Perez Hilton is a thieving skid mark on the underpants of humanity. I was the first blogger to notice that Chace's image was being used - once again, Perez isn't quick enough to catch anything really good, himself, so he just steals it from other bloggers. Check the time stamp on his post as compared to mine - http://superfantasticplastic.blogspot.com/2008/...

He found my site himself and decided to rip off the story. I tipped of Trent of "Pink Is The New Blog" because I knew he gives credit to his tipsters, but I've always despised Perez... Not only does he steal from graphic designers, bloggers and photographers, he also post pictures that other people tell them they've stolen from hacked accounts - i.e., Miley Cyrus' hacked iPhone. The man is morally bankrupt.
