Pop culture blogger Perez Hilton and Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills have had an ugly argument in the wake of the death of Corey Monteith.

Following the sad news of the Glee star’s passing, Perez took to Twitter – like many other stars – to express his sadness, saying; ‘R.I.P. Cory Monteith… And may his family find solace in knowing that he touched the hearts of people worldwide.’

He then went on to speculate what the public reaction would be if he were to die himself, adding: ‘I like to be real. Even with myself. If I died right now, many people would celebrate and think the world was better off.’



The blogger went on, revealing how he’d personally like to be remembered.

‘I hope over time people can see in my heart and soul. I hope my true self shines. I hope I continue to be better and do better,’ he said, before adding: ‘It is my biggest hope in life than when I die I am remembered as an amazing father and someone who made people smile and shared great music.’

However, the comments did not sit well with Scott Mills, who accused Perez of self-indulgence in one of his own tweet.

‘Really very sad to hear about Corey Monteith. And somebody really needs to stop Perez Hilton tweeting right now,’ the radio presenter said.

Perez then fired back at Mills, saying: ‘I say this with a lot of love. Go stick a baseball bat up your ass!’, to which Scott replied: ‘is this a tribute to yourself? Shut up’

The situation seemed to culminate with Perez declaring he would block Mills from his Twitter feed.

Glee star Moneteith, who had been known to struggle with drug addiction in the past, was found dead on Saturday in a hotel in Vancouver aged 31.
