Bodily harm is ok if it’s during the morning coffee run

Only Wednesday, and already we have a celebrity arrest that doesn’t involve Pete Doherty:

Film star Jude Law has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a photographer outside his west London home, police said Wednesday.

The Hollywood hunk, 34, was said to have tried to grab the lensman’s camera outside his house in the plush Maida Vale district, according to The Sun newspaper.

The photographer was alleged to have suffered minor injuries in the incident.

It probably happened on the morning this shot was taken, in which case can you really blame him?

Where did I put those phone numbers I collected last night?

I would have done the same thing, plus bludgeon the photographer to death with his camera, run over the still warm corpse with my hybrid vehicle and then send the dry cleaning bill for my blood-soaked cardigan to his family. Lack of fame aside, this is why I tend not to have photographers following me around as I do my daily business.

    Agreed. I do not, in general, have a lot of pity for the pursued and famous, but photographing someone pre-caffine is really beyond the pale.

    I disagree; he looks twenty times more adorable like this than duded up in a tux. It reminds me of that wild night in Edinburgh…but I mustn’t gossip.

    And if you don’t want to be photographed getting coffee, send a servant. If you don’t want a DUI, take a limo. Life is easy for rich people. Besides, he wasn’t that messed-up; if you’re truly out of it you wear the loafers, because you can’t manage laces.

    It’s not the dishevelment I mind as much as the inappropriate pocket pool. Jude! Dude! Wait until you get home!
