Sometimes when you make a post about something, you feel indebted to blog about any major updates in the story. Other times, you find a picture so marvelous you need to find any excuse to use it. So here we are continuing our coverage of Perez Hilton v. Will.i.am: Boom Boom Pow-gate '09.
Of course, gossip powerhouse TMZ has already procured a video of the incident. Perez is clearly caught on tape telling Mr. I.am: "You're not a fucking artist [ed: true]. You're a fucking faggot [ed: not true]." The actual violence, allegedly Black Eyed Peas manager Polo Molina punching Perez, isn't clear, but based on crowd reaction, Gawker has dubbed it a total slap fight.
But wait -- it gets better. GLAAD, a leading gay rights group, is now demanding an apology from Hilton for using the anti-gay remark.
Hilton, of course, is indignant.
"I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I non-violently dealt with a very scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent," Hilton said. "While I doubt I will get an apology from GLAAD, nor do I expect one, I would just 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."
Yes, Perez, please let the world know about the danger of thug-dressed-as-musician-on-gossip-blogger violence. It truly is one of our greatest national concerns. And I don't want to get to PC here, and maybe it's just because I went to "Thug U," but isn't thug pretty much a racially loaded term now? Whatever.
Now with all of that squared away, may we never blog about this again.
