Perez Hilton
Gossip

From a heated exchange between Perez Hilton and will.i.am that led to a rumble, to another Real Housewives of New Jersey star hating Danielle Staub, to Terrell Owens being told off by a Playboy model, this week had some quality celeb feuds.

Oh, and don't forget Mark Sanford feuding ... with brainpower and morals during his affair with Maria Belen Chapur. Side note: Jon and Kate Gosselin have been removed from this list, as their "feud" ended in divorce. So it's over. With no winner.

What was the best celebrity feud of the week?

Stopping by Jimmy Kimmel Live to plug his blockbuster new film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Josh Duhamel took a minute to address another topic:

The will.i.am-Perez Hilton fight.

Asked jokingly about his wife beating up Perez (he is married to Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas), Josh commented, “Yeah ... she’s a regular badass, my wife.”

He was kidding there, but he did offer his honest opinion regarding the war of words between Perez Hilton and will.i.am, which led to a physical fight and resulted in Perez getting punched in the head by the band’s manager, Polo Molina:

• Perez "hits below the belt" and when you do that so many times so blatantly, it's inevitable you're going to get whacked.
• Not only was Perez asking for this with his conduct, but Josh "kind of wishes he was there" to punch him personally.
• Perez has more press than he deserves from this.

Here's Josh Duhamel's interview with Kimmel ...

Hilton is suing Polo Molina, but in a series of statements since the assault, the most hated man in celebrity gossip seems almost more upset that no one feels sympathy toward his stupid ass than he is about getting clocked in the dome to begin with.

Cry us a river, Perez. The proof is in the poll below.

Whose side are you on?

Perez Hilton is apologizing for the gay slur he hurled at Will.I.Am and his camp, which incited Sunday night's melee after the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto.

He's apologizing with an asterisk, however.

GLAAD, the organization who asked the celebrity gossip lightning rod for an apology a couple of days ago, is deliberately excluded from Hilton's mea culpa.

Perez says he's totally sorry for using the f-word that resulted in him getting assaulted (by Polo Molina, allegedly) and says he'll never use the word again.

He continues to insist that he, the victim, should not be mocked for getting his ass whomped, clearly upset that no one feels sorry for him after all this.

Below is the apology Perez posted today. He simply wrote this one, rather than recording another lame video statement (which Zac Efron spoofed earlier).

Do you agree with what Perez says?

"People make mistakes. I have made many in my life, but this past week I have made more than I can count on one hand.

I am sorry. And I mean it. No one is forcing me to write this.

I am not feeling pressured to say this. I am speaking out because I realize that the last few days have been more hurtful to me - and many others - than the repeated blows I suffered to my head in Toronto this past weekend.

I have been filled with incredible sadness and regret.

I am sorry that any good work I have done for promoting equality may be tainted by me reclaiming a hurtful word - that's been personally used against me and the gay community - to hurt someone that was verbally attacking me. It was stupid.

Apologizing for me is not easy. Writing this was not easy. Life is not easy. But everything happens for a reason and I will take away valuable lessons from this.

Violence is never the answer. Never. Victims should not be mocked.

Zac Efron and pal Breckin Meyer teamed up to parody the altercation that ended with Perez Hilton getting punched - and posting video statements about it.

The two buds have had “issues” recently, so Zac's actor pal reached out to him the only way he knows how - a YouTube statement demanding an apology.

It's a direct parody of Perez's reaction to his fight with will.i.am and the Black Eyed Peas manager after the MuchMusic Awards Sunday night in Toronto.

Check out the hilarious spoof of the celebrity gossip blogger below, and if you missed it, here's a link to the two Perez "video statements" for reference ...

Breckin Meyer, Zac Efron Parody Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton does not believe in violence, but he is hitting back - legally - at the man who allegedly punched him in the face early Sunday morning.

Hilton filed a lawsuit against Polo Molina, the manager for the Black Eyed Peas who was arrested for assaulting Perez after the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto.

He says he's a victim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. A photo surfacing Tuesday shows Hilton getting punched - it is not clear by whom.

A video of the Perez-will.i.am altercation contains some of the vile language that was exchanged prior to the attack, but also does not show the attack clearly.

Hilton's suit claims Molina attacked him because he wouldn't stop writing about the Peas on his website. Molina turned himself in Toronto cops on Monday.

Molina was charged with assault. Perez is suing for an excess of $25,000.

The celebrity gossip blogger's attorney released this statement:

"Perez Hilton was assaulted by the Band's road manager because he would not agree to stop writing about the Black Eyed Peas on Perezhiton.com."

"Perez Hilton files this lawsuit to protect his freedom of speech against those who physically assaulted him because they do not like his review of their album."

"Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of violence. This lawsuit makes a statement that violence is never the answer."

Polo Molina is being sued by Perez Hilton for his alleged attack on the blogger. The Black Eyed Peas manager is said to have assaulted Hilton during an argument.

Perez Hilton is sad.

After getting his clock cleaned by the manager of the Black Eyed Peas following a war of words outside the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto, Ont., the celebrity gossip blogger is not only bitter at his attacker, but people who don't feel really sorry for him.

While no one condones a violent assault (follow the link to check out the video of the fight), many find it difficult to sympathize with a classless idiot who:

• Clearly relishes the role of instigator.
• Went out of his way to cause trouble, as usual.
• Chose terribly offensive language to provoke someone.

This upsets Perez.

Here are excerpts from his whiny statement:

"Words can hurt. I know that very well, from both sides of the fence."

"I was in an out-of-the ordinary situaton [sic] and used a word that I would not utter under normal circumstances. My intention - however misguided it may have been - was to stand up for myself and tell this belligerent man that I had enough of his badgering and was not going to continue to let him berate and intimidate me. I wanted to hurt him with the word I chose, not anyone else. Unfortunately, the one who got hurt was me and, subsequently, a lot of other people. I wish none of it had happened."

"I've come to terms with all my incongruities and am proud of who I am and what I do. In closing, words can hurt. But words should not provoke someone to violence. Stripped away from the mask of Perez Hilton, I have been extremely bothered by the public reaction to my assault. Violence should never be condoned with such statements as 'It's Karma' or 'I don't believe in violence but…'"

"In fact, several television and radio shows over the past couple of days echoed the sentiment "He had it coming.' Would they have said the same thing if I was a woman? Would I have 'deserved it' if I had been stabbed? Or shot? Or killed?"

"There are many ways to deal with disagreements, both good and bad, but violence is never the answer. Never. I now know that first-hand. It should not be condoned, promoted or accepted. No one 'deserves' to be the victim of violence."

"No one 'has it coming.' NO ONE. And victims should not be ridiculed."

What do you think? Whose side are you on?

Amazingly, the exact instant in which Perez Hilton got punched in the dome during an altercation with the Black Eyed Peas was captured in the photograph below.

The image clearly shows Perez wincing as he was getting socked with a clenched fist, or a nanosecond after the fact. The terrified look on his face tells it all.

It is not clear:

1. Who the fist belongs to (Perez claims the Peas' manager, Polo Molina, threw the punch after the blogger and will.i.am got into an argument in Toronto).
2. Whether that is in fact Lady Gaga on the left.

We've seen the video of the Perez-will.i.am fight after the MuchMusic Awards, now here's the photo taken as heated words escalated into a violent melee:

Guess Perez Hilton wasn't lying about being punched in the head. Whether the pink-haired' one's conduct is to blame for the violent incident is another subject.

The incident ended with the celebrity gossip magnate Tweeting his followers for help, and police eventually arresting Polo Molina for the assault on Hilton.

Perez and will.i.am were allegedly arguing over his coverage of the Black Eyed Peas and his blog when Hilton called will.i.am a f**got, sparking the attack.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is furious at Perez, who is gay, for his use of that slur, and asked that Hilton make an apology.

But now Perez is ticked at GLAAD and says they should apologize.

He said in a statement:

"I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I non-violently dealt with a scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent."

"While I doubt I will get an apology from GLAAD, nor do I expect one, I hope people know how difficult it is to intellectualize a situation and think rationally when a thug disguised as a musician is screaming at your face and intimidating you."

"I am just very fortunate and grateful that nothing more serious happened to me."

Do you sympathize with Perez that the altercation turned violent and he was hit? Or did he deserve what he got? Whose side are you on?

Perez Hilton used the word "f**got" to describe will.i.am during their fight the other night, which the blogger said he did because it would really tick him off.

It worked, and Perez was assaulted by the Black Eyed Peas' manager.

Well, not surprisingly, it appears that will.i.am and his camp were not the only peeps offended by the crass use of the anti-gay slur by Perez (who is gay).

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) says they have asked the most hated man in celebrity gossip to apologize for using the awful word.

Perez must be really busy scrawling sex organs and unfunny comments on various celebrity pictures, because he has yet to respond to the group's request.

Perez Hilton allegedly received a black eye for disturbing the Peas.

GLAAD's statement on the incident - which led to Black Eyed Peas manager Polo Molina being arrested and charged with assault on Hilton, reads:

"We have reached out to Perez Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur, and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story.

"For someone in our own community to use it to attack another human being by saying that it is, quote, 'The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,' is incredibly dangerous."

"It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting these anti-gay attitudes."

Follow the link for a video of the Perez-will.i.am fight, and tell us what you think. Did Perez get what he deserved? Should be apologize? What about the Peas?

Early this morning, an altercation between Perez Hilton and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas led to an arrest - and left both parties steamed and pointing fingers.

Well, a video of the incident that ended with an assault on Perez Hilton has now surfaced - and the blogger clearly be heard calling will.i.am a "f**king f*ggot."

The footage begins in the middle of the verbal altercation outside an after-party for the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto, Ontario. This is moments after Perez says will.i.am went after him like a "heat-seeking missile" and unleashed a verbal tirade.

With a crowd surrounding Perez, will.i.am and the Peas' manager Polo Molina, the guys argue back and forth for about a minute, until Perez tells will.i.am:

"You're not a f**king artist ... you're a f**king f*ggot!"

Classy. The scene suddenly turns chaotic - and in the mess someone punches Perez in the face. Polo Molina was arrested for the alleged assault, for which Hilton initially blamed will.i.am and said he was hit "two or three times."

will.i.am also posted a video blog saying he never hit anyone.

Here's the video of the Perez Hilton-will.i.am altercation ...

Polo Molina, the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas, has turned himself in to Toronto police in conjunction with the fight that left Perez Hilton assaulted.

The Peas were not going to be allowed to leave the country unless the cops got their man, which would have created major problems for their current tour.

Perez Hilton claims Molina assaulted him last night, after the MuchMusic Awards. Molina has been charged with assault, following the blogger's accusations.

In a super-emotional video on his website, Perez is blasting will.i.am as a "coward and a disgusting human being for lying" about the attack this morning.

Polo Molina, left, allegedly beat up Perez Hilton.

The celebrity gossip blogger claims will.i.am and his manager, Polo Molina, followed him outside the club, where Polo punched him in the head "2 or 3 times."

Hilton claims when he got hit, he thought to himself, "I think my eye might be falling out of my head." Perez added this parting shot, in reference to his adversary's story, "God knows it was not a random fan that hit me ... you are a f**king liar."

will.i.am released a video response earlier, claiming he didn't beat Perez.
