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. 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.
18. *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!
19. 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!!!!!

20. After seeing the Pics I'll bet they would be lucky if my dog looked at them without getting scared!
21. 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. ;-)
22. CREEPY Copperfield I agree with Linda B... He should not be permitted to invite others back stage if this is really what is going on. You would think MGM would check into the situation and at least suspend backstage visits for now.

23. 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.
24. I don't believe that he "sexually assaulted" anyone other than a consenting adult, but I do find his method of picking up women pretty creepy. I mean, the very idea of having your assistants help you score!

25. 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.
26. ok why does everyone think they know him soooooo much that they know for a fact that the dark haired woman is lieing because she isnt what society calls attractive? you all make me sick. and no im no fatty, im perfect. but I hate to see a beautiful and healthy woman downed and called a lier because she isnt what society deems as pretty.
and everyone wonders why teenagers as well as adult women starve themselves and puke up their dinners. because of pig men like you who say horrible things like that. I see nothing wrong with her, and if he wanted her he wanted her so what..you have no right to say he didnt. you dont know. but I do agree with everyone who is stating the obvious, oh my god a famous rich man using his show and status to get chicks. yeah thats something new hahaha
28. Regarding the part on Rosie...simply, you are stupid. Steel melting for the first time in history from a fire and not an explosion? You might want to check your sources as I have found countless articles stating that FIRE can INDEED melt STEEL! Imagine that! Some article were specific on the 9/11 case too! Wow, your dumb. Example,
"Just noting the obvious retort to the 9/11 truther claim that fire cannot melt steel. For the record, steel loses 50% integrity at the temperature jet fuel burned, which caused the systemic failure in the buildings." (From site: www.lorien1973.com).
If you even take a look at that site, you'll see theres another story of Fire melting steel.
"The upper deck of Interstate Highway 580 at Interstate Highway 80, located near Emeryville, collapsed Sunday morning after an explosion and fire. Heat from the tanker explosion on the westbound 580 melted the upper roadway of the MacArthur Maze. The fire was intense enough to cause the tanker truck to basically melt away, according to crews on the scene."
Guess thats a conspiracy too? You make me sick thinking that those people died on 9/11 from anything else but what REALLY happened you fat sack of crap.
29. Good to see that most comments are normal - there is still hope fot this country. The guys is his 50ies, bored of all the same crap he's been doing, has tons of money and wants to have some good time with women? Gosh.... One thing I don't understand, though, why pick from all the dopes that go to his shows? With all the money, order from a catalog whoever you like.... Oh... well, just dreaming....
30. I think Brosnan had every right to beatt he s--- out of any "photographer". I think it is an invasion of privacy the way these animals pursue these stars. I personally couldn't give a rats behind if Britney gets arrested and certainly am not interested in what Paris is up to. As far as poor Brosnan, he had every right to protect his family. If he said back off, the guy should have backed off. No sympathy for any so called photographers.
