Latest: Extra sheriff's deputies have been assigned to patrol the beaches of Malibu, California after two celebrity-related incidents at the weekend (21-22Jun08).
On Saturday, Colin Farrell challenged a paparazzi after the Irishman spotted the snapper trying to take beach shots of him, his son and pregnant pal Minnie Driver.
Farrell ran up the beach and confronted the videographer, asking, "Are you f**king taking a picture of me and my boy? Turn that off."
And on Sunday, snappers trying to get photos of Matthew McConaughey at Paradise Cove beach brawled with angry surfers, who took offence when their playground became a paparazzi target.
In video footage released to news networks, the surfers can be seen beating up the photographers and dragging one of them into the ocean.
Local officials in Malibu are fighting to change city laws to prevent the paparazzi from invading beaches. In the meantime, police have agreed to patrol target areas in a bid to halt further clashes between photographers and sunbathers.
One local tells WENN, "It's getting out of hand. Suddenly you spot a celebrity and then there's a swarm of photographers. Malibu people are sick of it."
