Mon 22 Jun 2009 In: International News View at Wayback

Well-known gay gossip blogger Perez Hilton is now sporting a black eye, which he claims is the result of a run-in with hip-hopper Will.i.am. of the Black Eyed Peas. Black-eyed blogger: Perez Hilton But Will.i.am says he's lying, explaining that the blogger had started an argument with him, then a fan went "a little crazy". "I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards," said Hilton via Twitter.com after a music awards ceremony in Toronto. "I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke." Will.I.am responded via a video message: "Whatever. I hit you Perez? Come on, dude. I didn't hit you. I told you that I didn't like the fact that you disrespected us. It's cool to have your opinion but dude, apparently you were bleeding outside the club. I was like next to you by a tree waiting for my car. Instead of calling the police you twitted that I assaulted you. "Sounds like somebody wants mad attention and is not really concerned about his health," he continued. "I didn't hit you and this is very wrong that you are twitting that I did that, once again disrespecting me and everything that I stand for. And they're lies. And that's wrong. Shame on you. Shame on your behavior. And that's just messed up. Peace." Hilton concluded the night with another Twitter message: "I won't be talking about this any further. It is in the hands of the authorities."
