Many of us today know of internet gossip columnist, Perez Hilton. His website, perezhilton.com, garners millions of hits daily for serving up salacious celebrity news, accompanied by photos that Perez doodles over with his witty take on the story.

Rockerfeller's column, the Ballyhoo Quotidian, was syndicated nationally, appearing in many now-defunct newspapers such as the New York Mirror, the Charleston Tribune, Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing Room Companion, and the Old Timey Times. He reported on all the hot gossip of the day- much of it having to do with political figures, actors of the stage, and local scoundrels and roustabouts- and used a similar style of photo doodling .
