Will.I.Am performed with Nicki Minaj at the MTV Video Music Awards for their pre-show, donning “blackface”. Some commented that he set African Americans back 200 years, while others didn’t see what the big deal was.

He took to his Twitter account to say this in his own defense:

“1st. just because I where all black including head mask as expression and emphasize my outfit, it shouldn’t be looked at as racial… Let go of the past. there are far more important things 2 bark about. (Jobs, health, education) not a black man wearing all black everything. Are you guys serious? my outfit set “black people back 100 yrs” choose your twits wisely. no education sets people back, no jobs, bad health.”

Good for him! I couldn’t have said that better myself!

Rumors were flying that Fergie was set to break away from the Black Eyed Peas. Reportedly, she and Will.I.Am had been having arguments and Fergie was saying that she wanted to start a family with husband, Josh Duhamel.

Will took to his official Twitter account to talk about the rumors. He tweeted, “Don’t belive gossip about fergie leaving the group (we are never breaking up) its all lies!!!”

Are you glad they’re not breaking up? I wish Fergie would do another solo album, though, because Big Girls Don’t Cry is still my favorite song by her.

Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas is speaking out against verbal and physical abuse and basically states that he does not, nor has ever, condoned any type of violence.

Check out his official statement with regard to the Toronto incident involving celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton:

I will not continue to comment specifically on the incident that happened in Toronto last weekend… But I would hate for my silence to be misconstrued… I do not condone harassment or violence of any kind…

No one deserves physical abuse…
And no one deserves verbal abuse…
No one deserves that…

Everyone needs to be respected…
And no ones name should be slandered in the name of hate and disrespect…
And fyi…”not every black man is a thug”… (continue reading…)

It’s round two (or three?) in the battle between celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas. More specifically, Lavandeira is now suing the Peas’ manager, Polo Molina, in a civil suit filed today.

Lavandeira is suing for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is seeking unspecified damages in excess of $25,000. In the suit, Lavandeira is reportedly seeking to protect his rights to free speech and claims that Molina attacked him because he made critical comments about the Black Eyed Peas’ new album.

Kelly Clarkson did an interview for 99.9 Virgin Radio in Toronto, when the interviewer, Billie Holiday, asks her if she’s heard anything about the Will.I.Am/Perez stuff.

Kelly responds, “You know, I’ve only heard hearsay this morning in interviews. I wasn’t there last night, so I didn’t hear anything last night…but, yeah, somebody punched somebody.”

Billie says, “Yeah, Will.I.Am’s manager has just been charged now with assault for punching Perez. We had him on this morning – Perez.”

Kelly says, “I’ve gotta be honest with you, he’s going to get a lot of flowers. I’m not talking about Perez, I mean the manager. I’m not saying that violence is the answer, but what did you expect? You can’t say that much crap about people and not be able to take something.” (continue reading…)

Perez Hilton took to his official Twitter page last night to say that he was searching for a place to hang out with Lady Gaga that was safe. Afterward, he tweeted that he was assaulted by Black Eyed Peas member, Will.I.Am.

It was found that he was actually assaulted by the Peas’ manager, Polo Molina.

Check out the fuzzy video of the incident: (continue reading…)
