- 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 »

Oh, he deserved it. He's deserved it many, many times. His mouth is way too big.View thread
Perez Hilton is not a victim, he was held accountable.
That isn't to say that violence is a reasonable, or acceptable way to settle a dispute, but Hilton has had this coming for a long time.
Hilton has shown himself to be little more than a pimple on society's ass, whose only accomplishment is judging other people's accomplishments. Dozens of times per day, he goes on record to millions of loyal readers and bashes, makes fun of and judges people in the media's eye. What he does, disgusts me, and until now, until he was punched in the face, he has never faced the consequences of his actions.
How would you react if someone said to your face, what Hilton says about others on a daily basis, about either yourself, or someone you care about?
Now he goes on his blog and acts like a victim, as though he has done nothing wrong. It seems like he has learned nothing from this experience about the affect his actions have on others and how you should treat people.
Hilton shouldn't have been hit, that was wrong, but people need to stop supporting what he does, because it is also wrong.
He is so obnoxious and annoying. Miss California should kick his butt next! :)
That guy should have hit him again. Hilton or whatever his name is, is a snake! The gay community should be ashamed that he calls himself gay, he's a wimp!!!
Is that your laundry dryin' in the background?
and the gays say they are peacefull
this made my day
