Perez Hilton, the self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media,” has ruled the celebrity gossip game for years — even though his site is rarely the first to break news. His phallic drawings and off-Internet antics are enough to attract millions of hungry gossipmongers each month.
TMZ (“Thirty-Mile Zone”), on the other hand, had to settle for being somewhat entertaining and usually accurate, but rarely able to crack into Hilton’s numbers. Last week changed everything.
Since then, TMZ has dominated in Web traffic numbers, and has been cited by (and become the source of discussion for) such reputable news outlets as CNN and TheLos Angeles Times. Plus, the site — whose TV cousin features budget meetings run by lawyer and ex-People’s Court commentator Harvey Levin — continues to break news about Jackson’s death, which is shaping up to be one of the most compelling clusterf*cks in pop culture history.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick welcomed two additions to their family, specifically twin girls Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, who were carried by a surrogate mother in Ohio.
We were hoping their names would be any combination of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, but those chosen have familial meaning to the couple, who already has a 6-year-old son named James.
Will SJP’s new additions appear on the pages of People?

The basketball world was buzzing this week over the NBA Draft, and Predicto TV got to meet five of the hottest young players in the game. We were invited to the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue and dialed up some hoops prediction questions for the newest NBA stars. Blake Griffin, the #1 draft pick for the Clippers, isn’t worried about Shaq O’Neal going to Cleveland: “I guess if he’s in the Eastern Conference, I won’t have to play him as much, so that would be nice.” At the #2 pick, the Grizzlies got Hasheem Thabeet, who told us he got advice from Celtics star, Ray Allen. (He told me to) “stay focused and be ready for this. It’s going to be so challenging at first, but you’re just going to have to work at it when you get out there.” Predicto TV also spent some time with Jordan Hill, Brandon Jennings and Tyler Hansbrough. Watch Episode 26 of Predicto TV…where predictions happen!
Everyone was taken by surprise when they heard the news about the death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, on Thursday. As a living legend, Jackson inspired generations of hitmakers from Usher to Justin Timberlake to Beyoncé.
“I love Michael Jackson. His music is classic, timeless, legendary,” says Predicto Mobile community member “pugd7204.” Indeed, fans who feel the same way were anxious for his upcoming 50 concerts in London that were slated to begin July 13. Jackson was rehearsing up until the day before his death.
As of this writing, the specific cause of his cardiac arrest has yet to be determined, but stories are circulating that Jackson’s doctor might have injected him with any number of drugs that could have led to his heart failure.
At the moment of this writing, Jackson is claiming six of the top 10 spots with “Man in the Mirror,” “Thriller,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Black or White.”

Just how much of a public figure’s private life should be made … well, public? The eternal debate continues, with the latest pothole in the road to the answer being the deep hole dug by South Carolina’s governor, Mark Sanford.
Sanford seemingly fell of the face of the earth this weekend. When asked about his whereabouts, everyone from his staffers to his wife offered up varying answers from “I don’t know” to “he’s hiking in the mountains” and “he needed some time away to think.” Turns out Sanford flew to Argentina for a rendezvous with his mistress. This wasn’t the first time — some previous trips were made at the expense of taxpayers — nor did he appoint a second-in-command or get his story straight with the crew in S.C.
Whether the media backs off or not remains to be seen, but will the governor, once considered a potential Republican candidate for president, surrender those aspirations in the wake of his public embarrassment?

He’s been the staple of the show that pushes its contestants to their physical and mental limits. Whether it was moderating the bug-eating contests or watching competitors duke it out in the rough terrain, Jeff Probst has always been the consistent element of CBS’ Survivor.
The locations, challenges and colorful personalities may change each season, but Probst, who admits to loving the people he gets to meet while filming, serves as the pillar of reason and rationale — often missing from the malnutritioned and sometimes delusional players.
But is Probst tiring of his rugged international adventures? The host’s contract expires once he finishes filming back-to-back seasons of the show, specifically the 19th and 20th.
Though he gets to travel, Probst has sometimes complained about the conditions of the locales where the show is taped — and he gets what are considered “luxuries” such as a toilet and Internet access. Plus, Probst has some other projects in the works.
Will Probst’s flame continue to burn on this reality series? Visit Predicto.com to find out the answer to this and the many other running surveys that are waiting for your participation. If you still can’t get enough Predicto, then become a fan on Facebook!

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is known for causing a furor in Hollywood. Over the years he’s proudly posted pictures of your favorite stars and starlets in their most awkward moments on his popular Web site, which reportedly has 10 million unique visitors each month.
But the personality, who, as of late, has become as much of a celebrity as those he follows, may have received a smack down from one of hip-hop’s most unlikely groups. Followers of Hilton’s site know how Perez likes to ridicule the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie, who years ago had an accident when she didn’t quite make it to the restroom in time. Perez has continued to joke about the incident and Fergie in general, but over the weekend, he was confronted by her bandmate, will.i.am. After an exchange of words, a scuffle ensued and Perez walked away from the situation with black eye and a bruised ego.
This will be one of the most talked about scandals for weeks to come. To find out more on the latest gossip, visit Predicto.com, sign up and start voting on surveys just like this one. Get more Predicto in your life by becoming a fan on Facebook.
This Just In: A petition is circulating on the Internet seeking to have Perez removed the list of nominees on the Teen Choice Awards. The petition claims that Hilton’s content is not appropriate for teens, and calls for a boycott of sponsos Neutrogena and Dr. Pepper. This comes in addition to a campaign on Twitter to get people to stop following the blogger’s tweets. Check out the petition here.
