Perez Hilton attends the grand opening of Caspian's Cocktails & Caviar at Caesars Palace on Jan. 10, 2025 in Las Vegas.
Perez Hilton is alluding to a health scare.
The infamous gossip blogger took to social media over the weekend to share a video of himself breathing shallowly in a hospital bed, with a tube of oxygen hooked up through his nostrils. Hilton, 47, also shared a series of selfies in a separate post, showing him in a hospital gown and with his stomach exposed, various incision marks visible.
"March madness indeed! Have I got a story to tell!" Hilton wrote alongside the photos of him in a Las Vegas hospital. "You are angels, all of you," he wrote in another caption to the workers at the Southern Hills Hospital in Sin City.
USA TODAY has reached out to Hilton's rep for comment.
While it was unclear what landed the king of the celebrity rumor mill in urgent care, it appears he plans to share the full story at some point on Monday, March 23. On his YouTube channel, a video listed as "upcoming" shows photos of him in the hospital as the promo images, and is accompanied by the title "My Stupidity Got Me In The Hospital For 21 Days! This Is The Most Important Video I've Ever Shared." Overlayed atop the hospital selfies is the text "the worst and the best experience of my life."

The video is scheduled to go live at noon EST.

"The decision to move to Vegas was well thought out. While some people may not like that Vegas is becoming Hollywood 2.0, I personally appreciate it," he told Real Vegas Magazine in 2024.
"My 'IT Girl' phase was in the past; I am now transitioning into my icon phase. It's truly rewarding that even after two decades, people still value and listen to what I have to say," he continued.
