Guards Bust Paparazzi at Jolie-Pitt Chateau

Posted Jul 25, 08 11:06 AM CDT in Crime & Courts,  Gossip 

(AP) – It sounds like a scene from Fight Club. French police say camouflaged paparazzi infiltrated Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's estate and then got into a scuffle with the security staff. Both photographers and guards were taken in for questioning and filed legal complaints accusing the other of battery and causing injury.

"One can imagine that if you discover someone in your garden who is taking your photo then you're not necessarily going to politely show them the way out," said a police spokeswoman. She added that this was the first time the cops had been called to the property since the Jolie-Pitt family and staff moved in earlier this year.
