			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8440" title="perez-hilton2-top" src="http://www.365gay.com/wp-content/uploads/perez-hilton2-top-300x200.jpg" alt="perez-hilton2-top" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Writing about Perez Hilton, the dirty mouth of Hollywood, makes me want to shower to get the grime off. So this is it for me. Unless I hear Hilton is producing a bio-pic on <a href="http://www.pbs.org/jazz/biography/artist_id_young_lester.htm"><strong>Lester Young</strong></a>, I&#8217;m finished. While he likes to be the center of any party, his ego will not suffer from my embargo. People know the name Perez Hilton. You only say mine  if you are looking for fries with your meal.<span id="more-8439"></span></p>
<p>Hilton got a good cover spread in the most recent <a href="http://www.advocate.com/issue_story_ektid92886.asp"><strong>Advocate</strong></a>. He talks about his affinity with Madonna and Oprah, his run-in with Will.I.Am  how much he despises dishonesty, that his calling is a civil rights leader(!) blah, blah, blah. When  he talks about the aftermath of the Toronto <a href="http://www.365gay.com/blog/062309-perez-hilton-gets-a-beat-down/"><strong>drama</strong></a>, Hilton offers platitudes that would shame any self respecting Lifetime movie writer.</p>
<p>&#8220;But       what’s come out of all of             this is that I’ve learned so much about myself,             and I’m in a much better place. I’m actually             thankful that it happened.       As cheesy as it may sound,             I had almost a spiritual moment when I just       let all of             the anger and worry go and am now filled with peace,             happiness, and wisdom.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aside from that drippy and silly mess, Hilton also says he wanted to call Will.I.Am something else.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought about calling him the n word, but I thought the f word was even worse. I was so filled with hate at that moment because I was hated on so much, and I reacted in the worst way possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>So instead of nigger, Hilton went for faggot? Jeesh, is there a reason to even be surprised? This is a guy who is certain calling <a href="http://www.365gay.com/news/palin-defends-miss-calif-from-malicious-attacks/"><strong>Carrie Prejean</strong></a> a female dog has nothing to do with his sexism because he just adores women. Short history lesson Ms. Hilton: America gave gold medalist <a href="http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/profiles/bio_uk.asp?PAR_I_ID=86364"><strong>Jesse Owens</strong></a> a ticker-tape parade when he returned from Munich in 1936, but he still had to sit in the back of the bus. I have this silly habit of looking for more than bigoted taunting from someone who considers his vocation civil rights. I can get name calling from a few  Chicago <a href="http://www.365gay.com/blog/t-shirt-retailers-using-homophobia-to-make-money/"><strong>t-shirts</strong></a> thank you very much.</p>
<p>This &#8220;thinking&#8221;should not  surprise coming from a guy who just wants to be sure his name is mentioned. Well I&#8217;ve done it for the last time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Los Angeles) Perez Hilton struck back Wednesday with a civil lawsuit filed against the Black Eyed Peas manager accused of hitting him outside a Toronto nightclub.</p>
<p>The celebrity blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, sued the Peas&#8217; road manager in Los Angeles for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is seeking unspecified damages of more than $25,000.</p>
<p>The suit states Hilton is seeking to protect his rights to free speech and claims Polo Molina attacked him because he made critical comments about the Black Eyed Peas&#8217; new album. Molina was arrested in Toronto early Monday after he allegedly punched Hilton following a heated argument between the blogger and Black Eyed Peas leader will.i.am.</p>
<p>An e-mail sent to the group&#8217;s publicist was not immediately returned Wednesday. Molina is due to appear in court Aug. 5.</p>
<p>&#8220;Perez Hilton was assaulted by the band&#8217;s road manager because he would not agree to stop writing about the Black Eyed Peas on his Web site Perezhilton.com,&#8221; Bryan Freedman, Hilton&#8217;s lawyer, said in a statement. &#8220;Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of physical violence. This lawsuit will make the statement that violence is never the answer.&#8221;</p>
<p>The lawsuit details the events leading up to Molina&#8217;s alleged attack on the blogger.</p>
<p>The complaint states Black Eyed Peas vocalist Fergie approached Hilton on Saturday and asked why he was writing &#8220;mean&#8221; things about her and the group. Hilton replied that he was &#8220;simply being honest and truthful about his opinions of them,&#8221; according to the lawsuit.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Hilton claims he was pushed by an unidentified member of the Black Eyed Peas&#8217; entourage, who &#8220;slammed his shoulder into Hilton&#8217;s shoulder and thereafter pushed him.&#8221;</p>
<p>The lawsuit claims Fergie again approached him at an afterparty for the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday night and that his argument with will.i.am happened at another party. The lawsuit claims the blogger was trying to leave that party when Molina punched him at least three times.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lavandeira sustained injury to his eye and was bleeding as a result of this violent and malicious attack,&#8221; the lawsuit claims.</p>
<p>His damage claims include medical costs and damages due to &#8220;humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress.&#8221; The lawsuit also claims that Molina is on probation in California for a drunken driving conviction under his real name, Liborio Molina.</p>
<p>Hilton, who is openly gay, said Monday that he called will.i.am a &#8220;faggot,&#8221; a gay slur, inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his Web site.</p>
<p>He posted about the attack on the popular microblogging site Twitter on Monday, and has since rejected a call by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to apologize for using the term.</p>
<p>The Black Eyed Peas&#8217; newest album, &#8220;The E.N.D,&#8221; has proved popular, ranking No. 1 on last week&#8217;s Billboard magazine&#8217;s charts for R&amp;B/Hip-Hop albums. Singles from the album have also proved popular in other rankings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8183" title="perez-hilton-top" src="http://www.365gay.com/wp-content/uploads/perez-hilton-top-300x200.jpg" alt="perez-hilton-top" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s give Perez Hilton a standing ovation. With Carrie Prejean now on the conservative chicken dinner <a href="http://www.365gay.com/news/donald-trump-ousts-prejean-as-miss-california/"><strong>circuit</strong></a>, Hilton needed another enemy to keep his name in the press. So he quickly dumped his status as spokesperson for gay marriage and now will be the poster boy for anti-gay violence. <span id="more-8179"></span></p>
<p>Hilton got into an altercation with Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas in Toronto. Hilton, who made a video describing the whole evening, decided to throw an anti-gay epithet at the singer and got smacked by the band&#8217;s manager. Last time I <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/abraham/detail?entry_id=42206"><strong>checked</strong></a> Polo Molina, the guy accused of the assault, turned himself in to the Toronto police.</p>
<p>Because this is a Hilton story, it is a mess of drama. Hilton says he was with Lady Gaga when all of this happened, but as of now she has not said anything about the early morning fracas. After he was allegedly hit, Hilton made sure his pleas for police assistance were on his Twitter page, like any good media <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">whore </span>professional would. Finally, Hilton&#8217;s video describing what happened is the funniest thing I&#8217;ve seen since Dave Chappelle walked away from his show. The hysterics. The tears. The emotion. The bromides against violence. Someone give the man an award for this performance art.</p>
<p>If Molina is guilty of hitting the Hilton, the band&#8217;s manager needs to be punished. We all can agree on that. Yet, Hilton&#8217;s choice to throw out the f word indicates all I need to know. Oh, yeah he&#8217;ll go on and on and on about gay rights and such but has no problem with using a gay slur if it means money in his purse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Toronto) Celebrity blogger and open gay man Perez Hilton alleges that he was assaulted Sunday night by a manager for the hip-hop group the Black Eyed Peas after the Much Music Video awards in Toronto.</p>
<p>Toronto police have made an arrest in response to an assault that happened at 3 a.m. in a downtown Toronto club. The victim of the assault, who was not named, suffered minor injuries following the incident, said Toronto Police Constable Tony Vella.</p>
