I’m a day late on this but there’s nothing going on and I like chiming in on things. Here’s a video of Kelly Clarkson commenting on Perez Hilton getting punched in the face by one of Will.I.Am’s people (more celebrity reactions here).

In fairness, you can’t really blame Kelly Clarkson for not endorsing violence against anyone. People are probably always trying to tip her over. That’d probably help breed some resentment towards physical hostility.

I’m not particularly unique in this stance, but it’s such a joke that Perez is acting like such a victim here. I’m not saying that everyone who’s ever made a snide comment online deserves to get punched…what many bloggers, including myself, do is an extension of a personality that borders on a character. I don’t think terrible things should happen to everyone, but that’s where some of the humor is derived from. But when you take this “gimmick” of yours, and make no mistake, the Perez Hilton shit is a gimmick, and extend it to real life so much so that you’re yelling the word “faggot” at someone far more successful than you, you need to get punched in the face. That goes beyond comedy and extends into a world of reality. Just because it’s “show business” doesn’t absolve you from real life accountabilty. Especially when it’s coming from a place that’s not even humor…it’s designed to be “shocking” and “controversial.” It’s a joke that shit like this gets so much attention, but hey, if that’s what gets you off, more power to you, I suppose.

So yeah, in summation, f ‘em all. The sissy deserved to get knocked out and Will.I.Am’s manager is kind of a pussy for having to knock out a princess like that in the first place.
