WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hollywood celebrities are at war.
Their target: the very people who help make them stars — photographers.
In recent months, three young A-list actresses have been in dangerous chases or collisions involving swarms of SUV-driving paparazzi.
Lindsay Lohan, 19, suffered cuts and bruises after her Mercedes was smashed by a minivan driven by a photographer; Scarlett Johansson, 20, sideswiped a car while fleeing swarms of paparazzi who had chased her for an hour; and Reese Witherspoon, 29, claims photographers used their vehicles to box in her car outside her gym, then followed her home, where they blocked her gate.
The stars and their handlers say some celebrity photographers are out of control, having crossed the line from doing their jobs to breaking the law.
"They'll do anything to provoke the stars," says legendary Hollywood publicist Warren Cowan, who has guided the careers of Paul Newman and Kirk Douglas and whose firm now handles red-hot Eva Longoria. "They really are stalkers."
The stars are fighting back.
