We asked our fave celeb gossip blogger Perez Hilton to dish the dirt...

What gave you the idea to start the website??
"I was bored and had a lot of free time. It seemed like fun and was easy. Probably why a lot of people blog."  

How come you always know what's going to happen before it happens?
"Because I'm ALWAYS working. Work work work. But I love what I do!"

 Who's your favorite celebrity?
"Madonna!"

 Why is your hair pink?
"Cuz it's sexy!"

 Who was the nicest celebrity you met, and snottiest?
"Nicest? John Stamos. Snottiest? Rachael Ray."

 If you could be stranded on an island with 5 celebritys, who would they be, and why?
"Jennifer Aniston, Kirsten Dunst, Mischa Barton, Star Jones and Brooke Hogan. Cuz I wouldn't mind eating them!"

 How come you refer to yourself as "we" instead of "I"?
"Because the website is not just about me. It's about US. It's an experience we're all sharing."

 Who is your idol?
"My dad."

 How do you know everything before everyone else?
"Because I work hard and have a lot of phone numbers in my address book."

 What got you started doing blogging?
"I wanted to stop bugging my friends about the latest gossip. The ones that were interested could just read it on my site instead."

 Which *one* female celebrity would turn you straight for a night?
"Regina Spektor"

 Five dinner party guests? Dead or alive, you choose!
"Madonna, Gloria Estefan, my Dad, Oprah Winfrey, my Mom."

 If you weren't blogging, what do you think you would be doing in life?
"I'd be a journalist, which is the last thing I was doing before the blog."

 Do you ever get frustrated when people say mean things about you on your site?
"No. I don't. I like the page views! Bring on the hateration."

 Are you surprised at your success? How does it feel to be adored by millions?
"I am humbled and inspired to continue to work as hard as I do."

 What's your motto in life?
"Just have fun. In whatever you do. And if it's not fun, then MAKE it fun!"

 How did you get such a great network of sources? You seem to know more than any other blogs or even the paper mags.
"I go out a lot. And it's all about trust. And relationships. I never break a confidence."
