Jun 19 2006Bruce Willis fights back
Bruce Willis has filed a defamation suit against the paparazzi photographer who claims he attacked him after arriving at Koi last week. The suit says: "Plaintiff put his hand up in front of his face to shield his eyes from the blinding flash of the cameras in order to be able to see and walk into the restaurant. Goodrich falsely stated that Willis stiff-armed Goodrich, shoved the photographer and pushed his camera into his face, causing injury to Goodrich's nose and teeth."
The suit also specifies Willis didn't physically assault Goodrich and the false allegations of criminal assault have damaged Willis' reputation, career, and standing in the entertainment industry. Which is ironic, because the story is about him punching a photographer in the face and not dancing around in a ballerina outfit. If anything, the story should've boosted his reputation, career, and standing in the entertainment industry. It'd be like suing somebody because they claim you're a bad ass who kicks the shit out of terrorists. Don't sue them. Buy them a car.

Real men also don't say first, they just post.

#3 Are you talking to yourself?
7. jane's eyre - June 19, 2006 7:48 PM
Just saw 16 Blocks this past weekend...it was good, I'd recommend it. Though Bruce looks like crap in it (he's an alcoholic cop).
8. BigJim - June 19, 2006 7:49 PM
@7:
I saw it too, but was disappointed. Brucie didn't kill nearly as many people as in a typical Die Hard movie.

If there's an even lower evolutionary dead end than a celebrity it's a paparazzi. If I were MacLane I would subject this asshole to years and years of painful litigation leading to bankruptcy, divorce, unemployment, and giving fellatio to drunken sexually confused insurance salesmen at Holyday Inn conventions.

Ha! Spoken like a true guy. I half wanted the black dude to die, he had the weirdest, most annoying nasally voice. I had a hard time understanding him.
11. jFp - June 19, 2006 8:10 PM
Naw...a real man litigates, if he does it first. Then a real man would send over a couple of goons after he wins the lawsuit.

EXACTLY!!

Stuff his schlong into the cankerous cavern of Lindsay Lohan's vagina, a real man would not. Mmmmmm.

Bruce Willis's "character" is about as important as the "manny." He stopped being a man when he let Punk'd marry his wife and attempt to raise his children with a big smile on his face.
15. ellaminnowpea - June 19, 2006 9:05 PM
Golly - BigJim has hit ALL the nails on their proper heads...covered ALL the bases on 1, 2 & 4 = I got nuthin'!! He's done it all!! You go BigJim!! (or should we just call you Big?!)
16. krisdylee - June 19, 2006 9:09 PM
BigJim, I love you.
I, being from BC, obviously prefer the Canucks... yet, the Cup (the Holy Grail of hockey fans) has not graced our country for how long? I say bring it home... bring it home....

I'd love to be a publicist for your average slow-witted celebrity. It would just be like making excuses for the hijinks of a drunken spouse, or a slightly retarded younger brother. The phones ringin', people are demanding answers left and right. You're like, Faack, what shit excuse *haven't* I used lately? What can I say now to gain some leeway? "That wasn't strangulation, silly. He was giving you a hug. A hug around the neck!" "Um, this is all just a matter of perspective -- I say 'adjusting shades', you say 'stabbing 37 times in the clavicle.' Potato, potahto. We could stand here playing semantics all night." I love publicists!
18. ellaminnowpea - June 19, 2006 9:39 PM
As a publicist, I'd never last. I'm sure I'd be arrested for beating the shit out of the dumbass celebrities....case in point...Shitney.
I have little patience for stupidity (aka: Lame-ness)
19. MeganHarris - June 19, 2006 10:12 PM
This was the biggest little missunderstanding i've ever seen. that this went this far is ridiculous.
IT"S ON VIDEO GUYS!!! The photographer is fine!
20. Merebear - June 19, 2006 10:47 PM
twentieth! (that's the highest I've ever been so forgive the idiocy...)
Bruce Willis is so sexy that I'd forgive a strong arm, a flick, or a swish... The photographer should kiss his ass for the publicity.

Zed is dead, baby. Zed is dead.
22. krisdylee - June 19, 2006 11:07 PM
Fuck. Next year, guys.
Next year.
23. pixel killya - June 19, 2006 11:32 PM
16 Blocks was very watchable and very forgettable. Not bad, not great, just there is all.
I think Bruce hit the guy accidentally on purpose....just having fun with the face of a paparazzo is all. Kiss and make up boys, you deserve each other.
24. krisdylee - June 19, 2006 11:41 PM
Movies? The latest release I've seen is James and The Giant Peach. I never have time for movies what with the kids, shopping, work, laundry, shaving my pussy and rockin' my hubby's world, walking the dog, being the hottest MILF on the block, I NEVER have the time for movies.
Fuck.

Who's motorcycle is that?
It's not a motocycle, baby, it's a chopper.
Oh. Who's chopper is that?
It's Zed's.
Who's Zed?

Bruce Willis was in Die Hard. Surely this proves that the man can do no wrong?

It's 5:15pm in Hong Kong- and if you were 'strong armed' by Bruce Willis, you'd know.And you'd be grateful. And you'd require stitches.
30. slinkhard - June 20, 2006 6:19 AM
Now he's being just as much of a pussy as the photographer. Yeah, your career must really have been damaged since this came out, what, a week ago.
31. Binky - June 20, 2006 6:36 AM
The guy's been a bit touchy and stressed ever since his marrage was punk'd.

WOOH! Carolina won the cup! I get to see the Stanley Cup in my hometown this weekend! WOOH!
33. Fisher55 - June 20, 2006 11:11 AM

37. Italian Stallion - June 20, 2006 1:34 PM
Stallion: What now?
Willis: What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', paparazzi boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

BigJim, and related Canucks;
Gee, you guys couldn't be a bit crotchety today, because Canada had their ass handed to them by a hocky team from a state that HAS NO SNOW?
Just askin'
39. idiotsevant - June 20, 2006 6:12 PM
#38 the state has no snow but the team has a few canadians:
Williams
Stall
Stillman
Brind'Amour
Recchi
Wesley
Ward (both of them)
Commodore
Whitney
congrats on your win
40. L-Train - June 20, 2006 6:20 PM
Nice Roster. Looks like those Canadians make up most of the first couple lines of the Hurricanes. I guess we know where the talent lies...
41. Stacyy - June 21, 2006 12:54 PM
um if u ask me, it was anything but an accident.. first of all did bruce have to pick his sleeve up to shield himself from the flash, and how come he didnt put his hand near his eyes and before the picture was even taken, he smashed the camera. he was also quite sarcastic when he apologized if you ask me. and u dont get blind going into a club from one flash.
