Dishing it

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (a.k.a. Mario Armando Lavandeira), is famous for his outlandish commentary about celebrities and the like. His last outburst about former Miss California, Carrie Prejean was all over headlines for weeks (she didn't deserve that much airtime). But his latest headline event included an assult after the Much Music Awards in Toronto on June 21st. Words between Black Eye Peas frontman Will.i.am and Hilton were exchanged regarding things Perez posted about Black Eye Pea band member, Fergie. Some name calling occurred including Perez shouting "Your not a f***ing artist, your a f***ing Faggot." to Will.i.am, which led to punches being thrown by Will.i.am's manager. With Lady Gaga by his side, Perez not only called Toronto police, but also began tweeting about the event.

"I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke."

"Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel."

"I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here."

"The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them."

Once the dust had settled, in true Perez fashion, he posted a video blog about the event in which he calls Will.i.am "shameful", a "liar", a "Faggot", and even took a hit at Fergie calling her a "Fugly Bitch." Will.i.am's manager pled guilty to one count of assault and was released. Following the event many people didn't seem at all upset, and in fact, were shocked it had taken this long for something like this to happen to the controversial blogger. Perez had this to say in response to the outpouring of tweets against him.

"I am honestly SHOCKED at the amount of people saying I deserved to be hit. Shame on you! NO. Violence is never the answer. NEVER."

Personally, I do agree, violence is never the answer, and it was clearly wrong to take it to that level, however; you cannot expect for everyone to love you, when you spend you life reporting on mostly embarrassing, negative information about celbrities you don't happen to like, and doodling penises and pee stains all over them. Also, you cannot call yourself an "activist for gay rights", and go around calling people faggots. Not cool.

Here's the video that the Assoicated Press posted on the "assult".
