Train Wrecks
"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.

17. No sympathy for the photographer,you guys are alway sticking your lens in everyone's face.Celebs can't go out for dinner,shopping,out with their kids...they can't go anywhere without you following them like little roaches.I wish more celebs would beat the crap out of you guys, if you tried that up here in Canada your asses would be in the slammer!!

18. Who is this guy? I’ve never heard of him.

In any event, I’m calling and writing CBS to express my disgust with this guy’s behavior. We can’t keep letting celebs act like this. His line about knowing all the cops is a real winner.

Keep us posted, TMZ. Take this guy down.

19. Hello! If the public would get their heads out of the asses of Paris, Britney, Lindsey, and Nicole, they might have known who this guy is - I sure do. There is more to entertainment/life than boobs, butts and crotch flasing -and, not to mention drugs and booze.

Angelmom is a Skank! Get a job and stop spitting out kids.

21. What a dorky looking helmet.
Never heard of this guy, he looked like he was hardup for some publicity.

22. "slammed him to the pavement several times, sending his head bouncing into concrete over and over again" - sounds like a potentially life-threatening act of violence to me.

Warrick, what the heck were you thinking?

By the way, regarding the contempt for paps - we keep them in business. Seems obvious, doesn't it?

23. That cameraman was assaulting Dourdan with his camera. That cameraman was trying to steal from Dourdan as surely as someone who illegally downloads music or a movie. If that cameraman wanted to take some images of Dourdan, there should have been a contract signed and a fee established. To do anything other than that is stealing from a person who makes his living selling his image and talent to the CSI group. The CSI group should be paid for this intrusion upon their contract with Dourdan. Those who think otherwise are advocating theft.

24. 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.

25. good for him

TMZ photographers are pigs.

they lie, steal and cheat for a picture.

kick his ass, gary!

26. I'm sure he will blame this whole thing on the fact that he's black and misunderstood and the evil white guy with the camera started it, and if he's fired it will also be because he's black.

Hope he goes to jail!

27. 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"!

28. 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".

29. 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.

30. 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.
