Gossip blogger Perez Hilton vows to stop making fun of people

After building a mini-empire with his popular gossip blog, known in part for its juvenile insults of celebrities, Hilton has promised to stop attacking celebs. How brave of him. The decision, he said, stems from the recent stories about bullying and teenage suicide. He made the announcement in a YouTube video , on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” and in an interview with Out Magazine , reports The New York Times . The Times called Hilton a “master at maximizing publicity.”
