Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (aka Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr.) is no stranger to having his hands full.
While managing multiple verticals of his self-titled blog, writing books, and making guest appearances worldwide, the formerly pink-haired Perez has added proud papa to his resume in Feb. Much like his opinions of the stars, the always outspoken single parent isn't shy about expressing his love for his precious Perezito, Baby Mario.
