Music blogger Perez Hilton was assaulted by the road manager for the Black Eyed Peas, Polo Molina, at the MuchMusic Video Awards. Hilton had apparently written an un-favorable review of the band's latest album on his website. A statement from Hilton's attorney reads :

"Perez Hilton was assaulted by the Band's road manager because he would not agree to stop writing about the Black Eyed Peas on his website Perezhiton.com. Perez Hilton files this lawsuit to protect his freedom of speech and seeks legal redress against those who have physically assaulted him because they do not like his review of their album. Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of physical violence. This lawsuit will make the statement that violence is never the answer. His First Amendment rights will be vigorously protected."
