact

At least Perez Hilton is consistent – consistently late and wrong.
Yesterday, Gossip Cop debunked a story about Will Ferrell wanting to play Simon Cowell in a movie. It all originated with quotes printed in The Sun in which the funnyman said, “I would love to play Simon Cowell in a movie – heck I would love it. It would be my dream role.”
Ferrell then comedically compared Cowell to his “Anchorman” character Ron Burgundy.
Now fast forward – a day later – and you have Perez’s piece, which begins, “LOLs! Will Ferrell has revealed his dream role – to play the lead part in a Simon Cowell biopic!”
No, LOLs… Perez, who’s so afraid of Gossip Cop that he blocks us on Twitter, actually takes Ferrell’s JOKING about playing Cowell seriously.
No, seriously.
“Cop Blocker” Hilton writes, “Simon actually has a pretty good sense of humor — we could kinda see this happening!”
Seriously?
Well, it’s not going to happen. Gossip Cop fact-checks, and Ferrell’s rep told us – yesterday – these reports are “false.”
Besides Ferrell’s kidding, the only other thing that’s laughable here is Perez’s reporting.
