MuchMusic Awards Fashion Face-Off: Perez Hilton vs. Pauly D

In a suit decorated with pandas and pink hearts, and with gray hair to match, Perez Hilton made quite an appearance at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto.
To think that it was one year ago exactly that the celebrity gossip blogger got his ass whomped after the same award show in an altercation with the Black Eyed Peas.
Ah, such fond memories.
This year, Perez managed to go a whole night without catching a beating. Good thing Miley is all about love, otherwise her manager may have pummeled him too.
In any case, how does Hilton's "fashion" compare with that of Jersey Shore star DJ Pauly D, whose hair could use up a few million gallons from the BP oil spill?
Vote below, and ignore the troll on Pauly's arm ...

Hidden Messages Found In Da Vinci's Mona Lisa!

Looks like Dan Brown may have material for another Da Vinci Code book after reading about this!
Members of Italy's National Committee for Cultural Heritage have revealed that they've found letters and numbers in the Mona Lisa's eyes, which can only be seen by magnifying high resolution images of the painting.
Here's what President of the Comittee, Silvano Vinceti, had to say about it:

"To the naked [eye] the symbols are not visible but with a magnifying glass they can clearly be seen."

Pretty wild stuff! Is Robert Langdon or Nicolas Cage available to investigate?

Snooki Wants to Punch Heidi Montag

Talk about a battle of larger-than-life MTV personalities.
With Heidi Montag's show The Hills ending its run this week (with no sign of the plastic princess) and Snooki's hit Jersey Shore kicking off its second season July 29, the two ladies have somehow gotten themselves into a hilarious feud.
Asked by Perez Hilton if Jersey Shore would consider taking Heidi on, Snooki replied: "I will punch her in the face because I don't like her. She had too many surgeries. She looks like an alien and guidettes don't look like aliens, just saying."
LOL.

"Guidettes don't look like aliens." - Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi

Asked if there's a reason she hates Heidi Montag, she said: "I don't know [if she said anything about me]. I don't research Heidi because she's nothing to me."
Great stuff. Although when asked about her own pop culture relevance, the Jersey Shore star revealed her business model, which is quite to that of The Hills diva.
"I'm trying to do as much as I can right now. I have a clothing line coming out, then my hair [line] is Snook-it, [using] hairspray and a teasing comb," she said.
"My book's coming out about how I view the world."
How Heidi views Snooki is pretty unfavorable after she caught wind of the Oompa Loompa's feelings from Perez's Tweets (click here to follow THG on Twitter).
She responded: "@PerezHilton for a girl who was punched in the face I would think she of all people would know that is not a funny thing to joke about."
The 'Tag added: "@PerezHilton You have also been punched so I would think you would understand that is crossing the line and I don't think that is funny."

Oprah Drama!

And the network hasn't even launched yet!
Oprah’s new OWN network is tripling the $0.07 per month fee for cable and satellite providers that they pay for the Discovery Health network that it replaces. Many are waiting until their deals with Discovery Health expire in order to renegotiate.
The network generated $18 million in advertising revenue this year and the already existing fee would generate about $64 million annually from subscriber fees.
Wonder why they're getting so greedy.

Perez Hilton Pledges to Be Nice

Might we be seeing a new side to Perez Hilton?
Following a rash of recent suicides by gay men, most notably that of Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi, the blogger has been posing anti-bullying messages on his website. For example, check out Kim Kardashian's message HERE.

"Over the last two weeks I have been doing everything I can to bring awareness to the teen suicides and gay bullying," Hilton tells Ellen DeGeneres on an episode of that host's talk show that airs today. "In doing so, a lot of people have called me a hypocrite and a bully myself and a big one... From now on I really want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem."
Meaning what, exactly?
Perez didn't get specific, but he would need to overhaul his entire blogging style in order to make a change toward the positive.
This is a man notorious for drawing penises on photos, referring to stars by insulting nicknames (e.g. "Maniston"), trying to out other gays (he forced Neil Patrick Harris out of the closet in 2006 by asking men to report intimate stories about the actor to him) and posting inappropriate pics of underage celebs (see flap, Miley Cyrus).
