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.”

Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, is currently in Toronto where he attended Sunday night’s MuchMusic Awards.

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."

The singer, 34, then posted a video response where he detailed the night’s events.

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."

“It’s one thing to tell your opinion and it’s another thing to just go overboard and just be blatantly rude for no apparent reason,” Will.i.am said.

After the argument, both men found themselves at the same afterparty where a second argument ensued outside.

“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.

According to the singer, the blogger’s derogatory remark upset one of the nearby fans who “get all crazy” and began to “start some stuff with Perez Hilton.”

In a second video posting, Will.i.am denies the assault and belittles the blogger for using Twitter to get help.

“Sounds like somebody wants mad attention and is not really concerned about his health,” Will.i.am said.

“Shame on you, shame on your behavior, and that’s just messed up."

Yeah, I love that he tweets for the police and then is surprised that they don't arrive. That is the DUMBEST shit I have ever heard. Perez, your phone also works as a phone!

[DitaPage*]

So he did beat his arse then?


Tweeting 911 is fucking HILARIOUS. Come on... that's pathetic! If you go to Perez Twitter he can't shut up about it.

Dude, I have no idea what's the number for emergency in Canada.

I only know that I have to press 9 on my mobile in case something happens.

“Sounds like somebody wants mad attention and is not really concerned about his health,” Will.i.am said.

Agreed. If somebody attacked you why would you 1) write about it on Twitter instead of calling the cops, and 2) make a video to bitch about it, but not go to the cops and file a report.

[SVZ]

he did call the police, and they said they had to deal with other emergencies..so he twitter'd about it

Oh,my. I could only take a couple of minutes. Still,that was mean. Someone over there said it was not Will I.Am,but the manager of BEP that did it. Was not cool,I just thought Perez could get to the point quicker.

[SVZ]

look i'm not defending him, but toronto police are notoriously slow..

just recently a shop keeper in china town captured a thief, he called the cops..who took over 4 hours to arrive..

they then arrested the shopkeeper for restraining a man, and let the thief go free!!!

[greysfang]

Stupid bs. They obviously didn't beat him bad enough if he can still bitch and moan.
