Man, I would have loved to see him swinging his handbag, screaming and pulling the hair out of that sleazy papparazzo.

A sign of things to come? My guess is yes. He is already cracking. Sad.

Shouldn’t that headline read, “Photographer Stunned by Bieber?” ;)

In any case, assault is a crime........

Yep, and blocking someone from entering their own vehicle could also be construed as such. There may be different levels of assault, but it was all started by Mr. Paparazzi. Now he's trying to get a few more minutes of fame.

Arguably, the pap instigated a confrontation by blocking access. It can’t be legal to deny someone access to their property.

Not sure what it says about us that there are more replies to this post than any others today.

Well, okay, then.

While it might be more prudent for me to call the police in that type of situation, I'm not sure waiting around for the cops to arrive and tell the guy to scram is in Bieber's or any other celebrity's best interest.

I have lot of disdain for entertainers, but I have more disdain for the photogs. I'd give The Bieb one free punch.

Bieber runs so fast he blows off his hat


I want to know why we don't any pictures of the scuffle. They would be worth some money.
I think Bieber is trying to gain some street cred..but sheesh,,,in purple shoes and Lollipop guild socks?????

[RummyChick]

The Beeber is stunned that he lost his show...Home Boy had to tell him where it was

[RummyChick]

Is this a James Dean shirt???? A mint green shirt???



Dude, where is the Beeb's leather jacket.

[socal_parrot]

Mint green is the new black...or so I’ve heard.

[abb]

That looks suspiciously like a beeber device in his hand...

I don’t think 911 would dispatch a cop if you called and said someone was blocking access to your vehicle. If police won’t respond, then you are essentially being told you have no property rights. Maybe he should have called and said he was being carjacked. The pap WAS trying to take possession of his vehicle away from him, after all.

I completely disagree with people who say celebrities have no rights to privacy in public. You can’t stalk and record regular people in public, and you shouldn’t be able to impede, impose, or photograph celebs against their wishes in public either.

Maybe it was a hot day....and Dean was of course gay.
