Blunt and Petra Run Down Fan

British singer James Blunt and palm-gripping tsunami-survivor supermodel girlfriend Petra Nemcova ran over the leg of an autograph seeker on Friday night in Los Angeles according to witnesses. There's a keepsake from a star encounter!

The oblivious crooner reportedly didn't stop to check on the injured fan. It's unclear if Blunt and Pet had any idea what had happened.

Blunt's rep says, "He was overhelmed by the swarm of paparazzi and was truly not aware of what happened. We're very sorry for what happened, and we're looking into the matter."

16. the man offers nothing to the world....his song annoys people, his face repulses people, he cheats on his girlfriends, and he runs over fans. i say give him the death penalty for this hit and run!

17. Perhaps one might feel it's better to be run over than listen to his hideously lame song.

18. How can you run over someone's foot and not notice? Just on a side note, I don't know who James Blunt is, but I think Petra is lovely. I saw her being interviewed on Larry King Live a while back and she was very gracious and so down to earth.

19. If you're dumb enough to get that close to a moving vehicle you deserve to get run over. Besides reports are that he wasn't going that fast and people were getting in his way.

20. WOW! This man has it all. Is he single?
If so, how can I get in touch with him?
I am very single, and people tell me
I'm beautiful. If that makes any
points for me! Thank you,
A very big FAN!

21. The paparazzi is pathetic

They are a disaster waiting to happen. Blame them for the guy getting his leg ran over.

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to be a celebrity.
can't go nowhere to feel safe and private.

again its pathetic

22. Well I hate celebrities, I hope this guy takes em to the bank and clean them out, celebrities can kiss my white ass. They think thier crap don't stink, they think we exist for them, they snub the law, they get away with crap that anyother citizen would go to jail for. SCREW EM, sue them for every last freaking penny you can get out of them , Hey dude!! Heres a suggestion sue them for violating your civil rights like what happened to OJ!!!!

23. I don't get it. James Blunt is such a loser ... and that voice! The first time I heard him sing "You're Beautiful I thought it was a joke. He sounded like Tiny Tim, and I assumed it was some kind of parody. Even Katie Coric and the always gracious Anne Curry couldn't stop laughing while that song played in the background when they announced his upcoming first appearance on the Today Show. He can't sing, and his songs are insipid. And what's with the shirt always coming off? I don't get it. I just don't get it.

24. Too bad they weren't driving a Kenworth & pulling a 60,000 pound trailer. It would have finished the parasite off right !!

25. It ticks me off to no end that people do dumb things like this all the time chasing celebrities and then expect the stars to pay them when it doesn't go their way. First, it is stupid to run that close to anybody's car when they are obviously trying to leave. Second, with the amount of prying flashbulbs in their eyes, it's no wonder they didn't notice. Lastly, with the amount of noise, it's also no wonder they didn't notice anything was amiss. He'll probably get a good share of money because of this, and that is ridiculous. If it weren't for his own dumb, FANATICAL actions and the dumb fanatical actions of the press (including you people at TMZ who print tabloid garbage and paparazzi pics all the time), this man wouldn't have gotten hurt. If any of us were in these peoples' shoes, I doubt we'd do any better driving. Yeah, I'm on this site, but I think the world would be a better place without tabloid rags and online sites like TMZ.

26. Blunt gives me the creeps! How do you not know if you hit someone! Even if the guy was in the way people still have the right away!

27. Blunt who ? never heard of this guy.

28. who the heck would want their autographs???
even if he's just selling them on ebay he's lucky to get $10 COMBINED.

maybe that's why he purposely got run over. more money in that than selling autographs of those c-listers

29. No matter who the person is fan or not, you can not run over someone and just drive away. Thats a hit and run... and if he gets sued, so what! He should he left the scene with no worrys or thoughts about what he just did....If you hit somebody in your car and take off, you kown you are going to get sued, if not you your insurance, and you may be facing some jail time...
