"CSI" Star Beats the Living Crap Out of TMZ Photog

Who knew the CS in CSI stood for c**ksucker?

Resident "CSI" douchebag Gary Dourdan pulled a Woody Harrelson last night -- unleashing a brutal, unprovoked attack on a TMZ cameraman outside of the most celeb-packed nightclub in Hollywood.


Clad in leather biker gear, Dourdan violently grabbed our photog outside Hyde, who the actor had mistaken for another guy, and slammed him to the pavement several times, sending his head bouncing into concrete over and over again -- all while his camera continued to roll.

The chaos began after Dourdan pulled up to the club on his Ducati motorcycle, and shouted at the photog to "get that f**king camera out of my face!" The photog obliged, pointing the camera to the ground -- but Dourdan's rage continued to grow, and the cameraman kept the record button on just in case something happened. Moments later, something happened.

As Dourdan launched his attack, other paparazzi can be heard screaming at Gary, desperately trying to make him stop. Moments after the assault, Dourdan threatened our photog again, saying, "I know all the cops around here, they're my friends."

Our photog took his chances and filed a police report anyway.

16. I'm sure there are a hell of a lot of actors that would, or should beat the crap out of you guys.
We don't hear the side of the story as to why he kicked the guys ass do we? I'm sure TMZ had a lot to do with it, and it was probably deserved.

17. Does Dourdan figure his shiat doesn't smell too. Looked totally wasted. Hmmm -- he should consider himself lucky -- he lucked out of a DUI.

Whether is was a pushing match or full out smackdown -- he walked into the camera view. I think he should take a look at his driver's license -- Do you see the name GOD on it? Don't think so. Frig off you wasted piece of crap. I agree with #9 Lauri -- now one of his "cop" friends should arrest him.

Why do I hear in the distance those famous words "Dourdan has checked into rehab".

18. this is the pathetic state of journalism in this country. create an incident and then try to hype a story. you can't tell anything from that tape.

20. The cops are his friends? Does that mean laws don't apply to him? I guess we will find out. What a difference between this jerk and the way Jeff "mmmmmmm" Goldblum handled a pap in his face. Classy and cool is SO much hotter than macho nutcase gone wild .

21. He may be in CSI, but he Is Not a Star! Maybe a Lawsuit will bring Him back to Earth. Really in our circle, we do not know or care for him.

22. Not sure it was a real beat down like you said....didn't find any evidence other then a suffle. And I sure didn't hear his head hit the ground several times like you said. Next time show some post shots of the incident....it will be more believable. Oh and stick to the A-listers....if you are going to stalk, harrass and make their lives unbearable...they have more to loose.

People like Gary will gladly take a hit on their criminal record to help out the "top"!

23. I'm a fan of CSI and anyone who watches this show knows who Gary is. I thought this video was poorly done and the audio was terrible. Should Gary have ignored the guy and moved on? Sure. Should the paps concentrate their time on the celebs who want the attention and leave others alone? I think so. Celeb or not, some just want some down time. Keep the cameras out of their face.

24. Throw his talentless ass in jail. Just another typical dumbass wanna-be celebrity who tries to make a name for himself by letting his ego lead him around. I hope TMZ files charges, follows up and the moron ends up in jail as someones bitch.

Say, Perez Hilton will probably be in soon enough - maybe they could hook up?

25. hey tmz photographer, as paris hilton learned, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. all your stalking is bound to set somebody off once in a while. surprised it doesn't happen more.

29. Sounds like one of many got what they deserved.

Sock a paparazzo today?!? Why NOT?

30. C'mon TMZ, this sounds like much ado about nothing. Please forego the MOCK OUTRAGE you are trying to convey. I'm sure that this is exactly what you were going for----a nice splashy headline to try to draw more attention to yourselves and your site. If you are going to get in people's faces and refuse to back down, MAN the f*** up and either take the beatdown or at least give back as good as you get.
