Perez Hilton Breaks Bargain to Tyra Banks

Once you pick your jaw up from the floor and recover from that shock that Perez Hilton is not a man who adheres to a strict code of ethics, read about how he pledged to stop targeting minors on his gossip site only a few short weeks before he incited Demi Moore's Twitter wrath for posting scandalous pictures of her 15-year-old daughter.  
Tyra Banks, ever intending to heal the world through her award-winning talk show, sat down with controversial gossiper Hilton for today’s opener of The Tyra Show's fifth season. In the show, taped August 18, Banks said, "When you’re a kid, especially the kid of a celebrity, I don’t feel that they should be put in the public in a way to be made fun of. I feel they should be protected," before asking Hilton to make her a promise. The model and TV mogul asked the Web gossip to abstain from targeting and bad-mouthing any celebrity under the age of 18 for one year. Hilton bargained the bar down to six months and scored a guest judge role on Banks's America's Next Top Model program in exchange for his cooperation.

We’d better not be seeing Hilton judging the fierceness in ANTM photos any time soon, because Hilton is currently embroiled in a Twitter feud over the exact behavior he pledged to avoid. Hilton posted pictures targeting Demi Moore's youngest daughter, Tallulah Willis, who at 15 is definitely a minor, as dressing in a provocative manner, labeling her a "slut," among other things. Because of the attacks, Moore accused Hilton of posting child pornography. Actress Kirstie Alley agreed, posting the message, "I don’t condone men who ridicule and sexually degrade minors!”
Hilton has responded by threatening to sue the actresses and anyone else who “slanders” or “defames” him.
