Perez Hilton has shed ten inches from his waist

[Honey]

Over the last few years, he has become one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood and he's already a household name in the UK.

Gossip king Perez Hilton has steadily built up so many contacts in the celebrity world that he is now as famous as those he writes about on his hugely popular website.

But you would be forgiven for not recognising the 30-year-old as he has undergone an astonishing transformation over the last 12 months.

Perez has shed his formerly fuller figure in favour of a lean physique, which he hopes will soon resemble David Beckham's.

He told MailOnline: 'I'm not weighing myself, so I don't know how much I've lost. But I know my clothes fit a lot better.

'I've gone from a 46-inch waist to a 36-inch waist.

'My goal is not be skinny. I wanna be in good shape. I'd love David Beckham's body.'

Perez has revealed the secret that lies behind his dieting success - a lucky number.

He said: 'The only number that's important to me is five - and that's making sure that I work out five days a week. And I do. I'm very committed and it's all about consistency.

'It's been a months-long process, which began back in January. The first step was just eating healthy.

'In February, I started walking at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. And in March is when I began working out at the gym with trainers.

'I have two trainers. They alternate weeks - I like the variety. We do a lot of cross training, weights, cardio, core work.
'I'm getting my meals delivered, six days a week. Thankfully, I have a cheat day!
'But, I honestly don't feel like I'm being deprived. The healthy food is yummy.
'Clichéd as it may sound, this is a change I've made for life. I'm excited to be healthy and fit.'

It's certainly been a long journey. Four years ago there was no Perez, just Mario Lavandeira, a magazine writer with a passion for fashion and celebrity news.

Then he started a blog about celebrities under the name of Perez Hilton.
Back to the present, and Perez is preparing to travel to Liverpool in November, where he'll be the 'Digital Host' at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards - although he also has an ulterior motive.

He said: 'Maybe if I work out hard enough, I can find myself a cute English boyfriend soon.
'I've never been to Liverpool before. I can't wait!'

ugh!

ok he's not hunky first of all...

and david beckham is FAR from "muscle bound"

but good for him to losing weight the right way (diet and exercise) as opposed to lipo and cigs.

[mrs.v]

Oh Fuck off..

(lol,Perez,not SVZ)

[qwerty]

I don't particularly care for him as a person but good for him. I don't wish a weight problem on anybody. Hope his new lifestyle sticks. It can be really rough emotionally on the way back up the scale (if he falters).

[ByRDi]

I LOVE how they showed a bunch of pictures of him fat and only ONE of his new "physique"

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

You're telling me the dude in the top right picture with a Blow-Pop purse is 30? Pathetic.

[Shalev]

OMG, Dita is actually smiling-

[KD]

Still an ugly, homophobic, potato head with no soul. No amt of wt loss is fixing that.

Personally, I hope he loses about 180 more and dissapears all together.

[Folieadeux]

He looks better.

How can he be homophobic, isn't he gay? lol

[Rondette]

He used to be really skinny, he sstill looked odd, I think like Kelly Osbourne, he was born to be a little on the fat side.

There are some NSFW ones there....if you really want to see his wang.....ick

[bychance]

Shouldn't it say Gossip Queen?

He looks okay. He needs to stay away from the hair dye...

[*DIVA!]

I guess someone didn't like the skits about him on the big gay sketch show.

[lalas]

not interested... just as ugly as before

[Lalique]

I wish I could afford to have special meals delivered three times a day like he did. Oh, and a personal trainer to kick my ass. Yes, I'm bitter and jealous.

[lienka]

Why do this celebs even pay attention to him? If I was famous I would completely ignore his existence.
