Charlie Sheen is paying for the funeral of the paparazzi photographer who died while following Justin Bieber's car.
The Anger Management star has paid a generous $12,000 towards 29-year-old Chris Guerra's burial costs after hearing through a photographer pal that his family was trying to raise funds for the service, due to be held on Friday.
"A tragic incident like this erases the line between the photographer and the subject. It's an unforgiving moment that begs us all to be human and work as one to prevent this in the future. As parents, we are all not supposed to bury our children. My deepest condolences to the families involved," the 47-year-old actor told TMZ.
The kind-hearted star was shocked by the news that Chris was struck by a car on New Year's Day while crossing a busy road in Los Angeles after trying to capture a shot of Canadian singer Justin's white Ferrari. Justin was not in the vehicle at the time, having lent it to two friends.

Britain's Duchess Catherine and Prince William have won an injunction preventing a magazine from publishing further topless pictures of the brunette royal.
Mondadori France, French Closer magazine's publishing company, will be fined $13,000 a day if they publish further topless paparazzi images of Catherine sunbathing or transmit them to a third party via email or any other means, it has been ruled in a French court today. It was also decided that Mondadori - owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - will have to pay $2,600 towards legal fees.
A court in Nanterre, near Paris, opened a separate criminal investigation earlier today over the publication of the images in the magazine after a formal complaint was made on behalf of Catherine and William, who are currently in the final stages of an Asia Pacific tour. The initial investigation will be carried out by BRDP, a branch of the French police. The decision will allow a prosecutor to decide whether or not to proceed with a full investigation into whether Closer magazine and the photographer broke the couple's right to privacy. Separately, the board of a newspaper that published the topless photos will meet today to consider closing the paper, it said.

Lindsay Lohan claims she is not responsible for a paparazzo being hit by her car.
Photographer Grigor Baylan claims he was run over by a car being driven by Lindsay's assistant in January 2010 when the actress was trying to make a quick departure from a Hollywood nightclub, but Lindsay insists it was his own fault. Gossip website TMZ reports Lindsay claims Mr. Balyan "carelessly put himself near a moving automobile" and caused his own injuries and she shouldn't have to pay anything.
The photographer's lawyer, Neil Steiner, previously said that the actress was being targeted in the case because her assistant was at the wheel and operating under her instruction. Mr. Steiner said he had contacted Lindsay's insurance company to settle the claim but they only made an "insignificant offer." The lawyer insisted he was only seeking "reasonable compensation" for his client, who received hospital treatment following the incident.

The 30 Rock actor was involved in a scuffle in New York City where he squeezed a paparazzo's arm and verbally blasted him. The incident took place in the middle of the street outside the star's apartment building, where he was seen shouting profanities while holding a pink stuffed animal toy according to website TMZ.com.
After the photographer allegedly told a local resident to "f**k off" when he was asked to leave the area, Alec waded in. "I want you to shut the f**k up ... leave my neighbor alone ... get outta here," he said.
In a video obtained by the website, Alec later adds insult to the man, saying, "You little girl."
The New York Police Department is still investigating the actor for an assault outside a court incident.

Paris Hilton Started a Fight With Photographer

The Hilton hotel heiress was captured on camera in a physical altercation with paparazzi member Billy Barerra on Tuesday. According to Billy, she was worried he had caught her doing something bad.
"It was 3:30 in the morning, the party was over and I was just walking through the parking lot to go to the bathroom when I see Paris, so I turned on my camera. I wasn't expecting to get jumped! I've shot Paris a lot and am always nice to her," he said.
Shortly afterwards her entourage -- including heir Brandon Davis -- tried to take the camera from him: "Paris was acting like she was on drugs. I know drugs, I've seen a lot of people on them, and Paris is one of them. She attacked me for no reason, like you can see on the video, but what you don't see is that she was hanging off my neck like a piggy back ride as I walked up to the next garage level. Her friends all started attacking me and no one could see us until we got up to that next level, and that's when I yelled for help and the other paps came running and shot some video."

The 30 Rock star was leaving the New York City Marriage License Bureau with fiancee Hilaria Thomas when he got into an altercation with paparazzo Marcus Santos.

According to the publication, Alec grabbed a second photographer, prompting Marcus to tell him to back off. "I said, 'Don't touch him.' I knew he was going to attack me. I stepped back, and he kept coming. He comes after me, starts shoving and punching me - one time, right in the chin. And then he started shoving me, and pushing me. Then he goes the other way," Marcus added.
"He was like crazy, you know? There was an eruption of mad. ... You're going to get a marriage license, you should be happy. What happened with this guy?" added fellow photographer Goran Veljic.

Justin Bieber will be quizzed by police over his alleged brawl with a photographer.
The 'Boyfriend' singer was reportedly involved in an altercation with a photographer in a shopping center car park in Calabasses, California, in May, and is expected to be called in for questioning when he returns to the US.
Lawyer Anahita Sedaghatfar - who is not connected with the case - told Fox News yesterday, "He will definitely be called in for questioning. This is a high-profile case which has gotten a ton of media attention. The police will have to dot their Is and cross their Ts for sure. However, Bieber is under no legal obligation to talk to the police. He likely will speak to them nevertheless, of course with his attorneys' guidance."
According to the legal expert, the case is unlikely to be taken further until Justin speaks to police. "The police will have to get his side of the story in order to determine whether to dump the case or turn it over to prosecutors. They certainly cannot press charges based on the little evidence they have now," the lawyer added.

Russell Brand is planning to "fight" any charges relating to an alleged phone-throwing incident.
Paparazzo Timothy Jackson claims the 36-year-old comedian wrestled his iPhone away from him and hurled it at a nearby office window after catching him taking pictures from his car.
The Arthur star was released on $5,000 bond after handing himself in to New Orleans police on Thursday, and his lawyer Robert Glass tells E! News they are "going to figh"' any charges that may be brought.
According to TMZ.com, Russell - who has since paid $240 to fix the window - plans to argue he was provoked and that the damage to the phone was minimal.
Having filed for divorce from Katy Perry in December, Russell is believed to have found comfort in the arms of another woman last weekend - his mother. He apparently flew Barbara Brand over to Los Angeles from Britain to spend Mother's Day with him and new girlfriend Oriela Medellin Amieiro.
