First socialite Khloe Kardashian blogged about it. Now it’s socialite-slayer Perez Hilton’s turn. The gossip blogging, oftentimes-most-hated-man-in-Hollywood took a philanthropic turn this morning and dedicated a post to THON:
He didn’t tweet about it (too busy chatting it up with celebs), but for those who judge online importance on number of followers, Perez has 1,772,406 (and growing) followers to Khloe’s 923,263 (and growing).
And his bubblegum-colored, acidic blog ranks in at 177 for most-trafficked sites in the U.S., according to Alexa.com.
