Whiney gossip-blogger Perez Hilton is standing by his story that it was Will.I.Am from The Black Eyed Peas that beat him up last night…not the Peas manager…whom the police are investigating.

After last night’s MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Perez posted to his Twitter: “I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.”

But cops in Toronto tell us it was the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas — Polo Molina — who is under investigation and he turned himself in to police early this morning.

Perez keeps insisting that tiny little Will kicked his ass…almost as if he is proud of it. He twittered the entire incident ..as any normal man would do…

Will responded with this video via TMZ…I gotta say I tend to believe him over the annoying and over-dramatic blogger.
