Paparazzi pique over Diaz

Los Angeles (AP): Two photographers sued Cameron Diaz and her boyfriend Justin Timberlake for assault and battery, claiming the celebrity couple taunted and attacked them outside a fancy hotel. Saul Lazo and Jose Gonzalez said the Charlie?s Angels star and the pop singer threatened them as they tried to photograph the couple on November 6. The lawsuit filed yesterday said the photographers, on assignment for a photo agency, did nothing to harass the couple and stood more than three meters from them until Diaz ran at Lazo, hit him in the neck and tripped him, snatching his camera. Timberlake then allegedly screamed at the bleeding photographer: ?What... are you going to do, man? I know you are not going to do anything.?
