Busting bad dish!

Reports wrong that Neil Patrick Harris will open Academy Awards with a duet

Truth rating: 3

 

(PerezHilton.com)

“YES! YES! YES!” begins another piece by Perez Hilton, who can’t be bothered with accuracy.

Perez writes, “Reliable sources are saying that Neil Patrick Harris will be in the opening (sic) the Academy Awards number along with Martin Short in a song-and-dance routine choreographed by producer Adam Shankman.”

Would those be the same “reliable sources” who told him that Fidel Castro is dead?

He adds, “NPH is going to rock this and we can’t wait to watch!”

Well, Perez, won’t have to wait because a duet is NOT happening.

You’ll just have to wait to see what really happens.

In fact, Neil Patrick Harris even turned to Twitter to Gossip Cop this story. He tweeted, “I will not be performing a duet with Martin Short to open the Oscars. Misinformation, I’m afraid. Should I maybe pull a Kanye, mid-show?”

Now that would be interesting.

    Seriously, no Dawn Marie yet to explain why Perez was right to mess up this story? Has her hatred for Gossip Cop and their good reporting abated? Doubtful. Just another sign of the apocalypse…

    Wow, Sam you are obsessed with me. LMAO.

    Though I do have to defend Perez on this one considering that it was Deadline Hollywood who reported that NPH was doing a duet with Martin Short. They reported it has an exclusive. And considering that DH is usually reliable, I can see why Perez would post it. So I don’t know why you are going after him when it was Deadline Hollywood that posted it first as an exclusive. Oh that’s right. Because they are a source of the info that you post here. So instead of calling them out, you pick the easy target of Perez.

    Dawn Marie, do you believe every little thing you read about all your precious celebrities? Stop dissing Gossip Cop on this. I think Gossip Cop actually goes to their sources unlike your precious Perez Hilton will ever. Perez has been wrong in the past and he always will be.

    I think Perez is funny, but at the same time he’s a complete moron too and never finds any sources at all. I think all his stories or 95% of his stories are all in his precious little 33 year old head of his or is he 32? I forget and don’t care.

    I didn’t read it at Perez. I read it on Deadline Hollywood . They were the ones who reported it first and they are usually reliable. That is why I didn’t think it is fair to call Perez when it was an usual reliabel site that reported it before Perez. I don’t even go to Perez’s site. And no I don’t believe everything about celebrities.

    No offense, Dawn Marie, but you and Perez are imbeciles. Just because you two read it on Deadline Hollywood doesn’t mean (1) it’s true and (2) that it should be repeated without reporting it out. If Perez says he has it from “reliable sources,” he should check to see how “reliable” his sources are. He didn’t, and you are just making as big a fool of yourself as that fat idiot is by trying to deflect the fact that he didn’t do any reporting, but said he had “reliable sources.”

    His sources are not reliable, whether they are the imaginary ones in his head or the source (DeadlineHollywood) who he took the story from.

    Other people here have suggested you work with or for him, and it’s pretty obvious that that is true if you are going to go to the mat on this. He said he had “reliable sources” – he didn’t.

    If I were to say I had “reliable” sources about a baseball trade that I’m reporting on for my paper, it wouldn’t matter if I took it from the rival local paper or not. It just would expose that I didn’t have a reliable source, and that I was wrong.

    Which is what both you and Perez are — wrong!

    And congrats again to Gossip Cop for good reporting. You are obviously doing a bang-up job that this Dawn Marie has nothing to do but to bitch about you busting Perez…

    PS: Have only heard good things about the guy who runs the site. Really well-respected in the industry.

    You are sneaky, GC. Now I get it: You totally knew it wasn’t “a duet” but that NPH was going to do it himself. Now I get the line, “You’ll just have to see what really happens.” Crazy how plugged in you are!!! How do you do it?

  • Tara

    OK, GossipCop. That’s good reporting. You SO knew he was opening the show, but not doing a duet. And how the hell did you know the winners a minute before they were announced? Seriously, your Tweets before everyone else with the winner was bone chilling. Very impressive.
