Celebrity Justice
Ex of Madonna, Naomi Busted for Assault

Chris Paciello, Madonna, Naomi CampbellA man once indicted for murder and a notorious celeb womanizer was arrested this morning on felony assault charges, along with the owner of Villa nightclub.

The ruckus started at Les Deux nightclub in West Hollywood, where Chris Paciello -- who has reportedly dated Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez and Niki Taylor -- was hanging out with Cuttino Mobley of the LA Clippers.

The victim allegedly exchanged words with Chris and Cuttino. We're told Paciello left Les Deux, went over to Villa, picked up Villa's owner Reza Roohi and, we're told, the two then went on a hunt for the alleged victim.

They found him at San Vicente and Sunset Blvd. We're told Paciello and Roohi allegedly beat up the victim, though the injuries are not life threatening.

A nearby gas station security camera apparently captured the incident and the video is in the custody of the Sheriff's Department.

Paciello and Roohi currently are being booked on felony assault charges.

Paciello, who is being booked under the name of Christian Luzwigsen, is currently on parole.

Ronald Richards, lawyer for Villa, released this statement: "Mr. Roohi had nothing to do with the dispute, he was merely there to keep the peace. The incident had nothing to do with the bar whatsoever."

UPDATE: TMZ has spoken with the alleged victim, Will Wright. He says Reza was driving and hit Will dead-on with the car. Will says his forehead hit the hood, causing a cut that needed 15 stitches. Once Will flew back and landed on the pavement, he says Paciello got out of the passenger side and gave him the beating.

3. I read a book about this guy. He's bad news.. if he didn't have the connections he has - he'd be spending life in prison without parole. It's unbelievable how "connections" and money are "get out of jail" free cards.

He will get a slap on the wrist ... AGAIN!

10. He is nothing more then a low life piece of cr**. He tries to make it se3em like he is a big gangster but in reality all he is, is a rat.

What was his big criminal life. He drove the getaway car for a home invasion that went wrong and a woman got killed. He was a junkie that was hired for the job. After getting caught he got sentenced to 10 years but becam an informant on anyone and everyone. And got his time reduced.

In federal prison he was and is a bit** with a rat jacket and a salad tosser. Sorry not trying to be disrespectul of gays.

A two bit junkie that that took i in the a** in prison to keep from getting killed.

Now that everyone (his friends in prison that are doing life) know where he is and all the others he tried to rat on know whare he is the boys getting out from La Tuna (FED Pro) will be visiting him.

Villa, lol, if they only knew what all goes on.
