CRISS ANGEL HURLS BARB AT BLOGGER PEREZ HILTON

April 17, 2009 - 11:51 pm
 

Controversial illusionist Criss Angel ended his show Friday with a zinger he may live to regret.

"I have to recognize someone special here in the house," said Angel, the Luxor headliner who has had a rough run.

"Perez Hilton, please stand up," said Angel, referring to the celebrity blogger whose real name is Mario Lavandeira.

We have the world's biggest douchebag asshole in the house!" said Angel.

Perez Hilton's response: "Thanks for the free tickets!!"

The shocker came at the end of Angel's 9:30 p.m. performance.

It wasn't the first time a Las Vegas headliner took a writer to task in front of an audience -- but Angel blasted a writer with a vast Internet audience.

Wayne Newton stopped his show during the 1990's to deliver a blistering critique of a Las Vegas entertainment critic who had been a thorn in Newton's side.
