Malibu Surf & Turf War -- The Rematch

Private security was hired to patrol the beach where Matthew McConaughey surfs -- but that didn't stop another brutal beach beatdown from taking place yesterday between a band of violent locals and the paparazzi.

After a beachgoer chucked a beer bottle at one of the paps on the shore, an all-out brawl took place by the water -- ending with some badly busted-up faces and a lot of ruined camera equipment.

Though the L.A. County Sheriffs Department eventually showed up, no arrests were made.

196. When all is said and done, in the end everybody makes money but the locals. The locals have a quiet peaceful place to enjoy and the paparazzi intrude with no respect for anybody. The T.V. people make their money, the lawyers involved make their money, Mathew McConaughey benefits from the publicity, and the poor locals get beat up. What everybody doesn't know is that the paparazzi came to the beach to start a fight the second day. They brought a guy with them who was only there to fight the locals for good T.V. How’s that for irresponsible T.V. with producers who turn their heads whenever one of their own does something wrong. They would rather put it on the air for good ratings and their pay. Somebody like MSNBC should do an undercover story on the Paparazzi. Show the real side, how they do illegal things to get their shots. Show how shows like T.M.Z. get these stories and photos, maybe the producers are encouraging illegal methods to get the shots.
I have no problem with anyone taking a photo for pay, just when it's done with no regard for the general public I feel that it's wrong for obvious reasons. One more thing, People like Mathew McConaughey who are constantly being chased by the paparazzi, should have more consideration for their neighbors and or the general public. If I had a bunch of idiots following me around like he did, I'd try to stay away from my neighbor to be respectful, and not to flaunt it and not care.
I've lived in Malibu most of my life and am used to the scene that goes along with the BU, I only wish everybody who is making money on it would be more respectful to the real true Malibu natives. The ones who are proud of their community, the ones who grew up here, the ones who in spite of their rich and famous neighbors try to keep Malibu simple and peaceful.

197. Yay! I have lived in So Cal since Gidget was filmed at Paradise Cove ( I was in second grade. ) Legitimate photographers are ok, but the paparazzi thugs need to disappear and leave the entertainement community alone.

199. Once again, we have a bunch of ignorant people. For all you losers who's condoning this violent behaviour funny how you stay tuned to TMZ to get the lastest scoops on celebrities.

The surfers and some of the loyal visitors of TMZ keep telling the pap to get a job and alot of them are making more money in 1 day than what some of you would make in a year. Do you know why? because ya'll are the same ones tuning in to TMZ faithfully.

TMZ MC is not worth the trouble.. um what did he play in? I sure as hell couldn't name anything off the top of my head.

I also bet if those surfer dudes was NOT WHITE somebody will already be locked up. The courts would have tried them , found them guilty and sentenced by now.

200. The old saying " baby toches the stove once and gets burned and he won't do it again, but if the baby touches the stove again
it will be the baby's fault and all fair game" If you paps come back, it may be hell to pay! Please stay over the hill in the apartments you came from. Nobody here wants to see you on our beaches where we try to keep private for OUR families.

Go get a real job boys!
