Perez Hilton‘s story today about Kathy Griffin and the GRAMMYS caused us to scratch our heads so hard, we now have a bald spot.

Perez, who never fact-checks anything, titled his post about Griffin not winning a GRAMMY last night, “Kathy Griffin: Rants On Her Emmy Snub!“

Her WHAT snub?

Last night were the GRAMMYS, not the Emmys.

But wait, it gets worse. 

Perez writes that Griffin “took to her Twitter not long after the show to send out a sweet message of congratulations to winner Stephen Colbert. She wrote: ‘Stephen Colbert STOLE my mother f-ing Grammy!!‘”

Really?

NO.

Griffin NEVER tweeted that, and incredibly, Perez didn’t bother linking to REAL and verified account @KathyGriffin, which boasts more than 242,000 followers. Instead he linked to some other account that Griffin does NOT use, which has only 3,200 followers.

Oops.
