She was kissing his ugly face lately and hanging out with the jerk all over that night. I have no respect for her or any celeb who hangs out with this jerk when he kicks their colleagues around. That goes for Christina Agulaira too. How disgusting that other celebs gave this creep who rips some of them to shreds a big birthday bash.

I think maybe if he even seemed to be considering that it was his use of the word that caused him to get hit rather than his claim that his criticism of their album was the provocation it'd be a bit different.

Good lord I hope so. Why do people think this? The only way he'd end is if he was somehow banned from the internet. SO unless he chooses to stop, not gonna happen. Umm not really. This loser shithead has been getting more and more celebrity status from his hateful career. He was a judge at Miss Universe and also presenting at what is the equlivalent of the Canadian Grammy awards. The MuchMusic Video Awards are hardly the equivalent of the Grammys--more like the MTV Video Awards. The Junos are like The Grammys. Having said that, he's a piece of shit who deserves to go back to the pool of ooze from whence he came. That's good that the foundation rejected his donation instead of selling out and associating themselves with this jerk.

Him donating could just mean he sees the err of his ways and wants to do better, to make amends. Basically all I'm saying is money is money and if it could help the organization, why not just take it? I'm all about taking a stand, but I just feel like any charity that he is willing to donate to, even as a private citizen, would hopefully assist them into filtering the "bad" money for good and most of all, honorable reasons. Which is why the foundation was started. he called dude a fag.. the organization is against the use of the word.. and while he may be all sorry about it now.. and sincerely wants to make amends.. it doesn't take away the fact he did the exact thing they are trying to stop. them accepting the money would be like sayin' its ok to lash out in anger once or twice, as long as you're sorry about it afterwards and make a donation. that's ridiculous..

Exactly, although it's a foundation that needs money, taking money from someone who just wants to clear his name is not the way to do it. Everyone know that Perez is only offering the money to them because he thinks it's going to make everything go away.

It doesn't help that he didn't even discuss this with them before he stated he would give them the money. He just assumed they would be ok with it because it's money and all foundations need money. And while that is true, it isn't everything. That foundation of for their son and everything they stand for in regard to violence -- verbal and physical. I don't blame them for refusing his money. It doesn't even come across as sincere anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if they felt the same way.

I always think it is weird when a gay person uses derogatory terms. And is will.I.am gay? Why? Black people call each other the "N" word and it's no big deal to some of them. Um. No. They're using a differen't version of the N word. Trying to take something white people used as an insult and turn it into their own thing. They take the negative power out of the word when they change it and use it as something friendly to each other. (I can't quite word it right, but you get what I'm saying.) When Perez called Will.I.Am the F word, he was saying it in a mean way. The word originally was for something you light on fire to start a larger fire and became a crule word for gay people because they used to set gay people on fire like they did when they thought someone was a witch. So basically when you're being nasty to someone and you call them the F word, it's like saying you hate them so much you wish they whould be set on fire. Just like if you use the original N word in a hateful way it would be like saying you think that person is beneath you and therefore should be treated like shit. It's not cool.

Why would they take it? he's making money from something that he started by calling someone a name that was used against their son prior to his beating and DEATH. By taking his money it would be as if they were saying... Call anyone anything you want, but make sure you put money behind it. They would be going completely against everything they have worked for, for the past 10 years (as she said in the statement).

Black people are trying to claiming ownership of the N-word and make it some "term of endearment" and it isn't. I will never understand why want that word to be ok by saying it every 5 minutes and then get pissed when someone else says it --- and not even in a hateful way. Like their white boy friend saying trying to be "hood". I stood on the train by 3 boys that said the N word after every other word out there mouth. I kid you not. That shit aint cute. And there was an elderly Black man beside me getting more pissed and pissed with each stop. See unlike those boys, I am sure he actually felt the real meaning of that word and they just looked at him like whatever. Boggles the damn mind.

I just think the Shepard's don't want to be apart of Perez Hilton's attempt at some good PR and I don't blame them. He is attempting to use their son and their work and they would rather he not.
