Perez Hilton Reflects on His "A-List Status" at the Gansevoort

Apparently celebrities are smarter that we suspected. Anyone with any weather-related intelligence got the freezing cold out of New York heading south or west. For once, New York was quiet, but that meant a lone blogger called Perez and his party at the Hotel Gansevoort could emerge from the bone chilling cold as an A-list star within the hottest spot of the night-- with Madonna apparently on-hand to vouch for his coolness. (She wasn't there unfortunately, so we'll have to take P-Nasty's word.)

While Chloe Sevigny and T.I. kept things sizzling at Miami's Gansevoort South, the slimmed down Perez was the celeb of the mo at Gansevoort New York. The adorable former lover of E on Entourage, Emmanuelle Chriqui, was there too, but somehow Perez stole all the thunder.

We actually got to speak with Perez and he told us how he went from zaftig to svelte this past year, although we did see him snag a Jeffrey Chodorow-inspired canape or two.

"I work out five days a week and I get my meals delivered and I only drink and cheat on day a week -- on Sunday -- normally. It's the holiday so it's all out the window now."

Diva or not, according to the Queen of Online Media, Madonna has his back.

"In Madonna's eyes I am on the A-List. She dedicated a song to me at a concert this year. She made me a video. I sang with her. If Madonna thinks I am cool, that is pretty fucking A-List."

Just like Miami's Gansevoort, New York's was peppered with Wilhelmina Models to keep up appearances. Tickets started at $175. Of course like any New York party, and especially a New York party where the top billing is El Perez, there were tons of Bridge and Tunnel folk crowding the rooftop, restaurant and lobby areas.

How do we know this? In an elevator packed with nearly two dozen revelers the answer to the question "Where are you guys from?" was: "Jersey, baby!" (No offense, Juliana!) And those Jersey folk weren't letting any cold weather temper their night. Why? Because they were staying in hotel.
