Bam Margera Responds To Roger Ebert’s Tweet Post Ryan Dunn’s Death

Ryan Dunn‘s untimely death yesterday has come as a shock to many. He was involved in a fatal car crash, along with his passenger, after losing control of his Porsche 911. What everyone’s talking about now is how Ryan was drinking before the crash (reports conflict as to how much was alcohol was consumed). Dunn posed for pictures outside the bar he was drinking at with friends, and he did look quite flushed. Reports confirm that he had at least three beers and three shots while there. The autopsy’s currently underway to see whether booze had anything to do with crash or not, but either way, the internet’s already buzzing with both condolences and debate.

One controversy that’s brewing at the moment is due to a tweet by caustic critic Roger Ebert: “Friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive.” The backlash from the comment has been tremendous and none more so than from Dunn’s friend and co-star Bam Margera who tweeted in return, “I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of s— roger ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents”. Bam followed up with another tweet that raged, “About a jackass drunk driving and his is one, f— you! Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat f—ing mouth!”

Ebert’s been silent since then tweeting about other subjects. The only time he touched upon the subject again was when PerezHilton went at him in a post, to which Ebert wrote back with, “Perez Hilton’s readers agree with me and not with Perez about my tweet on Ryan Dunn. He drank, he drove, 2 people died.” We aren’t fans of Ebert, FYI. We are completely against drinking and driving (and have lost friends because of it), but the fact is that there’s a time and a place to comment. Sounding like a “jackass” right after someone has passed away isn’t the way to go. R.I.P Ryan.

Nick Cannon Plays An April Fool’s Joke, Says Mariah Carey Is In Labor

Oh, Nick Cannon, we should have known you’d be the kind of guy to get off on a big April Fool’s joke. Cannon fled NY’s 92.3 Now mid-show this morning, announcing “Real talk, I gotta go, my wife!” after taking a phone call, with the station then tweeting “this could be the BIG DAY!!!” Perez Hilton, a regular call-in guest, was told about the hubbub, and quickly posted an exclusive that Mariah was in labor. Cannon’s co-worker Nikki Hesse even said on air “We just spoke to him on the phone. He’s going to airport right now bc (because) she’s in L.A… Confirming news from Nick Cannon… It’s time!! He’s on the way to (the) airport. He is keeping us updated throughout the rest of show. Stay tuned for an update.”

That update did eventually come, on Nick Cannon’s Twitter. “Just pulled the best April Fools’ prank on my radio show 92.3 Now FM. Got to take most of the morning off! LOL Sorry… April Fools.” Needless to say, Perez was pretty pissed, changing the headline “Mariah Carey In Labor” to “Nick Cannon is lame.” Maybe Nick will make it up to him by having Perez be the godfather.

Shield Your Child’s Eyes, Perez Hilton Is Writing A Kids Book

This might be a stretch, but does anyone else remember the episode of Sex and The City where Carrie Bradshaw pitches an idea for an anti-children’s book about a little girl with magic cigarettes? It was like, a kids’ book you’d never want your child to read. Well that’s the first thing we thought of when we heard that Perez Hilton is going to write a children’s book. The man who became famous for drawing penises in celebrity mouths is planning to write a book which “celebrates individuality and self-acceptance.” Book publisher Raymond Garcia, explains that the book, called The Boy With Pink Hair, is “a defining story about how believing in yourself and following your aspirations can not only bring out the best in you, but also in those around you. With fun, colorful and endearing characters, Perez reminds readers that by simply accepting our differences we can find the things that unite us all.”

Look, we know that Hilton is now friends with a lot of the celebs he used to bait and make fun of, and he’s softened up a bit (i.e. now he just panders instead of poking fun), but that doesn’t change the fact that his legacy doesn’t really jibe with being an example for young kids. We’re all about promoting tolerance—we’d easily prefer a kids book written by Hilton over on written by, say, Victoria Jackson—but the guy earns his living by crapping all over people (metaphorically and Photoshopically), which is sort of a hypocritical stance, in our opinion. Are we being harsh?

Jennifer Aniston Cures Perez Hilton Of His Bullying Ways

Looks like Hollywood has Jennifer Aniston to thank for a marked decrease in photos defaced by fake splooge or stick-figure fetuses. According to her new interview on Ellen, Jennifer Aniston stopped Perez Hilton‘s bullying ways. “I ran into Perez Hilton in a garage. I had finished dinner with a girlfriend and we were driving out and I saw this tall, long, lean person and I say, ‘Who is that?’ And she says, ‘I think that’s Perez Hilton.’ I said, ‘No. I have to say something to him. I have to’,” the Just Go With It star explained. We can’t imagine what we’d do if we saw an enraged Jennifer Aniston sprinting towards us, but we imagine our first instinct would be to run out into traffic.

Says Jen, “It was a lovely meeting and I was just like, ‘Why are you so mean?’ There’s something really great about putting a human being in front of another human being and then the reality that those words, even if it’s for humor or effect or whatever, there’s a human being behind all of that…And he’s kept it up too which is good.” Perez credits his encounter with Aniston with helping him cut out the cruelty on his site, according to a different interview with Ellen DeGeneres this past October. “I still want to be sassy and critical, but I can do it without being mean or nasty,” Hilton explained. While Perez was surprised Aniston talked about their meeting, he agreed it was important to both of them. “I had not talked about meeting Jennifer Aniston out of respect for her and respect for the situation. It was actually a very powerful moment, I think for both of us,” he admits. Looks like Jen has a lot more parking garages to visit before she wipes meanness off the face of the planet. It’s too bad we don’t drive…

Perez Hilton Tries To Out-Gaga Gaga, Fails

perez_hilton_main

Perez Hilton tried to show up flamboyant fashioninista Lady Gaga when he unveiled her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Los Angeles last night. But try as he might, Perez’s Cheshire Cat look was no match for faux-Gaga’s lace and fineness. The blogger then proceeded to grope the life-sized candle, the last of eight wax Lady Gaga statues unveiled at Madame Tussauds’ around the world yesterday. “I think they saved the best for last,” he gushed to MTV News. “It’s creepy that it’s so real. I kept waiting for her to blink, but she didn’t. It’s very accurate. I know that Gaga would be very honored.” But how would she feel about it being presented by a wild-eyed dude in a massive onesie? Now that we think about it, we bet she’d approve. Props, Perez!

Miley Cyrus Shows Her (Leopard Print) Support For Perez

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus wouldn’t say anything about Perez’s upskirt shot to the paps earlier today, but we get the feeling she isn’t too bothered by her former Twitter pal’s randy ways—if the former Hannah Montana was concerned about us seeing her underwear, she probably wear a leopard-print bra under a white tank top, would she? Everyone’s favorite underage exhibitionist sported this tasteful look as she headed to a hair salon in NYC, Starbucks and iPad in hand. See more of the starlet in the gallery below…if you dare.

Perez Hilton In Trouble For Posting Inappropriate Shot Of Miley

60682639

Generally, Perez Hilton pushes the boundaries of taste with his penis illustrations and Photoshopped dabs of coke that he so lovingly adds pictures of celebs on his blog. Rarely do his posts register as criminal activity though – except for one. Yesterday, Hilton posted an upskirt photo of Miley Cyrus on his Twitter page in which Cyrus was not wearing underwear and he’s finding himself in some serious hot water. That’s due to the fact that Miley, at 17, is underage and the photo is considered child pornography. (Not that it wouldn’t be in bad taste regardless of her age.)

He Tweeted “If you are easily offended, do NOT click here … Oh, Miley! Warning: truly not for the easily offended!” but quickly took the post down after realizing his boneheaded mistake. Jeffrey Douglas, an attorney commenting on the situation, told Salon.com that the penalty for distributing child porn online is harsh, saying “he could be prosecuted on the state or federal level — or both — with a conviction potentially resulting in a 15 year sentence and lifetime registration as a sex offender.” Yikes. This would certainly make an example of Hilton if he’s punished.

UPDATE: Perez Hilton has responded to the photo issue on his blog and his Twitter page by calling the whole thing a non-troversy. Hilton says that he only posted the photo of Miley, in which he says she is clearly wearing underpants, as a lesson to the starlet about exiting a car in a more ladylike fashion. “Do you think Miley is that stupid to be out in public without panties? Do you think I’m stupid enough to post a photo of Miley if she’s not wearing any underwear down there? Sure I like to be controversial but I don’t want to go to jail,” he said in a video posted to his blog. So then yanking the photo down was all just a part of a ploy for media attention? We guess? Job well done, Perez. Job well done.

Star Celebrates “Young Hollywood”: Who Would You Least Want To Party With?

Tabloid parties always bring out the strangest crop of celebs—these are folks who actually want to be associated with the mag—and Star‘s celebration of “Young Hollywood” at Voyeur last night was no exception. Lindsay Lohan hit the party before her father-fueled Twitter freak-out, joined by such promising young stars as The HillsStephanie Pratt, future Twilight-teer Boo Boo Stewart (love the funny t-shirts, champ), Phoebe Price and Jenna Dewan, as well as admirers of youth like Perez Hilton, Bai Ling, Jonathan Schaech and Brittany Murphy‘s shady widower Simon Monjack. Just the support Young Hollywood needs!

Check out the gallery and let us know which club rat you’d least like to set the night on fire with in our TheFABLife poll.

Perez Hilton’s Birthday Is Star-Studded (And Photoshop Free)

60039087

So here’s something we can’t figure out. Why on earth would celebrities want to attend the birthday party of the most famous celebrity underminer of all time? Perez Hilton celebrated his 32nd birthday this past weekend and, while we fully expected that there would be waxed boys in hotpants (see above) in attendance, we never really thought about just how many actual stars would want to go.

We have two theories about this. One, that Perez actually has Hollywood by the balls to the point where these people feel like if they don’t act nice to him, he will work his Photoshopped penis magic on them daily and thus, they live in fear of him. The second is that these people actually thrive on what he does. Just look at the pics of Lindsay Lohan palling around with him. Does everyone in L.A. have such twisted views of what constitutes a healthy relationship that they don’t mind him? (Well, In Lindsay’s case, she has no frame of reference for healthy relationships, but still.) Mostly, we’re just wondering why on earth our favorite diva of all time, Liza Minelli, is there. Maybe she got vertigo and got all turned around on her way to Fred Segal. [Photos: Getty Images]
