Hollywood gossip blogger downed by ISP

INTERNET GOSSIP Blogger Perez Hilton has had his infamous website shut by his ISP.

Hilton, who's real name is Mario Lavandeira, is well known throughout the industry for his gossipy bogging. He appeared at this year’s Much Music Video Awards last weekend in Toronto.

But Hilton has been accused of nicking copyrighted photos in four separate lawsuits initiated by eight different photo agencies.

Sheesh he should have doctored pictures of the Everywhere Girl. Everyone else does.

According to Variety the site’s webhost Crucial Paradigm stated that if they received another notice of copyright violation against PerezHilton.com it would take the site down.

It looks like they did this yesterday. The site is back up now.
