The punch heard round the world

God, I do love a good action shot. The pap who scored this should get a bonus on top of what he got paid...

To catch you up in case you didn't know already. Mr. Sassy Pants, Perez Hilton, got into fisticuffs with Will.i.am -- who apparently had all he could stand and could not stand it no more. The two had some words outside a nightclub, Perez unleashed the "f" word (and not the four letter one) on Wills and well, that's when it got ugly... Now, GLAAD's involved, and well... it's just one big hot mess.

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton took to his Twitter account early today to ask his followers for help after he says he was assaulted by Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am and his security guards. Shortly after 3 a.m., Hilton sent a barrage of tweets about the alleged attack. “I'm in shock. I need the police ASAP,” Hilton tweeted. “Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.” He continues, “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.”...

After several more tweets for help, Hilton, 31, thanked his concerned followers, including Miley Cyrus, and asked them to stop calling the Toronto Police. One hour later, Will.i.am created a Twitter account of his own “because it isn’t cool for someone to blame you and blast you with lies."... According to the singer, the disagreement began at the Ultra Supper Club where the blogger “disrespected” Will.i.am’s bandmate Fergie and said he didn’t like their new album, "The E.N.D."... “I was the one that came to him with respect, and he was the one who called me a f----- outside the club," Will.i.am said of the openly gay blogger.

I think the most disturbing thing about that article is learning that Miley Cyrus is "friends" with Perez Hilton... If he's not ragging on that toothy brat then he's not an equal opportunity employer. Can't have your cake and eat it, too, Perez.
