No, I’m not kidding. Perry Caravello is talking to Fox News about his close pal, balloon boy dad. It gets better: He’s also stabbing his pal in the back. It gets better than that: He’s accusing the fucking guy of being a publicity whore. That’s right, Scary Perry, the man who said, “I will do anything to become a celebrity” and felt so strongly about it that he endured Windy City Heat, is saying shit like, “What will this guy go through or put up with to become a celebrity?” The quadruple irony is that Perry is making these accusations so he can be famous again!
Here’s the Perry part from the Fox News article:
A former associate of Heene’s told Foxnews.com he met the aspiring actor and filmmaker during the mid-1990s while working in a restaurant in Woodland Hills, Calif.
“He was trying to be an actor, he was trying to be a filmmaker,” Perry Caravello said. “He and his wife were developing films and they were developing ideas for shows and piecing together stuff for different companies.”
Caravello, who starred in 2003’s “Windy City Heat,” a made-for-television movie that appeared on Comedy Central, said Heene tried to become a part of the project but was shunned by its principals. Soon thereafter, Heene began crafting the idea of the “Psyience Detectives,” Caravello said.
“He was totally bizarre with all that garbage,” Caravello said. “We were like science detectives and storm chasers. Actually, it was very deadly, the storm-chasing stuff. He’d drive a motorcycle into the center of a tornado to get his readings. He would get on this itty-bitty motorcycle and just go.”
“He punched me up in Wyoming,” Caravello said. “That was the last time I spoke with him.”
Caravello claims Heene still owes him $1,000 lent to him by Caravello’s late mother.
“I was his assistant, his right-hand man, per se,” he continued. “And I’d like to know when he’s going to pay me.”
Caravello said he was “totally shocked” when he realized it was Heene’s 6-year-old son, Falcon, who authorities believed was soaring above the earth in one of his father’s homemade aircraft.
“It clicked,” he said. “The name Heene clicked in my brain. I was totally shocked at what I was reading.”
Caravello said he has no doubt that Thursday’s dramatic scene was somehow connected to Heene’s desire to make it in Hollywood.
“It was a publicity stunt because Richard is not in the limelight like he used to be,” he said. “He wants to be in the entertainment field. What will this guy go through or put up with to become a celebrity?”
Caravello said Heene, a diabetic, loved to eat “sweet things” and was also known to be messy. The two frequently partied and did drugs together, he said.

These dopey “TV stars” from these f***ing reality shows….
If I had a time machine, I would bring back Hitler and convince him that it was the reality tv personalities that stabbed Germany in the back in WWI. Then I would tell him to develop a “solution”.

People in my city are getting shot and abused by their parents every week but they’re not rich and white so who gives a fuck right?
I wanna see that fail human urinal cake Nancy Grace talk about something important for once or just get murdered herself so others can sensationalize it.

Is everything schizo themed right now or am i turning?

@Sal: Are they getting both shot and abused by their parents? Or do you mean that some people are getting shot, while others are getting abused by their parents, and neither is being reported? Because getting both is definitely newsworthy (even if they are black) and, if that’s the case, I suggest you start a wordpress blog immediately. Get to some down and dirty investigative journalism. Sounds like one of those silent epidemics. You’re sitting on a goldmine motherfucker!!!!!

If you want proof that it is a hoax, just look at what #balloonboy is chewing on when he is released from his cardboard prison: a spent lightstick.

There’s something so unbelievably creepy about that little fuckbag’s face it makes me wanna puke blood.

I was sorta hoping the kid would blurt out “I take it up the ass from my dad!”
when the cops were talking to him.
Now THAT’s a publicity stunt that would backfire on you, eh? HAHAHAHAHA

Theyre getting shot and abused by me actually.
You’ve gotta have some way to have fun when you’re driving an ice cream truck.

It’s good to see Perez Hilton is contributing so much to this site.
He’s so fabulous.
