Perez Hilton Is Starting His Own Record Label

Yep, you read that correctly, celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton is starting his own record label. Crazy!

I guess we all knew this was coming, right? The man has already infiltrated the gossip and celebrity world, along with a clothing line and a book. So it’s only fitting that he should invade other areas as well.

Perez says, “I have an ear, which is really important in the music world — to be able to hear a hit and to be able to know who has a good song or not…I’m more than just an A&R person. I’m also a marketing person. I’m also a manager.”

He’s set to launch his own imprint with Warner Brothers and should have his first act signed by the end of this month. When speaking about Lady Gaga, he acts like he discovered her. He adds, “I saw the potential in her from the very beginning before anyone else.”

I actually saw it in her, as well. I interviewed her before she got super famous. So maybe I should have a record label, too?
