Frequent readers of The Magical Buffet know that I LOVES me some Perez Hilton. I love that he’s a hard-working, self-promotion machine who happens to have a pretty good ear for music. I know, he’s easy to put down, but I will never do that. Perez Hilton’s success is the American dream in action. His website shows up on loads of top whatever lists of influential/powerful blogs. That’s why I am so pleased to tell you….
I beat him! I beat Perez Hilton! I haven’t felt this bad ass since I beat MTV to Raven Digitalis!
Today while catching up on my Perez I noticed that yesterday, November 13, 2008 he had this. Yep. Readers of The Magical Buffet already know about Movember because thanks to friend and art contributor Will Hobbs I posted about it on October 27, 2008.
I know it’s not that big of deal, and it’s not like I really “scooped” Perez on a story, but since Hilton gets the fame, money, and celebrity connections, I’m opting to claim Movember as a resounding victory for the Buffet. Go me!
By the way, there is still plenty of time left to celebrate Movember right by donating to the cause. You can definitely up your Magical Buffet street cred by donating to Will Hobbs’ Mo!

As always
Many congratulations on beating Perez.
I would hope, however, that will be the extent of the coverage that you give Perez Hilton on this site. I am an avid fan of the Magical Buffet and a practicing witch, and therefore am conflicted by his mention here. I certainly hope that PH isn’t the American Dream in action, because in my opinion he has become (somewhat) famous by humiliating others and glorifying the basest situations and humor. It is a sad testament to the generation that admires him.
Gone are the days when gossip columnists (which is basically what PH is in our online society) relied on wit and inference to discreetly tattle. Now we are reduced to viewing photos of celebrity genitalia sloppily Photoshop-altered to resemble the wall of a boy’s public toilet stall. That is neither witty nor discreet, to say the least; and it certainly doesn’t garner my admiration.
Regarding the Magical Buffet, the site is wonderful; the new look is sleek. I offer my congratulations. And I thank you for giving me the opportunity to give feedback; I don’t normally respond to any of the myriad of blogs that I read frequently, but I was moved to voice my opinion.
Blessed be,
A.D.
