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.

46. TMZ- you lose all "credibility" (and I use that term very loosely concerning your website) with your bogus headline and story. The video is proof that the guy asked your photog to stop filming and he didn't stop. All the other photogs were telling him to stop and he didn't. Geez, the actor even said "please!"

TMZ is becoming more and more like sleazy X17 as each day passes. What a shame.

47. Oh yeah, and the CSI guy should totally sue your website for slander by posting a false, misleading story and headline.

Ya know....Gary said..." turn off the camera"...and I'm sorry, but the TMZ PHOTOG provoked that altercation LOOKING for exactly this.

Most disrespectful and the PHOTOG should be fired!!!!!

53. Right on, Gary. I'd shake your hand if I didn't think you'd slap my own face with it. I love a good pap/pseudo photog beatdown story!! Thanks, TMZ!!!!!

54. Oh get over it - all jobs have their risks - and one risk of being a nosy paparazzi is sometimes you get knocked around. Oh well, take it as it comes. If I was having a bad day and some idiot got in my face with a camera, I would smash it, no question.
Oh and he is most definitely hot.

55. What warranted this being pushed back to the top? Really. Pathetic. Gary is the man, the camera mans lucky thats all that happend. Regardless of fame, people have PERSONAL SPACE. And your headlines so weak, this was no knock down crap at ALL. Sleazy.

56. When an actor misbehaves as this ensemble actor did, I just quit watching their shows.
That speaks louder than any words.

57. We really didn't see this man beat the photographer. Celebrities get bothered by photographers all the time, but Dourdan should have just ignored him.

58. While what he did was horrible, please refrain from calling him a c**ksucker. It gives the rest of us a bad and undeserved name. Thanks.

59. ...looks like Gary has a little belly=bloat...maybe he's just constipated...usually a good beat-down releases the bowels.

60.
So he went MICHAEL VICK on his ass and slammed his head to the pavement...luckily he didn't strap the guy to his "RAPE STAND" or douse him in water and electrocute him.

"All the cops around there are his friends?"

Yeah, MICHAEL VICK tried that one TOO!!!......

Virginia cops stall Vick evidence review was the HEADLINE attributed to Sheriff Harold Brown...which is why THE FEDS stepped in, and now he is looking at Federal charges, and Mandatory sentencing.

Funny how some "guys" will try and use the Law to their advantage....than cry FOUL when they get smacked.....or better yet....the race baiters come out of the woodwork
