Perez Hilton…The Ultimate Critic

The biggest critics of teen stars seem to be the parents of teenagers who think that teen celebs are horrible role models for their children. Other than the parents, Perez Hilton has become known as one of the most influential and notorious pop culture critics out there…and he doesn’t dismiss the little teen celebs either!

Not only does he have an active blog but he’s very popular on Twitter with over 2 million friends. He has his own YouTube channel and a fashion blog (where he talks about teen celebs fashion too).

Example of how he is a critic to the tween/teen world is shown throughout his entire website. He recently wrote a story about Miley Cyrus living with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Instead of taking her side, he totally disses her and her father…and you can clearly see where he calls her skanky and trashy. (He tends to do this a lot with his Miley posts.)

Some take his words as rude and insincere but his blogging is unique because he says pretty much what’s on everyone else’s mind…and he does it with no shame at all.

He was one of the first people to do so. Not everything he has to say about teen celebs is negative; he seems to love Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.

Would he be the best critic for actual teens to read? Probably not. He has a tendency to use raunchy language and provocative drawings on pictures, but he does critique the teen celebs pretty well.

Many think that he shouldn’t target the younger celebs because of their age, but why not? They put themselves out there, try to act like adults, and secretly probably like the publicity anyway.

Do you think he should exclude teen celebs from his blog? What are your thoughts on his critiques?
