Ugh. Can you imagine being a guest at the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel last night and having to deal with a bunch of police officers skulking around the place in the wee hours of the morning because Perez Hilton sent out a dramatic plea for help over Twitter?

Okay, let's back up. Allegedly, here's what went down in Toronto last night: celeblogger Perez Hilton was in Toronto to present at the MuchMusic Awards on Sunday night, and he had attended an afterparty at a TO nightclub. At some point over the course of the evening, something happened to result in Perez bleeding and so he blamed Black Eyed Peas' will.I.am and his security guards, accusing them of beating him up.

And how did he choose to announce and deal with this incident? He Twittered about it:

· I'm in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.

· 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.

· Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel.

A little bit later, he tweeted, "the Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them." Were people really calling them on his behalf? Really? Guh.

Well, we're not sure what the deal is here, but we do know that the SoHo Metropolitan will forever be remembered as the hotel from which an injured Perez tweeted for help. Iconic.

    Um

    I'm sorry, but this is lame, and certainly a misuse of police resources to be having 1,000s of Perez Hilton followers calling and flooding a police line. Somewhere in Toronto's ghetto some battered woman was finally mustering up the strength to call for help, and was discouraged by a busy signal all because Perez Hilton didn't want to change applications on his iPhone. Canada should ban him.
