After a mix-up Monday morning, when Perez Hilton arrived at the KTLA TV newsroom in Los Angeles more than an hour before producers were ready to have him on air to promote the book Perez Hilton’s Bloggyworld Stories, KTLA’s Sam Rubin went on an on-air rant Tuesday against the blogger, calling him a “talentless dope.”
Hilton left the studio before his scheduled interview, saying he didn’t have time to wait and that he needed to work on his blog. He also offered to be interviewed via Skype, but KTLA refused. Hilton then tweeted about the confusion throughout the morning, ending with a request for an “on-air apology/retraction.”
Rubin’s rant, in which he says, “The KTLA Morning News and yours truly have been here long before Perez Hilton upchucked his way onto the scene,” was in response to Perez’s request for a retraction.
