Perez Hilton calls will.i.am a "faggot", gets punched in the face

- Police have charged the tour manager of the Black Eyed Peas with assault after he allegedly gave celebrity blogger Perez Hilton a black eye outside a Toronto nightclub.

Hilton said he got into an argument with band members Fergie and will.i.am at the Cobra nightclub early Monday morning and was punched outside by Polo Molina, the band's tour manager. They were at the club following a Sunday night video awards show.

Molina turned himself in and has been charged with assaulting Hilton, Toronto Police Constable Tony Vella said. Molina is due in court Aug. 5.

Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, complained about the incident on the microblogging site Twitter. He tweeted at 4 a.m.: "I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke."

Hilton, who is openly gay, said in interview with The Associated Press that he called will.i.am a "faggot," a gay slur, inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his Web site.

"He was like 'You need to respect me.' He was in my face. He was obviously trying to intimidate me and scare me," Hilton said. "I was like 'I don't need to respect you. I don't respect you and I did say this, and I knew that it would be the worst thing I could possibly say to him because he was acting the way he was. I said 'You know what, I don't respect you and you're gay and stop being such a faggot.'"

Hilton, who was at the club with Lady Gaga, said he then left the club and was punched from behind. The pop stars and the blogger were among celebrities in Toronto for the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday night. ... Read full article »

    What I would like to know is this: how did this fat, repugnant, talentless POS ever get to be famous? What is wrong with America that we allow this kind of J.O. any kind of fame?

    And the queenier they are, the more the media lap it up.

    Do the ex-anti-establishment kids realise that they are now the establishment? So, since the establishment isn't cool, then they are not cool. What ever happened to anyone over 30...

    Perez is a jerk, and he does need to respect the privacy of others. Who wants their picture on his site with penis drawn on it. That is all Perez does, draws penis's on celebrities, even minors. The guy is a jerk, and his 15 minutes are up.



    As for the Black Eyed Peas; Where is the love?

    Perez Hilton isn't even his real name. I hear his parents made him change it.

    I am so glad someone finally gave this fool his come-uppance. He hides behind his web site and insults everyone he doesn't like.and the worst of it is he gets away with it. I guess he finally insulted the wrong person. Who is this jerk anyway, never even heard of him before the pageant. Has he ever done anything but insult people? What exactly is his claim to fame?

    I guess rappers aren't as docile as Miss California.

    I would have encouraged Miss California to punch Mario Lavanderia (aka perez) in the face but perez would have had to gather a whole gang of sissies to make it a fair fight.

    mario lavanderia aka perez perez gather gang sissies fair fight
