Despite being sued for $7.5 million by a Hollywood photo agency for copyright infringement, gossip blogger Perez Hilton still got some love from a paparazzo in the form of some sort of jewelry on Monday.
The Gossip Gangsta was leaving a West Hollywood event when the photog approached Perez with his "message of love" and thanked him for publicizing his industry.

1. I for one do not like this self-proclaimed "Gossip Gangsta". He's a MORON. I have no idea why he gets praise for OTHER people's work, LOSER.

3. Who cares about this dude? Did anyone actually watch that clip? TMZ, no one cares about this fat dude. Stick to celebs please.

4. I absolutely adore Perez Hilton. I support him and his decisions to steal people's photos. Keep doing it, and i'll keep reading it.
he IS the gossip gangsta, and he's damn good at it too.

5. Anyone else starting to think that TMZ and this dude have some sort of relationship going on?
Harvey Levin is already chummy with that sleazebag who produces those Girls Gone Wild movies. He would never write a bad thing about him.
I am starting to think the same thing is going on here.

6. PEREZ is nothing more than a media and celebrity gossiping whore!
He feeds off of any celebrities unfortunate mishaps in life and does not care what or how it effects them along the way. It's sad when people like PEREZ disrupts a life or marriage just to gain bullsh*t readings off his website.
Perez is a dick head and no one likes dickheads

13. Ever been to his site? Perez's "gossip" is all about himself. In the few pictures that don't feature him, all he does is draw dots from people's noses, over and over again. Funny, no not really. He's a self-absorbed ass, and I'm glad he got sued.

14. What lawsuit? Perez stoled pics from photoags and got busted. Thief. End of story.
His "for the sake of other blogers" defense is crap. He took photos that didn't
belong to him and made money from them. I won't even go into his defacing someones "art". He just steals. For example, he napped a pics from People.com (who are alienged w/X17online.com) and credited People.com for the photo credit and not X17 - People.com credited X17. People.com "bought" that photo from x17. Did People.com give Perez permission? Did X17 allow People to pimp out it's pics? -- My guess NO. Perez stoled them.
The other websites who use these pics pay (or link back) to the owner - Perez doesn't - THIEF. He makes money from these stolen pics. He boasts of the number of web hits he gets and even thanks us. Perez is just a copycaty or the origianal gossip king - "the smokling Gun " . They were the snarky first. Perez is just another copycat with D-List connections.
The stalkers - yes you too TMZ - claim that they are justified in harassing celebs & reality TV people because they are public figures. You shou be pissed that Perez is stealing your stuff.
Bottem line - Perez - is not fighting for bloggers (that is funny).. Other sites are allowed to use X17online.com pics (and others) They are not being sued. Loser Perez is. He for some reason thought he was too big and well - will lose - 7.6 million. Bottom line - don't steal.
