The ongoing war between celebrities and the paparazzi took another ugly turn when a photographer trying to snap some pictures of Britney Spears at a bridal shower fell victim to an unknown assailant, taking a BB in the leg on Saturday. Strangely, the report makes no mention of potential suspect Kevin Federline or his five gold medals in Air Rifle Marksmanship from the White Trash Olympics.

With this latest incident, tensions between the famous Hatfields and snap-happy McCoys are now at an all time high, with a clear pattern of escalation ("He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."): Cameron Diaz steals a camera, Lindsay Lohan is rammed, a "warning shot" finds its way into a photographer's thigh. What kind of retaliation will this bump to low-grade gunplay bring? We wouldn't be surprised if Paris Hilton's house is "accidentally" destroyed when a vengeance-seeking shutterbug "mistakenly" picks up a bazooka instead of his telephoto lens.
