Out social media influencer Perez Hilton made his outrageous Las Vegas Strip debut as the newest guest host for the world-famous Chippendales this Friday.
Perez’s party with the Chippendales will run for a limited six-week engagement through September 2, 2018, at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
Hilton puts his own spin on the role of celebrity guest host costumed in a colorful steam-punk inspired Ringmaster costume, as he made outrageous ad libs while celebrating the hottest men, music and moves in Las Vegas.
“I’m a Vegas headliner!” Hilton told reporters on the red carpet. “What a magical night! My opening in Chippendales was a dream come true! I love this city! I love this show! I love the energy that the audience brings! Everyone is here to have THE BEST TIME and we work very hard to ensure that! I am so happy on stage and especially when surrounded by such talented and gorgeous men!”
The opening night audience included his mom, Teresita Lavandeira. “I am so happy my mom was there to cheer me on! She’s my biggest supporter!” said Perez.
During the evening, Hilton recounted the story of his “make out session” with John Mayer and, explained he wants to make peace with Lady Gaga (the duo had a falling out and feud).
“If I could invite any other Vegas headliner to come see the show, I would like to invite Lady Gaga,” said Hilton. “She and I had our issues in the past but they are in the past…this is my olive branch to Lady Gaga.”
In addition to his ongoing gossip site, PerezHilton.com, Hilton has previously appeared onstage in NEWSical: The Musical (off-Broadway) and Full House The Musical (New York and Toronto). On television, he’s been seen as an actor in Glee, Girl Meets World, Victorious, Law & Order: SVU and countless other shows.
With his run, Hilton becomes the first openly gay guest host for the Chippendales. Previous celebs who have donned the iconic cuffs and collar costume include international super-model Tyson Beckford, Dancing with the Stars and America’s Next Top Model champion, Nyle DiMarco, Dancing with the Stars Mirror Ball champion Tony Dovolani, and, Beverly Hills 90210/Sharknadostar, Ian Ziering.
It’s worth noting that, yes, men are always welcome at Chippendales.
Attending Perez’s sold-out opening night performance, this writer observed several men throughout the audience, groups of gay men, and gay besties sharing bachelorette festivities.

This was the guy get cancel from tiktok.
You’ll notice I don’t qualify Perez’s performance other than to say he was “outrageous” and “put his own spin” on the hosting spot. The article wasn’t a ‘review,’ it was a report. I reported the facts and quoted Perez. I didn’t rave or pan anything.
Hopefully whoever’s decision
Hopefully whoever's decision it was to have Hilton host has been canned. He has the appeal of a dirty dishrag.
