PEREZ HILTON

AGE: 30
OCCUPATION: Star-stalking blogger turned demi-celebrity
NUMBER OF TIME COVERS: 0
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 1

PRO: His raucous, bitchy celebri-blog continues to be a mainstay of the New Voyeurism, despite all the slings, arrows and lawsuits of Perez haters. And he was the first to report Castro's death: who says he's not a journalist?

CON: Castro's not dead. Whoops. Also, those Perez haters include the paparazzi he needs to survive — they want proper compensation for use of their snaps. What, fame isn't enough for them?
