Perez Hilton defends himself over fake Miley Cyrus no knickers pic

Blogger says everything's been blown out of proportion

Perez Hilton doesn't approve of Miley Cyrus being 'unladylike'

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton has tried to play down the controversy surrounding his decision to post a fake naked image of Miley Cyrus online.

In the Photoshopped snap, the Hannah Montana star, 17, appeared not to have any underwear on while climbing out of a car.

But following an online backlash - including some calls for him to face child pornography charges - Perez, real name Mario Lavandeira Jr, has removed the picture.  

‘Do you think I am stupid enough to post a real photo of Miley not wearing any underwear?' he says in a video response.

‘Sure I like to be controversial, but I don't want to go to jail. Do you think Miley is that stupid to be out in public without panties?

‘The reason I linked to that photo is because I thought she was exiting this car in a very unladylike fashion. People, snap out of it!'

Miley isn't at all happy about someone messing around with her image.

‘That's some idiot being an idiot,' she told Ryan Seacrest on his US radio show.

‘Isn't it funny that things like that, that are so negative, have to come out right before my record?'
