Paris Hilton Vs. Steve Angello
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:38 am
"The Miami Winter Music Conference is underway at present, with the cream of the global dance scene descending on the iconic American beachside city for a week of industry schmoozing and partying. Swedish House Mafia don Steve Angello has been in town playing gigs throughout the week, and in the early hours of Friday morning found himself in a rather interesting predicament.
Playing at the venue Fontainebleau, Angello was entertaining an a-list crowd, including millionaire hotel heiress Paris Hilton and her boyfriend reality TV star Doug Reinhardt. Paris wasn’t enjoying Angello’s music, however, explaining on her blog he was giving her a ‘migraine’. She approached the DJ booth to make a request – depending on whose story you believe she’s said to have asked for either Daft Punk and Bob Sinclar, or Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas – not surprisingly Angello didn’t take kindly to her demand. ”[The DJ] was so unbelievably rude and all because I asked to play one good song,” Paris bemoaned after the incident on her blog. “Then out of nowhere his bodyguard (don’t ask me why he has a bodyguard, like he really needs one. Ha) pushed me really hard, that’s when my boyfriend, like my knight in shining armor, stepped in and told the guy to keep his hands off me.”
A scuffle quickly broke out. “For someone who claims to make records… don’t come into a booth and ask me to play hip hop and then have your doorman slap me,” wrote Angello after the fact on his Twitter page. “She kept asking the DJ and got quite agitated with Steve about playing hip-hop and it was obviously his event, his music. He wasn’t going to do that,” said Steve’s publicist Matt Learmouth to E! News, explaining the incident from his perspective. “And then she asked one of her security guards to punch Steve, and one of her security punched Steve full-on in the face. Steve responded and ended up having a brawl with the security guard.”
