TMZ has learned the L.A. County Sheriff's Department is investigating Pierce Brosnan for allegedly battering a man in Malibu.
The incident allegedly occurred outside Casa Escobar last Friday in a Malibu mall about 6:15 PM. We're told Brosnan allegedly committed a battery on Robert Rosen, a photographer.
According to Rosen, Pierce was there with his kids, when Rosen began snapping photos (see below). Rosen says Pierce then said, "Why don't you get a real f**king job." Rosen says he then started complimenting Pierce on his Bond roles.
A short time later, an enraged Pierce allegedly told the photog, "Why don't you f**k off, mate," and then struck him in the ribs. A witness says the pap instinctively reacted by kicking Pierce -- we're told, in the stomach.
Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore says his department is "actively investigating" the matter and will be referring the case to the L.A. County D.A. for review. Brosnan's rep was not immediately available for comment.
Frightened Brit Takes On Drunks, Punks and Cops
YOU'VE GOTTA SEE THIS!!!
Britney Spears was pulled over by an L.A. Sheriff last night -- and while she got off with just a warning, the scene around the car was complete insanity.
TMZ caught Spears and ex-assistant/"cousin" Alli Sims leaving Winston's late Monday night, where the two were quickly pulled over for a minor infraction, nothing serious. Brit wasn't driving, but it was her Pumpkinmobile, and Alli can be heard telling the officer, "We'll get one this week, she just got this." It's unclear what was said, but It appears that Brit's temporary tags might have expired.
After the officer walked away from the vehicle, a drunk guy started shaking his booty against Brit's window, with Spears looking extremely confused (more so than usual) as he kept dancing. A screaming match broke out in front of the car too. Gimme more crazazy!
O'Reilly In Am-Bush League of His Own with Rosie
Bill O'Reilly hasn't been able to get Rosie O'Donnell on his show, so he brought the show to her!
The FOX News host sent a cameraman and a producer to a Long Island book signing O'Donnell was doing this weekend, to ask Rosie why she wouldn't come on his program. She told O'Reilly's people, "If Bill wants me, he should phone me himself. He's a big boy."
But then the conversation turned to 9/11 and how Bill feels that Rosie mangled the truth by claiming it was "an inside job." Rosie responded, "I didn't say that, he's quoting the wrong people." Someone on TV got something wrong?! Get out!
As the conversation became more heated, one of Rosie's handlers started to shove the camera guy, but Rosie told him not to because, "That's what they want."
The whole incident subsided, and on last night's show, O'Reilly reiterated his invitation for Rosie to appear. He shouldn't hold his breath!
Copperfield's Creepy Message
David Copperfield uses his shows to pick up women -- this, according to multiple sources in contact with TMZ.
Here's the way it goes down: For years, David's assistants have targeted attractive women sitting in the audience. During the show, David will bring them up on stage, and if he likes them, he uses code words ("mama" and "secrecy") to let his assistants know he's interested. After the show, the assistants bring the women backstage, where they meet David, have their pictures taken and fill out questionnaires on colognes they like, whether they enjoy the Bahamas (where he owns property), etc.
One woman who David recently targeted gave TMZ a voicemail message that David left shortly after the performance.
Another woman -- Amanda from Atlanta, told a similar story. As did another woman from New York.
None of these women say David did anything untoward, but a Seattle woman reportedly claims David sexually assaulted her in the Bahamas. The Feds are investigating.
Paris in Wonderland with Larry Vader
Paris Hilton as a sexy Alice in Wonderland and Larry "I am your father" Birkhead as Darth Vader were spotted on Saturday night, partying it up at the Playboy Mansion. Battle of the bottle blondes! Other guests included Paris' less famous sibling, Nicky, Adrien Grenier, Hugh Hefner and Quentin Tarantino. Clearly, Larry's saber grabbed the heiress' attention. *kssshhhhhhhh phhhhhhhhhssshhkkkhh*
16. David Copperfield is really wacky, screwed-up and definitely eccentric! My friend and I went to a show of his, and we had really good seats. I don't know how it happened, but the next thing you know, we are backstage meeting with him and he had somewhat of an entourage with him, that were just as weird as he was! Anyway, he asked what my gf's measurements were!!! I mean, she's very voluptous, but you don't have to be rude and just ask that question so freely! We asked to have pictures taken with him and he was obsessed with the camera!! He was like taking all sorts of pictures of all of us. I think if my gf and I weren't married women, then we would have stayed longer, and possibly went up to his hotel room, where he was staying...
17. There is nothing creepy about this voicemail...it's a guy inviting someone away for the weekend. A rich, good looking guy who used to date Claudia Schiffer...this is someone looking for their fifteen minutes. It's a shame women go around making allegations or trumping crap up because no one buys it when it really happens.
18. the 2 pics up top 1 of the blonde...who says he tried to talk to her I can see...but the fatty who said he was staring at them......we know thats a lie,come on !
21. I don't see a thing wrong what he has done so far...the voice mail.....get $%^&* real!!...That was totally not creepy. And inviting them backstage...wow what a mother $#^% he is......these chicks are retarded...if they felt creeped out by him starring at them during the show, why did they except the invite?? And you can bet your ass if I ask you to come to a romantic island I'm not wanting to hang out and play cards.....David C., PLEASE make these dumbasses dissappear!
22. What happened to "Whatever goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? This beasts are lucky he noticed them! David wouldn't RAPE any girl.. Yes, I think he would come-on to a few if they were exceptional, but I don't think either of these two qualify as anything spectacular. I think he turned them down, and they're a little ticked off. Where are the "stooges" that Chris Angle hires? TMZ should get those people together to expose his "stop tape while he does some editing tricks". LOL Copperfield RULEZ... always has, always will.
24. As a woman I want to say that I don't believe a word that is going around about David Copperfield. What I think is that there are a lot of female wanna bes that have a lot odd delusions. A simply vague smile and hello can be a come on to them. He is after all very rich, good looking and single. A glance from him would really get my motor running even at almost 70. I also feel that he is entitled to use any line he wants to pick up women. As far as the "girl" that claims rape...if it happened, strange to me that she would fly all the way back to Seattle to report it and have the hospital exam for rape. Does not ring true to me at all. If she accepted hte invit to the Bahamas, she should have been prepared for what ever.
25. *Sigh* It never fails that people come out of the woodwork to say bad things about a celeb the minute a negative story comes out. It never fails! Leave the man alone people!
26. It's another case of Bob Barker. Whoopty doo. Like many of you said, why did they go backstage and why fill out the "personal" forms. Women only go backstage to meet an entertainer when they are groopies; and, these women are old enough to know the deal. ;-)
27. Copperfield targeted my good looking blonde daughter-in-law at one of his shows. He threw a pickle into the audience, she was in the front row. My son caught it. Copperfield instructed him to give it to my daughter-in-law. She proceeded to go onto stage and participated in the show. When she was finished, they took her back stage. My son was getting worried when she didn't arrive back in 10 minutes, but she slowly came around from the back with an unsigned photo of Copperfield in her hands. She didn't say much, but from then on didn't clap or participate in the show anymore, acting very uncomfortable the rest of the evening. Once the show was over, they came and got her to get her picture signed. When my son asked later what was going on, she said she was taken to a back room which was dark and left alone. Soon Copperfield was escorted back to the room and they shut the door leaving them alone. He made some unacceptable remarks to her, coming on to her. She told him she was leaving, that he was out of line and making her very uncomfortable and that she was with her husband. Needless to say, they were with friends who witnessed the entire thing. They have discussed it many times and called me to share the news once it hit. We were not surprised to say the least. I guess he doesn't remember his wedding vows.
28. ON "CREEPY" COPPERFIELD... this is what my son's girlfriend wrote after seeing your article - "I told you he was creepy! And in August they sent me an email telling me my picture they took didn’t turn out and they wanted me to send them more photos of myself! I didn’t reply!! I was like how did my picture not turnout when they took it with a Polaroid camera and I saw the results!!! "
they really wanted to see Copperfield's show when we were in Vegas. She was initially excited about being invited to go on stage to "have his baby"....then of course after her experience backstage for photo and autograph - both she and my son said he was so strange and CREEPY..... I now wish they would have seen someone else. His show should be cancelled or he should no longer be premitted by MGM Grand to have people on or behind stage!!!!!

29. After seeing the Pics I'll bet they would be lucky if my dog looked at them without getting scared!
30. 1. Pierce Brosnan acred like a hooligan if he roughed up the Photog.
2. There is nothing new in picking of women by Daviid Copperfield from the audience. But leaving voice mail is pretty damn foolish. He should make live phone contact , not voice mail contact with the girls. But he shows that he is not so choosy i his selection of women.
3. There is nothing so exciting about Britney being questioned by Police. She is now used to being stopped by Police.
4. Birkhead must be going after flat chested Paris because of her money. I would not go after flat chested women.
