Could there be an epidemic of camera rage sweeping celebs?

The New York Post reports that Nicole Richie became so enraged when a Swedish fan tried to take her picture outside an after-party for Charlotte Ronson's show, that she "jumped over the velvet rope, ripped the camera out of the girl's hand, and smashed it to the ground," and screamed "I am not an animal!"

Really?

Does that sound like the new mellowed-out mama?
