Perez Hilton is easily the most recognizable name - and face - in the world of celebrity blogging. He announced yesterday that he would soon release a children's book; Hilton's site receives more than 200 million hits per month, which begs the question why switch media when he has such a choke hold on the online world?
Readers, if you recall, Perez Hilton used to tout his site as "the most hated," because he often drew inappropriate images over celebrities' faces and created hateful nicknames for them (i.e, - "Maniston").
After taking a staunch opposition to bullying last year in the wake of numerous suicides by the victims of bullying, Perez confessed to taking a long look in the mirror after being called a hypocrite - how could he be anti-bullying when he was arguably the biggest bully on the web?
The blogger took to his site to offer up a sincere apology in the form of a video and vowed to change his ways. And from the looks of it, he has kept true to that promise. His book touches on similar themes of isolation, accepting differences, and promotes tolerance.
His book, The Boy With Pink Hair, according to the press release, is "the story of a child born with a shock of fabulous hair that sets him apart from his peers. While some find this difference hard to accept or understand, THE BOY WITH PINK HAIR uses the opportunity to find what makes him special and share it with the world."
The Boy With Pink Hair is due out September of this year.
Readers, will you buy the blogger's book? Do you believe he has changed his ways for the better?
