The Perez Hilton Podcast W/ Chris Booker: The Gossip Mongers

People dispensing gossip to the rest of us used to be a function of the newspaper via people like Hedda Hopper or Louella Parsons. Then TV and the internet brought us Rona Barrett and in the 2000s, blogs, social media, and YouTube brought us people like Perez Hilton and the collective crudeness called TMZ. 

The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker has been around for ten years and over 500 episodes. Clearly, Hilton and Booker have been doing something right. The format is straightforward, with Hilton dispensing gossip with a childlike delight that's hard to fake. Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. was born March 23, 1978), and is known professionally as Perez Hilton.   His blog is known for posts covering gossip items about celebrities, and for posting tabloid photos, over which he has added his own captions or "doodles". His blog has garnered controversy for its attitude, its former practice of outing alleged closeted celebrities, and its role in the increasing coverage of celebrities in all forms of media.

Hilton has written four books, runs two YouTube channels, has appeared in various films and television shows, and has acted in two off-Broadway shows. In 2018, he was dubbed "the original celebrity social media influencer" by BroadwayWorld.

The marketing pitch for the show is: "What's hot? Perez and Chris let you know! These two pop culture experts bring you their unique perspective and insight into the trending stories of the week in the world of showbiz and beyond. Nothing is off the table! No holds barred! And these two usually disagree about everyone! It's a highly enjoyable and engaging listen!"

Hilton's co-host, Chris Booker met Perez Hilton on the Amp Radio where Booker hosted  "Morning Show on L.A. Top 40" and also appeared on Carson Daly's Show.

Booker got his big start in radio in 1989 while attending West Liberty University in Wheeling, West Virginia. In 1992, he began his self-described "gypsy years radio tour," where he held the positions of on-air personality and music director at a number of different stations as both Chris Booker and Booker Madison in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Florence, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh. In 1996, he landed the evening slot at 92.3 K-Rock in New York City, where he met the nation's top radio talk show host, Howard Stern, who made the young DJ a regular on his program. He made numerous appearances on Howard Stern's show under the name "Booger." Booker left K-Rock in 2003 for the morning drive show on the "Blink" version of WNEW. When that format failed and the show was taken off the air, Booker then worked at Sirius Satellite Radio as morning host for Octane Radio.

Booker plays a key role on the show as a voice of reason, a backstop for Hilton's wild-eyed exuberance, and a repository of sharp-witted humor, and intriguing observations. Excluding the hype, the podcast covers trending stories in the world of show business, interviews with celebrities and interesting personalities, and more. Each weekly episode runs about 35 minutes, which is a perfect length for gossiping. Any shorter and listeners think they're missing something. Any longer and the need for more gossip leads to more mean-spirited and gratuitous rumors, whispers, and canards.

Some of the recent episodes I've listened included Perez's exclusive about Jennifer Lopez canceling her tour, with Hilton sure that lackluster ticket sales, not marital discord with husband Ben Affleck, was the reason for staying home. In that episode, Booker postulated that perhaps the rumors of marital troubles were fabricated by Lopez and her P.R. team to give cover to the tour cancellation. Most of the episodes deal with social media and reality TV celebrities, such as the one that asked: "Which Real Housewives franchise might be on the chopping block?"

Of course, there is always coverage of the Kardashian clan with rumors about their latest bikini wax or some contrived feud with another family member.  Due to her global reach as a music superstar, Taylor Swift is a constant subject for the gossip microscope. 

After ten years, The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker must be doing something right. I recommend the show for gossip mongers and rumor addicts. Hilton and Booker make an excellent hosting team. The length of the episodes fits the show perfectly, and the gossip, while spicy, saucy, and sometimes slimy, doesn't possess that sludgy, harsh quality of TMZ.

Minha escandalosa e promíscua vida

EU SEMPRE ACHEI o John Mayer bem pegável, principalmente há alguns anos, e agora vem o Perez Hilton e diz que já pegou, afffe, chateado em saber, por que né, quem tão bonito e famoso como o John Mayer ficaria com o Perez Hilton, uma pessoa que não guarda segredo e que não é nada atraente, enfim, deve ser coisa do capiroto pregar esse tipo de peça na vida das pessoas, a revelação, talvez caiba melhor no plural, as revelações bombásticas do blogueiro fofoqueiro mais odiado do mundo, wow, que sucesso, heim, Perez, está no seu primeiro livro de memória lançado semana passada, ai, sempre pensei escrever minhas memórias porno-eróticas, pena que não tenho nenhum super famoso para incluir nelas, mas o fofoqueiro tem e contou que Mayer revelou que curte assistir pornô gay e na ocasião do encontro que se deu num clube onde foram após Hilton apresentar a virada do ano na MTV (2008) o cantor meteu a língua na boca do blogueiro, eca, rolou beijo na boca, e entre as confidências está também a revelação que John é fã do pornstar Brend Corrigan, fico pensando o que pensar a respeito, por que, né, é informação demais mesmo para cabecinhas mais abertas como as nossas, não é, caríssimo leitor que tem a mente e as pernas abertas, a pérola literária de Perez Hilton, cujo nome verdadeiro é Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr, tem por título: "TMI: My Life in Scandal" que numa tradução livre dá: "Informação Demais: Minha Vida Entre Escândalos", espero que seja traduzida para o português em breve, estamos todos ansiosos para ler sobre mais putarias e descaramento do mundo dos famosos, esses pervertidos que nos inspiraram a sermos tudo umas putas, falando em puta, minhas revelações seriam chochas, claro, comparadas a beijar o John Mayer e contar coisas do tipo que tal hétero curte bater punheta vendo pornô gay, mas isso me faz lembro de um vizinho que vinha assistir pornô hétero comigo e batia punheta, of course, que eu na época esperava que essas sessões de punhetas, sim, no plural, houve um vez que ele gozou umas oito vezes, acabassem com ele transando comigo, mas isso nunca aconteceu, era só na punheta mesmo, cada um batendo a sua, exatamente, eu também ficava batendo punheta pra mim, isso deixava ele mais a vontade, um dia tentei conversar a respeito e levar para o lado que ele deveria curtir mais e deixar eu chupar o pau dele, isso só serviu para esfriar a amizade, chamemos assim, de amizade, e ele sumiu por um tempo, depois voltou e eu entendi que o lance era só aquele, nada de sexo, apenas dois caras em cima da mesma cama vendo pornografia, bebendo cerveja, conversando e batendo punheta por horas seguidas, até que ele se mudou daqui do prédio, perdemos o contato, talvez se morasse aqui ainda ou tivéssemos mantido o contato estaríamos até hoje batendo punheta e vendo pornôs juntos, achava ele um cara gostoso, desses que parecem ter pegada, baixinho, mas todo saradinho, pauzudo, na época tinha uns 20 e poucos anos, o Leo, Leonardo.
