Brad Pitt and the Guard Incident

In the premier of his new movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Brad Pitt arrived thirty minutes early apparently being pursued by more than 20 paparazzis.

"Brad didn't seem to mind having his picture taken and he instead seemed excited for the preview and was smiling," says one of the photographers there. "While the theater security tried to push all the photographers out of the theater, one of the security guards accidentally grabbed Brad by the arm really hard."

And this is where the story comes from. If you do look at the pictures though, it does look pretty rought how the guard handled Brad Pitt. Apparently he was holed up in the toilet for hours waiting for the "almost riot" to die down.

"Though they [the paparazzi] were exceptionally more aggressive than usual," Pitt tells People magazine, "breaking through a security barrier and into a private holding area, ultimately [it was] just another day in the life."

Don't blame the guard I guess, he was just trying to do his job. And I think Brad Pitt feels the same way. He was pretty calm during the whole incident. Guess when you're that famous you get used to people's weird antics. Good thing he's no diva.

Keanu Reeves Cleared Of Running Down Paparazzi

I'm glad hottie Keanu Reeves got cleared for "allegedly" bumping into paparazzi Alison Silva who was asking more than seven hundred thousand dollars in damages! He has got to be kidding!

It was a good thing an inadvertent video of him chasing after Britney Spears led to him being exposed for the true fake that he is.

Keanu was way too kind to him and the paparazzi put him through this much trouble, since 2007! That's almost one year in the making

The Battle Of Chateau Miraval - Brangelina Vs. The Paparazzi

News is all abuzz of the paparazzi who were beaten up by Brangelina bodyguards on the grounds of the 1,235-acre grounds of Miraval, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's chateau in southern France. This happened last Thursday, but it hasn't died down yet.

Everyone's getting in on the story. Here's what I got. There are 2 versions of this story - one of which puts the Brangelina party in a bad light where armored guards from the Brangelina chateau charged out with motorcycles to capture the "semi-innocent" paparazzi who were harmlessly (?) in the woods while the other side tells of 2 rambo paparazzis invading the Pitt-Jolie chateau for a picture of their very expensive new-born twins.

Anyway it all ends in the same way - in blood-shed with both parties getting injured and now filing legal action against each other.

In the end, I think it's the paparazzis' fault. Nobody told them to go into the woods and attempt to catch million dollar images of the Brangelina twins. The paparazzi intentionally wanted to do something malicious with the camouflage attire and that's just wrong.

You can't blame Brad Pitt for declaring war on them, they wanted to get away from the public eye (if that is ever indeed possible) by moving to France.

Lindsay Lohan Vs. The Paparazzi

Here's a video where Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend, Samantha Ronson (Really, she's a girl and she's Lindsay Lohan's "girlfriend" - lesbian antennas rising), get harassed by the paparazzi. They're everywhere together. It's cute in a lesbian sort of way. This time though I think Lindsay just forgot she's an international celebrity that plays roles for Disney.

Poor Lindsay really she just lost it. Got annoyed and just yelled out, "Yo, you need to let us walk. Move! Please!"

She does have a right be angry. Although she is famous so some of those rights are kinda blurry to some people. She'll need to tune the people skills if she wants to last longer in show business. She's already up against Miley Cyrus - the odds there can't be good.

The Revenge Of The Stars -- Paris Hilton And Ashton Kutcher 'Punk' The Papparazi

Just in from Star Pulse, it's revenge of the stars when Paris Hilton's night out in Hollywood with a bearded 'guru' last Saturday was staged by Punk'd star Ashton Kutcher for a new TV show, designed to exploit the media.

Hilton made headlines around the world when she stepped out with an orange-robed, grey-haired 'shaman' who proceeded to bless her and then encouraged her to donate a diamond necklace to a stranger.

However, as previously reported, the 'guru' was actually an actor called Maxie Santillan Jr.

And it has now emerged the incident was a prank for Kutcher's new show Pop Fiction, which will feature 20 celebrities, including several superstars, who are all in on the joke.

Kutcher and his business partner Jason Goldberg produce the new program, which highlights the gullibility of the paparazzi and the media and is set to premiere on E! on Sunday.

Goldberg says, "We live in a culture that's driven by media and obsessed with celebrity, to the point where they don't have private lives anymore. Two people going out to eat turns into, 'They're engaged.' It's a feeding frenzy. It's dangerous and it's irresponsible in some cases. We're having fun, but we want to say to people, 'Can you really believe everything you read and see?'"

Zac Efron Reacts To Paparazzi Pictures Of Himself And Vanessa Hudgens

Apparently Zac Efron is aghast at pictures of himself and girlfriend - Vanessa Hudgens being taken even during their vacation

According to Portable Planet, “At that point it was inconceivable,” he said in a recent interview with the magazine Details. “I had no idea that anyone could ever care. That happens to, like, big stars. I woke up and my dad told me that I was in a newspaper on the beach—he made fun of me, he said I was ‘frollicking.’”

Efron said that while still on that vacation in Hawaii, “the photographer left me a note with a disc of all the pictures, and on the note it said, ‘Thanks for the Range Rover!’”

Well, he's lucky this paparazzi was nice enough to give him a copy with a note to say thanks, instead of the usual hounding and chasing... among other things.

One word of advice, you're in the spotlight now Mr. Zac Efron you better get used to it. With images like this one from Teenscoop Files, it could get worse.

Nicole Kidman Testifies Against Paparazzi

Yesterday, Nicole Kidman testified in the Australian court of law against paparazzi Jamie Fawcett about an incident that occurred 2 years ago in Sydney reports Associated Press. Apparently this phographer, who is considered quite famous there, was hounding Nicole Kidman and this ended in a car chase last Jan. 23, 2005.

The trial itself is not directly related to Nicole Kidman but to the photographer who has sued his publisher over defaming her in an article that mentioned her being Sydney’s most disliked freelance photographer. This hearing was to decide if the publisher should pay the photographer and if so, how much.

After Nicole's tearful testimony though, I doubt that would happen
