Woody Harrelson - Paparazzi Photographer To Sue Woody Harrelson

A paparazzi photographer has filed a $2.5 million (£1.25 million) lawsuit against actor Woody Harrelson claiming the star broke his camera and assaulted him two years ago.

MSN UK cites court documents showing Josh Levine was working for celebrity website TMZ.com when he was filming Harrelson in Hollywood in June 2006.

Mr Levine claims the actor broke his video camera, choked him and instructed his bodyguard to attack him also.

No official comment has yet been made by Harrelson or his representatives regarding the law suit.

Mr Levine alleges he still suffers mental, physical and emotional pain as a result of the incident and he has also filed a lawsuit against the unnamed bodyguard.

Harrelson is currently filming a number of differing projects and was last seen in Will Ferrell's basketball comedy Semi-Pro.

Last year, he also starred in the Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men.

Dennis Farina hit with weapons charges

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Officials on Wednesday charged actor Dennis Farina with three counts of carrying a loaded weapon stemming from his May arrest when the former cop was stopped by airport security on his way to board a plane.

The actor, perhaps best known for playing New York Police Detective Joe Fontana on television crime series "Law & Order," faces up to 2 1/2 years in jail and $3,000 in fines if convicted on all three misdemeanor counts, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's office said.

Late in May, the Los Angeles County District Attorney decided against filing felony charges, which would have carried stiffer penalties, and referred the case to the city attorney.

City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said the office "felt these (misdemeanor) charges were appropriate."

Farina, 64, faces one count of carrying a weapon into a secured area, which carries a sentence of as much as six months in jail and a $1000 fine.

He also faces a second count of possession of a concealed weapon and a third count of possession of a loaded weapon in a public place. Each of those charges carries a maximum penalty of up to 1 year in jail and a $1000 fine, Mateljan said.

Farina is due to be arraigned on Thursday, but he does not have to appear in court.

The actor was a policeman in Chicago for nearly 20 years before building a Hollywood career mostly playing detectives. He has starred in movies like "Get Shorty" and "Sidewalks of New York."

On May 11, Farina was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after he tried to get by security guards with the .22 caliber, semi-automatic pistol in his briefcase.
