“Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in triumph?”

Robert Browning
English poet (1812 - 1889)

Famous celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, claimed to be assaulted by Will.I.Am, frontman of the Black Eyed Peas, and his security guards after attending the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada on Sunday (June 21).

Perez chose Twitter to ask for help. He tweeted a series of messages for his fans to call the police because apparently it was taking them too long to get there or Perez was more worried about tweeting than reporting~the incident to Canadian authorities.

Perez Hilton via Twitter:

“I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.”
“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. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here.”
“The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them.”
“Thank u all from the bottom of my heart for ur concern. 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.”

Will.I.Am knew nothing about what was going on and claims Perez is a liar. Will created a twitter account and posted a video explaining his version of the events (watch video here). I don’t know what to think but this could be just a publicity stunt!?! What do you think?
