As sort of an omen that precluded a violent altercation with a paparazzi, singing sensation Justin Beiber got in some boxing lessons from potent pugilist Mike Tyson just hours before.

Justin Bieber fights paparazzi is the headline after Bieber allegedly posted up a photographer near his home Calabasas, Calif., a prosperous suburb outside Los Angeles that’s renowned as a residence of the Whore-dashians, er, Kardashians.

Bieber and boo Selena Gomez had already split the scene by the time law enforcement showed up on the scene. The photographer was transported to a nearby hospital and later released.

Witnesses told the police that the paparazzi instigated the confrontation with Bieber.  They said the photographer purposely blocked in Justin’s by standing in the way as the singer was trying to leave.  Going from frustrated to irate after repeated pleas for the photographer to get out the way so he could leave, Justin got out of the car and asked the guy to move away but he wouldn’t, and a scuffle allegedly ensued.

Witnesses on the scene also told the cops that the photographer got tips from a lawyer at the scene about calling an ambulance and filing a police report in order to set himself up for a big payday via a lawsuit.

This is not the first violent confrontation between celebs and photos, with some tragic consequences ensuing. Below are some of the most violent encounters between celebrities and the photographers seeking to get that big payday picture.

Usher’s Alleged Mistress Revealed 

The identity of the woman who’s been named as an alleged mistress of Usher Raymond has been revealed. As previously reported, the ongoing child custody battle between Usher and his ex Tameka Foster has taken a nasty turn; a turn that’s mentioned the singer’s infidelity with two members of Foster’s bridal party. Most recently Foster’s attorney called out one of those women by name and alleged that Maya Fox Davis was one of the women that not only served as a bridesmaid in the couple’s nuptials but later slept with the singer. According to Foster and her representation, one of the couple’s nannies left Miami because she discovered Usher in bed with the woman while the couple was on a family vacay.

With that new information on hand, pictures of Davis have hit the net that not only show her on Raymond’s wedding day but with the singer and his son who she affectionately kissed on the lips.

After pictures of Davis hit the net, she tweeted online, “Loose lips, sink ships”, a possible reference to the situation at hand. Her ex-friend Tameka obviously got word of the alleged mistress’ tweet and wrote online, “Really?? first U creep now U tweet. Loose lips sink ships huh??..more like Loose chicks turn tricks!”

Drama!
