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.

See, Perez was in the middle of some drama with the Black Eyed Peas over that black eye he got from their manager. This, along with his refusal to apologize for using a gay slur against BEP’s will.i.am., caused a spike in Hilton’s traffic. Then TMZ broke the earth-shattering news of the death of Michael Jackson.

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 The Los 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.

Meanwhile, the battle for celebrity-stalking supremacy continues, with 70% of Predicto Mobile community members predicting that TMZ will reign as Web-traffic champ through July.
