A grateful Hollywood watches aftermath of Perez punch

by John Scott Lewinski, posted Jun 23rd 2009 4:28PM
Perez Hilton got punched out -- but not by Miss California.Perez Hilton says he got a black eye from The Black Eyed Peas.

According to shrill gossip blogger and almost celebrity Hilton, the manager of the Black Eyed Peas planted a "boom boom pow" in Perez's puss this weekend. That roar you almost heard was grateful, repressed applause coming out of Hollywood.

A faux journalist (nee: rumor mongering hack), Hilton jumped onto the TV viewers' radar last month when he served as a judge for the Miss USA Pageant and started a war of words with Miss California over her stance in gay marriage.

Hilton is not a favorite of many stars and their publicists in Los Angeles and New York. While it's not politically correct for anyone in or out of show business to embrace public violence, there are undoubtedly showbiz pros smirking a bit when the cameras are off.

Reportedly, the Black-Eyed blow-up started when Hilton got into a hissing match with founding band member Will.i.am. During the scuffle, Hilton allegedly used a gay slur against the musician and actor -- providing irony of nuclear proportions when you consider how Hilton led the campaign to knock the crown from Miss California's head.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation -- who watched Hilton's march on Miss California a month ago -- now wants Hilton to apologize for his evident hate speech.

Will.i.am, you are my hero. This celebrity wannabe is a puss who probably hasn't cried this much since they discontinued cheerleader Barbie. Go grow a pair, Perez.

Mario Lavandeira AKA Perez Hilton is a really screwed up mess. It's too bad that the press gives him so much attention because like his subjects (Paris, Brittney, et al) he craves the attention just as much if not more.

Plus, he gives gay people and anyone on the left a bad name with his radical behavior. Thus giving the right wing bat sh*t crazy Fundamentalist Christians more ammunition with his antics.

this is such a funny story.

Full disclosure: I read Perez b/c he usually has the most recent gossip (he's no Michael K from Dlisted but hey, who is!). I think he's a tool, but an incredibly smart marketing tool. and yeah celebs do contact him when they have something to promote (see Victoria Beckham when she had that reality show). He is too over the top sometimes, and incredibly juvenile. However, if you're a celeb and have chosen to be in the spotlight like Fergie has, you have to expect some media criticism, even if it is incredibly immature like Perez.

REGARDLESS, the point of my post is that I don't really care who was right and who was wrong here. I'm just LMAO because instead of calling 911 himself, from his sidekick, he TWEETED to his followers for THEM to call 911, from his sidekick. That is so short-bus of him!

This modern American usage you refer to also uses 'see:' or 'read:' or 'aka.' and they're all more correct.

'née' only means 'AKA' in the context of changed names, not job titles. It gives the real name of the person in question. There are subtly different uses for all of them that should be preserved instead of 'Modern blah blah' cop-out face saving gestures.

Perez cried about that tiny little scratch for 11 minutes. I don't feel bad for him. I heard his side of the story, and I have to say that he could've handled it way better. Instead of kissing ass and then going back and calling will.i.am a derogatory name in an attempt to incite him further, he should've just calmly said, "I'm sorry if I offended you but I'm not going to change my views to appease you." And then he should've walked away like a GROWN MAN. Perez needs to learn that he's not in high school anymore. He needs to grow up, stop acting like an idiot, and stop whining. He was crying the whole time about how "something like this should NEVER happen to a HUMAN BEING!" It was actually pretty funny. I'm 100 percent pro-gay rights, and I think he is a terrible representative of the gay community. My best friend is gay and he can't stand Perez. Why would he call will.i.am a gay slur when he calls people out for that stuff all the time?

Modern American usage of "nee" includes AKA. Thanks.

While we're making corrections, I'm not sure what you think "née" means, but it's the French singular feminine form of "born" and refers to a birth name. The masculine form is "né".

Perez Hilton (né Mario Lavandeira) is a faux journalist (i.e., a rumor-mongering hack).
