NYU To Dedicate Building To Perez?

NYU To Dedicate Building To Perez?

With news of a Penn building being named after famous gossip columnist Claudia Cohen, one is left to wonder what if other gossip columnists had buildings named after them at their alma maters? Cohen might have been the heir to a local NJ newspaper mogul and the late wife of a billionaire but NYU alum, Perez Hilton has got pizzazz!

 

Hilton, graduated from NYU with a BA in drama and it's obvious that he's put that degree to good use. After a few unsuccessful attempts at acting and becoming a contestant on MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar, Hilton decided performing was not for him and took to celebrity blogging. Hilton has made his blog a go-to place for all those obsessed with celebrities and pop culture and for this reason, NYU should honor him with a building.

 

Instead of paint, the building will be covered with colored Christmas lights to coordinate with Hilton's latest hair color and instead of a doorway at the front - it would be a trap shoot for all incoming students to fall as they come into the realm of Perez, much like the fallen stars he covers. What sort of classes would be held at this institution you may ask? Well for one, sticking to already existing majors is out of the question. The Perez Hilton School Of Celebrity Gossip will have majors like Paparazzi Photography, Funny Photoshopping and of course, Celebrity Blogging. This institution will be a great one to be forever loved and remembered among NYU students.

You seem to be forgetting that NYU only names buildings after people who donate countless millions of dollars... Posted 07/15/2008 12:02 AMReply

I can't believe you're comparing Claudia Cohen to the likes of Perez Hilton...did you even READ that NY Times article about her that you linked to? This "NJ newspaper mogul" you refer to is the owner of Hudson News, the newsstand that has the monopoly on every major train and bus station in and around the city. She STARTED the famous gossip column, and appeared on Live with Regis almost every week! It's not like she's just some blogger... Posted 07/15/2008 12:11 AMReply

Yeah! Perez may be a popular blogger who happens to fall under the news category of entertainment, but Claudia Cohen was a respected entertainment journalist in several media organizations. And yes, she donated money after she died to her university. Maybe if Perez donates ALOT of money, he will have a building named after him too! Posted 07/24/2008 12:55 AMReply
