JESUS... I'm fan of Gary's work...
why did he act like that???
No excuses for violence Gary...........
:(

HI, MOM

If you don't wanna be photo'd then get out of the business!!

These guys are only doing a job to pay the bills. When you make the decision to become famous then you have to accept the price that comes with it.

Well...dam if someone doesn't want to be filmed they don't want to be filmed. Have some dam respect for people's personal life. He asked him to stop taping before he commenced to whooping his ass...and he had every right if you ask me. I'd have done the same. Paps are blood sucking vulture fiends! Serves him right. Bet he will stop taping next time...
lololololol

It's because your job is to INTRUDE into peoples PRIVATE lifes. Even if they are outside they are still conducting their own lives.

Seems like more of you would get beat down A LOT more often, honestly!!!

but paparazi realy are too much abusive with celebrities sometimes... they need to respect more!

Pap's need to learn to take good photos from a distance that lets people maintain their personal space. yes they have a job to do, but he has the right to not have a camera up in his face. He asked the camera man to turn off the camera. Guy wouldn't comply so he beat him. Good show Gary!!

Well its great in all that we do have photogs... to take the pics but.... some of them do cross the line... i see it as long as the person being photographed doesnt say anything and just ignores the paps... then its fine.. but if they ask not too. and to stop... then i think the pap should STOP.. especailly where there are kids involved..... ex remember princess Diana... we sure as heck don't want a replay of that... so back off guys/girls! it deserves them right to deck it out.... it just comes to a point where anyone would snap... call it ungreatful or say that it comes with postion of being famous... but whatever happened to just plan an simple RESPECT?

A black actor beats up a white photographer. Where's Rev. Al Sharpton? If it was a white actor who beat up a black photographer, Sharpie would be all over this.

Paps are getting more and more aggressive. That video of the paps hounding Britney's nanny/friend when she was coming out of the toy store and bothering her about what she bought was just ridiculous. Stop getting into people's faces and bothering them over mundane things!

Excellent point made with the invasion of "personal space" in 9:53.....sorry, you guys get no sympathy from me.

I heard the photog completely agreeded to put the camera away from gary and he pursued a fight. I understand a need for pesonal space not to the point of breaking body parts!

First of all...
an innocent photographer- Yeah Right.
Second...
Gary asked the paparazzo to stop filming him, and when the photog wouldn't-- Why didn't he stop. It appears the photog inflamed the situation.
And Finally...
It does seem that violence towards the paparazzi, many of whom are simply doing their jobs, is happening more frequently. However inconvenient stars (or, in the case of the X17 photog, bystanders) might find having their photograph taken, there is simply no excuse for this type of behavior- Photographers are pretty much just unemployed losers who don’t want be bartender or waitresses…So they invade other people lives instead of making something of their own. Don’t whine like babies when the people your bothering put you in your place

X17: You ommitted some of the facts.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER AGREED TO PUT HIS CAMERA DOWN BUT GARY STILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM. THE PHOTOGRAPHER LEFT HIS CAMERA ROLLING JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENED.

Maybe when someone says they don't want their pictures taken, you guys should fucking listen.

there is nothing innocent about stalking someone...the guy was instructed to stop filming the guy...why can't these over zealous photographers listen when someone says no...the celebrities are getting tired of it and i don't blame them...i am not a violent person , but enough is enough..let us not forget what happen to princess di...she could live today to see her children graduate if these stalkarazzi weren't so close to follow her.

dumbass got what was coming to him. haha. i love the way you guys worded this it actually sounds like dude wasn't in the wrong.

That pap guy is kinda hot! Looks like James Blunt a little, but a lot hotter. Get a real job, then maybe you'll get hot dates!

i enjoy coming here and reading about things, but he told the guy to turn the camera off and he didn't. if you want respect, you have to show respect. there are tons of camera hungry idiots out there. find one of them and leave the others alone. paris hilton's getting a little long in the tooth so why not prowl the streets and find someone younger and hotter, please hotter, to take her place. she's a creation of the tabloid media anyway. that should keep you guys busy for a while. but sorry. when a guy is just out doing his thing and you guys keep hounding him? you get what you deserve.

the photo guy should turn to his mommy and ask for a band aid.
all respect to Warren, hope for you that the photog doesn't file a complaint.

Oooohhhh ...he looks wasted!

Boo fucking woo. The photog got knocked down, oh noes!

Sorry, I don't feel sympathy for the photog at all. If someone asks you to stop filming, stop fucking filming.

who is this numbskull anyways? never heard of him, except for this belligerent behavior.

He got what was coming, don't want a beating....stop taking pics when asked!

Paparazzi should stick to paris and people still questioning why the media outlet seems too follow her everysecond, because she's harmless, smile to paparazzi and guarantee selling news

The second someone signstheir first contract that puts them on screen or stage, they are handing off their rights to privacy. They know this. If it is such a problem, there are plenty other jobs out there.

When ASKED to stop filming - Photogs need to STOP FILMING!!!
Or suffer consequences. You may post something bad about the celeb later, but you know what, they will still make million dollar movies. When asked to stop, just f*ckin stop.

paparazzi are the only non-incarcerated human commodity lower than "actors" and, depending on their personalities, drug dealers. this is like watching convicts fight in prison. with the exception of the smallest of shameless vicarious thrills, who cares? also, paparazzi photogs, etc., are in no way "journalists". los angeles is a good place for them.

black people are so ignerent

SO WHY HASNT X17 CHARGED BRITNEY SPEARS WITH ASSAULT AND AND DAMAGES FOR THE PAPS SUV WHE BANGED UP WITH HER UMBRELLA IN FEBRUARY??

THATS FUNNY

Did u notice how small the pap's is? Why did'nt he go after a bigger dude?

Kind of comes with the territory on both sides...celebrities make ass tons of money and sacrifice a lot to get it...they know they will get themselves snapped now and then, photogs also make an ass ton of money for the work they do (see mr. paparazzi's website for some pricing), and do it with the understanding they are undoubtedly going to eventually piss someone off. Just part of the lifestyle, I suppose. It's sad to see people like Brittany and Paris when you watch the video's, I mean, they go to the grocery store or other mundane thing, and have a swarm following them, but they could take themselves off the radar, if they wanted to. They could go to podunk Michigan and have some privacy if they wanted to for a couple weeks, ya know? THEY like the attention about 80% of the time, but someone like this...I betcha we dont' see a lot more pics of him flying around, and he is probably willing to get sued for it too :)

Thats the way u treated when u filming Less than zero Mother Fuckers!!!
U Fucked Csi nobody !!!
Aways they pic the smallest one to do this Kind of shit...

Good lord he is justified in what he did. I wish people would start beating down paps more often, they they would get it through their effing head that what they are doing in not right. we are all as guilty as even for even reading these sites. we are they reason they are employed. But it has to start somewhere if they stopped our lives would keep on going.

paps need to back off, its rediculous. stars who get into the biz yes are asking for press and attention sometimes. But for the most part its for the love if it that they are doing it. Why should they be stalked daily for doing what they love and for following their dreams? PATHETIC!

Sadly however, it will never stop. paps will keep on existing and only getting more intrusive, I just hope they keep getting the shit kicked out of them as a warning what they are doing is wrong!

The photographer has been on the Job for probobly less than a month in los angeles,looks like a camera supplied by TMZ,they have been instructed to keep filming no matter what,theres at least 20 paparazzi video people with no expereince on the street at night at restaurants and nightclubs,

hee hee. poor photographer.

it's like raping someone after they've said no.

karma's a bitch.

You guys need to make sure that you tell the whole truth. When he asked him to stop filming him, he put his camera down and he DID stop filming him. He however didn't shut the camera off, and rightly so. No one deserves to get beat down by just doing their jobs. I am not a big fan of Paris Hilton, but celebs can take a lesson or two on how to handle the pap's. She always makes sure to give them at lease a smile when they photograph her.

I think people in the business need to know that paps will follow them around every where cause it is there job, and it's not just the paps fault the demand for more and more for the stars life who some just really want the attention (britney spears)sad, do people in the goverment who are followed everywhere kick someones ass no then why should some asshole get away with part of the job deal with it

paprazzi are NOT real photojournalists.

it's funny how this industry has grown to the size it has and yet still has not one ounce of ethics.

innocent photog? you need your heads examined. no one deserves to get beat down, of course but that photog should have respected gary's wishes!!!!!!!!

Though a lot of these dudes go overboard - the law says one can't beat the crap out of someone else. If he tried that shit on me, i would have floored him, then spence - who smells like poop - would have shown up for the photo op

Well maybe if you back off when they ask you to this wouldnt happen. Yes these are stars but they should have the right to ask you to back off. Maybe if the paparazzi backed off more often they would be more inclined to be photographed. I dont agree with him bieng physical but come on sometimes they want you to leave them alone and it isnt your right to take pics and video just because they are a star.

You take and post pictures of childrend privates and the beach that is just sick you take pictures of the stars children at daycare and then post the sign of the daycare to which they go to so any FREAK can track them down. I mean come on there should be a line even you dont cross.

i'm going to start a new business - ill beat the shit out of paparazzi for celebs.. i bet i'd rake in the dough.

is he getting fat?

These guys are scum. Accident waiting to happen, ask Princess Di. Outlaw these moronic pathetic pieces of sh#t. License the photographers. What happens when Lindsay or Paris get hurt because of these fools?

DID YOU HONESTLY JUST CALL YOURSELVES PHOTOJOURNALISTS? YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PAPARAZZI STALKERS!!!

neither paparazzi nor "actors" have rights. hollywood celebrities have completely whored themselves out in every way for this kind of attention so that they may then play "mirror, mirror on the wall" when the bottom-feeder/scavenger will-roll-in-shit-for-money paparazzi materialize from their leased autos to play commando. it's a circus through and through. no one's innocent. there is only complete apathy. becker and fagen were right in their comparison of living in los angeles as "living in a morgue." (still, it is a lot of fun!)

rock on 10:58 , it's only a matter of time before someone else gets KILLED.

All paparazzi deserve to get their asses beat. Fucking low-life scum of the fucking earth is what they are!

Yay!!! You go gary! I hope that tit aches for days!!!

He is lucky anynone is taking his picture. just goes to show that he has no class and should of stayed in the Ghetto.... These people think violence is so cool and the only answer thats why most of them never get anywhere in life except prision... Lock him up with Michael Vick.

It's so easy...

If you don't like the attention, get out of the business. Paparazzi have jobs too, ya know!?

I find it hilarious that people on here are saying things like: "Im glad he got beat down" but in fact, you're here on X17.com viewing the work of him and his peers. Can you say HYPOCRITE?

MICHAEL VICK SHOULD HAVE HIS BLACK ASS PUT THROUGH A WOOD CHIPPER AND HIS REMAINS FED TO THE DOGS HE TORTURES.

he got the beat down all paps deserve, you guys are not photo-jouralist anymore your just a bunch of stalkers and thugs. half of you are ex-cons. your scum.

GOod! more fuck celebs shuld do the fucking same you pussies are asshole!!

#1. Paparazzi are NOT "photojournalists." That's as insulting as a stripper calling herself a "dancer." Paparazzi are parasites and bottom-feeders. #2. If a paparazzi is told by someone to get out of the way or stop taking photographs, they'd be wise to do so. It's up to the person, not the paparazzi, to decide if they want their private life recorded. Being famous doesn't automatically turn you into prey to be hunted. You're still entitled to personal privacy and the paps should respect that when someone says STOP. The paps aren't owed anything by anyone.

Gary, stop appearing in tv show, movies if you don't want to be photographed... idiot

Don't act like you care about your photogs X17, and don't try to convince us that they are good, caring decent human beings who deserve more respect than they're willing to give. In fact, look at the pictures, there ain't no paps trying to break this thing up or calm the situation. They'd let someone be killed before they stopped snapping, then they'd continue to take pics!

Boo Hoo, poor stalker!

Boo Hoo, poor stalker!

When you invade peoples personal space consistantly...you take the risk of a explosion. I am honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often.

The photog's are like the lil kids at the mexico border pushing chicklets!

I'd love to see more photogs get their azz whipped.. nice

funny how most people here are blasting the paparazzi, yet you're all here on this site viewing their work!!

I don't understand the scrutiny some people give celebrities by saying that their private time is public time and that it comes with them being a star. I totally disagree. This over zealous papzo's action just started a mere decade ago that photos outside of events, premires and so on became popular. You did not have celebrity gossip magazines like you do now, unless they were talking about the soaps, TV shows or movies. The gossip industry has grown to an all new level that hell even People Magazine who was a news magazine turned into a gossip rag. I don't think that because you are a celebrity that your private time outside of your "job" is invaded. That would be like the everyday worker being owned by his employer after work hours at his personal home. There is a cut off and it should be respected that if there is not a premiere or event that the stars are attending then that should be that. I am guilty myself of viewing a few sites a few times a week but I have even stopped buying magazines and I find myself viewing these sites less and less because I feel for these people who are trying to lead a somewhat normal life but they are put in cages like zoo animals for all to see and I chose to no longer be a supporter of it. The celeb's jobs are to either act in a movie or entertain us through music or public appearances but that does not give us the right to invade every ounce of their space because of who they are. There was a time you only heard about your favorite celeb's through one on one magazine articles, not anymore. Papzo's put the lives of others at risk just to get a photo and what is bad they don't just take a few photos they follow these poor lads from home to restaurants, vacations, or whatever and continue snapping until they are unable to snap them anymore because they are out of their view. That to me is intrusive enough. So to me the papzo's have no right to invade their space and as long as there is a thirst from the general public for more info on their favorite celebs the papzo's are not going anywhere because they are paid generously by the magazine exec's to get the million dollar shot! So, if we as a viewing public want this to end we would have to stop buying the gossip magazines, stop viewing the gossip sites and just wait for our favorie celebs to release their next new project or grant a personal interview to magazines like vogue, red book, etc. like they did years ago.

It is a person's right to take pics as long as they are not on private property. Not to mention the fact that if there wasn't an audience for these pics that the paps take (THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS) then there wouldnt be any. People like yall who are commenting are exactly the same people perpetuating the cycle. ANd by the way , celebs LIVE to have their pics taken. If you want to live your life in the public then face the concept that you lose some privacy.

If the CSI actor didn't want to be photographed, THEN HE SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE TO HYDE!!! THERE ARE DOZENS OF PAPS THERE! IDIOT! I know the paps are aggressive but if he wants his privacy, there DOZENS of other low-key places in LA he could have gone to and Not be photographed! Celebs are fake and hypocrites because they say "Leave me alone," but then get mad and seek out attention if no one gives a shit about them anymore! I hope all this bad press gets him fired from his TV show, then his wish will come true and NO ONE WILL BOTHER TO TAKE HIS PICTURE... EVER!

Funny that everyone is downing paps ~ why do you log on to x17 then? You aren't researching anything here just reading the gossip and stories that they have. If you don't like the paps so much then stop reading the sites and mags. Also, I think the photog was in the right not the actor He gets paid millions for us to see him, and if he doesn't want us to see him geeked out don't go to Hyde to see your dealer!!!

The actor was high on something.

--funny how most people here are blasting the paparazzi, yet you're all here on this site viewing their work!! --

Yea.. but I have a Britney spears obsession, so I only come here to see whats up with her. I only click on the other celebrities when stories involve her or seem interesting. ( like this on ).
Eva and her husband... no thanks. they don't interest me in the least.

The photographer need to file a Police Report, and press charges. If the City Atty won't press charges, then there is more to the story then the pictures reveal. The Photo guy can also hire a lawyer and file a civil suit. Good luck...with an L.A. Jury.

12:11 It's a person's right to take pictures if not on private property. You are right it is, therefore it should be the celeb's right to run over the person on public property who are in the middle of the street running in front of there car to get the pic. I agree they should be allowed to take a pic, but don't fucking run in front of a car to get a picture then sue the celeb for money because they hit you! Fucking pieces of shit!!!!!!

haha loser! wonder if he got a shot of the ground he was on!!!
looks good on you guys!

i agree that they are doing their job but they have taken that job too far..even celebrities need some space.

GOOD FOR HIM!!! Maybe the paparazzi should learn some respect for other peoples space. Seems like your mamma didnt teach you too well. And you thought some of the stars have problems, Maybe their biggest problem is you, Lets see if you guys didnt stalk every move they make, they wouldnt have so many problem. A professional photographer needs to get a signature from a person before they publish anyones picture. You are paparazzi Not a photographer you get in peoples way cause stress, accidents, Tax payer dollars for police, give me a break I see lots of law suits coming your way. Gimme a break.

Hmmm, let's see.

"Gary asked the paparazzo to stop filming him, and when the photog wouldn't, Gary grabbed the camera and threw the photog to the ground."

I love how this photog was "innocent." Hilarious. Get a clue already.

I don't blame him. I can imagine sometimes these 'stars' want to be left alone. It's crazy. I like some photographs of the stars but is it really necessary to photograph their every waking move? This guy is going out to a bar...leave him alone if he asks you to do so. R-E-S-P-E-C-T !! I don't know how people like Paris and the others can take all of the flashes all of the time. No wonder these people are messed up and crazy (and Paris is messed up it seems..she tries to look happy but she's got somethings going on inside of herself for sure..that's obvious). I say, if a person asks you to stop taking their picture then do so. If they don't mind then take it. Perhaps if you give them peace when they want it they will smile for you when you want them to.

neither the hollywood celebrity nor the papparazzi could exist without one another, especially in these times. it's bullshit. the line between the two is also very, very thin. the paparazzi are probably failed or aspiring actors and the successful actors will cry and cry when the attention falls away. meanwhile, the trash of p.r., mgmt and agencies watch from their lofty heights, too good to really have anything to do with such nonsense, yet too cowardly and without the courage to put themselves on the line. welcome to los angeles! wheee!

It makes me laugh when you people comment on how the paparazzi are losers then TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT CELEBRITY WEBSITES LIKE X17!!!! YOU ARE THE ONE BUYING THE MAGAZINES AND KEEPING THIS INDUSTRY IN MOTION!Who are the real losers here?

After the assault, he threatened everyone who saw it and said he knew all the police, then terrorized him by chaseing him around town in a car. THUG

that white ass photog should have his ass kicked...now he knows what stop means...the moron.

that white ass photog should have his ass kicked...now he knows what stop means...the moron.

If you don't want to photographed, go to IHOP instead of Hyde. That's like sitting on the patio at the Ivy and being surprised the fotogs are there.

BTW - who the F**k is Gary Dourdan?

YEAH YEAH X17, IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED YOU WOULD BE SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO CHANGE PROFESSIONS IF YOU'RE GOING TO CRY.

"photojournalists" Puleeeze. Paps are the lowest form of scum on the earth. Please beat more of them.

Fuck the photog... they harass the shit out of people, and make a nuisance of themselves... I'm sure somewhere down the line he deserved to have his pussy little ass beat down...

I agree with everyone here. You pops cross the line. I mean if I were Britney or someone like that and had you in my face 24/7 and probably be in jail by now. I see the video's with you pieces of crap everywhere. There's like 50 of you guys getting in the celebs way as they walk, in fron to front of their cars as they try to leave, in the flippen drive thru windo while the get a burger. Seriously, it may be a job but to me, it's more like stalking. If any normal person were followed around 24/7 by any other normal person they would have a restraining order with no problem. It's pretty much stalking if you ask me!

Nah, this black dude was higher than shit on something. After he beat the white dude he got on his bike and chased the white dude's car for 15 minutes. Nobody who is stable does that.

Let's see now. Gary rides up to the paps on his fancy Ducati, asks for trouble then proceeds to go after this apparently young photographer all the time wearing his helmet & leathers.

You go girl, I'm impressed.

HAHAHA!! Craparazzi got his ass kicked. I wished he would have beaten him a little more, like a couple of bodyslams right on the concrete.

Oh well , comes with the territory, if you are going to be all up in peoples grills then expect a beat down every now and then

Hahaha! A craparazzi got his ass kicked, I wish Gary had picked this asswipe up and slammed him against the floor a couple of times. Now, that's entertainment. I hope more craparazzis get their asses kicked more often, bunch of parasites, no, excuse me, "photo journalists". RIIIIGHT!

I say... F THE PAPARAZZI
they are SCUMBAGS who are UNEDUCATED
LAZY and WORTHLESS

my 2 cents

this is so not a black/white thing, this is a function of hollywoodland and does nothing more than reveal the level of behavoir required to survive as either version of scum -- that is, actor or paparazzi. they are but two spokes on the hollywood wheel of scum to which x17 is dedicated and to which all of us subscribe for bullshit laughs. none of this has value. no one cares at ALL about either of those would-be/might-be convicts but themselves. if someone can make a dime off of their bizarrely naked interaction, that person wins. in this case, x17, way to go!

'innocent' photographer....well if the idiot photographer stopped taking pictures then he wouldn't have been hurt! no sympathy whatsoever for paparazzi when hurt

You can dish it out but can't take it. Since you make a tidy sum exploiting these public figures, turnabout is fair play

The paparazzo provocated the violence. He was asked to stop. The paparazzo didn't stop to film, though.

It's a different kind of violence - not physical but mental violence - to take photos of people who don't like to be photographed.

Teach your photogs to stop if someone asks them to stop. Then x17 doesn't have to complain about violence.

let's settle everything with bloodshed! If you don't want to be photograph then don't go to a hollywood hot spot. Everyone that goes to these types of clubs want to be photographed. I think this loser from CSI wanted some attention

While I do think that the paparazzi invade privacy too much and do not respect the requests of people, I don't believe violence is the answer. Both sides are at fault here.

I love it! All of your freaky stalkers need the crap beat out of you, when people say "leave me alone " they usually mean it. Kinda like no means no.

A celebrity is a human being for crying out loud. Just because you are famous does not mean a man wiht a camera should be in your face all the time filming you. Come on that is common sense

Anonymous 10:27, they didn't charge brit b/c they make a buttload of money off the pics.... That is what you would call an exclusive.

You all are knocking the paps but you come to X17 - where do you think all the pics here come from? If you hate paps then boycott their work by avoiding all tabloids and gossip sites.

their job???NO they are stalkers and i am shocked that this doesnt happen more often.maybe if they got their ass kicked more often they would learn to keep their distance!

att hypocrite the reason for comment page is to comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope to see more of it. I believe it is an invasion of privacy to take anyone's photo without the persons permission. I am sick of the whole crap about just doing there job. A hitman is just doing his job but that doesn't make it right. Why can't you find a classier way of "doing your job"? Any other profession people would be jailed for the behavior that is displayed by so called Professional Photo Journalist.

I thought it was a TMZ paparazzo??????

He Deserves what happened to him.!!!!!!

Well, I do not agree with violence at all. There is no reason that anyone should put their hands on another person. BUT damn you beotches STALK these people!!! They can't even breathe! you are invading their territory. You shoudn't even be close enough for them to put their hands on you....

it was a tmz pap.and he had no right to put his hands on that pap. he could have just as easily walked in to the club, and that would have been the end of it. i mean his pic prolly isnt worth much money. if he didnt want to be photograped he shouldnt have gone to a place where paps are always hanging out at. the pap was doing what he always does, he didnt ask that gary dude to show up. i hope that pap sues him. and if u people hate the paps so much then stop looking at sites and buying magazines that get their pics from there. u are the ones paying the paps bills, cuz the websites and magazines make their money from their viewers who look at this stuff.

Fuck'n nigers

i think that gary was looking for a fight. i hope one day when an actor crosses the line and puts their hand on a pap for no reason, the actor gets their ass whooped. then maybe celebrities will think before they act.

Nobody gives a shit about this shitty actor anyway... he should have been hapy that someone was taking his photo, dumb fucking idiot!
he needs to have charges pressed for assault!!!
