Paris Hilton Boyfriend River Viiperi Arrested On Suspicion Of Committing Battery

Maybe the clan of Paris Hilton's, 31, is jealous now that Lindsay Lohan, 26, is hogging all the media attention with her endless string of alleged traffic violations and other questionable behavior, because Hilton has found herself in the headlines again alongside former BFF Lohan due to the actions of her boyfriend, model River Viiperi, 21, who was arrested early Monday morning in Las Vegas on suspicion of committing battery.

A male club-goer who was reportedly attending the same XS nightclub in Vegas as the famous couple filed a report against Viiperi, claiming that the model and Hilton main squeeze punched him in the face and injured him badly enough to require medical attention, reports Mercury News.

But what reportedly incited Viiperi to violence? His lady love was allegedly making out with the victim's girlfriend. The unnamed victim pressed charges against Viiperi, who was arrested and cited without being taken into the police station. Hilton had already left the scene.

The incident follows the controversy that surfaced last week when Hilton was recorded in the back of a taxicab saying, "Gay guys are the horniest people in the world. They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."

Though Hilton tried to do damage control, issuing an apology letter on GLAAD's website, the comments still caused Logo to pull a documentary they had set to air about Hilton, reports E! Online.
