Celebrity Justice
Clooney to Sue Paps Over Underage Photos

George Clooney sues paparazziGeorge Clooney is gearing up for a legal war in Italy -- claiming invasive paparazzi climbed over the wall of his Italian home and shot a topless photo of a 13-year-old girl changing in one of his guest rooms.

The photographer also took shots of Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis enjoying private moments in the yard of his estate.

The photos were published in two magazines -- and in a statement to TMZ, Clooney says he's gunning to sue both the mags and the photog who took the pictures.

"We're suing two magazines AND a photographer. I don't know about the law in the United States but in Italy it's illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom.

I draw the line of privacy at that."

--George Clooney

6. i hope his law suit prevails!!!! scummy paps need to be taught a lesson. if i was a celeb i would follow the paps home and shoot pics of them doing their every day routines like feeding their swarms of cats, heating their tv dinners, watching i love lucy in their poop stained hole filled tighty whities while screaming at their moms that live above their basement apartments. but thats just what i would do....

10. i think im with george on this one. if it ends up not being illegal in italy to do that, he should just hire some italian goons to beat the crap out of the photographer, and whoever bought and published the photos.

13. I agree with Clooney. He and his guests must be able to stay private in his home. Please don't make sleazy comments about how you want to see pictures of a topless 13 year-old girl. Go on, GC, sue them.
