Making quite the appearance at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto was none other than the Queen of Gossip. The Perez Hilton panda suit was probably one of the most outrageous fashions to have walked the red carpet, but at least it was for a good cause.
Lilly Pulitzer designed the Perez Hilton panda suit to benefit The World Wildlife Fund. Decorated in a zillion panda bears and little pink hearts, the suit also went along with Perez's gray hair. Say what you will, I'm just glad there wasn't another scrap like last year's award show.
