VancouverSun.comPerez Hilton attack: Hollywood laughs at blogger after will.i.am fracas
Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz jumped into the fray, posting "Perez Hilton, how do you call a man a f----t right in his face and not expect to get hit?"
Singer John Mayer added, "Perez Hilton's video statement is so long that by the end of it his cut healed."
Kirstie Alley has been victim of more than a few attacks by Hilton on his blog. She seemingly couldn't be happier that Hilton got whacked, saying, "will.i.am? You am... my new hero.. Smack!!! Wah wah wah... ouch.. ouch my eye... ouch ouch ouch call 911... ouch boo hoo... ouch."
She later followed that with a post saying, "Stop with the freakin 'are you condoning violence' s--t. Violence comes in many forms, not just black eyes. This b--ch's tongue spews violence."
New Kids on the Block singer Jonathan Knight chimed in, saying, "Haha, b---ch! A bag of frozen peas always works wonders when you get sucka punched in the eye," adding later, "This is the best day ever."
Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes tweeted, "Will.I.Am- 1, Perez-0, It's about f--king time."
Reality TV star and online phenomenon Tila Tequila dove in with more; "I find it ironic that Perez talks s--t about people all day long. He calls people f-----t yet bashes Miss California. Perez Hilton is a b--ch."
Singer Kelly Clarkson said on a YouTube video, "I don't think violence is the answer, but what did you expect? You can't say that much crap about people without being able to take something, so .... I'm surprised it hasn't happened already .... I'm thinking how much did will.i.am pay his manager to do that (laughs) because you know he wanted to."
Josh Duhamel, the husband of Black Eyed Peas member Fergie, who was abused by Hilton in one of his video rants after the incident, told Entertainment Tonight, "When you get rich saying hateful things sometimes you ask for it. It's an unfortunate incident and I hope it goes away."
Comedian and UFC colour commentator Joe Rogan wanted a chance to take his own shot at Hilton after watching his video: "It makes you want to smack him. He talks shit about people for a living and gets upset when karma rolls in."
Local celebrities also chimed in, with Urban Rush's Fiona Forbes posting "Dear @perezhilton, Violence is never the answer, but neither is calling someone a derogatory name for a gay person nor a woman 'fugly'."
Some celebrities came to Hilton's defense. Burlesque star and model Dita von Teese tweeted, "Criticism is part of the biz & it hurts. But NO HITTING." She added, "I'm working on my new show, which I am sure someone will say sucks & might call me a talentless slut, but I won't punch anyone 4 it."
Meanwhile, the non-famous of Twitter are doing their part by launching a petition to have Hilton removed as a Teen Choice Awards 2009 nominee.
The details surrounding the incident that caused all of this online unrest have become clearer in the last 24 hours, as celebrity gossip site TMZ acquired video footage of the incident in question.
According to reports, will.i.am approached Hilton to ask him to lay off Fergie on his blog, but Hilton quickly began yelling in the rapper's face, at one point calling him an anti-gay slur. will.i.am didn't punch Hilton, but his manager, Liborio "Polo" Molina has been accused of laying a shot to the blogger's jaw, mid-rant.
Hilton then used his cellphone to send Twitter posts asking fans to call 911 for him, and later posted an 11 minute video rant in which he yelled obscenities to all involved, and some who weren't.
"I'm in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please," he tweeted, seemingly forgetting that his cellphone could be used to dial 911. He later posted, "The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them."
"Sounds like someone wants mad attention and isn't really concerned about his health," said Will.i.am after the incident.
Upon seeing the number of people Twittering glee at his misfortune, Hilton posted, "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."

I still can't believe the shithead tweeted for help instead of just calling 911 (although, being that he's such a disgusting attention seeker, I can
understand why he did that).

He loves all the attention he is getting from this. Celebs speaking out on him will just drive more people to his site. |

I love Josh Duhamel and his civilised answer like Perez hasn't gone after the man's wife.

What do they mean some celebrities backed him up? Dita is the only one who did.
