Perez vs. Will.I.Am -- CAUGHT ON TAPE

TMZ has just obtained video footage of the heated confrontation between Perez Hilton and Will.I.Am -- in which Perez can clearly be heard calling the Black Eyed Pea a "f**king f*ggot."



The footage begins in the middle of the verbal altercation outside an after-party for a music award show in Toronto -- moments after Hilton claims Will went after him like a "heat-seeking missile" and unleashed a verbal tirade at him.

With a crowd surrounding Perez, Will and Will's manager, Polo -- the guys argue back and forth for about a minute, until Perez tells Will, "you're not a f**king artist ... you're a f**king f*ggot."

The scene suddenly turns chaotic -- and in the mess someone punches Perez in the face.

On a video blog on his website, Hilton claims Will's manager hit him "two or three times."

Will also posted a video blog saying he never hit anyone.

46. This is in line with Perez's statement.......word for word.

How can ANYONE side with the Black Eyed Peas on this?!?! There is NO justification for violence EVER.

47. Perez is SO nasty. He's a troublemaker. Calling Will.I.Am a f%*@#t?? If someone called HIM that, we would've heard about it for years (like the Miss California thing), yet it's okay for him to call someone that?? Puke. Too bad the security guard didn't really hurt him!

48. GLAAD SHOULD MAKE PEREZ APOLOGIZE...OR THEY'RE JUSTBEING HYPOCRITES TOO!!!

49. If ANYONE other than Perez Hilton had used the word "f**got", GLAAD would be practically declaring World War III as they demanded an apology. Being gay should not exempt him from being called out for using hateful, homophobic slurs. But, then, what am I saying? His entire website is devoted to attacking heterosexual men, accusing them of being gay if they stand within ten feet of another man. He is using gay as a weapon, and is single-handedly making gay people look like a bunch of vicious, crude, crazed mercenaries. He is making people hate us even more than they all ready do. I think I speak for most gay men, myself included, when I say I do NOT want that hypocritical cow as my spokesperson. GO AWAY, Mario!

50. I don't think he meant to use the word fag as a gay reference. To me, if I call someone a fag its bc I think they're a coward. He had no right to come up to him and start yelling at him about Fergie. The girl can sing but she looks like a tweaked out tranny!

51. This is exactly why I stopped visiting Perez Hilton, he's ignorant and an hypocrite. I was a loyal fan of his site until he refused to show or even address the Paris Hilton tape with her and Nikki using every racial and sexual slur possible (which I wasted a good 30 minutes of my life watching) but at the same time was calling for the resignation of Isaiah Washington (who I agree is an idiot) when he used just one of the many that came of Paris' mouth. His message boards were full of people asking him to address that but he never did, I gave him a week to talk about it, and when he didn't I became a loyal TMZ fan....who at least addressed both issues at the same time and I've never been back to his site.

52. My two cents worth: Perez is Perez. He changes for n o o n e Love him or hate him, he is rather okay with your opinion.

Will.I.Am...I thought...was someone aspiring to contribute to our little planet on a bigger level. He steps out of the music industry to demonstrate he is more than a Black Eye Pea or a producer, and that he wants to make the world (or at least his country) a better place. So why is Mr. I.Am lurking around Toronto at night, getting into people's faces and demanding 'Respect'?

And Polo, dude...sucker punch? That's so not cool.

Poor little millionaires with too much money. They need a support group.

53. wait..i am confused. isn't perez the last person in this altercation to have male genetalia in his mouth and other orafices?

that would make him a f**king *fa**ot. i hate william but perez is so much worse...next time just finish the job

54. I'M GAY, AND PEREZ DOES NOT REPRESENT ME !!
PEREZ is an egotistical, self-serving idiot. HE, like CLAY AIKEN & RICHARD SIMMONS, is an embarrassment to us gays.

55. Haha, no one gayer than Perez in hollyhood. The stupidity of him to say something like that is mind numbing. He is a loser and needs to go back to his real name. You just lost your SXSW privilages for 2010, douchbag.

58. The F word is supposed to be in the gay world as offensive as the N word to African Americans. How this screaming queen can use the word so blatantly try to to upset the B E P entourage. If he has the balls to step into someones face with that kind of talk, then he should be man enough, or in his case, woman enough to take the punch he deserved. Damn Queen can dish it out but he can't take it.

59. Was the person filming sitting on top of a paint mixer?

60. Why do I have a feeling Perez wanted to call Will.I.Am the n-word, but then just called him the f-word because he can later justify it as ~I'm a gay man I can say it!~ Perez so calculated this drama and egged Will.I.Am and crew on to get a confrontation.
