PEREZ APOLOGIZES FOR GAY SLUR TOWARD WILL.I.AM: Blogger says he also reached out to Isaiah Washington.

(June 26, 2009)

*Perez Hilton has issued an apology for calling will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas a gay slur during an altercation in which he ended up allegedly punched by the rapper's tour manager.

GLAAD had called upon the blogger to apologize after he admitted to using the slur, but Hilton initially refused, saying GLAAD should apologize to him for suggesting that will.i.am is the victim.

On Thursday, however, Hilton had changed his tune. He said in a statement:

"I am apologizing to the gay community, to anyone who was hurt by my my [sic] choice of words," adding "the 'F' word will never be uttered from my lips again."

Perez also said, "I have reached out to Isaiah Washington, someone I incorrectly labeled a homophobe, despite his own public statements that he was not."
