Gallery: Celebs vs. the Paparazzi

On her way back from a gym-and-shopping trip last summer, Cameron Diaz slung her shopping bag over her shoulder, "accidentally" smacking the photographer who made the ill-advised decision to follow her. She looks pretty pleased with herself.

Julia Roberts went on a now infamous rant in 2009 when a photographer who had been following her all day tried to act like a friend of hers. Choice quotes include "You get the f*** out of my face, do you understand me?", "You are harassing me. Get the f*** out of my face. You have followed me all over town. I have had it with you.", and "F*** off! Aim higher! Get a life! Get away from me!"

The Biebs ran over a paparazzi photographer while riding on a scooter in Israel back in April. Somehow this makes perfect sense

I don't know about you guys, but Cotton Weary is not a man I would want to piss off. Schreiber went ballistic on the paparazzi when they tried to snap photos of his then-four-week-old son outside a Malibu restaurant in 2007. While it's possible that some lessons in anger management may be in order, you can't really blame the guy for wanting to protect his son. FOUR WEEKS OLD, PEOPLE.

In April of 2008, a mass of photographers (naturally) showed up at Posh's family-only 34th birthday celebration. Becks, however, was not above using his elbow to get the paps out of his family's way.

Who could forget Umbrella Incident?

LAX, 2008: Kanye smashes a very expensive camera. Surprised? Nope.

Sad Keanu hit a photographer with his Porsche while backing out of a parking space in 2007. His camp says that the pap was blocking his way out and that the injuries were minor; the pap claimed that he sustained "serious injuries to the body and severe shock and injuries to the nervous system and person, all of which have caused and continue to cause the Plantiff great mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering." Which is more likely? Let me think about that...

Sean Penn has had a number of run-ins with the paparazzi: In 1987, he was sentenced to 60 days in jail after attacking a photographer; there was an incident at his brother Christ Penn's funeral; and in 2009, he kicked a photographer in the leg. The last one landed him 36 months of probation and 300 hours of community service.

This one is my favorite: Shia LaBeouf throwing his coffee at a photographer and then running away as if all the demons of hell are after him. It's possible that this poor guy wasn't actually a pap, but it's still incredibly funny.

Back in the fall, Russell Brand was arrested at LAX for attacking a photographer. Then again, given that the pap was allegedly trying to snap a picture up then-fiancee Katy Perry's skirt, maybe it was justified.

Miley went to town (verbally) on a photographer snapping shots of her eating lunch with her mother and little sister. All I can think is, "Is Hannah Montana gonna have to choke a bitch?"

Bjork's had a couple of notable incidents; she went postal on a reporter in Thailand in 1996, and in 2008, she literally ripped the shirt off a photographer in New Zealand. Don't let the swan fool you. She's dangerous.

Sam Worthington got a little drunk and turned a pap's camera around on the photographer outside a club in Los Angeles. How meta!

When a photographer started snapping pictures of Lambert and his buddies hanging out on the beach, Lambert responded by tackling the guy. Lesson: Never interrupt a tanning American Idol star.
