It's high drama on celeb blogger Perez Hilton's debut tour.

Just a week after the nationwide outing featuring co-headliners Ladyhawke and Ida Maria opened in Atlanta, GA, Norwegian rocker Maria has canceled her remaining appearances on the tour, citing "total exhaustion." Seattle dance-rockers Natalie Portman's Shaved Head will fill in.

Perez Hilton helped put Lady Gaga and Mika on the map by featuring them in the "Listen to This" section of his popular site Perezhilton.com. So it was only a matter of time before America's celebrity blog princess became a de facto A&R man with his own label and a national tour.

He dishes out celebrity gossip. He doodles penises with abandon. He gets black eyes from Black Eyed Peas. Few web surfers can avoid coming across the ubiquitous Perez Hilton, and now the self-described "Queen of All Media" unveils another identity: tour promoter.

Ida Maria's killing it in 2009: Her album, Fortress Round My Heart, is one of this year's best albums so far -- and now she's reeled in one of her idols to collaborate on a new single.
