For once, Perez Hilton blogged something that everyone can agree with: “We are still in shock.” Hilton, a celebrity blogger and gay activist known for outlandish statements, is on the Emmy ballot after being nominated by Oxygen in the Best Host of a Reality Competition category for hosting the “The Bad Girls Club” season three reunion.
In truth, it’s easy to see why Hilton would excel hosting a show as trashy and frivolus as “The Bad Girls Club.” It’s a reality show in which seven self described “bad girls” live together in a mansion. Season three was described as taking, “bad behavior to the next level with a cast of young women who are independent, spirited, and endlessly entertaining.” After the final episode, all of the girls were brought back together for a reunion hosted by Hilton, which was basically a set up for the girls to attack each other with Hilton supposedly moderating.
Hilton eloquently stated, “I can’t believe you b**** made it on tv.” He later told one of the bad girls, “You’ve got nice tits.” Meanwhile, the bad girls attack each other, calling each other “b****.” At one point the subheading even reads, “Who’s the blackest girl in the house?” as two of the girls threw insults back at each other so full of “bleeps” that it was difficult to distinguish what exactly they were saying.
That doesn’t sound like quality television worth receiving an Emmy nomination. But even if “The Bad Girls Club” had been of a higher caliber, Hilton’s past actions should have made Oxygen think twice about nominating him for an Emmy. On NBC’s “Today,” he used the interview as an opportunity to tell conservative author Ann Coulter, “Ann Coulter, if you’re watching, bite me!”
He called Miss California Carrie Prejean a “dumb b****” after she stood up for her beliefs against same-sex marriage. But, in his defense, he really wanted to call her a “c***” so at least he refrained from that. (See above video.) Even Hilton’s response to his nomination couldn’t be without profanity. “Holy sh**balls.” Classy.
Is this really the best of television? Let’s just hope that’s one acceptance speech we don’t have to hear.

He's a bitter gay man
June 10, 2009 - 13:11 ET by Lord ErondHe's a militant bitter gay man. Why are we wasting ink, energy and breath on this waste of protoplasm? If we were to talk about reducing CO2 emissions, the first place I would start with would be to suture this idiot's mouth shut.

Rewards
June 10, 2009 - 13:26 ET by NorthCoasterThe rewards of bad behavior are evident in this nomination. Truly a shame to prop up this poor excuse for a pundit.
I hope he wins.
June 10, 2009 - 13:35 ET by Kingfish17The more looney toons who win Academy Awards and Emmy Awards the better. Maybe more and more people with an ounce of sense will put these awards shows on permanent ignore. I've gone a step further and typically will pass on any movie that is even nominated for "Best Picture". So I guess these awards do serve some purpose.

June 10, 2009 - 13:35 ET by balboaPerez Hilton is a slimeball.
It is important to note, however, that this is not a nomination. His name is on the ballot, that's all. More a PR move by Oxygen than anything else. What else is on the Emmy ballot? "According to Jim," "Rules of Engagement," "Ghost Whisperer," "Real World: Brooklyn," "The Rachel Zoe Project."
Mis california USA is fired.
June 10, 2009 - 14:08 ET by sevenShe is fortunate. I have no problem with her termination. They have her booked at money making stunts.
I didn't think she was
June 10, 2009 - 14:13 ET by balboaI didn't think she was fired.
On fox today.
June 10, 2009 - 14:32 ET by sevenShe didn't make quota on appearance or some other promotional appointments. If she was Miss Iowa USA she would have all the county fairs and tractor pulls. She may hve gotten independent and decided for herself which appearances to make.
I will not blame the gays that took a stand against this waste
June 10, 2009 - 14:36 ET by pahuberof oxygen.
Some gays have made it clear that they repudiate perez and most, if not all, of his comments.
Those that don't are part of the radical gay organizations that are out there.
Donald Trump has gone from someone I was somewhat positive about to a weasel reading 'tea leaves' to guess and see which way the wind blows.
Maybe he deserves a reward
June 10, 2009 - 15:18 ET by slickwillie2001Maybe we should give him some kind of award, since he has done more to hurt the cause of gay marriage than all of the pro-Proposition 8 advertising ever did.
Perez gets an award!
June 10, 2009 - 18:32 ET by blazermaniacIt shouls be an enema award for that faggot!
This is somewhat ironic
July 1, 2009 - 01:39 ET by AlexaThis is somewhat ironic because Perez Hilton's site was originally named "pagesixsixsix" until the New York Post (which trademarked "pagesix") sued him to change it which was the best thing that ever happened to him because it distinguished his own name.
