Paparazzi King Gets Face Bashed In

E.L. Woody -- Click to WatchBlood streamed down the face of "Celebrities Uncensored" paparazzi guru E.L. Woody after a late night argument turned violent outside of Area nightclub in Hollywood.

It all went down as Brody Jenner exited the club, smiling and waving to waiting shutterbugs. While Woody photographed him, a random clubgoer approached and began shouting, "What are you doing? You don't need to shoot him, leave him alone." According to Woody, the man then broke a microphone off of another photog's camera.

Woody says he quickly approached the attacker and told him that he would have to pay for the damaged camera. That's when things got bloody. According to Woody, the man then grabbed another mic and smashed Woody in the face with it, opening a bloody gash above his left eye.

Private security quickly threw the alleged attacker in handcuffs and tossed him in the back of a security vehicle, while a battered Woody screamed at him. "Look what you did to my face? If you can't handle your liquor, you shouldn't be out! I don't care who you are, you're going to jail!"

E.L. Woody is scheduled to undergo a CATscan at a local hospital and will get stiches later today. Woody tells TMZ he will definitely file charges.

31. CragBoy, you are absolutley right! Nobody has the right to hit someone and cause injury and thinks that behavior is ok. I bet his ass spent the night in jail.

32. Post # 23 : Why so hostile ? No need to come down on me for telling it like it is. You sound like you are in need of some intense theorapy. Name calling and resorting to insults is sign of " lack of intelllgence " I am not a lesbain c**t but If I was I wouldn't be ashamed of it. You are the other hand come across as someone who could use a course in " Anger Manangement " Perhaps you like to assult innocent people too.

How do you know what I do or how sucuessful I am.? I could work for TMZ for all you know . They just might be handing me a pay check to keep losers like you "at bay". I come on here for the pure pleasure of it. To make a statement like " this is all I have to do in my life " is absurd.

You may think my comments are " lame Ass " but a lot of visitors to this website DO NOT share your opinion. I think you should check out Infantile thinking.com or Barbie .com. Your hostility has no grounding here. I don't have to justify myself to you. But I will tell you this. I set my goals long ago, achieved everyone of them and I am very happy. I earn over 6 figures a year and thank God everyday that I don't have anyone like you in my life that I consider a " friend " Geez.........go get some help !!!

34. haha makes it look like the clubgoer was at fault.. "he just started screaming what are you doing, why are you shooting him? leave him alone" that hardly sounds like people act againt paparazzis.. TMZ proves itself to be yet another pro-paparazzi pile of garbage. f*** TMZ and that paparazzi deserved it lol.

35. POst #20 He He : In all fairness these celebrities know when they come to these high profile NIght Clubs they are going to get their picture taken. I hardly call that " Stalking " HIding in the bushes outside someone's home or hiding up in a tree is " Stalking " However that simply isn't the case here.

This man was assulted , plain and simple. Let's not get side tracked here. I don't care what Woody said or did it doesn't justify being assulted. THe only animal in this case scenario is the drunk who bashed this guy in the head. He should of just minded his own business and took a cab home. The circumstances here just didn't warrant the type of behavior the drunk displayed. It's frightening how many people on here think violence is the way to handle things. I hope you're not teaching your children that.

YOu don't want your picture taken .............don't go out where papperazzi are known to hang out . Dahhh. An once of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. What''s so hard to figure out about that ?

36. #23 Back off! Wise old owl is correct, in my opinion. Get some help, and if you don't agree with a comment, there is NO need to get hostile and immature.

If you can't "play", get out of the sandbox. By the way, wise old owl ROCKS.

37. POst # 32 Miss Honey : Ahh a friend just when you could use one. Thanks for watching my back. I 've got yours too. I appreciate your comments. You,,,girlfriend have got a lot of wit and common sense. I am well aware of your blogs when I come on TMZ I look for them because I know you have something to contribute. Keep on posting because I think that " YOU ROCK " too. xoxoxoxo

38. I have no sympathy for this guy...should have knocked his front teeth out..

39. What a total loser idiot. I say he should have out out his eye. Be hard as hell to take a good picture then. A**hole photogs!

40. POst # 34 kim: Now Kim. If they become " obsolete " then what would you do in your spare time ? Look at blank page with a small editorial ?? Come one let's get real here.

Just another hypocrite who loves looking at the pictures they take but then put them down for doing it. By commending someone for brutally attacking a man because " he took someone's picture " is just insane. It defies logic.

TMZ has every right to run this story exactly has it happened. It has nothing to do with being " Pro- popparazzi " It's about humanity and how you should treat others. There is just no excuse for this kind of behavior. PERIOD !!!! If that was your father that got his block knocked off you would be on here madder than hell Talk about double standards.

41. Considering that the paparazzi have become more like STALKERAZZI holding celebs hostage (have you seen them LITERALLY block the celebs from being able to walk and drive?), I'm surprised they don't get attacked more often.

Having received a journalism degree, I know photogs LEGALLY have a right to be in public places, but in my opinion, NO ONE has the right to impede someone else from being able to move freely (which these guys regularly do). Can you imagine getting into your car to drive away, and having someone jump in front, or worse, SUDDENLY hold a camera into your windshield in your direct line of view as you're trying to drive and flashing the bulbs? To me, that is beyond the call of duty, and legislation is needed.

Trust me, the government *IS* going to have to eventually step in and regulate the press since they seem unable to control themselves with these celebs. The stalkarazzi situation is getting out-of-hand.

42. You know, there's absolutely no reason to call someone you don't even personally know a "Lesbian C*nt" or whatever you called Wise Old Owl. W.O.O. has been posting on TMZ for a long time and his/her comments are usually precise and right on the money as well as being relevant to the article in question. Please, just don't personally attack people you don't know personally. Thanks for all your posts Wise, I always read them and usually like what you have to say. At least there's some intelligence there, so you really have my thanks for that! Cheers - The Duke

43. HAHAHA CLASSIC VIDEO!!! Woody got what he deserved. Is it me or did he sound like Mr. Garrison from South Park? "Look what you did to my face, Mr Hat!" Woody is a vile, dirty old man. My only regret is that I wasn't there to personally see the attack. I hope you got your Brody Jenner footage celebrities.com ... way to shoot the A-listers!

44. E.L. Woody deserved it. Tommy Lee punched him out when he degraded pamela anderson by saying she was a 'bad mom' because she was out at a club instead of at home. He prob. said some shit just like that. Woody lives for this. he went home and rubbed one out after. he is an aggressive SOB with nothing else in his life.

45. All of your should have your asses beat way worse than this guy. You are undoubtedly the lowest scum of the f***ing earth and you all should be pissed on.
