Perez's site was shut down for using other sites images, copyright violations. It's not the first time he has been in trouble for this. He had to issue a public apology to one site a few months back. I believe there is a lawsuit in place now. Not sure how quick that will play out.

I expect we'll see more shutdowns like that in the future. There are bots searching the net for text that has been cut and paste already.

All website owners should be familiar with Fair Use

I went and checked the site out. I couldn't believe this comment! Holy cow.

On Monday, we had a jaw-dropping 8.82 million page views in 24 hours, according to Sitemeter and Blogads.

Sorry, I missed this... Perez is a celebrity-gossip-blogger. I think he's funny, in an evil kind of way!

I like his website too! I read it a few times a day if I'm being completely honest! Yes, I know he can be evil sometimes, but I still enjoy it.

I get the RSS Feed from his site, so I can check his website without really going there. He always puts ummm, interesting titles into his headlines though, and that usually gets me to go over there and see what's up lol.

Ok I'll admit I watched that show with Victoria Beckham. In the episode she goes to the coffee shop where he "works" and sits down with him and chats. It was pretty funny since he could not possibly be mean to her in person. He promised to be nicer to her. Yeah right!!

Yeah - she asked him right to his face all the names that he's called her! I did cringe when I saw something he'd done this week to a photo of her oldest son :(. Perez should know better.
