출판사 설명
"Delicious memoir. . . . catnip for Hollywood gossip hounds." —Publishers Weekly
The story of how Mario Lavandeira becomes Perez Hilton, the world's first and biggest celebrity blogger, with millions of readers around the globe.
With Perez's help, many promising young artists reached the masses—Katy Perry, Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Lady Gaga, to name a few. Soon Perez was a Hollywood insider, but after a dramatic fallout with Lady Gaga, his blog became increasingly mean.
When people called him a bully and a hypocrite for outing gay celebrities, Perez was forced to reevaluate not only his alter ego, but also himself.
TMI reveals the man behind the blog in a new, revealing, and still juicy memoir.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Celebrity blogger Hilton (Red Carpet Suicide: A Survival Guide on Keeping Up with the Hiltons) recounts his exploits and surprisingly self-aware regrets in this delicious memoir. Growing up gay in 1980s and '90s Miami, Cuban-American Hilton ("back then," he reveals "my name was Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr.") was taunted for his weight and sent to a therapist to "make sure I wasn't gay." But he got the last laugh by toggling between New York City ("a mecca for gay men") and L.A., where he started a red-hot gossip blog. No one was exempt from his snarky repartee as he climbed the fame ladder something he claims he now regrets, along with other "self-destructive, impulsive" behavior such as selling not-yet-released books online, running up credit card debt and declaring bankruptcy, and alienating Kim Kardashian. Hanging out with the likes of Paris Hilton, Amanda Bynes, Amy Winehouse, and Lady Gaga, Hilton mercilessly spread insider secrets, including the time when John Mayer put his tongue in the author's mouth. Hilton also waxes poetic (and rather touchingly) about his three children, conceived via surrogate, and how they've softened his world view. This is catnip for Hollywood gossip hounds.
