Perez -- So Sorry for Gay Slur

Perez HiltonPerez Hilton is apologizing for the gay slur he threw at Will.I.Am on Sunday night in Toronto -- with an asterisk.

GLAAD had asked the battered blogger for an "I'm sorry" a few days back -- but Hilton makes it perfectly clear that GLAAD can pound sand.

Here's the mea culpa for calling Will.I.Am a "fa**ot."

"I am apologizing to the gay community, to anyone who was hurt by my choice of words," adding "the 'F' word will never be uttered from my lips again."

Perez also says, "I have reached out to Isaiah Washington, someone I incorrectly labeled a homophobe, despite his own public statements that he was not."

1. He needs to just stop talking. Glad someone finally brought him back to earth.

2. Well, I'm glad he apologized. That clearly means he's shown some amount of maturity over the situation.

3. It's called damage control. Not a single person was on his side. His first statement wasn't even an apology. He throws this out - while STILL playing victim. It's insulting that he would sue and donate money to Matthew Sheppard's foundation while Matthew was mercilessly beaten while they threw that word at him. He's making a mockery by doing that. Given it was released an hour after Will.I.Am's blog, AND several hours after the court filing (which is a lie in itself, by saying he was punched for what was said on his site, and NOT from shouting out those words), he's trying to spin the victim part. He couldn't just say I'm sorry and Will was calm, PEREZ went nuts. The video shows Will not screaming once. Where's his apology to Will for falsely accusing him?

7. Perez, I have been saying for a long time that you are a self-hating homophobe.

It is clear when you call Lindsey "Lezlo" or Samantha "SaMAN".

You use peoples sexuality to harass them. SHAME ON YOU PEREZ. You deserved what you got, hater.

GROW UP PEREZ!

9. All I have to say is........WHY did he not get the same treatment as Isaiah Washington.... Isaiah's reputation was ruined (incidently by Perez as well) for using the same words (though we never saw that tape).
Perez please..........GET a LIFE

10. I totally disagree with the who violence is never the answer, when a grown man talks as much crap about people and their kids as he does sometimes the best cure is an ass kickin.

11. That's just not enough. I can't stomach his site anymore personally. However, for him to save face and restore what few fans he has left, he needs to lay low for awhile.

And shame on whatever lawyer filed that suit for him. To recover, he has to show not only a wrong, but that the wrong caused damages -- looks like he is fine to me.

12. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW PEREZ!!!! And let me repeat this because I KNOW it will be difficult for you to get!!!

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!! Think about it... or look it up because you may not be able to comprehend it....

13. Oh, just shut up, douchebag!

14. such an embarrassment...

15. How noble...
It's funny, he manages to issue an apology which doesn't really apologize to the people that it should.
how about a flat out sorry to will.i.am for lying (saying he hit you) and calling him a f*ggot which of course started the entire physical element of this incident.
how about a sorry to fergie for calling her fugly and saying you wish she impales herself.
say sorry to Polo for having to waste his knuckles on your face to put you back in line (with a delayed affect of about 48 hours).
how about a sorry for your overall mean spirited, racist toned attitude towards will.i.am's soft spoken manner.
YOU WILL NEVER LEARN. you are an idiot.
