Perez Hilton - "I need to be the solution, and not part of the problem"



Recently Perez Hilton has championed a movement to help bring awareness to bullying stemming from a rash of teenage suicides related to the victims sexuality. In the process of doing so, Perez has routinely been called a hypocrite (among other things) due to the fact that he has actually become somewhat of a superstar himself by "bullying" celebrities on his site by repeatedly using negative terms while referring to them (Jennifer Anniston is Jennifer "MAN"iston, Rumer Willis is "potatohead", etc..)

In a just posted video, Perez seems to have taken a step back and appears to be considering what his critics have had to say.

In the video, he references growing up, becoming more mature, and says he needs to be "the solution, not part of the problem" and vows to change his ways, even if it affects traffic to the website that has made him who he is today.

The video appears to be extremely heartfelt and genuine, and coming from a man who has struggled for acceptance for most of his life,(whether you love him or hate him) it is a pretty cool thing to watch, and an even more ballsy thing for him to have recorded.
