Paris, Benji Take Down Photobug's Foot

(April 26) - Photographers may want to run in the other direction when they see Paris Hilton and Benji Madden coming, or at least wear a stronger pair of shoes.

The couple faces legal action after reportedly running over a paparazzo's foot with their car Thursday night.

Hilton and Madden, who have been dating since February, left L.A.'s Foxtail nightclub with Madden behind the wheel.

A typical storm of photographers surrounded them. As they pull away though, a cameraman is heard shouting in pain.

Madden leans out of the car to see what the commotion is, but is then told by people in the crowd not to worry about it.

TMZ reported that the photographer spoke to the L.A. Sheriff's Department about filing a hit and run report. A video posted on TMZ shows the cameraman's sneaker, with what appears to be a tire print across it.

what an idiot! If you are running right next to a moving car you deserve way more than just getting your foot ran over! Stupidity leak!!!

i guess i wish his whole body was run over but thats just me! and i hope the guy tries to sue and the case gets dismissed. i also hope that paprazzi law gets passed requiring photogs to stay a cerain distance

I am completely happy that this Pap-idiot bastard had his foot run over. I'm sorry but if I were a celeb and had to deal with people smashed up against my car snapping thousands of photos of me, I would do far more than "accidentally" clip someone's foot! I understand that they should get used to being in the public eye, should they choose to go out and about partying in Hollywood. I just think that they have taken the whole "Papparazzi" thing way too far. There should be a law stating that these weirdos cannot be within so many feet of a celeb while photographing them. I believe that it is an invasion of privacy but also a major harassment to be this close to someone, only for the sake of a photo. After all, we live in the digital age, and you can take a very decent photo of someone from a good distance. I'm glad I'm not famous. All the money in the world would not make it okay for me to be swarmed by this idiots 24 hours a day! WTG Benji!

COMMON SENSE- Cars are heavy, move and could run you over if you get too close! If any regular person did that it would be a duh moment for being that close. I think the Papp are just the scum of the earth. They can't buy a good camera with a zoom? WTF?

It'd be cooler if the story was about Paris Hilton getting run over by a car. That'd be awesome.
