Charges dropped in Perez Hilton’s Toronto dust-up

Remember the incident between gay gossip blogger Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas manager back in June? You know — that event that completely overshadowed everything that happened at the Much Music Video Awards earlier that night? (including Lady Gaga’s fabulous flaming breasts)

Charges in the case have been dropped as the Black Eyed Peas manager and Hilton reached an agreement outside of court this morning, reports the Canadian Press.
