Beats weren't the only thing being dropped in Miami this during this year's WMC...Paris Hilton and her boyfriend were too!
This is from the WMC forum, and happened a few nights ago here in Miami...
After enjoying their first night of partying in Miami, Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt were allegedly attacked at the Fontainebleau Hotel early this morning (March 27). It all went down when Paris approached the DJ in the nightclub at approximately 3 a.m. and requested a song by Madonna or Black Eyed Peas, something she could dance to. The DJ was spinning techno music. All of a sudden, a nearby bodyguard shoved Miss Hilton, which prompted a furious Doug to tell the man not to touch his lady love. That’s precisely when the bodyguard and Doug began to brawl. After a few minutes, hotel security intervened and the fight promptly broken up. Cops were called but no charged were filed. While Paris escaped sans injury, poor Doug suffered a bloody lip. Says a shaken Paris: “I can’t believe someone would do this to us, it’s really scary.” UPDATE: Reps for Steve Angello, the other participant in last night’s throwdown that involved Paris and Doug, have contacted FYB to deny the spin that Paris’ camp have put on the story. “Steve plays dance music, he just doesn’t play hip hop,” an insider from his PR company says. “He politely refused Hilton’s requests but she got more and more agitated, and it escalated pretty quickly. Out of nowhere one of her security guards smacked Steve in the face. Steve is a quiet guy, but he had to act in self defence and fought back. He started pounding on the guy and it suddenly turned into a full scale fight in the DJ booth.” Looks like it’s a matter of he said, she said. But who do we believe?
And now Paris Hilton's side of the story...
Clearing a few things up Just checking in to say hello and clear a few things up. I've been getting a lot of calls and emails regarding these subjects I'm about to discuss. First of all, last night at a club my boyfriend and I were assaulted for no reason at all. The DJ (I don't even know his name cause he sucks so bad) was playing the worst music ever! I like certain techno music, but this was not even danceable and was frankly giving me a migraine. I asked one of my friends who runs the hotel if he could change the music and he said " I'll lead you up to the DJ booth tell him and he'll play whatever you want." So he walked Doug and I over there. I asked the DJ if he could please play Daft Punk or Bob Sinclair and he rudely snapped at me and was like 'I only play this kind of music." I think he was jealous cause Bob Sinclair is a far better DJ then this guy by about a million times. He was so unbelievably rude and all because I asked to play one good song. 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 of me. Then all hell broke loose, it was like something out of a fight movie, it was so frightening. I had never seen anything like it in my life. Doug was fighting off like 6 guys. But he was of course stronger then them all but one of the idiots punched him in the face and busted open his lip. There was blood all over, I cried I was so upset and scared. It was ridiculous and for such a stupid reason, I cannot believe people behave this way, like ainmals! FYI this is not in my nature to be in club brawls, I;ve never been around anything like that. It was totally unprovoked and thank God Doug was there to rescue me. A man should NEVER put his hands on a woman in that manner.
I would love to have been at this party! |

WMC 2009 Incident Steve Angello/Swedish House Mafia vs. Paris Hilton/Doug Reinhardt
By: Michael A. Rabban
There was an unfortunate event during the Winter Music Conference 2009 in Miami, Florida at the Fountainbleu Hotel/LIV nightclub.
Steve Angello is a highly reputable “House” music DJ from Sweden, Europe. The Swedish House Mafia is a combination of genius minds whom include Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso. Other famous Swedish DJ’s and well known DJ’s include others such as Eric Pydz and John Dahlback.
Ms. Hilton must realize that the Winter Music Conference is Electronic music orientated. There are still people in cities such as Los Angeles that know any such music as “techno.” As a famous hip hop artist, Eminem once quoted, “Nobody listens to techno.” The quote has some truth to it. Barely anyone still calls this genre of music “techno” but most Hip Hop fanatics know it all as “techno”
Los Angeles and a couple other cities in the United States are still hip-hop dominated. You will here hip hop as a default genre in almost every nightclub in Hollywood. Venues such as Vanguard and Avalon Saturday nights are massive venues which play Electronic Dance Music and bring International DJ’s on a weekly basis.
Popular hip hop and pop producers have realized that music has progressed more towards Electronic beats rather than a basic hip hop 80-100 beat per minute, while house music is faster (around 120-128 beats per minute) Will I Am from the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Roland from Destiny’s Child and Chris Willis all sang at the F*** Me I’m Famous Event in Miami (Paris, France production) Any person willing to Travel to party Island Ibiza, Spain this summer sometime between June and September should check out the F*** Me I’m Famous event on a Thursday night @ the Pacha nighclub. Steve Angello and The Swedish House Mafia play @ Pacha Ibiza as well on Monday nights. In my opinion, Pacha Ibiza is the best nightclub in the world. Another favorite house DJ of mine, Erick Morillo plays on Wednesday nights @ Pacha. DJ’s Armin Van Buuren and Roger Sanchez are other top notch Electronic DJ’s that will be playing Wednesday nights In Ibiza @ Amnesia nightclub.
Just for the record, there are many types of Electronic music. DJ’s such as DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Eddie Halliwell, Paul Van Dyk and AVB are famous and well known “trance” DJ’s. “House” is another popular Electronic genre. Popular House DJ’s include David Guetta, Erick Morillo, Sander Kleinenberg and newer up and coming DJ’s such as Amsterdam’s Laidback Luke are all DJ’s to check out any chance you get.
There are more Electronic genres such as Progressive House, Progressive Trance, Drum and Bass, funky house, hard house and minimal. A simple www.wikipedia.org search will inform you of all the different kinds of Electronic Dance Music (EDM).
Los Angeles and the minority of other Hip Hop dominated cities will soon catch on to the rest of the world, EDM and house music are the default genres played at venues throughout the world (outside the Los Angeles bubble) Boojie clubs in Hollywood such as Lex Deux, Goa (now Bar Deluxe across the street), Coco De Ville, Crown Bar, Kress, My House, Area, Foxtail and the rest of the to go to places are now catching on and playing house music. In Los Angeles, “Mashup” DJ’s play a house music beat mixed in with a hip hop track. The house fans love the beat, and the Hip Hop fans don’t even realize that a house track is being played in the background.
It is deeply saddening that Ms. Hilton’s boyfriend Doug Reinhardt had to be Captain Save a Ho’ and get taken down by Steve Angello and nightclub security. Any lawyer can explain that a person has a self-defense claim when a like force is used. No weapons were used on either side. A bystander is allowed, to “step in the shoes” of another person who is being attacked by an aggressor. Even a slap counts. Miami Beach police checked out the incident, however no charges were filed since no crime was committed. Fights happen all the time (a little bit more prevalent @ Hip Hop clubs) however, all parties have fights here and there and it happens. With bottles of alcohol all over the place, some people just do not act rational, sober or clear minded. Another reason why security is a necessary party of a nightclub. Slapping a highly reputable Swedish DJ is a slap in the face to all house/EDM fans throughout the world
If Ms. Hilton wanted to hear hip hop during the Winter Music Conference, why didn’t she host a party at a Hilton venue. Miami Beach and other major cities have numerous Hilton Hotels. The artists that were requested by Ms. Hilton, “Bob Sinclar” and “Daft Punk” are great DJ’s and producers, however WMC patrons want to hear new, upcoming music that hasn’t been released and not outdated music such as “World Hold On” by Bob Sinclar or “Around the World” by Daft Punk.
Understandably Ms. Hilton may not have been completely sober and may have had substances in her system. Alcohol and other substances are readily available in the Miami area, however what she intakes in her system is her prerogative. However, in the future, please do not go to a party (especially during WMC) and ask for Hip Hop unless YOU are the one throwing the event!
It was a misunderstanding by both sides. EDM and house music is about love and togetherness. It is respectable what Ms. Hilton’s family has done, but she should think twice before she thinks she “owns” every party she shows her face at. Unfortunately, or fortunately w/ House or Electronic Music one does not have to bump and grind, or freak another person. One can enjoy the music, lighting, production on the dance floor, table or at an elevated spot. One should enjoy the visuals, the dj, the flat screens, huge projector screens and beautiful dancers and people all over the place that look beautiful and dance eloquently. Unfortunately, at all events worldwide, not all eyes MUST be on Paris Hilton. So she should not take it personally when she is being treated like every other person in the venue.
This controversy should be put behind us, and lessons should be learned from it. I understand Paris Hilton’s position and I hope by now she understands Steve Angello’s. Steve Angello even showed the crowd a “I heart Paris” T-shirt (similar to the I heart NY T-shirts sold everywhere in Manhattan) at his last appearance at the National Hotel in Miami Beach to show his compassion and to be the bigger and better individual.

I found that it jumped around a bit and some of the thoughts seemed either incomplete or mixed up.
But it's a good start. |
