It’s posted on everyone’s Facebook wall, it’s been retweeted by a lot of celebrities and it’s even talked about on the six o’clock news.

Jonah Mowry is a 14-year-old gay student living in California. He made a video back in August, writing down all his feeling about being bullies in school while Sia’s “Breathe Me” plays in the background. Some of the notes he wrote down include “I’ve cut…a lot. I have scars. Suicide was an option…many times.”

Four months later, people are taking more notice of the video. A second video was posted earlier this week showing the teen in a happier state of mind, and therefore everyone was quick to assume Jonah was acting in his first video.

“I’m disappointed that somebody could look at the first video and then look at the second and think it’s a lie,” his mom, Peggy Sue Mowry told ABC News.

She says her son has gotten a lot of online support. Ricky Martin and Perez Hilton were really affected by his video.

Jonah being brave enough to talk about homophobia and teen bullying really sets the bar for schools to initiative in dealing with these issues. This past year, there have been reports of suicides and even murders of gay teens. Jonah is simply helping everyone begin that conversation so that young kids don’t go to school feeling like they want to die.

If you haven’t seen this honest and heart-wrenching video yet, please do. Don’t be afraid to share it with your friends. You never know whose life you’ll change.

To the dismay of thousands of teenage girls around the world, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have brought their relationship out of the closet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Right, because no one knew they were dating before this.

The two arrived at the Sunset Tower together with their arms around each other, Gomez admittedly a vision in red Dolce & Gabbana piece. Justin even matched his outfit with his girlfriend, adding a little flare of red in the form of a handkerchief in the pocket of his D&G black suit. If that doesn’t say couple, I don’t know what will!

“They were feeding each other with their forks and they definitely kissed. It was obvious they are totally enamored with one another and that the feelings are mutual either way,” a source told Perez Hilton.

If that isn’t enough, the two were seen together yesterday for the Biebs’ birthday. According to E! Online, the duo hit up Beverly Hills boutiques, visiting Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana – apparently the two can’t get enough Dolce! And it seems like it’s true love for this couple; they stopped a number of times to give each other a hug, and as usual, the paparazzi were not too far behind and documented every one. Oh pap, we know we can always count on you to get our daily dose of the Biebs!

But as usual, Gomez wasn’t the only girl on Bieber’s mind! Relax, it’s not Kim Kardashian or Beyonce this time – the other woman in his life is none other than his grandmother! On his birthday, the “Baby” singer tweeted, “great bday. flew in grandma and got my cake. hung out with friends. got surprised. and you all helped #makeachange with @charitywater.”

Way to make girls swoon over you even more by getting them to make mommy and daddy donate money to charity, Justin!

Although the singer just turned 17, I’m sure lots of girls are waiting for the magic 18…I know Kim is!

Perez Hilton at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards

Perez Hilton has one of the most visited celebrity gossip websites in the world. Perezhilton.com has been built on unflattering rumours and comments about celebs, but now Perez is changing the tone of his website.

In an upcoming interview with Ellen Degeneres, the blogger explains that the recent suicides of young gay men and his passion for fighting anti-gay bullying has changed his approach. Basically he wants everyone to play nice.

“Over the last two weeks I have been doing everything I can to bring awareness to the teen suicides and gay bullying,” Hilton tellsDeGeneres. “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.”

California beauty Queen Carrie Prejean is taking the plunge and will be marrying Oakland Raiders quarterback Kyle Boller.

TMZ has learned the couple will say their vows on Friday at the Grand Del Mar Hotel in San Diego.

Prejean received major media attention in 2009 when she answered a question by Perez Hilton during the Miss USA Pageant. When asked by Perez about her views on same sex marriage, she did not feel same sex marriage should be made legal.

After this event, a major media storm was created by gay activists, Carrie Prejean, and the Miss USA Pageant.

Perez Hilton visited The Joy Behar Show on Thursday in a further attempt to clear his name, reports MTV News.

The internet blew up after Perez tweeted a link to an image of Miley exiting a car while appearing to not have any underwear on.  The gossip blogger was flooded with accusations of posting child pornography, prompting him to remove the link.

Perez on seems to think that the whole situation is an exaggeration, saying Miley definitely was wearing underwear and blaming the response he received on America’s “very dirty imagination.”

“I feel like if everyone saw this image in question, they would clearly see that you’re not seeing anything down there that you’re not supposed to,” says Hilton.  “It’s definitely not child pornography, and it’s definitely not illegal.”

Perez says that he only posted a link to the image because he wanted to show everyone Miley’s “shocking behaviour of late,” and saying, “The point of me choosing that one photo is because it was showing Miley getting out of the car in an unladylike fashion.”

Even though Perez says that posting the photo was “not actually doing anything worse than Miley herself has been doing recently,” he took the link down.

Perez Hilton, we’re hoping you’re not right about one.

The Hollywood blogger is reporting that former Presidential candidate Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have announced that they are separating.

The Inconvenient Truth star and his wife apparently sent out an e-mail that says:

“We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate. This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

They have been together for 40 years.

First off, let’s get one thing out of the way: of all people to impersonate, he chose Jon Gosselin.

Need we say more?

The Atlantic City man who has been impersonating reality TV star Jon Gosselin is reportedly a stalker, according to an “insider” quoted by Perez Hilton. The impersonator also apparently believes he actually is Gosselin.

He has been reported to police to have stalked several women.

Hilton’s insider had these things to say:

“I’ve reported this guy to the police. He has been stalking certain girls and it’s got to stop.

“I’m scared he’s going to do something bad. I mean, this guy obviously isn’t in his right mind. He looks nothing like Jon Gosselin, apart from the Ed Hardy T-shirts he wears, yet he insists that’s who he is. I think he’s even a different race.

“I know of one girl who he has sent literally thousands of text messages to. They all come through from ‘Jon Gosselin’ and they are all begging her to go out with him.

“He says crazy things like, ‘I know I have 8 kids but I have money and a lot of love to give’. This guy is seriously, seriously unbalanced.”

The insider also said that the Gosselin impersonator claims to be good friends with Hulk Hogan, and has apparently been showing off messages on his phone that he says are from Hogan.

The impersonator is also rumoured to have a lot of money – something which the real Jon Gosselin apparently does not.

Hilton’s insider continued:

“I think he must have money because he was offering up box seats when the Super Bowl was on, and said to girls he would pick them up in his limo. He also claims to have a private jet, whether that’s true or not I don’t know.

“The funny thing is that from what I know the real Jon Gosselin hasn’t got much money at all, so I don’t know why the fake one is pretending he does.

“There’s one rumor that’s going around that this guy is actually a dentist from New York City. I would just like to get to the bottom of it and find out who on earth he really is.”

Perez Hilton at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards

Perez Hilton has dropped the assault charge that he filed against Black Eyed Peas’ manager Polo Molina, according to NME.com.

Molina was accused of punching Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, outside a Toronto nightclub at a MuchMusic Video Awards after party in June, after the celebrity blogger allegedly made a homophobic comment about Black Eyed Peas member Will.I.Am.

But the assault charge against Molina was dropped after he issued a written apology to Hilton.

Molina has also agreed not to contact Hilton except through his lawyer, not to carry a weapon for 12 months, not to come within 100 metres of the nightclub where the incident allegedly took place, and to donate $500 to Toronto’s Red Door Family Shelter.

Molina’s lawyer read the apology outside court, saying, “I apologize for what I did on June 22 of 2009. Even though you [Hilton] engaged in highly offensive comments, including a homophobic slur to my clients, I acknowledge that these kinds of issues should not be resolved through a physical response.”

Hilton’s lawyers have said that they are unhappy with the choice of words in the apology, but it was ultimately accepted.

“Although accepting the fact that he shouldn’t resort to violence, he attempted to say that there was a precipitating cause,” said Hilton’s lawyer, Brian Greenspan. “A sincere apology is a sincere apology.”

Following the alleged incident, Hilton filed a lawsuit suggesting battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress and sought unspecified damages totalling $25,000.

Everyone’s favourite geek is back, and he’s spilling the Bayside beans. However, not everyone is jumping for scandalous joy.

Perez Hilton recently blogged that Dustin Diamond (better known as Samuel “Screech” Powers on the 90′s TV sitcom hit “Saved By the Bell”) has less juice to squeeze out than a marshmallow. Hilton feels Diamond’s tell-all book entitled, “Behind the Bell” is less of a get-up and more of a let-down.

According to recent releases from the book, Diamond claims he could smell a “certain smoke” coming from the other cast members’ dressing rooms. He also claims that Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played every pre-teen girl’s crush Zack Morris, used steroids before filming “Saved By the Bell: The College Years.”

Diamond writes, speaking about Gosselaar, ”He suddenly exploded with manliness, loading 25 pounds of muscle on his once-scrawny frame in, oh, about a month.”

But as Hilton says on his blog, by the time “The College Years” started filming in 1994 Gosselaar was 20, and a lot of guys bulk up around that age. And, in comparison to Diamond, who WOULDN’T look bulky?

Diamond is also apparently suggesting that there was a lot of chemistry off-camera between the cast members: “If Kelly [Tiffany Thiessen] was interested in Slater [Mario Lopez] one week, then backstage there was a lot going between them in Mario [Lopez]‘s room. Then, if Jessie [Elizabeth Berkley] kisses Zack [Mark-Paul Gosselaar], then you know Elizabeth Berkley is going in Mark-Paul’s room.”

Hilton deems these accusations to be “lame lame lame.”

“Behind the Bell,” which Gotham Books preempted from Objective Entertainment’s Jarred Weisfeld, has promised to detail “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying,” according to New York Magazine, and does not currently have a release date.

Diamond, who suffered a sex tape scandal back in 2006 in which he romps with two women, hasn’t had much of a career since “Saved By the Bell” ended in 1997.

So – is the book a true deep-dish or just a way to get Diamond back in the spotlight? Only the Bell will tell.

Perez Hilton at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards

After an alleged altercation involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Will.I.Am and his manager, Hilton has released Twitter responses, written statements and a video regarding what happened. And according to a report from “Access Hollywood,” Hilton plans on suing those involved in the incident.

“All persons responsible for this cowardly act of physical violence will be sued and held legally responsible for their actions,” said Hilton’s attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, in a statement. “His First Amendment rights will not be infringed upon through fear, intimidation or violence.”

The blogger was said to suffer a cut below his eye during an altercation between him and Black Eyed Peas manager Liborio “Polo” Molina.

Hilton’s lawyer stated they “are conducting a legal investigation as to whether Will.I.Am encouraged and/or instructed Molina to engage in this physical assault.”

Toronto Police have charged the BEP manager with assault and the 36-year-old must return the city’s Old City Hall Courthouse on August 5 to answer to the charge.

Below is footage with Perez from Sunday night prior to the incident where he discusses the experience behind the scenes at the MuchMusic Video Awards and the way celebrities act around him.

Sunday night’s Miss USA competition has everyone talking, including celebrities like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus.

During the beauty pageant, blogger Perez Hilton asked Miss California (Carrie Prejean) if more states should legalize same-sex marriage, to which she responded that marriage “should be between a man and a woman.”

Many celebrities are reacting to Prejean’s statement and have taken to Twitter to state their opinions. “Love is Love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy!” read a Tweet by Britney Spears to Perez Hilton.

“Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus also responded to a Tweet from Hilton telling him, “Jesus loves you and your partner and wants you to know how much he cares! That’s like a daddy not loving his lil boy cuz he’s gay and that is wrong and very sad! Like I said everyone deserves to be happy.”

“The Hills’ ” Heidi Montag seems to agree with Cyrus. “God says in the bible that we should love our neighbor and he created us all as equals,” read a Tweet from Montag. “I know in my heart that gays and lesbians should have the same government rights that Spencer and I will when we get married”.
