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.

32. This rat is whack since hes on parole perhaps he should serve the rest of his time like regular people have to do. So I guess getting a second chance in life is not enough. He is a violent criminal. After Will was hit with the car he THEN got out and beat him up. That sounds like a violent offender to me.

35. Wow someone who is sorry for their sins gets another chance? His other chance included marrying Erin Naas a victoria secret model and having a newborn baby. What a life that must be. Now his real side is emerging which is that of a vicious violent criminal. He belongs in jail. This boy is not aging well. It must be his new look. That of a man who carries the heavy burden of KNOWING what he did by not pleading guilty and letting everyone get sentenced TWICE of what they were promised. It would have only been an extra 3 years or so. THANKS A LOT LOWLIFE!

38. There should be no mercy. This guy gets a second chance and does this? This is demonstrative of his level of appreciation for getting out of jail. I hope he gets the full sentence!

It's tough to explain why you SHOULDN'T go to jail when you beat a guy you just hit with a car.

40. I used to know this guy back in the day when he was coming up. He used to hang with Lord Michael Caruso of the Limelite and do K with him and suck his shaft back in the twister room. Believe me when i tell you. read his book he eludes to this.

41. It was rumored back in the day that Lord Michael Caruso previously of the Limlite took him under his wing and showed Chris the (velvet) ropes because Chris used to perform sexual acts on him when they where on K. If you read his book you will see that he eludes to this.

42. THis man should be remanded back to Brooklyn where he was originally sentenced now that he violated his parole. And NO BAIL this time . Felony assault? How about attempted murder? Everyone else seems to get charged with that just for thinking about it. This boy was hiding and crying under the table in MDC brooklyn back in 2000. He was also asking for his mommy! How proud his mommy must be now.

43. Remand this filthbag and take his money. He was allowed to commit murder, and countless burgularies and never had to forfeit his money over to the government. He got a free pass from the government and they let him keep ALL of the stolen millions.

44. No wonder why Hollywood women all share the same diseases... they sleep with the same murderer. Sick.
