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*
31. 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.

32. 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!

33. 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
34. 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.
36. 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.
37. 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....
39. David Copperfield seems like a nice enough guy. I met him a few years back at a private party .. and after talking with him for a while I received an invitation to the Bahamas.
I was certainly not naive enough to think that I would have had a separate bedroom or that all he would expect from me in return for taking me on this fantastic vacation was to spend some time chatting on the beach. If that was all he wanted he could go to the Bahamas by himself and find someone to chat with once he gets there.
I was not interested in him in any sort of romantic way and therefore did not accept his invitation.
Some women are just Gold Diggers. They accept things from men and then turn around and try to make trouble for the guy when he expects something in return.
40. Nothing is wrong with these girls letting the world know - david copperfield is trying to pick up ladies at his show..............
mmm......... I don't know what claudia schieffer saw in him anyways......lol

41. I am not surprised that Brosnan punched the little dweeb... He continued to engage him even after he told him to go away. I hope more celebs start doing this a,d more of them arm themselves with mace or pepper spray to make them keep their distance.
TMZ is becoming the worst of these... I believe if they could swim in the sewers to photograph celebrity poop, they would do it.
42. I got hit on once by Wayne Newton, after his show in Vegas. I knew what he wanted. And he knew I knew what he wanted. I wasn't interested so I walked away. That's how simple it is. Getting on a plane and flying all the way home to Seattle after being "raped", sounds a little pre-planned to me.
As for these other two gals, um, wow, David has gone down hill since dating Claudia. All the way to the bottom....
43. This sounds just like the first time my Husband asked me out --except for it was to dinner, not an island. Copperfield can obviously afford to invite a date to much more than the average man. I didn't find it creepy at all. It was an invitation, and sounded very polite to me, at points even a little nervous, which in normal when asking someone out. As usual, the Media is spinning it. That's how they make a living.
45. I used to like watching David Copperfield, until I saw him in person in Vegas. The show was great, it was a special time for the wife and I. We flew out and got married the day before and then went to his show the next day, on my birthday. In all of his tricks he that he asks for a person from the audience he said or pick a woman. One of the women that he picked was then told to pick 10 others to come up on stage. I was really thrilled that she pick me as one of the ten. When the trick was over they were giving out signed pictures as we all left the stage. EXECPT they were only giving them to the women. How do I know that, I ask why don't I get a picture today is my birthday, and I was told "We only give the pictures to the women." I also over heard the man handing out the signed pictures ask the woman behind me if she would like to meet Mr. Copperfield. I GUESS THEY FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH HIS, TRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
