Sometimes you help create the news - and other times you are the news! That's where the godfather of gossip blogs, Perez Hilton, has found himself today. Apparently there was a scuffle between Hilton and security detail from The Black Eyed Peas. I already find this story a bit odd; compounded by the fact that Perez didn't call 911 and instead choose to Twitter about his condition, relying on followers to get the police to his hotel. Here are the details: 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.
Will.i.am created his own Twitter account a few hours later
to respond to Perez's allegations:
i just made a twitter account because it isnt cool for
someone to blame you and blast you with lies...]
The incident was allegedly borne from an insult Perez made about band member, Fergie. Click here for more details, including video responses from both Hilton and Will.i.am. It's so difficult to write "Hilton" without immediately conjuring up images of sleazy Paris. What a crazy day it's been, thus far...
