Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is sporting a black eye - and he claims he got it from a black eye - Hilton posted repeated updates to his Twitter account after being assaulted at MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada on Sunday night, claiming that Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am was behind the attack.
Hilton wrote: "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... The Toronto police are here now... The police are investigating the assault now. I did the right thing by reporting it... I won't be talking about this any further. It is in the hands of the authorities."
The singer was quick to respond, posting a video message on his own website, claiming he merely spoke to the blogger after Hilton made "disrespectful" comments about his Black Eyed Peas bandmate Fergie.

He says, "So I go up to him and say, 'Hey, can you do me a favour, Perez?... Can you not be so blatantly rude to our group on your website? That's just wrong - you don't have to be disrespectful.' He said, 'I don't respect you.' I was like, 'What? Ok, if you don't respect me that's cool.'
"This dude walks away and I leave and then he says, 'That was very f**got of you for coming at me like that.'... So this dude says in front of a whole bunch of people, 'You're a f**got, will.i.am!' So I'm like, 'Wow, whatever.' So he walks away and then one of the fans gets all crazy and starts on Perez Hilton. I'm just sitting there minding my own business waiting for a car. But it just shows you how crazy things can get. It's not that serious."
According to WENN, police are currently investigating the incident.
