Perez Hilton was scheduled to appear on KTLA's morning show, but the gossip blogger left the studio before he could even appear.
Hilton tweeted that he wanted "an apology and an on-air correction/retraction!" after KTLA reported he had forgone his interview.
"Perez said we lied about what happened here, and he demanded a retraction...Well demand this you talentless dope, here is what really happened," KTLA anchor Sam Rubin said. Watch
"So Perez, you can take this as my deposition. We booked Perez at his request to promote his new book and appear on our show at 9:20 AM. Somehow the Perez Hilton staff -- not our staff, who he yelled at by the way -- but his staff got him here in a car he commissioned around 8:00 AM. And when Perez found out he was on at 9:20, he said he simply could not wait. Now, the available slots in our show yesterday were taken. We had somebody you might have heard of, Snoop Doog at 8:45," Rubin explained.
"We had a children's choir on right at 9 o'clock. Perez said rather than wait his rightful turn -- the other guests were here when they were supposed to be here -- he needed to work on his blog. We offered Perez the use of our entire KTLA newsroom, even my luxury office, so he could work here. Perez was adamant that that would not do. Perez said he wanted to leave and would be happy to visit us via Skype. You know what, maybe I could Skype in from my home every day, too," he continued.
You asked to be here ... do what you agreed to do and be here," the anchor admonished.
"We did not misrepresent what happened with Perez yesterday and he knows it. And guess what, KTLA morning news and yours truly have been here long before Perez Hilton upchucked his way onto the scene and we will be here long after he slithers away," he said.
Rubin told the audience that Perez's publicist asked for the gossiper to be booked again. His response? "Absolutely, when hell freezes over."
Sam gave that talentless waste of flesh some of his own medicine..Why is that pimple famous for in the first place ??? UH UH UH I AM # 1 TWO IS NOT A WINNER AND THREE NOBODY REMEMBERS...
"...Perez was adamant that that would not due." It's DO, not due. I am assuming that some sort of education was required prior to your employment with AOL...then again, maybe not.
Nice catch, Betty. This type of error is actually not atypical for AOL writers. They've pretty much discredited themselves for that reason, but also for their very biased (left-leaning) opinions & coverage. In fact, I'm not even sure why AOL is still my homepage. It came pre-loaded on my HP laptop... guess it's time for a change.
I took that to be a statement from the news reader, since it was in quotes. This time it's not AOL's fault - just another example of poor, poor skills in local "news" people.
If the quote was released verbally and AOL transcribed it, then the "due" was their error. If the quote was released in writing by KTLA and AOL copied it verbatim for the story, then it was KTLA's fault but AOL could still have caught the error and written it was "due [sic]."
I'm so happy to see someone stand up to this man! I am so sick of hearing him bad mouthing all those that do not agree with his point of view. He is just a bottom feeder. He has built his fame on gossiping about others. Bravo KTLA and Sam Rubin!
We are also sick of people like you. People who don't realize when they target groups like you did with your UNAMERICAN remarks that they are the problem! This is America! Whites can be racist and blacks can be racist. People can be Homosexual and Heterosexual. If people want to belong to a cult they can. These rights are what America is about. If you want everyone to be the same...MOVE AWAY!! GO USA!
