Hilton/will.i.am Altercation Caught on Tape

Posted: 22 Jun 2009 11:38 PM PDT

The Perez Hilton and will.i.am altercation was caught on tape by someone with a camera phone (handy little things aren’t they). It happened at the Much Music Awards after party in Toronto.

In the video you can clearly hear Hilton egging will.i.am on by calling him a “f**kin f*ggot”. Not sure what that’s about since Perez is the only openly gay guy there.

There is still no proof that will.i.am threw any sort of punch though it is clear that he did seek out Perez to confront him on some hurtful comments.

Chris Brown Will Serve Hard Labor

Posted: 22 Jun 2009 11:15 PM PDT

The sentencing of Chris Brown happened today. Rihanna was prepared to testify against Chris Brown if called upon, but his guilty plea sealed the deal. It was unsure if he would but because he did it seems that he will not have to serve any time in prison.

Chris Brown heads into courtroom - June 22, 2009

The verdict as deemed by the judge was 180 days of hard labor, travel restrictions, restraining no contact orders, and all the other perks associated with becoming a felon. Like not being allowed to own a gun, subject to searches without a warrant, etc…

In a popular poll from TMZ.com is seems that the majority of people believed that the verdict was fair. Personally I would have rather served the jail time. Yeah the food is bad but maybe I’d be able to catch up on some reading. Instead, Chris Brown will have to spend 180 - 8 hour days washing fire trucks, pulling weeds and picking up trash in city parks. Community service probably is the way to go though. Cleaning up the town is better for everyone rather than having him eat up tax payers money in prison. 

Did you think Chris Brown’s sentence was fair?

Perez Hilton Assaulted By will.i.am in Toronto?

Posted: 22 Jun 2009 09:28 AM PDT

Celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, was allegedly assaulted by Black Eyed Peas front man, Will.i.am, while they were both in Toronto during the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards over the weekend.  The altercation is said to have taken place at a nightclub in the area where Perez says the rapper and his 90107NC1_FERGIE_B_GR_05 security guys attacked him.

While Perez has filed a police report, Will.i.am is denying the assault took place although he does admit that they got into an argument at an after party.  Of course, Perez documented the whole thing on Twitter (he claims he did it because the police weren't showing up).  Check out these updates:

  • I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.
  • 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.

As if that wasn't enough, Perez had to release a video about the whole thing.

Of course, Will.i.am has released a rebuttal video and created his own Twitter account just to address the rumors.

What do you think really happened?  I think this is really too bad because the Peas are having a lot of success with their new singles "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling."  I don't know who I believe.  Do you think Will.i.am really assaulted Perez?
