With all the attention on Tila Tequila, Charlie Sheen, and Tiger Woods lately, I wonder if Lindsay is feeling left out? There’s no need for her to feel neglected. If she wants some attention, all she needs to do is publish some photos of her wearing a horrible outfit on a Sunday night– she’s sure to get written up. But I guess having your driver nail a papparazo on a Saturday night will also do the trick.
Her driver was picking her up from the Hotel Cafe late Saturday night when the paparazzi crowded around the vehicle. One of the photographers was struck as it was pulling away. That photog later told medics (e.g. a drunk chick who’d been in the same bar) that it was a “hit and run” and that he’d hurt his hand. The driver of the vehicle is now a “person of interest” in a criminal assault with a deadly weapon investigation.
Judge for yourself who you think is to blame for this incident. It looks to me like the paparazzo got nailed because he crowded around the vehicle as it was trying to drive away– very quickly. I’d hardly call an injured hand a “hit and run,” especially if it was injured because you wouldn’t get your dumb ass out of the car’s way as it was driving off.
Frankly, I’m surprised so few of them end up getting run over with the way they swarm celebrity cars like locusts and often just stand there and refuse to get out of the way. It shouldn’t be a crime to hit someone who plants themselves in front of your moving car and refuses to move, all the while taking pictures of you that you don’t want them to take. A few badly maimed or squashed paparazzi might tone these lunatics down a bit. No one deserves the harassment they dish out.
Well said!
The paparazzi deserve to get hit when they do stuff like that. Same for protesters and people acting a fool after sporting events.
I see that it looks like the car did not hit him at all do to this angle of video are there any others? So it looks like the paparazzi is looking to get himself some money and or recognition, by faking is own injury and or negligence to his own part.
“I almost died, bro.” Is this guy for real? I have trouble seeing this as a hit and run and hearing of this guy’s post- incident interactions, it’s all but obvious that a civil suit payday is the primary thing in his sights. While the pap claimed that he almost died, he ultimately declined to go to the hospital. Smart move.
The car was in a narrow driveway and in order to have been hit by the car, tons of fun had to have been standing right in front of the car when it was clearly about to depart. I probably feel more sorry for that sweet ride than I do for the pap.
This incident will be investigated by authorities and probably go nowhere due to some version of a lack of evidence.
Fortunately for him, it appears that this guy does have an alternate meal ticket.
I am interested to hear how this one turns out legally. There are a few kids I wouldn’t mind bumping every now and again when I pass the local high school when school lets out.
I think this falls under the category “I broke his fist with my face”.
Or something like that.
It doesn’t even really look like the car even touched him, you just see him jump back out of the way.
Fuck that, I’ve been hit by a car and I didn’t have a huge whine about it and it was worse than whatever this is.
From that first photo it looks like she’s already been in a hit and run.
His left hand was not near the car in the video here…he held the cam with 1 hand, right… loser looking for money; he finally figured out what the girl was telling him and yelped like a bitch … the paps are the lowest form of life.
I really think it shouldn’t be a crime to run them over, or beat the shit out of them. I don’t care. You get what you give, they’re disrespectful, and they’re rude, so celebrities get to be disrespectful and rude as well. It’s amazing what some of these idiots would do to get a picture, and to get 5 minutes of fame. What a moron, saying he almost died.. Grow the fuck up.
Is she maybe off the crack? She looks cuter in that shot than I’ve seen her in a long time.
Or maybe I just like her outfit. She looks…cleaner.
Totally off topic, but I love her jacket
This guy’s a fucking douche! Seriously? Get a life dude! His hand was nowhere near the car! I hate these people! And I’m not even famous! If I were I’d probably be like a paparazzi serial killer or sth.. LoL Ok.. not funny, but I still hate those bastards!
That photo of her is exactly what she’ll look like in her coffin this year!!
he deserved it. Stand out in front of a car and you get it. Scumbag!
How long before Lohan ditches Marilyn and gets herself a Princess Diana tatoo?
