Mar 13 2007Leonardo DiCaprio's bodyguards arrested
Two of Leonardo DiCaprio's bodyguards were arrested by Israeli police yesterday after getting into a fight with photographers near the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Bar Refaeli were visiting the site when photographers started up a media frenzy and a fight broke out.
I thought I was the only one who got into fights with photographers. I get it. I'm ridiculously good looking. That doesn't give you the right to hide in my closet to get a shot of me changing. I'm more than a piece of meat. Although I understand the interest. A woman once caught a glimpse of my abs and then burst into flames. True story.
Some video of the incident after the jump, in case the above photo wasn't quite satisfying enough.
UPDATE: The bodyguards have been released and cleared of all charges, and a restraining order has been issued against the photographers for being aggresive.

I'm sure I'm the only one in the WORLD who thought Leo ruined 'Titanic'. Never been a fan.

I found the Angry Whale Attacks Boat In Japan video more entertaining.

Wow, huge news.
I guess Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears are in comas.

Good,
I'm not a fan of Paparazzi, but celebrity bodyguards have been getting away with too much for too long.

#2- Where is Jan Michael Vincent when you need him?

I'd hit it.

What they didn't arrest him? It should be the law that if your bodyguards assault someone YOU should be arrested and taken in for processing...and getting beaten to death.

His girlfriend's name is Bar? Jesus...there are so many different directions to go with this one........

Who the hell goes crazy over fat DiCaprio, they living in 1997 over there?

WTF, I thought they had broken up. Now they're visiting Judaism's holiest site together? What's next, will he convert to Judaism? I'd like to see Leo as an Orthodox Jew or Hassid. He could be like the Matisyahu of Hollywood, and insist on playing all of his roles in his locks and bowler hat. Even the action ones. Especially the action ones.

14. veggi - March 13, 2007 10:08 AM

#2, Titanic is a great movie and Leo did a great job in it.
18. marist89 - March 13, 2007 10:32 AM
Since when does anybody but Al Gore give a crap about Leonardo DiCaprio? I'd like to see those bodyguards try to stuff themselves into his Prius...
19. DrPhowstus - March 13, 2007 10:39 AM
@7 -- By "I'd hit it" I'm assuming you mean the pavement when Leo's guards dangle you off of a balcony and accidentally lose grip.
The whole bodyguad thing always reminds me of what pussies these fuckheads are whenever I see them play tough guys on film.

nothing says crapapapparozzi like a cool motorcycle (or 1980s michael jackson) jacket

@19- hey dr dumbo. It's funny- you know, the whole fighting thing..... hit it..... it's called sarcasm. get some.
22. JustAnAsshole - March 13, 2007 10:49 AM
#8 and 18. I'm in total and complete agreement. This bastard deserve's a savage beating of legendary proportions. The time of mine he's wasted. He should suffer too.
23. N@ughty - March 13, 2007 10:50 AM

24. veggi - March 13, 2007 10:51 AM

25. Hemlock Queen - March 13, 2007 10:53 AM
Dude, I'd want some meaty bodyguards too if I was being mobbed like that. But I'm too cool for paparazzi. lol
26. N@ughty - March 13, 2007 10:56 AM
oh yea! leo must be a real punk. i woulda took out a AK-47 and just shot the shit outta all of them and told everyone i was the new Billy the Kid or some crap. maybe he would be more populat than he is now instead of being known as a has-been.

29. DrPhowstus - March 13, 2007 11:43 AM
#21 - Hmmmmmmm...... I checked the dictionary and, nope, that comment wasn't funny. And sarcasm would be more like "Veggi, stop... my sides... your fucking killing me with your wit....." See how that works?
30. FRIST!!! - March 13, 2007 11:43 AM
Awwww...I loved him in Growing Pains....

#1 Hey fifth stooge, fuck you.

One thing Arabs and Israelis can agree on is Leonardo DiCaprio needs his ass beat. Might I suggest the next Middle-East peace summit conclude with a DiCaprio execution to seal the deal? We may see peace in our time yet...
34. Fifth Stooge - March 13, 2007 1:14 PM
#32- Sober up and then we'll talk.
35. imran karim - March 13, 2007 1:18 PM
he's getting attacked
36. whitegold - March 13, 2007 1:34 PM
i wonder how much you have to pay these guys to have your own personal bodyguards. that'd be pretty cool. i bet if i had bodyguards the paparazzi would show up to take pics of me. they wouldn't know how i was, but they'd figure i must be important since i have my own security. then i could tell my bodyguards to fight the paparazzi and i'd record the fights and sell them online and make enough money to afford to live like a celebrity. hmm, that just might work...
as for Leo, he's alright, he makes some damn good movies, i can respect that.
and google his gf...name might be funny but DAMN SHE'S HOT!!!
37. daylin - March 13, 2007 3:18 PM
wait,wait! so i'm assuming Leo was not over there trying to negotiate lower gas prices for the rest of us who dont want to look like the first float in the gay parade with our electric car! Well crappers to that then!
I NEED A GAS DEALER!
38. Lowlands - March 13, 2007 5:00 PM
Those paparazzi they need to get a lesson.They even can't behave themself properly on this location.
39. www.celebritypwn.com - March 13, 2007 8:47 PM
That is pretty crazy. Leo has been in some amazing movies lately though. Hes not that skinny kid anymore.
