From the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana, to the exclusive Hollywood social scene, Perez Hilton has sure come a long way. Born Mario Lavandeira Jr., Perez grew up addicted to all things pop culture; and from an early age, he knew this was the way to go.
Raised by Cuban parents who fled their country in search of a better life, Mario grew up appreciating the value of hard work. From cleaning bathrooms to being a DJ’s assistant, he worked his way up the ladder to become who he is today. And who he is today is Perez Hilton, self proclaimed Queen of All Media; but being the Queen Bee comes at a price. Discover how with a knack for storytelling and a lot of passion, this boy from suburban Miami reinvented himself and Hollywood as we know it; all while climbing to the top La Escalera.
