Perez Hilton

We don't have an exact tagline. But something like this could work: The Hollywood Gossip: Lawsuit Free and Lovin It!

Unfortunately, for blogger Perez Hilton (aka Mario Lavandeira), the same cannot be said.

A photo agency is suing the celebrity kisser-upper for copyright infringement. The company claims Perez used their images on his website "without permission from the agency, thereby violating federal law."

The plaintiff is seeking over $7.5 million dollars in damages from Perez for what they say is a loss of profits and injury to their reputation. We're seeking recognition from Hilton for scooping him on the Lindsay Lohan in AA story.

The photo agency believes their pics have played a large part in the success and profitability of Perez's website,, which reportedly charges between $9,000 and $16,000 a week for ad space.

Evidently, it costs a lot to appear next to nude Britney Spears pics or a pissed off Kimberly Stewart.

Perez told TMZ: "I have yet to be personally served with this lawsuit. My lawyers and I will address the situation when we have the opportunity to review the materials."

Give it up, Hilton. You've been served by The Hollywood Gossip for months now. Have fun shopping at Payless with Brooke Hogan.

Could The Hollywood Gossip be next?

Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger that has grown almost as famous as the spoiled stars he covers, recently received a photo spread in Who magazine.

In the interview, Perez talks about a reality show he has in the works (Lord, help us), along with his ongoign feud with Nicole Richie (which started when he said she had "zombie hands").

We don't begrudge this guy his right to earn a buck and enjoy his living, but we do take issue with two things:

1. He's friends with Paris Hilton
2. There's no news on his site! Sure, you can check out some doctored celebrity photos - but you'll rarely receive an actual scoop.

Hopefully, loyal readers, you know where to turn when you crave the latest gossip regarding Dustin Diamond sex tapes and Brangelina babies.

When you name yourself after a promiscuous waste of space celebrity, what happens when that individual breaks the law and endangers fellow motorists?

You ignore morality and defend her, of course.

So is the case of gossip-monger, attention-starved Perez Hilton.

The man (pictured with the felon, left) and his website came to the aid of Paris Hilton by backing up the drunkard's story that she only had a single margarita before being pulled over for drunk driving this week.

What Paris and close pal, Perez, fail to point out, however, is this: who cares?!? She registered a .08 blood-alcohol level, above the legal limit in California. That figure exists because it's proven that people reaching it are intoxicated and display poor reflexes/judgment while driving.

Reiterating that Hilton had a single drink proves only one thing: she's a harlot AND a light weight.

Don't get us wrong, Perez, we're all for the Firecrotch shirt and anti-Lindsay Lohan sentiment, but show an ounce of journalistic integrity please. Call out your idol when she messes up.

We'll be the first to do so if Britney Spears ever stops looking ugly.
