Perez Hilton Wears Racially-Charged Afro Wig To Canadian Music Awards Show. Has He Finally Gone Too Far?


Hollywood gossip queen and celebrity Lean Pockets spokesman Perez Hilton shocked Canadians last night when he appeared on the red carpet of the “Much Music Video Awards” (like the Grammys but for Canada) in a black person’s afro wig.

The afro has long been considered a form of political speech dating back to the 1960’s during the African-American Civil Rights Movement, but lately white celebrities (LMFAO, Cher, Richard Simmons) have been showing up to events wearing afro wigs “ironically,” which is offensive.


Last month, Perez Hilton wore a similar afro wig in a vaguely incestuous music video that featured “Momma Perez” groping her son’s buttocks while he danced in the nude. And that was following another red carpet event in which the formerly obese blogger attempted to eat a child. Was Perez Hilton trying to make a statement on race relations in Canada last night, or is this just the latest in a string of bizarre appearances? Has Perez Hilton finally gone too far, even for a blogger?

  1. I didn’t like it when Cher did it and i don’t like it now. I, Also don’t believe i need to state whether i am an AF-AM or not to be offended.

  2. Okay I know this is sarcastic outrage your Zachness
    But just in case folks aren’t aware LMFAO is made up of Stefan Kendal Gordy and Skyler Austen Gordy.
    They are the son and grandson respectively of Berry Gordy.
    My main complaint is that wig is PITIFUL (not that it might be offensively appropriating anything)
    If you’re going to that much effort to draw attention to yourself and you have STYLISTS and you still look a hot mess, that’s just sad.

  3. Is anyone really surprised????? This guy is so desperate for attention, he will do anything to court press. I hate to be the voice of reason here, but Perez gurl stick to what you are good at, writing your blog. Nobody but twelve year old tween girls and their want to be hip so bad mommas support you or your quest for fame. The next time you pull a stunt gurl, make it a good/jiucy sex tape, like all the rest of the famewhore hungry celebs! Cris Crocker this advice goes for you too pretty lady, not a over-produced professional studio filmed porno, but the oh I filmed this with my ex-boyfriend and it was suppose to be private kind!

  4. Slow news day huh?..He looks like an uglier version of Marsha Brady..referring to that infamous Brady Bunch episode..LoL

    1. Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!
      That was JAN BRADY.

      Happy Birthday my favorite gossip queen bitch, Michael K. He’s like a hot steel blade cutting through celebrity butter.

  5. Unfunny. Desperate. Untalented. Shrill. Odd looking. But, big in Canada? Shit, and I made plans to move there when Romney gets elected.

  6. I think the only person who even cares about this is you Zach. And you had to bring race in this. I’m a black man and I don’t find this offensive, even though I think Perez Hilton looks disgusting. Is it just me that thinks that he looks uglier skinny?

    Also, Zach, you include LMFAO in your list of white celebrities. I don’t know their exact mix of racial, but they are the offsprings of Barry Gordy, the black music mogul who created Motown Records… so LMFAO are partly black.

  7. I think people are just being overly sensitive on that we have become too politically correct in our society.
    Seems the same way with the Adidas shoes.

  8. Really?!?! Wearing an afro wig is racist?!?! So a black person wearing a blond wig is not?! WTF is wrong with you?! You are a fucking racist

    1. I agree (though not as strongly). As an African American, I’m not sure that a white person wearing an afro is racist. It’s a hair style: think Jew fro (sorry for being politically incorrect), or as suggested, a black person wearing a blond wig.

      Overall, hair is only part of the equation. Demeanor, clothing, setting, location, and all other context has an equal weight in the equation. Generally speaking, a wig doesn’t make someone racist.

      1. Haha Jew fro! As a Jew myself who had a Jew fro growing up, I got it chemically relaxed…I must be racist too! I mean for fucks sake people, stop being so fucking sensitive! Stop concentrating on race! In 2012, pulling out the race card is pathetic. It’s a wig! Who doesn’t wear them these days? If people weren’t so judgmental & negative maybe the world would be a better place. Just sayin…
