Podcast cohost addresses show status after Perez Hilton hospitalization

Chris Booker released a statement on August 5, 2026, about The Perez Hilton Podcast after his cohost was hospitalised. Perez Hilton, a well-known celebrity gossip blogger aged 48, was taken to a medical facility after police responded to his home. The incident followed a livestream on TikTok Live in which Hilton appeared to harm himself.

Booker said the future of the podcast is not yet decided, and that Hilton's health is the only priority right now. He has spoken briefly with Hilton's family, who have asked for privacy. Hospital security has made it difficult for even family members to get regular updates. Booker said he hopes to continue the shows with Hilton when the time is right.
