...by becoming a bully? I wonder if he puts any children's pics in the book, is he going to draw semen dripping from their mouths?"This story is about every kid that's ever had a dream, felt excluded, wanted to belong, and hoped that one day they could do what they loved and make a difference,"Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

Just because he writes it doesn't mean anyone will publish it. And if he gets it published doesn't mean people will buy it or read it.

I can not imagine this book being anything I would want my grandchildren to be exposed to. The man is a bully disguised as a social media reporter.

Oh, please. His core audience has got to be mostly people without children. Those that do have children have mostly grown up enough to realize what a pathetic person and bully he is and would therefore not purchase anything for their children with his name associated with it. I can't see how this is a good idea, at all. If anything he should write a book with a target of young gay teens, maybe then he would have something of substance to say and it wouldn't be aimed at children.

He'll probably self-publish it. That's the way to go these days anyway.

IMHO when people who buy kids' books by "celebrities" they tend to buy books by "celebrities" who have a positive public image. Perez does not fall into that category.I would have been here sooner, but the bus kept stopping for other people to get on it. - Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory

On the other hand, some people will buy a book written by a celebrity just because of the author, especially his/her fans.

Oh, he'll get published all right. Big celebrity = guaranteed $$$ for the publisher, even if the book is awful. (Madonna, anyone?) Originally Posted by taf2002

Is this a joke? Seriously? I thought April Fools was still a few days away.

Madonna's children's books weren't that bad - my kids borrowed them from the Library and liked them a lot. I read the first one and it was okay. Originally Posted by LilJen

I think this thread would be fun if we could some up with some potential Perez kid's book titles. Like "Charlie and the Magic Fairy Dust".

Perez does have followers, and some of those followers have kids. Originally Posted by overedge

IMO, not at ALL a good analogy to compare icon, record-making, award-winning actress/singer, entrepreneur, businesswoman, philanthropist--and mother--Madonna with Perez Hilton!! Originally Posted by orbitz

Madonna actually has some talent and skill. She is not primarily famous for being a gossip and writing rude captions on pictures. Originally Posted by orbitz

At least Ron Jeremy made himself famous, or a specific part of him made him famous. Perez only got famous for using other people and being a bully. I want someone to punch him in the face again, that was really fun.

I don't want to live in a world that doesn't offer a Ron Jeremy pop-up book.
