Celebrity Justice
Keanu's Not So Excellent Lawsuit

Keanu Reeves has been smacked with a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages, courtesy of a paparazzo he rammed with his Porsche.

TMZ has the court papers filed just hours ago by Alison Silva, a Brazilian snapper who says the "Matrix" star struck him (yup, Alison's a guy) in the knee on March 19, 2007 -- outside a clinic in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

At the time, Keanu was reportedly handcuffed, but it is unclear if he was charged.

Story developing ...

46. The guy stood in front of his car he new it was moving and instead of moving out of the way he stood there so he could get hit. I say we sue this dumbass and all you photogs learn a leson. If you want a pick you pay the price. For god sake the man is from Brizal.

I had a dream about him just last night! I really admire the guy and I hope the pap gets nothing out of the lawsuit. Everyone on here is right, he most likely stood there on purpose, just to get some moolah. Maybe, Alison will be convicted of fraud and be sent back to Brazil.

50. How many points do you actually get for hitting a paparazzi? Not to many since they are like roaches climbing all over themselves and there victims.
Seriously they behave like pigs at a feeding trough, and these bottom feeders wonder why people hate them so much. What a friggin set up. I totally agree with #49 Sandman.
Its time they are held accountable for there actions starting with this loser.

51. ALL of those paps should be arrested! They create a hazard for anyone in the area the star and anyone nearby. If they get run over, THEY SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED! I give the celebrities, ALL of them credit for the PATIENCE they have I would not be able to tolerate how those paps treat the stars.

52. These reporters go to extremes and have killed and endangered and hurt hollywood actors. I feel Keanu did what he had to do and no more. He has never gotten in troublein the past as far as I know. He always keeps under the radar and he deserves a peaceful life he chooses. I am one of his fans. Best Wishes Keanu.

57. Azzholes are sometimes soooo predictable ....part of life, I guess. Celeb or not we all have to deal with them from time to time. Sucks for Keanu but he'll handle it appropiately and I'm certain that he has most excellent attorneys ;)

58. Get the freak out of the way and you wont get hit . What a scam, actors and celebs get stalked by these lowlifes and get hit on purpose so they can sue. What a piece of garbage.

59. Man, those Orange County Housewives are stinkin' FUGLY! One is fat, another has a flat-out deformed face, and the one blonde looks like she has had every procedure her plastic surgeon offers for a face - TWICE!! - the other's are just plain ugly......I thought money could buy beauty! What's up with that?

60. Paparazzi should be fair game, just as any snake in the living room, rat in your kitchen cupboards, or a skunk in your chicken coop. There should be no law suit. There should be a celebration that one more paparazzi was put out of commission, even if for a few short hours.
