Anyone who’s been following Perez Hilton‘s championing of Katy Perry’s anthemic new single “Roar” (currently at the top of iTunes) over Lady Gaga‘s “Applause (which has slipped to 7th place on the same chart) is likely wondering what happened to the once very close friends. The cause of the rift remains a mystery for now, but Gaga, perhaps riled at the lack of support from the blogger who is at least partially responsible for her quick rise to superstardom, used her Twitter account to accuse Hilton of stalking her. Hilton, in turn, says Gaga’s notoriously devoted Little Monsters have sent him death threats.
Last Friday, which should be noted was Madonna‘s birthday, Gaga tweeted a message about a photo she said Hilton sent her:
Still have the text Perez sent me of me in a wheelchair w the words KARMA written across + Madonna pointing a gun at me. Day of my accident
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) August 16, 2013
Today, Gaga lobbed the heavier stalking accusation at the blogger.
Hilton, who has recently relocated to Manhattan with his adorable newborn son (No kidding — check out photos of this child!), has insisted he had no idea the entertainer lives in the building his realtor showed him until after he’d left the premises. Gaga’s fans alerted her to Hilton’s visit to the building, which caused the singer to tweet:
How about we take this to the next level?

@perezhilton STAY AWAY FROM ME + MY FAMILY YOU ARE SICK TRYING TO RENT AN APARTMENT IN MY BUILDING TO STALK ME. LEAVE ME ALONE!!! — Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) August 18, 2013
Read Hilton’s full response below:
I have long had plans to return to New York City more permanently. New York was my home for 6 years in the mid 90s, before I moved to Los Angeles. I also lived here for 3 months last year while doing an off Broadway show. I’m a new father and I am primarily focused on my family and where we will be most happy. I love New York and that is where me and my growing family want to call home right now. Sunday, my realtor showed us a list of possible apartments to rent. I learned only after the fact that Lady GaGa lives in one of the buildings we looked at, and she was across the country in Los Angeles when I viewed that building. After a day of innocent house-hunting, I am devastated and my heart hurts that my former very good friend, a person I used to call my “wifey” and traveled the world with, is making very public and very untrue allegations about me on Twitter. While it is still too painful for me to go into detail about why I chose to no longer make her a part of my life, I will say that I am a critic and not a “stalker”. Any allegation that I am stalking her, based on a day of house hunting with my baby boy and my mother, is utterly false, defamatory and now appears to be putting me and my family in danger. I will continue to be a critic – in a way that is not mean or involves name-calling, and I will continue to have an opinion and talk about music and songs, like GaGa’s “Applause”. I hope her fans stop sending me death threats, as the suggestion that I pose a danger to Lady GaGa is preposterous. If her fans want to send a message of support to Lady GaGa, they should buy her music. Notwithstanding my feelings about our personal relationship, I do wish Lady GaGa happiness and continued success and I assure you my family house hunting has nothing to do with her.

hate them both

Wow. It almost sounds like Perez doesn’t like it when someone uses electronic media to take something that is actually true and exaggerate it to get an emotional response from their readers/followers.
Maybe Gaga can take a picture of his whiny note & scrawl Karma across it.

“…blogger who is at least partially responsible for her quick rise to superstardom…”
Um, no.

Mario you gross pig leave her alone.

Perez Hilton is a bitch, Lady Gaga is a hot mess, and Lady Gaga fans are a disaster.

@AlexM: “Lady Gaga fans”
I’m sorry but who has a fanbase that is not composed of superfans that are batshit crazy? Don’t generalize one of the biggest fanbases out there just because they are more relevant then every other one combined. Except The tween ones for Bieber and One Direction, those are on another level of stanning.

Oh no! The Annoying is at war with the Inconsequential! It’s so hard to choose a side.

I don’t know, maybe I went to good schools, but I think I knew by the 4th grade when to use “I” and when to use “me”. Or at least me think me did. This guy writes a column?

Who is Lady Gaga? Is it a brand of baby clothing?

I am so glad fake “perez hilton” has left Los Angeles. I have never seen such not a nice person from him toward all the feels of the true people I met at the Hollywood social web site at the wonderful holiday party I attended. The majority were gay people with wonderful elegance, beautiful good-looking attitude, fun and simply a very friendly to all the people in the greater Los Angeles beautiful people. “perez hilton” in journal was simply a FAKE attitude and trashy people. Most of the people I meet meet in entertainment, goodlooking and nice people in our high class quality who treats everyone like Hollywood, the real ones is so different than the TRASH that hilton perez is all about. Thank goodness he is gone. Thank goodness Lady Gaga is the real nice person that we deserve instead of stupid ugly trashy hateful people like “perez” …. aka his real stupid name :Mario Armando Lavandeira 35 year old dummy!
DarkZephyr
I don’t think I can possibly hate Perez Hilton more than I do now.
HernanMinogue
Gaga should have know better. IDK why famous people still associate themselves with Perez.
Tone
There are too many people right in my own community who are unsure where their next meal is coming from for me to give a good god damn about the phony crises of either Perez or Gaga. Two celebs bitch-slapping each other is trite and tiresome.

What the fuck is a Perez Hilton?
QJ201
Perez Hilton is a failed actor all around scumbag. Nice he bought himself a baby.

@FunMe: An interesting rant. However your grammar and syntax is excruciatingly painful to read. Perhaps English is your second language but that is really not a good excuse. My experience in Hollywood was quite different. I found that majority of these so called high class quality gay people, especially the good looking ones, to be vain vapid,and ridiculous in the extreme. To judge a class of people who are at best superfluous to be anything close to fine and good and pure based largely on their appearance is(and I use restraint here) to have achieved the pinnacle of naivety.@Tone: I could not agree with you more Monsieur Tone. Bravo!!!

@iMort: YOUR experience in Hollywood? Who the fuck are you? Mamie Van Doren?

I see Perez is still ugly as fuck. If he ever gets a man, it won’t be because the dude loves him. It’ll be because of money. I bet he gets rent boys to feed his appetite. He pisses the shit outta me. He had no shame exposing Dustin Lance Blacks sex photos for everyone to see. The ugly stupid fuck!!!

@QJ201: Cheers, I actually had no idea. Looks like a twat, evidently acts like one too.

@hf2hvit: Ten years in set design and graphics and numerous high toned Hollywood parties, since you asked. Your language betrays your obvious lack of decorum. I worked on a couple of movies that even you might have seen.

@Red Meat: Gaga Fans are definitely the most aggressive music fans. It can be ANY RANDOM POP SONG on youtube and you will find somewhere in the comments Gaga fans talking about whatever song she released during that era kicks that song’s @$$ to bits and how that singer can’t sing or something. It’s ridiculous.They are most definitely little monsters I have never seen a meaner fan base which is hilarious when Gaga keeps trying to get them to show peace and love.

Now the bully is playing the victim, classy. I really hope he doesn’t bring his crap to NY. His 15 minutes of fame drama is not needed or wanted. Nyers don’t have your back…GO away!The community has enough issues without your embarrassment. And no GAgas fan are not the most aggressive music fans, the 1Ds fans are psychos.
QuintoLover
@okifyousayso: I think they’re psychos for liking the band but I haven’t seen nearly as many onedirection fans going to unrelated musician’s articles and videos and blatantly attacking them. Hell I can’t even remember the last time I saw a 1D attack but the last time I saw a Gagafan attack was the other day on Candy Katy.
FunMe
@iMort: FIRST time I added some comments where I could care less how I wrote it. Fact of the matter: fake Perez Hilton is gone from LA for his really bad negative and attitude. The people at my parties have NOTHING to do what you think. Thank goodness Perez is gone and you are not at the parties I attend from high quality and niceness.
Nyruinz
Perez Hilton will not last in NYC, real new yorkers will not tolerate that fake Hollywood foolishness. That man definitely has issues

@2eo: This is a bad thing? Actually I was quite fortunate to get the work. And when you are paid several thousand dollars to restore 17th century art and various other things of antiquity which is my passion. Then by all means be as snarky as you like. Bloody Wanker!!! Of course my degree means nothing to anyone but the occasional museum and art collector.
okifyousayso
@QuintoLover not being a smartass at all but everytime they think a member of 1D has a gf, she gets death threats. One member got a puppy and they threaten to kill the dog. A BBC special was done showing how crazy they are their response was propose Mass suicide. Fanatics not fans are crazy.Perez gets what he deserved, he dished it out now take the ass whooping..

@FunMe: (I attend from high quality and niceness.)???(The people at my parties have NOTHING to do what you think.)???
I agree Perez is a total douche. Where did you attend school? Croatia? I am so happy that you live in a blissful world of light and beauty. A place where everyone and everything that is not ugly exists. I too have tasted that world. However, THAT world only resides in nature. We are a very small part of what makes all of this worth while. Shall I cast my laurels at your feet for you to trod upon? I grew up, learning how to say the right things to all the right people. As clever apes we can create our own reality. Good luck with that. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

@iMort: If you insist on a dick waving contest then I was paid $65,000 [£40k in real money] to write some of the client code that allows the dissemination of medical research into the cloud for ultra fast processing. That’s just one thing.
So yeah, I do what I love. You do realise your ridiculous attempts at haughtiness have overruled your attempts at acting dismissive are clearly false, hence your constant replies. Also the throwing out of irrelevant pseudo-philisophy isn’t helping in that regard.

His ugly test tube baby is cross eyed. Seriously. How can you think that cross eyed baby is cute?

@2eo: Of course sweet pea! I am not better. I never said that I was. We all have a place in this world. At the end of the day we buy each other a pint and laugh about the whole thing. I sit down to pee. I don’t like the mess cause I see all the tiny bits that get away. I do not like the bits. In a perfect world we would be mates and laugh about the whole thing. Cut from the same cloth we are each other but still ourselves. I love you. I really love everyone for the most part. I know where we came from. I know who we are and what we can be. Call me crazy. I went to university.Sociocultural anthropology was my thing. After that? I could do stuff. See things. Holly 2EO??? Can you take a knife and dig a bot fly larvae out of your skin??? Will you put clay on your white skin? Hollywood. I forgot,they know. They know how to make big bucks. OKAY!!! THANK YOU………….
