Pap Gets Popped -- by Total Nobody

You know the paparazzi have it tough these days when they're getting headbutted by people who aren't even famous. It's one thing when Cameron Diaz or Avril Lavigne goes after you. But this guy?

One of Hollywood's regular lensman incurred the wrath of a civilian last night, and paid a price. The smallish blonde man, looking like a completely ordinary blend of Eminem, Justin Timberlake, and Anthony Michael Hall, gave the pap a shot to the head when he objected to the glare of their flashbulbs -- even though they didn't give a whit who he was.

Showing solidarity, two other cameraman accosted the head-butting fool, but he slinked away.

16. He should have knocked that guy and all of you idiots right into next week. You guys are the scum of the earth and should be pissed and shit on then made to eat your own shit.

You should all be locked away in a maximum security prison forever.

This column is perfect because I have had a question about this for
some time. You always see an army of photographers at these places.
What I want to know is how in the hell can there be that big of a
market out there for these guys to make a living? Also say
that you are the guy that took the video we just saw, how much do you
get for something like that?

19. Did you all hear the headbutter's accent? Sounds like he's from Scotland. He's built like goddamn rugby player! I wouldn't have messed with him. He looked pretty pissed off.

21. Having watched this clip again, the big stalkerazzi guy did something to set the blonde headbutter off. His face was beet red, that's how pissed off he was. TMZ, show the whole clip. What we saw was the tale end of the altercation.

24. Too bad the leech's camera wasn't smashed. That would've been a perfect ending to this story.

25. I think it is legal and acceptable for him to do what he did. Celebs aren't permitted to do that because they (by law) are held up to different standards and are public figures so they have to deal with it. But an ordinary person walking down a public street has every right to defend himself against some maniac getting in his face and flashing lights at him. Right?
