The drama surrounding Perez Hilton’s beatdown in Toronto last June has come to a anticlimactic finish, with the gossiper dropping charges in exchange for a public apology. Black Eyed Peas‘ tour manager Liborio Molina presented his mea culpa in court yesterday. “I apologize for what I did…even though [Perez] engaged in highly offensive comments, including a homophobic slur to my clients, I acknowledge that these kinds of issues should not be resolved through a physical response.” So how do you think Perez took Molina bringing up the whole “f—-t” controversy again?

“Although accepting the fact that he shouldn’t resort to violence, [Molina] attempted to say that there was a precipitating cause,” said Hilton’s lawyer, letting the matter slide anyway. “I am happy that Liborio Molina has accepted responsibility for his violent actions,” added Hilton in a statement. “I look forward to reading his letter of apology and he and Will.I.Am can look forward to reading my in-depth thoughts about that awful night in my new book.” Uh oh! Sounds like this drama still has some milk in it.

Pop star du jour Lady Gaga continued her crusade for marriage equality this weekend in Washington DC. She spoke at the National Equality March before roughly 250,000 LGBT activists and straight allies. During her passionate address, she stated that speaking at the march was the single most important moment in her career. While her speech was mostly poised and poignant, her trademark Gaga outrageousness surfaced at one point, as she screamed “ARE YOU LISTENING?!?” to President Obama. A source that was in the midst of the crowd on the Mall said she had the otherwise-rowdy crowd captivated in silence as she spoke. You go Gaga!  [Photo: Splash New Online]

The quest for marriage equality was nationwide yesterday as celebrities Sophia Bush, Emmy Rossum, Perez Hilton, Kelly Osbourne and others marched in West Hollywood to protest Prop 8.

See photos from both events below.

Not even piles of money and stylists can prevent fashion disasters, and the red carpet at the VMAs is one of the riskier events where oh-so-much can go wrong. Judging from last night’s showing, there were disasters a’plenty. Whose outfits weren’t up to snuff? Let’s have a look.

Perez Hilton won’t let his run-in with the Black Eyed Peas die. The bigmouthed celebrity blogger, who used his blog as a soap box after allegedly being punched by the group’s manager at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, has filed a civil lawsuit for unspecified damages in excess of $25,000. The suit, which claims Polo Molina smacked him around because he made negative comments about the Peas’ new album, is for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Molina was arrested in Toronto, but he’s not the only one who has felt some heat. Perez is being heavily criticized from the gay community, of which he is a part, for calling Peas leader will.i.am a “faggot.”  Will this saga never end? [Photo: WENN]

Celebrities are speaking out about the fight tweeted around the world, and no one seems to be sympathizing with Perez Hilton. Kelly Clarkson commented on the blogger’s beef with musician Will.I.Am in the video above, saying, “What did you expect? You can’t say that much crap about people without being able to take something.”

Tila Tequila spoke out on her Twitter in defense of her friend Will, while John Mayer and Perez got in a heated, tweeted fight over the drama. Kirstie Alley called Will her “new hero,” while Transformers star Josh Duhamel told Entertainment Tonight, “When you get rich saying hateful things, sometimes you ask for it. It’s an unfortunate incident and I hope it goes away.” The actor is married to Fergie, who is apparently at the heart of this battle.

Perez Hilton has taken to his eponymous website - and his Twitter - to accuse Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas of assault. In a video he made today, Perez chronicles his side of what went down at an after party for last night’s Much Music Awards in Toronto.

According to the blogger, a heated conversation with the musician - apparently over things posted on his blog about Fergie and the group’s new album - turned violent. Perez claims that he called the BEP member “a faggot,” and that Will.i.am and his manager, Polo, then followed him outside, where Polo punched him “two or three times,” as well as in the eye (it’s unclear if Will ever did anything physical). Perez then took to Twitter, writing, “I need to file a police report.” The authorities are apparently now involved.

Not to be outdone, Will has made his own video detailing the night’s events. In it, he describes a supposedly mature conversation in which he asked Perez not to bash his band on his site, followed by what he describes as fans going crazy - and possible punching Perez - after the blogger dropped the f-bomb.

Check out their videos (Perez! Will!)  and let us know - whose story do you believe?

Miss California Carrie Prejean alienated not just gays and lesbians, but a whole slew of people who have spoken out in disagreement with the Miss USA runner-up’s statement that “opposite marriage” is the only way to go.

Journalist Alicia Jacobs, a former Miss Nevada and judge said, “Since Sunday night’s pageant, I have been inundated with people wanting to know how Miss California’s answer to Perez Hilton’s question affected my final judging. I can tell you that it GREATLY affected me & the final score I gave Carrie Prejean…My final ranking for Miss California was 4th runner-up…& if I could have made her 51st runner-up, I would have.”

Former Miss USA Shanna Moakler said, “…she lost the crown because she wasn’t able to convey compassion for ALL the people that as MISS USA she would be representing. ”

Shanna’s colleague Keith Lewis, “Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family”

Miss Vermont and Miss USA contestant Brooke Werner said, “Everyone has the right to their own actions. But I totally disagree with Carrie. I have a very different perspective on gay marriage and I would never have said what she said. A lot of people were shocked. We were all kind of giving each other those eyes, we couldn’t believe it.”

Geoff Kors, Executive Director of Equality California said, “It is unfortunate that Miss California, who we note did not win, is so out of touch with the overwhelming majority of people her age that she wants to deny loving, committed couples the rights and dignity that come only with marriage.”

and the best of all…

What is camel toe, you ask? It’s “punani” gone awry, “yum yum” that just won’t cooperate, “coochie” in a state of defiance. Most embarrassingly, camel toe is visible for the whole world to see — usually due to overly tight jeans (Coco), hot pants (Brooke Hogan) or bad bathing attire (Rosie O’Donnell, cover thyself!). Why do people care about camel toe? Because some have a juvenile interest in glimpsing O.P.P. (Other Peoples’ Property). Here at Scandalist, we believe it has something to do with being repressed in childhood. Anyway, we’ve compiled photos of the Top 25 Most Shocking Celebrity Camel Toe Moments Ever. Come back later to check out at our collection of male bulges.
