Reichen to Perez: Back Off, B****!

Perez Hilton and ReichenReichen Lehmkuhl's latest MySpace harangue against Perez Hilton is just the beginning of what's shaping up to be a juicy Hollywood feud.

In a blog posted today by Lehmkuhl, he states that after posting his initial blog, celebrities and their "attornies" [sic] contacted him, prompting a brewing class action lawsuit against the self-proclaimed Queen of All Media, aka Mario Lavandeira.

Reichen says, "It is not clear how the lawsuit will be structured, but we are committed ... the goal of this lawsuit is to result in the stopping of your name being used in connection with untruths and gossip on the internet that obviously damage/ruin your name/reputation and lessen your ability to be successful in your profession." Well, that's clear.

Reichen is threatening to sue, after Perez posted a picture of him at the Dixie Chicks concert, claiming that Reichen's dilated pupils were because he was under the influence of crystal meth. Mr. Lance Bass claims that he had seen a Laser Eye surgeon in West Los Angeles that day, causing his eyes to dilate. He also takes issue with Perez linking him to men other than Bass, saying that they must be "PAID for by Mr. Levandeira (sic)." This threat of legal action adds to Perez's legal woes, he's currently being sued for $7.5 million by a photo agency for using their photos without authorization.

For his part, Perez shoots back, "Now that he can't comfortably ride Lance Bass' coattails, this is Reichen's latest transparent attempt to get publicity for himself. I applaud him. Reichen's almost as big a media whore as I am!"

Ooh snap!

16. Reichen wants his to drag out his 15 minutes.

17. When this class-action lawsuit is made, I suggest all Perez fans (the 4 million that visit his website daily - I'm sure Reichen makes up for about a third of those hits), anyways the fans should boycott the "celebrities" on the list - their movies, music, books etc and all advertisers linked to these "celebrities".
This lawsuit threat not only threatens PerezHilton.com but all other celebrity blogs - including TMZ.
Besides Reichen isnt even a celebrity - he's the ex-ho of Lance, nothing more!
Hey Reichen, your fifteen minutes is counting down....

18. Dang...they had pics of Reichen hitting up two guys, making out with one, and leaving with the other...and witnesses. So..how does that play out in court? And what is this lame "I went to the eye doctor that day" pupil dilation thing? It sounds like Lane Garrison's lawyer saying someone must have "put something in lance's drink" at the party. That dude's pupils were like dinner plates...and the eyes are supposed to be sensitive to light..which of course explains the media whores desire to jump in front of the camera with Lance again.

stop showing this slag...he's gross.

19. The lawsuit does not threaten any freedoms of speech or press . It just states that perez uses copyrighted material without either paying for it or giving props' to the creator of the material . This is a simple copyright suit and Idiot perez either is to egotistical to correct it or he needs the added media coverage to boost hits on his site .Perez was given many months and lots' of time to correct this but he choose not to . How many people believe he is everywhere with a camera ?? seems like alot . News is he's not and taking credit for others work . Dickhead .

20. Perez needs to stop blogging and die a painful death as soon as possible. And seriously, is that the best comeback his boring ass can come up with? Like everything revolves around his fat ass? He reminds me of myself--at 14 years old. Self-absorbed, fame-obsessed, infantile, and annoying. I hope Reichen wins, because that blog's brand of "fact" has more to do with garnering its author more personal attention than with anything resembling journalism. And that is all the time I am wasting on this.

21. I love Perez! But I also love Lance & Reichen!
I feel like I am caught up in a fight between Mom & Dad...and I just dont know what to do...This situation is hideous!!! They should all get along better...I love them all...but this drama only gets the ugly from everyone involved...sad...

22. Funny how Lance hasn't made any statements on this.......seriously Reichen---get over yourself and quit saying you haven't hooked up with anyone----do you REALLY want people to start coming out of the woodworks with dirt on you? I guarantee that once you start defending yourself as a "perfect" gay icon--people who really know you will start spilling some of your secrets. I know for a fact that you and Lance aren't monogomous. You state in your blog that you are in a relationship that works for you, which is fine, but quit lying about being faithful----because you simply haven't been. Why hasn't Lance made any statements on this???? Because he doesn't want to get dragged into something so ridiculous. Go away Reichen...please just go away.

23. All those that agree that this idiot Perez is right are all missing a few brain cells. He is nothing more than a bottom feeder and a thief.

As for you Tracy and your comment "and i think that people that want to be famous need to realize that being made fun of and talked about is part of it." Why should that be part of it, would you like it if someone decided to go around telling everyone you where taking drugs or doing things that are in no way true. that is just stupid.

They are people and deserve the same right we do and no have their name sullied by an ignorant little prick. I hope all those people that continue to have this "Perez" guy invited to their events and involved in their work are ruining their good names and working with someone that will drag them down.

24. I believe comment # 14 meant the POTENTIAL Reichen lawsuit NOT the X17 case again Perez.

25. Oh! If it isn't boys like Rosie O'Donnell and The Donald fitting, it's chicks like Perez and Mrs. LaBass, The Duchess of Reichen.

I LOVE IT!

26. Girls please! Stop fighting! Santa won't leave you anything under your trees.

27. ""damage/ruin your name/reputation and lessen your ability to be successful in your profession.""

So, it's not about him and Lance, it's about his career. Well at least he's showing his true colors now.

28. The same stuff that I say to my friends, Perez puts on his website. He makes me laugh and Tracy (response #10) is absolutely correct. Reichen is in the news becuase he WON a reality show and he was doing LANCE BASS. I never liked Reichen and his first boyfriend on Amazing Race and I see now why I dont.

29. Reichan is just trying to milk some more of what's left of his 15 min of fame! He's just been using Lance's fame to get ahead...I absolutely love PerezHilton.com & trust his info on celebrities more than other sites!

30. Hey Kit---

If you think Reichen has never done drugs then you are an idiot. I've done ecstacy with him. Just because Reichen was nice to you at the Abbey doesn't mean you know him or that he's a good person. Reichen does drugs and sleeps with people other than Lance. That is not gossip---it's FACT. I know you probably think of his as your gay iconic hero, but he's a slutty user. I promise you that.
