  • INTRODUCTION Hello, Bitches! Perez Hilton, the Queen of All Media, Here!
    INTRODUCTION Hello, bitches! Perez Hilton, the Queen of All Media, here! I wouldn’t be a self-proclaimed Hilton without penning a book of my own, now, would I? After all, I went through my own rite of passage and gained access to the crazy, sensational celebrity world. But I thought to myself, “Why should I have all the fun?” Like Paris, I’d like to make this world a hotter place. So this book, my friends, was writ- ten for you. In these pages, I’ll show you what it takes to reach celebrity status, and how, with a few wobbly steps and a case of Astroglide, you too can be a hilton! I don’t mean that you should be a street-corner whore (but you’re definitely getting warmer!). No, what I mean is, you can live like the rich, famous, and utterly depraved without even an ounce of talent or dignity. Tired Reid is a good example of a hilton success story. I can’t even remember the last real work she’s done. After all those horrible movies, train-wreck media appearances, and documented drunken partying, you’d think she’d be banned from Hollywood forever. But somehow she still finds her way into magazines and is even popular in Australia! How can someone who’s made suicide moves to her “career”—on the red carpet, no less—still get attention? It’s because she be- longs to the Hilton generation of Hollywood, and for these hiltons, scandalous behavior is actually not a suicide attempt at all.

Since coming out publicly in 2006, he has also spoken out on behalf of glbtq causes. Harris was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on June 15, 1973. His parents, Ron and Sheila Harris, are both lawyers, and his mother is also a writer. As a fourteen-year-old, Harris attended a drama camp at New Mexico State University, where he met writer Mark Medoff, who was working on a project that became the film Clara's Heart (1988), directed by Robert Mulligan. Soon Harris began his professional acting career with roles in Linda Shayne's Purple People Eater (1988) and Mulligan's Clara's Heart. His performance in the latter won him a Golden Globe nomination in the category of Supporting Actor. In 1989 he became the star of the television "dramedy" series Doogie Howser, M.D., which was about a precocious youngster who had become a doctor at the age of fourteen. In the opening episode, sixteen- year-old Doogie interrupted the road test for his driver's license to attend to an accident victim.

  • GOSSIP SELLS the GOODS Celebrities and the Paparazzi Are Now in the Business Plan
    GOSSIP SELLS THE GOODS Celebrities and the paparazzi are now in the business plan BY ANNE KINGSTON (MACLEAN’S AUG.4 ’08) Before last Wednesday, few people had heard of plainmary.com, a website selling posh baby gear. By week's end, the site had more than two million hits and had received orders from as far away as Dubai. Credit a tiny item in Rush & Molloy, a gossip column in the New York Daily News, that reported Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had, six weeks earlier, ordered two of its US $190monogrammed mats for their then‐ unborn twins. What made the story buzz‐worthy was the news one of the mats had been ordered for "Rex Leon," not "Knox Leon," as their latest little boy is named, suggesting a last‐minute change of mind. The source of this breaking news? That would be Andy Behrman, plainmary.com's publicist, who learned gossip fundamentals writing for New York magazine. "It's critical for a company like plain mary to have celebrity associations," he says. "I mean who gives a s‐‐t about a plain mary baby mat? But, all of a sudden, if the tush of a sainted Jolie‐Pitt is peeing on this $190 microfibre mat, that's a $10,000 mat that we'll see on eBay shortly." Behrman comes to the job having sharpened his tabloid incisors repping Petit Trésor, the celebrity‐gossip‐fuelled Los Angeles purveyor of baby paraphernalia recently hyped in People's gushing coverage of Jennifer Lopez's Versailles‐style nursery. Its two stores have become go‐to destinations for paparazzi seeking "baby bumps," and the celebrities vying for their attention.

  • The Marketing of Lady Gaga
    Ways To Be A marketing genius like 10 Lady Gaga Lady Gaga is not your average pop star. Age: Albums sold: Singles sold: Grammys: 24 15 40 2 Million Million (6 nominations) Lady Gaga (and her team) aren’t just pop geniuses, they are marketing geniuses as well. Regardless of your opinion of her music, here are 10 ways you can be a marketing genius like Gaga. 1.Have an opinion Gaga regularly speaks out on issues she feels strongly about. In doing so, she keeps herself in the public eye. Picking a side helps you attract the right people. It’s easy to be opinionated when you’re passionate. 2.Leverage social media. Gaga has worked tirelessly on accumulating over 5 million Twitter followers and 14 million Facebook fans. She drives loyalty by tweeting her fans directly (sometimes on an hourly basis) even before she opened the Grammy Awards. My little monster sweeties are already camped outside today show! I love u! Will be sending u pizza and water all day! And a suprise 2moro!X -@LadyGaga 3. Be different Differentiate wisely. There are too many normal people doing normal things. Show, don’t tell. You are extraordinary so show it. "I used to walk down the street like I was a f*cking star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth." — Lady Gaga 4.Don’t be afraid to make lots of money Finance your efforts through meaningful opportunities.

  • Paris Hilton Is Folding Laundry
    MOSCHINO dress and gloves, GEORGE KEBURIA sunglasses KEBURIA GEORGE and gloves, MOSCHINO dress It’s sometime in early 2003 or 2004 and Paris Hilton is folding laundry. Standing across from her then-best friend, Nicole Richie, in some stranger’s home in the Midwest, the duo has an argument. “You’ve never heard of a laundromat?” Paris asks, while Nicole, curled up in bed, shakes her head adamantly. “It’s where people who can’t aford a washing machine go to wash their clothes,” she responds, matter-of-factly. “I’ve seen it in movies.” Today, with the omnipresence of reality TV and franchises like The Real Housewives, Pari$ that scene wouldn’t feel too out of the ordinary. But when Paris and Nicole made their debut on FOX with The Simple Life in 2003, it wasn’t just hilarious — it was radical. The granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, by the time she was a teen, Paris quickly became a permanent fixture at early-aughts Hollywood hot spots like the Chateau Marmont and Les Deux, a regular on industry red carpets and a familiar face in the front row at every Fashion Week. Paris at the mall, Paris leaving Starbucks, Paris in London — alongside her sister, Nicky, the heiress dominated the pre-RSS fed world of media, almost single handedly keeping paparazzi (not to mention the semi-eponymously named goss site, Perez Hilton) in business. She might not have been the first to do it, but Paris certainly was the most famous for being famous, unintentionally — or intentionally, depending on who you ask — setting the stage for what’s become standard social media practice.

This year has been full of change, growth, and progress. Our call reports, chat logs, and digital services make it very clear that The Trevor Project is still urgently needed. We saw one of the largest membership increases on TrevorSpace since the program’s inception in 2008 and we watched the number of calls to the Trevor Lifeline surpass 35,000 – nearly 4,000 more than last year. We also expanded the first nationally available chat service specifically for LGBTQ youth in need of support.
