John Mayer, Perez Hilton Twitter War Over Black Eyed Peas Incident

After yesterday’s much-blogged-about altercation between Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am — a physical confrontation that manifested itself into a verbal war on Twitter — John Mayer took to his Twitter account to poke fun at Hilton’s handling of the situation and start beef with the celebrity blogger. Last year, Hilton provoked Mayer by saying the guitarist was “definitely bi” and that the two had made out, something Mayer denied, Us Weekly reported.

Yesterday, Mayer fired the opening salvo, Tweeting “I love that @perezhilton uses his cellphone to log on to twitter to post a tweet to ask his followers to call the police for him,” which is a good point. The Soho Metropolitan where both Perez and Will.i.am were staying was besieged by phone calls from as far as China and India following Perez’s cry for help.

Mayer also wrote, “Last year P!nk kneed me in the nuts outside Chateau Marmont. I was pissing blood for days. Did I make a scene?” After noting that Perez’s video statement was “so long that by the end of it his cut healed,” Perez fired back, “That’s real funny! Ha ha! And I’m sure you also think I “deserved” to get hit!” From there, the two continued writing each other back and forth, with actress Kirstie Alley (another frequent target of Perez) throwing her support behind Mayer and Will.i.am. Mayer concluded the very public conversation by calling Perez a “dumb shit.”

Following Sunday night’s incident, Will.i.am’s manager Polo Molina was arrested and charged with assault. Meanwhile, even today Perez has continued to attack the Black Eyed Peas, using his Twitter to link to a 2006 Daily Sun article about a brawl at a BEP party. (”The Black Eyed Peas and their camp’s horrific history of violence!” Hilton wrote.)

Rather than bouncing back and forth between Twitter feeds and reading the whole story backwards, Rock Daily has assembled the mostly chronological tweet conversations between Perez Hilton, John Mayer and our special guest star Kirstie Alley:

Mayer: I love that @perezhilton uses his cellphone to log on to twitter to post a tweet to ask his followers to call the police for him.

Mayer: Last year P!nk kneed me in the nuts outside Chateau Marmont. I was pissing blood for days. Did I make a scene?

Mayer: @perezhilton’s video statement is so long that by the end of it his cut healed.

Perez: @johncmayer That’s real funny! Ha ha! And I’m sure you also think I “deserved” to get hit!

Mayer: @PerezHilton Not true. In fact I’d like to train you in Krav Maga. Then you’ll have the situational awareness not to get in someone’s face.

Mayer: @perezhilton I also want to train you in an old martial art called “Never Call A Black Dude a Faggot Jitsu.”

Mayer: @PerezHilton agreed. So let’s meet up this week and I’ll give you your first krav maga instruction. We’ll break the event down and learn…

Perez: @johncmayer Ok.

Mayer: @perezhilton people don’t want to see you hurt, they want to see you experience something equalizing.

Mayer: @PerezHilton by understanding the genetics of a violent incident you can learn to avoid them. And if you can’t, you will learn to end them.

Mayer: @PerezHilton this will be the last public mention of it. You know how to find me. Words have cause and effect, even if the effect is wrong.

Perez: @johncmayer Dude, I get it. I GET IT. But it’s not fucking funny to me. Karma would be me losing my site and going bankrupt or what have u.

Mayer: @PerezHilton Yah, you’re not getting it… OOH! OK. It’s like the Matrix. You live in the Perez Matrix. You wrote the program, you can fly.

Perez: @johncmayer Karma is NOT getting punched in the face!

Mayer: @perezhilton from the heart, what you experienced these last 24 hrs is a profound lack of control. You can’t blog the world, my friend.

Mayer: @PerezHilton then you leave the Matrix, and oh, what the hell, you’re not gonna get it. You’re a sweet guy though.

Perez: @johncmayer I can never tell if ur being sincere or not. It doesnt matter. Have Harley email me contact info for this so I can do on my own.

Kirstie Alley: @iamtherealwill [Will.i.am's Twitter] WHAT EVER HAPPENED..YOU ARE MY HERO.. LOVE LOVE LOVE TO YOU…AND MORE LOVE…LOVE, KIRSTIE

Kirstie Alley: Perez…in the future…must only duke it out with lentils…leave the black eyed peas to the big boys

Perez: @kirstiealley I’m 31 years old. You’re 58. But it seems like you have the mental maturity of a 13 year old. Way to go!

Perez: @johncmayer I cant DM u and Im not trying to play this out publicly. B well. I dont wish u harm. I talk shit but I sincerely wish no 1 harm.

Perez: @johncmayer And people DO want to see me hurt. That’s what I’ve been reading over and over again. But it’s cool. I’ll be back 2 normal tomm.

Mayer: @PerezHilton you might have a gash on your face for a few more days, but the real healing? It’s happening right now.

Perez: @johncmayer Once again, we agree! I live in my own world. And in my world, I would never punch someone. And in my world, that’s illegal!

Mayer: @perezhilton now you sit down behind that Tandy computer and you hash out a Doogie diary. Be sure to pause, think, and keep typing.

Mayer: @perezhilton because today, the fourth wall came crashing down. Mario, you are human. I call upon Twitter to be kind to you. #perezisokbyme

Perez: @johncmayer I’m not human! I’m a monster! Good night, John Mayer.

Mayer: @PerezHilton Good night Perez, you dumb shit. #perezisokbyme

Kirstie Alley: JOHN MAYER…you are in the wrong biness…you funny, singer boy…you real damn funny…

Kirstie Alley: @johncmayer I have comedy CRUSH on you…you are one funny singing sensation…I heart your timing…love, K

Dear RollingStone,

Seriously, stop.

your mom | 6/23/2009, 5:49 pm EST

For the record, John Mayer finally admitted that he made out with Perez/Mario.

And Perez is correct. Everyone is missing the point that you don’t hit people. Even if what he said was ridiculous (and it was).

WTF is this? | 6/23/2009, 5:54 pm EST

twitter neeeds to die like hitler did

DD | 6/23/2009, 6:04 pm EST

Wow really people, not much else to do huh?

uhhh | 6/23/2009, 6:10 pm EST

when someone runs their mouth as much as that dbag perez… yes, yes you do hit them. and then you hit them some more. until eventually they can figure out that your actions will generate consequences.

lexie | 6/23/2009, 6:14 pm EST

seriously, i just joined twitter so i could be friends with john mayers.

and btw, word on the street is perez is an insignificant piece of shit. hes only famous because he talks about people online for a living, last time i checked, anyone could do that.

kims deeler | 6/23/2009, 6:27 pm EST

omg like perez hilton and john mayer! no effin way im cheezin out im gonna go write a super pissed off tweet!

Person | 6/23/2009, 6:39 pm EST

John, you’re the shit!!! perez, you’re a dumb shit. i hope you get what’s coming to you!

Susan | 6/23/2009, 6:47 pm EST

Kirstie Alley is a stupid loud mouth, fat ass Scientologist who doesnt know when to keep her fat trap shut.
who the is she anyway?
Relevant much, Kirstie? Stick to your cult in the future, because no one really cares what you do anymore.

D-bag & T-bag | 6/23/2009, 7:25 pm EST

John Mayer should go full steam into comedy. Then we wouldn’t have to hear that awful screachin’ he calls “singing”. Seriously, Helen Keller had better vocals than that douche-bag!!!

Kiefer | 6/23/2009, 7:33 pm EST

Can we please stick to real stories about musicians?

this nonsense has no place here
but since it is I have 2 comments

1- will i am is a pussy for not taking care of his own business and directing his homey to do it for him. If he was so disrespected, he should have popped him himself.
2- Perez, you should have head butted this fool. end of discussion

WTF | 6/23/2009, 7:37 pm EST

Who the hell CARES what Kirstie Alley said? She needs to go back to jenny craig and shit her mouth. Shes been irrelevant to the world for a lot of years. Is this what SCIENTOLOGY teachers their cult members? To adore and praise bullies and thugs? Interesting.
Wow, she wasted a lot of money on audits and seminars and classes only to end up being a fat, bitter, shrew.

Polo Rocks | 6/23/2009, 7:54 pm EST

Where can we find Polo to buy him a drink and shake his hand? If Perez was told to mind its own business and stay out of BEPs’ affairs, it should have listened. Violence is not the answer, but it is a good way to train a stinking hyena like Perez to be obedient and respectful.

toby | 6/23/2009, 10:59 pm EST

this is so junior high school, please, we have moved on from this behavior!

Padraig | 6/24/2009, 12:09 am EST

Who is Perez Hilton? Seriously, Paris’s brother ? Does he do sex tapes also to increase popularity?

your DAD | 6/24/2009, 1:04 am EST

I don’t know “Perez” hilton, but
the Black Eyed Peas SUCK and cannot
write any song of their own
without interpolating another
artist’s composition. KirsieAlley
is pathetic for attention and
the Queen Bee of Lame John Mayer
must have to remember that he’s over without TMZ

The Hamburgler | 6/24/2009, 2:29 am EST

Who the fuck cares? obviously John Mayer……I think every single person in this whole event are top notch douchebags.

I thought Kirstie Alley ate herself…

meesh | 6/24/2009, 3:53 am EST

hahaha where the hell does Kirstey Alley come into this? so utterly random

Gomes | 6/24/2009, 4:01 am EST

The “Doogie Diary” comment kills. LOL! good one

James | 6/24/2009, 4:51 am EST

No he did deserve this. Fully.

PerezIsAnIdiot | 6/24/2009, 4:53 am EST

Sorry folks, but you sometimes have to hit people. It is that simple. If you trash talk someone, get in their face, call their fiends “fugly” and generally act like an arse, you will get punched. And there is a very good chance it’s justified.

That is the way the world works – you act like a jerk, you get punched. This whole “you don’t hit anyone, EVER” sentiment is a bunch of nonsense for pussies who want to talk trash and never expect anything to come of it.

Don’t talk trash unless you are prepared to back it up with your fists. Don’t want to get punched? Then don’t be an arse.

How | 6/24/2009, 10:53 am EST

How some random flamer gets this popular is beyond me. Only in American pop culture, thank you Hollywood. You’ve proved your uselessness once again.

Laura | 6/24/2009, 11:06 am EST

That was not even amusing. I can’t believe this is what the celebrities do with their free time. What a waste. Can we say Junior High?

Anonymous | 6/24/2009, 11:29 am EST

this is coming from a gay guy – i’m so glad someone finally punched that queen in the face for all the deamining hurtful crap he says about people. his job entails being a mean person and for that he deserved to be hit. most definitely!!!!

RollingsStone sucks | 6/24/2009, 12:13 pm EST

It is a damn shame that celebrities promote this brainless fad called Twitter and even worse that Rolling Stone promotes. Fuck Twitter, Rolling Stone, John Mayer, Kristie Alley and Perez Hilton. Get a fucking life.

barry and levon | 6/24/2009, 12:42 pm EST

these days, a lot of cats is out of line
seems to me that they need to get punched
yeah, but where u gonna punch them at?
yo, the choice is obvious

M | 6/24/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Perez is simply a guy who started blogging before it was the in thing to do. Part that’s strange is that he’s respected by a number in Hollywood. He’s nothing more than a nerd that caught on to Twitter before the rest of the nerds. As for Will.I.Am, I’m not in any way a Black Eyed Peas fan, but it’s good someone finally did shoot back at these cling-ons like Perez, who would not even be known by his neighbours (let alone the word) without blogging. Perez should publically appologize for what he called Will.I.Am, and be a man (though Perez and Man are mutually exclusive are they not?).

Ari | 6/24/2009, 2:55 pm EST

Dear Adam,
stop being patronizing anfd get off the site.

Wrex n Effect | 6/24/2009, 3:33 pm EST

John Mayer=douchebag

Perez Hilton=used douchebag

Kirstie Alley=Galactus, eater of worlds

doober | 6/24/2009, 3:54 pm EST

why did they keep twatting each other?

John Gayer | 6/24/2009, 4:03 pm EST

Johnny Mayer’s music and musicianship sucks. He’s also a pussy.

William | 6/24/2009, 4:21 pm EST

If Mario hadn’t come up with the name ‘PEREZ’ he’d still be a nobody, clever name shameless attitude. Will.i.am not so clever just as shameless.

JUST ME | 6/24/2009, 4:38 pm EST

I think Perez got exactly what he had coming. Its funny how he thinks its okay to hurt people just because he doesnt physically hit them,but when he gets hurts, crys like a little b****. Like they say dont dish it if you can take it. Maybe now he’ll learn to stop running his mouth so much as it does have consequences.

paul | 6/24/2009, 5:18 pm EST

This guy is a complete waste of sperm and should be shot behind a shed somewhere.

Pett | 6/24/2009, 5:59 pm EST

Hi, I have already seen it somethere…
Have a nice day

Shatman | 6/24/2009, 6:07 pm EST

Douche or not, JM is funny as hell.

Kris | 6/25/2009, 1:01 am EST

haha. mayer is the man.

Mon | 6/25/2009, 3:06 am EST

I think the debate of whether or not he “deserved” to get hit because of his celebrity ridiculing is less of an issue. The bigger issue is his use of the word f****t that led up to the attack. As a gay rights activist he should be ashamed. He wasn’t “reclaiming” the word, as he stated. He was using it in its original hateful context: to insult, belittle and aggravate.

I can’t stand John Mayer, but he has a point: learn how to avoid a violent incident or learn how to end it. Perez did neither.

Murff | 6/25/2009, 5:11 am EST

This should be a wake up call for Perez! Next time it may be a gun!

Tunica | 6/25/2009, 9:42 am EST

Seriously, as arrogant and douche bagg-esque as John Mayer can be, the guy is funny…and Perez deserved to get punched in the face. I’m surprised it took this long to happen! Seriously, being gay and calling someone else a f****t, running your mouth all the time and talking shit about people….he needs to get some sense punched into him. Talkin about being unprofessional? He most certainly isnt…I dont think regular critics use the words “fugly slut” to describe anyone. And bringing God into his speech….seriously? I’m sure Gods on his side when hes talking smack about everyone else. Of course. You dont want drama? Don’t create it, or you will get slapped. I’m so happy he did get punched…I dont think he’s gonna change though…cus perez in an asshole. Than you john mayer. And yes, this twitter thing is immature….

-.- | 6/25/2009, 10:16 pm EST

Seriously guys….
what a waste of time! What a FREAKING FUNNY waste of time! hahaha! But seriously, we should get a life!

Pink hater | 6/26/2009, 12:25 am EST

She kneed him in the balls?
What a biyatch! Haha.

Mayer fan, always and foreverrr….

tooty | 6/26/2009, 2:58 am EST

Perez you hurt people every day,what’s the difference?

QQQ88 | 6/26/2009, 8:16 am EST

Perez is a dumbass, did anyone see what he posted on his blog about Michael Jackson? what a douchebag. He then deleted it after he found out that Jackson had actually died. Perez deserves everything he gets, what an asshole.

ranndino | 6/26/2009, 11:59 am EST

This started off as an entertaining exchange and then deteriorated into boring ass stupid shit, especially when Kirstie Alley chipped in. For a 58-year old woman she sounds like an average middle school girl. Typing in all caps and like OMG, I LOVE YOU, OMG.

Celebs have way too much free time on their hands hence drugs and this shit. Must be nice not having a real job.

Having said that if all us punched anyone who wrote or said something we didn’t like it would be total chaos. Should movie directors / producers be justified in punching any critic who wrote an unfavorable review?

Anonymous | 6/28/2009, 1:52 pm EST

What? So it is okay to hit someone because he pissed you off. Really, because i am thinking with every single word and phrase being politically incorrect, except of course in rap music, that P H is luccky some fool did not put a cap in his a##. Is that the right way to say that. Have we really disentegrated entirely our moral and ethical compass? What happened to turn the other cheek, treat people the way you would be treated? No one has the right to put their hands on any other human. Not only is it wrong i believe it is still against the law. So enjoy your jail time dude, too bad chris brown won’t be with you.

It amazes me that all this fuss is over some guy getting a punch that he probably deserved. People get punched everyday and they deal with it and move on, they don’t immediately grab their twitterberry and bitch about it online. Couldn’t he have just used the phone to call the cops? He’s an attention-seeking douche-bag.

Paulo | 6/30/2009, 9:19 am EST

Suits you Perez…

Your words are more violent than any punch.

Karma is a sugar-coated term. You deserve worse than that.

Anonymous | 7/1/2009, 5:13 am EST

oh john mayer im so glad your intelegent
it has revived my faith in modern music

perez sucks | 7/1/2009, 8:16 am EST

Apparently Mario has forgotten that words can cause hate and violence too. Provoking people in a negative way makes people mad and eventually someone will retaliate. I’ve been punched in my life and I haven’t shared it with the world crying about it like a bitch over the internet or sued somebody for it.

Karma is a Bitch | 7/24/2009, 9:25 pm EST

I never read what Perez have to say, just by looking at pics of him online is already a waste of time. He needs to get a real job, criticizing about other people is not a job. At least John Mayer and the Black Eyed Peas makes music, what does Perez do? bitch and whine, no real talent! he needs to just shut up, he’s a joke.

lololol | 8/2/2009, 6:52 am EST

Perez is so stupid. Perez made a video about william incident because he wanted pity and wanted to publicly attack the black eye peas. John Mayer is right and Perez is a dumb shit.

Jenna | 8/7/2009, 11:51 pm EST

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE PEREZ HILTON

Brian | 11/4/2009, 12:40 am EST

OMFG THIS IS SO FUNNY. LMAO I CAN’T STOP LAUGING!!

I hate perez hilton with a passion but this whole twitter fight was like something you’d see from a bunch of teenagers fighting about the incident, not the people in the incident itself. LOL
