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.

32. 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 .

33. 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.

34. To #14.........why did you feel more comfortable to mention race????? He is not the only one that has done this......as the article said.....Woody has too.........I believe he is white. This is not a color issue.

Also, this isn't a beat down either. Paps are always in folks faces. As for him being an unknown, that isn't true. And he is fine, with those sexy green eyes.

Anyways, don't make this about race, cause alot of white actors act out on the paps...,...but when a black man does it, it is oh so wrong. Get a life fool.

36. 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?

37.
So what?? It was just a pap. They are rude and inconsiderate and too low on the food chain to even be called human.

They deliberately get in the face of celebrities hoping to incite them. That pap deserves what he got.

38. WHAT THE......???? I used to like this dude (on the show, that is.) Who does this loser think he is?????????? CSI producers better reign his ass in or they're gonna have a problem. He needs to be bitch slapped by that photog.

40. I have no sympathy for the photog, how would you feel if you were followed every where you go. Smack them all down!!

41. I actually agree with Mary at #11. However, I never see this guy, so I know he's not necessarily sick of all the media attention. He's not really that famous. So, to say he's reached a sort of breaking point with media attention is a far fetch. He's a nobody, but still human.

44. 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.
