Report: ABC pulls ads from Perez Hilton site; TV Land ads remain [poll]

Has celebrity blogger Perez Hilton finally gone too far with a link to an alleged "upskirt" photo of 17-year-old Miley Cyrus?

If you're ABC, the answer is apparently yes -- in the wake of the photo scandal, the Disney-owned network has yanked its spots for "The View" off Hilton's site, Pop Tarts reports. Still prominently featured, with a matching background: ads for "Hot in Cleveland," the new TV Land series featuring Betty White.

Miley, meanwhile, mouthed off at Hilton in a phone interview with Ryan Seacrest on Monday regarding the tweet from the blogger's account.

"That's some idiot being an idiot," she said.

Hilton or someone with access to his Twitter account posted a link to a dangerously aimed photo apparently of the singer getting out of a car in a dress; the link has since been deleted. A post on Hilton's website Tuesday linked to "photographic evidence" that Miley was wearing underwear.

Dunno about you, but this blog draws a distinction between being able to see an outline of a person's panties through her dress and being shown the business end of said panties in a picture taken using a camera aimed directly at a girl's crotch.

Call us old-fashioned.

How about we get on the photographers actually taking the pictures? Why aren't they being investigated for taking it in the first place? THEN and only then will this become a nonissue. Stop TRYING to take pics up people's skirts, particularly minors!

katie, you need to understand that these girls do this "no panty wearing" while out for photo ops ON PURPOSE. it's been going on for years now. the question is WHY is this child being pimped this way by her father and her handlers? they WANTED that photo taken so that cyrus can extend her fanbase with her new "sluttier" image.
NOTHING in hollywood happens by accident. all of this stuff is planned by publicists.

I think Perez Hilton should be fined with child pornography. I am tired of his antics and using his homosexuality as his firing come back as to why people are always mad at him. He is a creep and a jerk.

@Eric Melrue -- Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog. Do you *really* think I"m gonna publish what you just submitted?

Um, no.

But thanks for sharing those private thoughts with the group.

And if she hadn't been wearing panties?? WHO CARES? Either people whose own lives are so painfully empty, or sick people. Some perfectly normal, perfectly decent people don't wear underwear and no one would ever know because normal people don't have sick cameramen following them with cameras up their crotches! And why do those cameramen do that? Because our sick culture is obsessed with all things celebrity (crotch shot! nipple slip! divorce! scandal! adoption! liposuction! oh my god people, WHO CARES!?!?). YUK. And in THIS case...being that she's underage...it's PEDOPHILIA.

Arrest Ms. Per-azzzz!!...save celebrities and the gay community from peeping pervs like Ms. Thang here...

[dostoyevsky]

Posting a pic of a girl's crotch in order to protest the fact that the girl is flashing her crotch hardly qualifies as 'porn.'

[DP]

If this was some dude from Ohio, he would have been arrested. Do the police in LA not arrest anyone who has been on TV, aside from episodes of COPS?

Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog.

Point of clarification: The way celebrity photography works, the people publishing the pics typically aren't the people who are snapping the pics.

Those who are accusing Perez of *taking* said pics? It pretty much doesn't work that way. He's in front of the cameras, not behind them.

Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog. Again.

Submitting a link to a forum alleging links to the aforementioned pic, uncensored -- really?

Am laughing at the effort. And hitting "spam." Thanks for playing.

Memo to DP: "COPS" is produced all over the U.S., not just in L.A. When it first aired in 1988, IIRC, its original locale was Fort Lauderdale, FL, and environs. It's gone to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, L.A., Seattle, and on and on and on. I doubt it'll ever stop...especially its distinctive theme music...

As for Ms. Cyrus, her recent actions and mode of dress(though fully clothed)still raise eyebrows, whether this incident really occured or not.

Perez Hilton is in the news. He got what he wanted. As with most people whose livelihood is based on the activities of others more famous than themselves, his primary, if not sole, motivation is self-promotion. He's not going to cure cancer, win a Pulitzer, or even make any strides in promoting gay rights or gaining acceptance for the gay community. He's a gossip columnist. He's Rona Barrett without the class.

[jacqueline Tellalian]

the worst part is he isn't really a gossip columnist - most of his stuff is pilfered from other sites - the picture was a complete anomaly. his fame and "power" comes from a very time-honored method: payola. he takes money - and I'm sure lots of it - for featuring bands or performers on his site "exclusively". after his success doing this with Lady Gaga (he posted something about her pretty much EVERY DAY for nearly a year!), his head has swelled to delusional proportions. his site is unreadable these days, but as long as he's considered a "playa" in Hollywood, then his "brand" will grow,

sick world...
