Publisher's Summary
TMI is the story of how Mario Lavandeira became Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger with millions of readers around the globe who was sometimes called the Most Hated Man in Hollywood. Growing up in Miami’s Little Havana in the 1980s, Perez was bullied at school because of his weight and his sexual orientation, so he devoted all his free time to eating and watching TV in his bedroom. A scholarship to NYU was a lifesaver, as Perez felt at home in New York. But his finances took a battering, and he moved on to LA. After being fired from three different jobs within the space of 10 months, Perez suddenly hit it big in 2005 with his gossip blog. With Perez’s help, many promising young artists reached the masses - Katy Perry, Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Lady Gaga, to name just a few. Perez soon became a Hollywood insider, but during his dramatic fallout with Lady Gaga, he realized he had been used. Perez’s blog became increasingly mean - “It went from bitchy to nasty”, he recalls.
But a turning point came when Perez uploaded a video for the It Gets Better campaign and was surprised by the backlash it received. People called him a bully and a hypocrite because he previously outed gay celebrities on his blog. Perez was forced to reevaluate not only his alter ego, but also himself as a person. Following the birth of his son, he was also faced with a number of new opportunities for growth and personal reflection. TMI reveals the man behind the blog in a new, revealing, and still-juicy memoir.

Soo GOOD!
Finished it in a day because I couldn’t turn it off!! Most fun and interesting books I’ve heard in a long time. So fun. Lots of throwbacks. He’s come such a long way and I have so much respect for him. Encore!! Encore!!

Weird pauses but good book overall
Pretty good book overall. I enjoyed listening to Perez read it. However, he does long weird pauses that kept making me think I was getting a call on my phone.

Spill that Tea!
As a fan since day one of the Perez Hilton Podcast (I know how Perez LOVES a shameless plug) the audiobook read by Perez was the cherry on top of an already delicious story!Perez not only creates an insightful look into his past but is able to reflect on the ego he created that caused such a stir in Hollywood! Honest and raw, Perez breaks down what he has learned from his actions but also gives some juicy insight into the drama behind some of his fall outs! Love how each chapter begins with some of the biggest headlines during that time to remind you what the big new stories were.
MORE MORE MORE!

Mindless and Light Listening
I picked up this audiobook on a whim, and while it's not extensive deep dive into celebrity, or even into Perez himself, it is the kind of light mindless listening that does well to pass the time when you need a mental break.

Great book!
I have followed Perez for a few years now and have admired his transformation. This book was a great look into his upbringing and his early days in the entertainment world. I had a few laughs but also a few tears. Funny I found myself wanting more stories at the end thankfully we know he must have many more to tell. Maybe in his next book!

Loved this book!!!
I loved this book!! It had a great flow and loved reminiscing for all these wonderful stories. It’s also nice to hear Perez reflect on things and take ownership for any difficulties he caused for others.
