Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton goes head-to-head with Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) on Larry King Live. Hardly a stellar performance for Perez, it’s still hard not to come out on top of the bigoted rantings of Maggie Gallagher. Watch.

Bravo to Shanna Moakler for taking Gallagher to task. And what’s up with Stephen Baldwin and his claims of persecution. Is being flushed a symptom of persecution? Or is it a symptom for something else? I feel so… so sorry for his brother Alec.

The National Organization for Marriage just issued a press release clarifying their relationship with Carrie Prejean.
“A number of media sources have described Carrie Prejean as a spokesperson for the National Organization for Marriage.
As we made clear at our press conference yesterday: Carrie appeared with NOM as a private citizen; she does not work for the National Organization for Marriage. She is a spokesperson for her own views, as anyone watching her can tell.
We are grateful to Carrie Prejean for her willingness to stand up for marriage. We would love to work with Carrie in the future if she chooses, and we wish her well in all her future endeavors whatever she chooses. We’re proud of her. Americans are proud of her. She is a remarkable young woman. Thank you, Carrie. “
That was a short ride on the publicity train. It seemed like a perfect match. Was it the fake boobs? Or can they nolonger afford her?
