Police have charged the tour manager of the Black Eyed Peas with assault after he allegedly punched celebrity blogger Perez Hilton outside a Toronto nightclub.
Hilton said he got into an argument with band members Fergie and will.i.am at the Cobra nightclub early Monday morning and was punched outside by Polo Molina, the band’s tour manager. They were at the club following a Sunday night video awards show.
Molina turned himself in and has been charged with assaulting Hilton, Toronto Police Constable Tony Vella said. Molina is due in court Aug. 5.
Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, complained about the incident on the microblogging site Twitter. He tweeted at 4 a.m.: “I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.”
Hilton, who is openly gay, said in interview with The Associated Press that he called will.i.am a “faggot,” a gay slur, inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his Web site.
“He was like ‘You need to respect me.’ He was in my face. He was obviously trying to intimidate me and scare me,” Hilton said. “I was like ‘I don’t need to respect you. I don’t respect you and I did say this, and I knew that it would be the worst thing I could possibly say to him because he was acting the way he was. I said ‘You know what, I don’t respect you and you’re gay and stop being such a faggot.’”
Will.i.am said in a video posting on dip.dive.com that he came to Hilton with respect and was called a “faggot.”
Hilton, who was at the club with Lady Gaga, said he then left the club and was punched from behind. The pop stars and the blogger were among celebrities in Toronto for the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday night.
A spokeswoman for the Black Eyed Peas declined comment.

Celebrity jail mugs
Who made this moron the official mouthpiece for gay and lesbian people? This idiot goes around looking for trouble, all under the guise of trumpeting gay rights. The more we cover his antics, the more power it gives him. Ignore this fool please. He speaks only for himself.
too bad Hilton didn’t get his fingers and tongue removed so we would never have to hear about or from him again!
Punched in the back of the head?
I believe he was Donkey Punched
If we ignore this idiot do you think he’ll go away? Who the hell is he and how did he get this celeb status anyway? Just what talent does he have exactly? We all know he’s a gay bigot who hates women and straight people but I suppose that’s acceptable in this crazy world we live in these days.
If I met him I’d punch him in his annoying face too, only he wouldn’t be able to talk or twitter for quite a while after.
Perez Hilton started the whole situation, just like he instigated the flap for Miss California because he didn’t agree with her opinion. He can shoot his mouth off, but then when people fight back to defend themselves, he starts calling foul. The only thing he has is a big mouth – I’m glad he got decked – someone finally gave him what he deserves.
Hahahahaha. I guess he should stick to talking shit behind his computer and not out in the streets.
I am not defending anyone on this but let me get this straight…
he can call people a faggot and think it’s ok but a “non” faggot says it and it’s wrong.
Ok, just checking.
It’s idiots like Perez that hold back the gay and lesbian movement in this country. Who would ever respect something like that??
Perez Hilton needs to be bitch slapped all the way to the curb. This bone head goes around looking for it just so he can get his ugly face in the news. He alone is worse than a bunch of gossiping old ladies. In fact, most gay guys like Hilton are worse than a bunch of 15 year old “Heathers”. Hilton gives all gays a bad name. They should shut him up. He is NOT a good representation for the cause, if that’s their case. He does more to hurt gay rights than anything else. His only concern is for his own pathetic notoriety. What an ass.
It’s about time someone let this moron have it!
He is a joke and needs not to be put in the spot light so much! He is a nobody tryin to be somebody with his gay loud mouth disrepectful ways. This is not good entertainment people this is TRASH and he is getting paid to do this stuff. SICK WORLD WE LIVE IN when someone like him makes money for Nothing but foolishness!
Too bad the guy didn’t have brass knuckles on and knocked out some of his jizz stained teeth.
I’ve been waiting for somebody to kick the crap out of this kook. I would love to do it myself, although I’d have to be careful not to punch him in his filthy mouth, I’m sure its pretty contaminated
It’s about time someone takes a swipe at this toilet film… he sits back and highlights the misfortunes of others… the day is coming where he will be begging for someone to bail him out. He has very little talent… if any. Someone will knock him off his perch, and wipe that cheser cat smile off of his face.
Omgosh, I love the manager for doing so. Perez has way to much of an ego for someone who only got famous talking about others. Man has no talent.
Let’s pass the hat and get up a collection to have someone treat this mouthy assbandit to a proper beat down.
