Not that surprisingly, celebrities haven’t exactly been voicing their sympathies for Perez Hilton in his whole Will.I.Am punching debacle. It seems to have less to do with the actual incident itself and more to do with who Perez is on the whole – and the kind of website he runs. Lots of celebs aren’t fans of blogs, but Perez is the only one (at least that I’m aware of) who does things like drawing lots of pictures of penises going into Fergie’s mouth, etc. There’s a distinct meanness – not to get all high and mighty, because I have certainly been mean to celebrities. Anyway, Perez isn’t getting any celeb support – and he hasn’t helped his case with all of his angry hysterical videos either.

Kelly Clarkson was interviewed by Virgin Radio’s Billie, and Kelly had a hard time not laughing at several points when talking about the Perez drama.

Kelly Clarkson has said that she was unsurprised to hear that Perez Hilton was allegedly punched by will.i.am’s manager.

The ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ singer told AstralRadioToronto that she thought such an incident would have occurred sooner.

Clarkson said: “I’ve got to be honest with you, he’s going to get a lot of flowers. I’m not talking about Perez – I mean the manager.

“I do not think violence is the answer, but what did you expect? You can’t say that much crap about people without having to take something.”

She added: “No-one deserves to be punched in the face but it’s expected. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. I hear that he’s mean to celebrities’ kids.

“You’re hurtful to children, no-one’s going to pity you. I don’t think anyone should be punched and I’m not about violence but I see why someone would do it.”

The same radio station – and same deejay – had a phone interview with Perez earlier that morning and she came across as being sorta sympathetic towards him, in a dry way. Like she’d say, “Oh honey I’m so sorry,” but her tone was completely flat. But she didn’t call him out on anything. Perez also starts crying really self-indulgently near the end of the interview, and it sounded like he was very poorly faking it to me. It was really awkward and they had to end the interview. You can hear the whole thing here.

Obviously Perez is getting a lot of drama and attention from this, which is what he wants. And I’m sure he’s getting a lot of extra site traffic. He’s going to play this out as long as he can, even though I can’t imagine what’s left to say.
