Perez Hilton, the blogosphere’s most popular celebrity blogger is in hot water again over copyright infringement. According to Variety.com, the site went off line when its hosting company pulled the plug:
After numerous warnings against Hilton’s (aka Mario Lavandeira) use of copyrighted celebrity images, the Oz-based Crucial Paradigm took the site off line; it was dark for a number of hours before it returned to the Internet with a different host.Hilton is currently named in four lawsuits involving eight photo agencies for his alleged theft of photographs that appear on his site, one that’s been a popular gossip destination for some 2½ years. Hilton frequently adds his own captions to the shots.

A one hundred year retrospective of the life and art of Frida Kahlo at Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes was the site of political unrest yesterday, as supporters of leftist ex-candidate for the Mexican presidency, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (referred to by his supporters as the “legitimate President of Mexico) gathered to protest the arrival of President Felipe Calderón and his guests. Calderón and a slew of his cronies, among them some celebrities, were attending a special event in honor of the Kahlo exhibit and were the subject of insults as they entered. Mexico City’s La Jornada paints an excellent picture of how things played out:
The biggest examples of aggression happened on the East side of the building, next to the Alameda Central park and at one of the entrances in which the protestors alternated between chants against the President and in favor of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and insults towards those who were going in: “¡lambiscones!” “¡cucarachas!” y “¡lamehuevos del espurio!”

Farmer’s Branch, Texas is out of luck for now when it comes to enforcing their anti-immigrant policies thanks to the decision of a judge on Tuesday. The judge ruled that the ordinances, that included ordering landlords to verify renters’ legal status, could not take effect while a legal challenge against them was in place. Currently American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)have a suit questioning the legality of the ordinances.
