Music producer Timbaland was busted by German cops on Sunday who said he and members of his posse sent a bar patron to the hospital.

TMZ obtained photos taken in Cologne, Germany, where Timbaland and his friends allegedly attacked a man outside Hotel Intercontinental late Sunday night after a Justin Timberlake concert. The argument allegedly started when a man named Robert F became visibly upset over his girlfriend talking to Timbaland. According to German reports, Timbaland then attacked the patron, "Robert F," after Robert called him the N word. The fight then moved moved from the lobby bar to the street in front of the hotel.

Timbaland and two others allegedly beat up Robert, which sent him to the hospital by ambulance, and sent Timba to the slammer. Timbaland was released on 750 € (about $1,000) bail early Monday morning. According to cops, the matter is still under investigation.

8. Did anyone else happen to see Harvey Levin on one of the news shows putting down the people who leave comments on his website? He was asked if there had been a shift of opinion concerning Paris from the people commenting on TMZ and he said he didn't go by the comments because "a certain type of person" leaves comments at TMZ. The insinuation was that we're just stupid and unimportant and the comments we leave don't mean a thing to him. Way to go Harvey....Aren't we the people that are making TMZ successful?

14. Dont get me wrong ... what the guy did was totally wrong and he kinda earned it.

But i think he didnt think it would end that way. While the N word is a pretty bad derogative in Germany its by no way such a bad bad bad word as it is in the US.

I guess he wanted to make clear that he should piss off, used the cool word he learned from rap songs he heard and got beaten up for that without knowing why exactly ...

Still his fault. But dont start the "Germany is a Neo Nazi Country" comments ...
