Keanu Reeves apparently clipped a paparazzo while pulling away from a curb in his Porsche Monday evening in Rancho Palos Verdes. This news comes a week after a paparazzo claimed to be hit by a car Lindsay Lohan was driving.

Look, I take full advantage of pictures taken by the paparazzi, so I have very little leg to stand on here (the 'H' in H-Mac stands for "hypocrite"), but I have to admit, when I hear stories like this, my first reaction is "Good. Bastard probably deserved it."

If you've ever seen behind-the-scenes footage of the paparazzi trying to goad celebrities into smiling for pictures, then you know it's an ugly, ugly scene. I know the paparazzi like to claim that celebs are public figures, and if it wasn't for paparazzi photos, they wouldn't get half the publicity they do.

I think there's a fine line, though, between taking pictures of celebs in highly public places (like L.A.'s The Ivy), and stalking them while they take their kids to school, or jumping in front of their cars while they're trying to drive away.

So, without seeing footage of Keanu's brush with the paparazzo (whose name wasn't released to the press - god knows his privacy must be respected), I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the photographer was probably in Reeves' face, irritating the heck out of him. I mean, have you seen Keanu lately? With his grizzly beard and Salvation Army clothing, homie is not exactly trying to get his mug on the covers of magazines.
