Train Wrecks
Dillon Pulls a Dourdan

Posted Jul 23rd 2007 5:00PM by TMZ Staff

Matt Dillon isn't familar with how TMZ treats people who like to hit.

Without saying a solitary word, the other Dillon brother walked right up to a TMZ photog in New York this weekend and smacked the s**t out of his camera. Not cool, dude! After the sneak attack, the not-so-tough guy walked off in a huff -- only to stop a few seconds later to stare down our shooter.


What's he so pissed about? It was the public that had to endure "You, Me and Dupree"!

In a statement to TMZ, Dillon's rep claims "You don't show the part of the footage where the photographer kept hassling him. He wouldn't have pushed the camera away if he hadn't."

For the record, that footage doesn't exist as our photog shot every frame of footage from the other side of the street -- until Dillon approached him.

46. I do think some celebrity's even small time one's have such large ego's and insecurities they are in fear of and dislike TMZ because of the sarcastic remarks they put over most pics.

47. At this point in his career, he should be happy anyone wants him picture at all.

52. Wow, you say "smacked the S**t" out of his camera'? TMZ IS LOSING IT. Lately they are not getting any good news(unlesss you think 20 stories a day on Paris, Lindsey and Britney is news, YAWN) and they keep fabricating this nonsense. Matt clearly pushed the lens down so this moron would stop filming him, nothing more. It is time to move on TMZ the other websites are topping you daily....getting preyy pitiful just like the boring Dourdin stry you finally let go when NO ONE cared

53. Bottom line to the celebs-

YOU CHOOSE THIS CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello. If you didn't want to have photos taken of you then maybe you should have stayed unknown like the rest us regular folks!

I love when they complain about this portion of their fame, take the good with the bad like any other job.

Cry babies.

54. Hilarious. He must have some issues if he has a problem with being photographed when all he's doing is walking down the street on his own. Whats he got to hide!

57. I love the movie Paparazzi. Maybe a few real life situations as played out in the movie may get these sleeze balls to back off.

58. If the damn photographes would leave these people alone for a change, maybe they wouldn't get so irritated. And what's worse is how the editors of TMZ and all the rest of those places, write something so crappy about the star, and say something to make it look like it's all the stars fault and "what did we do to deserve this", when you know damn well those SOB's follow people around, get into their space, shoot pictures without even asking if it's okay--or if the person would mind, and I'm sorry, so much of it borders on stalking it isn't even funny. And I know a lot of you out there are going to say, "well, it's the nature of show business, and if you can't stand to have photographers following you around, then you shouldn't have become a star", and I'm sorry, I just flat disagree with that. People are people first, and they're stars second, and if at least the photogs would ask first if someone minds having their picture taken or not, then at least everyone starts out on a level playing ground, you know? Give the star or entertainer the right to say if he or she wants their picture taken first, and if they don't, then the photographer(s) should respect their privacy and walk away. During the past year or so, several stars have really lost their cool with photographers, and I can't really say that I blame them.

59. I think celebs should get squirt guns and fill them with goop and spray every camera they see. there's no good reason to film someone if they haven't been asked to. if they laugh while they squirt the cameras, then they won't be charged with assault. enough is enough!

60. See if MATT would just come out of the closet and lose that awful anger he has built up.
Maybe MATT could date another MATT;
there's MATT McCONAUGHEY, MATT LeBLANC, MATT PERRY.

Make me a MATT SANDWICH...........................yummy yum yum ! ! !
