Celebrity Feuds
Nicole Richie's Man Strongarms Photog

Nicole Richie's boyfriend doubles as her personal bodyguard -- quick to get violent with anyone who stands in her way.

A heated Joel Madden bulldozed his way through a crowd of paparazzi as he and Nicole Richie tried to sneak out the back door of Mr. Chow Saturday night, sending photogs flying. As Madden approached his waiting ride, the Good Charlotte frontman finally lost his patience and rocked one unlucky photog with an openhanded shot to the chest. As the photog stumbled backwards, Madden and Richie quickly got into the car, and sped off into the night.

The day before this scuffle, chopstick-thin Richie was rushed to the hospital after feeling dizzy on the set of "The Simple Life" -- after 20 hours of filming. She was treated for dehydration and released. Looks like Madden was just being a bit protective of his girl.

1. I'm being serious when I say this...I believe Nicole R. needs psych help. She has a lot of issues--one being her weight.
Having been a teen during the 80s, I was a fan of her dad.

2. I am not a fan of violence in any way. However, in this one I have to say, "WAY TO GO!!!".

4. I am split on the issue. On one hand, I feel some sympathy for celebs as every move is photographed and their personal space invaded. I can see how that can get annoying. On the other hand I want to scream at the celebs for being dumbasses for becoming celebs to begin with. Paparazzi, photogrophers, fans etc all come with the career path. If they don't want to deal with paparazzi etc, they shouldn't have become celeberties to begin with. Afterall, it's the paprazzi partially responsible for making them famous.

On a side note, I could give two shits about Nicole Richie - the only reasons she's famous is because of har dad, Paris, her dumbass starving herself. but most of all is due to the photogrophers.

5. Joel better be careful who he pushes. He doesn't weigh much
more than Nicole. That guy he pushed could have squashed him like a bug.
They're both whacks and who cares about these two losers???

6. it's hard to feel sympathy for those who are dressed to be seen & at places they know papz will be waiting, directly after a tabloid story breaks out about one of them. why not dress down & go to some ordinary place to eat? i'm sure LA isn't lacking for good tasting, reasonably priced, low key, culinary destinations.

7. Just because they are famous they don't deserve to be stalked. There is a time and a place for everything. These photogs wait for the celebs to get the highest priced picture. Its all about the money. Thats why Joe Simpson takes pics of Jess himself.

8. Why Is this toothpick famous? I feel like buying her a bigmac meal, but she'll probably puke it up. I'd rather buy a big mac meal for a homeless person who needs it and appreciates help. This chick is the next to shave her head? I'll place bets on that.

9. That cracked my up at the end how the photog said see you in a dark alley. LOL Skinny boy joel better watch out.

10. Why don't these photographers just hire bodyguards?
When thes celebs show up at places THEY KNOW WILL BE CAMPED BY
photographers, they should EXPECT to have their pictures taken.
I know one thing, if a Celeb ever laid a hand on me, they'd get a stub back.

11. Good. Should have puched that stupid f***er! Being a celebrity means getting followed constantly and being a photog bastard means getting hit constantly. I don't even like these two, but good going jeff...errr john...joey?? what was his name?

12. I love Nicole, but if you just got out of the hospital why the hell are you going out to dinner? Don't you ever just wanna stay home and smoke a fatty? I bet Mr Chow would have delivered

13. OK so they are celebs, but........ are they not human?? Do they truly deserve to be stalked like they are. These paps have radios which they use to coordinate with the others so they can be ready to get in the face of whomever they are preying on that day. If I was a celeb I would be afraid of these overzealous freaks. I would find it very claustrophobic and overwhelming. I also find that allot of celebs handle it very well, I have a temper and I think I would be in jail for shooting the pushy vultures. The mags and sites are mostly to blame, where there is money, people will do any job if the price is right.

14. For someone who seemingly doesn't eat, how come she's always going out to dinner? What does she do there while her BF is apparently eating? Or does she eat something and puke it up in the bathroom? I wonder if these Hollywood eateries are all full of these broads puking in the bathrooms. Yuck.

15. Nicole needs serious intervention. her parents know it, her "real friends know it" ( if they bother to tell her--hmm Paris, Lindasy, Britney) Her current boyfiend. When Nicole walks down kinston to purchase some new clothes-- she might not make it-- just like the skiiny model who dropped dead. she is only 85lbs. It was stated on her arrest sheet. She is seriously underweight.

Anna Nicole looked good with curves so does J LO

Nicole wake up and smell the nearest treatment center. Don't be ashamed
