"I don't have time," "I have to go," or "Sorry, I don't sign" -- all appropriate responses if a celeb doesn't want to sign an autograph. Shooting them six times with an air gun is not.
That's what a lawsuit claims rapper Method Man did to a fan outside of a show in Houston, Texas in November 2008. According to a lawsuit filed last week, Mary Anderson tried to get an autograph from Method Man after the show by handing him her ticket stub.
Anderson claims that's when Method "pulled out an air gun and ... began firing pellets." Anderson says she was struck at least six times.
She is suing for unspecified damages. A rep for Method Man had no comment.

Oh, Lord! U-God, a current and performing member of the Wu-Tang Clan is actually suing his own band's music label, alleging that they owe him $170,000. Protect ya wallet!
In papers filed in District Court in New York, U-God (real name: Lamont Hawkins) says that Wu Music -- which is licensed to Universal Music -- owes him the loot for a variety of his god-given hip-hop services rendered, including a tour, albums, and a European record contract, all arranged starting in March 2007.
U-God has feuded with the Wu before, leaving the band in 2004 over a reported dispute with bandmate The RZA. He's since rejoined, and oddly enough, the group will be performing tomorrow night in New York City. Wu-Tang's lawyer did not return a call for comment.
