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. beat down? hilarious. First off, it wasn't on camera. Second, it sounded like a couple shoves. TMZ making themselves the victim once again. Awww.... poor little parasite stalker got pushed by a celebrity.

49. Quit whining, it's nothing more than a job hazard...it's wonder more of you guys don't get beat up. Maybe, you should start a reality show on paps getting beat up by celebs.

Sorry, no sympathy here.

50. Ah, Why did you call him that? C**ksucker? Seriously? I really doubt it was unprovoked. Especially being you people call people horrible names.

51. Um, hello? You go to Hyde, you get your picture taken. If celebrities don't want their pictures taken, maybe they shouldn't go somewhere that is well- known to have paparazzi outside. It's not rocket science.

52. I don't in anyway advocate what this actor did, and I hope the paparazzo that was attacked though is doing OK, and isn't hurt too badly. However incidents like these are going to start happening more and more if the paparazzi don’t ease up on celebrities. After being stalked day and night, or if they just want some private time, and that request isn't respected, people can just lose it, like in this situation. I am frightened one of these times someone will end up killed. It isn't worth it. Please stop stalking these people. They are human beings who need a private life too. Stick with the red carpet and formal events. We don't need pictures of every moment of these people’s lives, and you can still write celebrity gossip with out the stalker pictures.

53. @ Perv or should I say Adolf. Alec Baldwin and Sean Penn are both white last time I checked and there attacks on the paps were way worse than what TMZ just posted so keep your stupid, racist comments to yourself you uneducated dumbass. Last I checked all humans are pretty much similar in everyway anatomically, so if your stating that primates are our cousins than they sure enough are your relatives to, smart guy. Some people are just stuck on stupid.

54. 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.

55. Did anyone who writes this Blog actually watch that tape? It's like 2 different stories.

56. I don't blame people for getting p'd off at the constant barage of these camera people. While I am not advocating violence, these shutterbugs have to know how irritating they are. I'm surprised more of them are not whipped up on every day. Hopefully someday there will be a law against this stuff, and your photags can go back to taco bell and make me some nacho supremes.
