Tubby Loses His Cool
Filed under: Tobey MaguireTobey Maguire pulled a total Leo DiCaprio douche move as he was leaving Madeo's restaurant in Los Angeles on Wednesday night and the paparazzi started snapping away.
Well, the flashes were too much for his sensitive eyes and…
THIS mini-meltdown ensued!

he is totally right!
He can't see cars coming + paparazzi are sooo f…annoying!
these motherfuckers need to understand that the stars got their lives to live to. I can understand them being there at a press conference or if the star got something to promote, but when he goes out to dinner? in his normal civilian clothes? i mean come on!! and they were actually in front of the car. and he did give them like a few minutes. if he didnt blast, he would of been stuck there a lot longer
Those paps are lucky all he did was yell. Seriously, they completely surround his vehicle, keep snappin' away so he can't see from all the flash, and they yell shit at him trying to get a comment. WHY would he be happy with that? He's out, trying to enjoy himself and he has to put up with that bs? it's not right. Take the friggin' shot, and move on, let him go!
Wtf is wrong with what he did? Didn't Princess Diana get killed by the very same stunt. Why don't you try pulling into a line of traffic with people standing in front of you, and lights flashing in your face? At least he didn't pull a "Britney" run someones foot over then crash into something.
Seriously can you blame him!
lame ass photogs, get a real f'ing job instead of harassing people. f'ing losers not skilled enough to get a real photog job.
So he wants to go out to a nice dinner with his wife without the Paps all up in his face. You are just butt hurt b/c he won't give in like the sluts of Hollywood. Leave him alone! He is a person. Get over it. You still got a clip for all to see. That is all you and the Paps care about anyway!
LOST HIS COOL ??
Tobie deserves a Nobel Peace Prize!! He should have
run those bastards over. Screw that!
I would want to hit the camera chiggers and blame the flashes for not being able to see. Those guys are lucky he didn't shoot them.What a rude bunch of mental midgets.
He was not being a douche bag, that was completely warranted.
Good for him!
I don't blame him a bit. They block his view of oncoming traffic along with constant bright flashing in his eyes while taunting and teasing the entire time. I would get p'd off too.
I would have ran the guy over that ran out in front of him! When is someone going to do that. F'n Paps. They should ALL get run over by a car. Then again, we would have nothing to watch if they were all gone. MOVING VEHICLES SHOULD HIT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND HARD
I am glad video is available to the public so people can really see how these scum operate and how they scream and yell and harrass people. I hate this kind of paparrazzi.
And do not give me any shit about how we all like to look at the pictures. Yes, we like the pictures. But there's no reason in the world the paps have to scream and shout, or swarm, or block people. That is simple harrassment and intimidation. Those paps are trying to provoke an incident so they can make more money, or file a stupid police report and sue. These pigs must be sorry the Britney drama is over…for now.
Taking pictures from a reasonable distance is one thing. But this video makes me sympathetic to Toby. He should have knocked them over like bowling pins. But then he would be in trouble. I love that those people attacked the paps on the beach who were bothering Matthew McConaughey. These kinds of paps are scum. Paps should have rules to follow, too.
The paps are the douche bags. I would have run them over.
i would have been pissed off too…i think what he did was understandable…the paps are so annoying and dont know when to stop!
Douche move?!? They are obstructing a safe exit because they are blocking his view of traffic and he's a douche?
Rightly so, he couldn't safely turn right. Hardly a melt down.
If anyone is a Douche it's the retards taking his pic.
Don't ever refer to Leo as a Douche…..Your the Douche Perez…just like your idol Paris…famous for no fucking reason. Waste of space…
He can't see…what do you expect?? He was not being a douche at all!
It was completely understandable.
i dont blame him at all…that is just out of control. I would want to punch all those leaches lights out…
That was NOT a "douche move," I or my husband would have done worse if someone put our lives in danger. That was totally fucked up of them.
This guy is a douche in general, but in this case, he was justified. Those photogs are the scum of the earth.
not at all a "douche" (stop overusing that word) move, paparazzis are assholes, i'm glad he did that, i would've done the same
You know everyone who is reading this and saying "Oh, the paparazzi are so mean and horrible" are part of the problem. You can bitch about the paps all you want, but you know how YOU can make this stuff stop? Quit reading Perez and TMZ, quit buying US Weekly, and quit giving the pap-produced photos and vids any of your attention. Once no one is watching/buying there will be no market. In the meantime, you're part of the problem, so quit your bitchin'.
How is Tobey a douche and not the paps? Everytime I hear any kind of audio with paps they sound like immature little instigating pricks. How bout take your pictures and keep your mouth shut and don't try to make a story when there isn't one. (Is Tobey pulling out of a restaurant really worth all the commotion?) I read Perez everyday, but about half the comments made by the writers are snide, hypocritical bullshit! I'd love to see the jealous little losers sitting at their keyboards judging these people.
I think Toby was totally right. The paps are assholes. And dangerous. One thing. These restaurants get a lot of benefit from all the famous people going there to eat. If the pap problem gets too outrageous, and more and more celebs avoid going tehre, business will suffer, so they should call the police for trespassing.
whatever, can you really blame him?? he should have ran them over.
I can't believe nobody has just run over those fucking asshole paps. Why are you blaming Tobey Maguire? Did you WATCH the actual video? I would have reacted so much worse than that. By the way you fucking dicksmoker… you're the LAST guy that should be calling anyone TUBBY.
I cant really blame him, the pap were being totally obnoxious. That one guys laugh, lord help me I would have punched just for that. lol
This was a warranted reaction. They completely boxed them in. How was he supossed to act all nice and calm and smile? Give me a break.
Gee, can't imagine why he would be upset.
good move on his part - as much as i check your site out every morning, i'll be glad to see the day when there are laws outlawing this kind of behavior from the paps.
reading perez is like watching the animals in those really old zoos - there's just no escape for them. sad.
Yeah perez because I'M SURE you wouldn't freak out at all if you were driving and couldn't see a thing.
wtf??? he has every fucking right
I think Tobey was right!!! They were blocking his car and just being assholes. Tobey was right to yell at them.
I think Tobey was being kind. I would have run their dumb asses over.
not a douche at all, he was just trying to drive.
MARIAGE TO THAT DOWN SYNDROME LOOKING WIFE OF HIS MUST BE GETTING TO HIM, AM SURE THE PAPS CAN FIND YOU SOME NEW P**SSY
i dont blame him! is the press trying to cause a serious accident???? how is this a meltdown?????
THATTA BOY TOBEY!!!!!!!! He had every right to scream at those assholes
Umm. I totally agree with his action. Top it off with how the crowd was kinda taunting him. I don't think he was being a douche at all. In fact the real douches are the people paying attention to the media.
Looks to me like the paps were the ones acting like douchebags!
they should have taken a couple pictures then let him go
i thought it was hot!!!
There should be a law against doing that shit while someone is DRIVING A MOTORIZED VEHICLE. If it is "dangerous" in LA to drive while talking on a cell, why is it safe to have flashing lights surrounding them while trying to drive. Maybe we should all be able to drive around on LSD, I have heard the effects are much like the flashing!!!!
I'm not sure how this qualifies as a "douche" move. He was totally justified in his reaction to those paparazi assholes. Too bad Toby didn't run one or more of them over - what a bunch of moronic losers!
This is NOT a douche move…..stop hating!
I don't blame him either, get the fuck out of the way!!
Papararazis really take it tooo far, his wife is pregnant and they do this crap it must suck!!!
Wait a sec.. TOBEY is the douche??? Yeah, cause the Paps are really fuckin friendly to him and his wife.
Fuck, Perez.. youre the ultimate douche loser, eh?
how is tobey in the wrong? the paparazzi are obnoxious & taunting him. who the hell can see with all of that flashing? i would have done the same thing.
Tobey is precious and justified. The lead in for this is way off.
Good for you spidey!!!!! Run them over next time!!!!!!
He had every right. At least there was no violence!
I also love that everyone leaving comments agrees that he isn't a douche for this. Let the guy leave already!
AT FIRST IT WOULD BE GLAMOUROUS BUT MAN HE CANT SEE TO DRIVE AND IT WOULD GET SUPER ANNOYING..
LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. THEY WERE ONLY DRIVING THEIR CAR NOT DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL.. WHAT RETARDS
PAPPARAZI'S area all assholes! the scum of our society. We gotta quit watching this shit. I would have ran a few down if I were him
yea def NOT a douche move, he was just trying to get out and those people were being asses.
Honestly, wuold it have been better if he had run one of them over or gotten into an accident because he couldn't see? It would have been for the paps, then they would have had the exclusive. I think it's time for CA to set up a press pass system for these people. those that don't carry their credentials get fined. Those that harrass and cause dangerous situations like this get fined and if they keep it up, then they loose their credentials. Those companies using non-credential photogs get fined. there is a way to regulate and control this.
fuck, i would have run them down,
not just yelled.
those dogs stepped over the line again.
I am on Team Tobey. I would of said and done more than Tobey did if some dumb F*s blinded me and would not let me pass and were making me hold up other cars behind me. I agree Paps should be able to take pics but use some common sense.
good for him I would have done far worse.
sorry, but I hope all of the paps start getting mowed down. fuck 'em.
He was calm considering the parasites that surrounded him. Paparazzi's are complete assholes, end of story.
You photogs are a bunch of obnoxious stalkers. You're idiots. Leave these people alone.
He has a right to act like that- if my family were in the car I would be upset too.
there was nothing wrong about what he did, I woulda been pissed off too.
a very human response to not being able to leave a parking lot in peace and with privacy. the photographers were provoking his temper with their remarks. they deserve the reaction they got and tobey maguire should not be faulted for his frustrated reaction.
i would have said the same thing! nevermind that thats probably the 3589046th time he had to deal with that!
celebs should carry little water guns and spray the paps when they get out of line. it works for training dogs!
Totally warranted! It's illegal to block someone in. Rude ass pooporatzi always getting in the way. It's one thing to take his picture, it's another to be a douche.
That wasn't so bad. I don't blame him. That would be awful.
Bit of a bitch fit, but anyone else would have done same if not more.
i dont blame him….
I don't blame him one bit.They were making him blind with all the flashes and he was pulling out into traffic. His safety was at risk.
i would be seriously pissed if someone was blocking my car in, flashing lights in my face, and making it so i couldn't see oncoming traffic. thats how people get killed.
i think the only douchbaggery here is from the paparazzi
These photographers definately are the douchebags. They live to push these celebrities to their limit. One day someone will go postal on them. They are rude vulchers and look for reasons to sue celebrities when they get their toes run over or hit! Toby was right and I would have done same thing. It makes me sick to my stomach we don't have laws keeping these parasites off these guys.
ATTA BOY SPIDEY!
give em the ol' one two.
would serve them right,
what assholes.
He should have run them all over
You and your paparazzi friends are the douche bags Perez
I hate the annoying pappz! I mean some times, well most of the time, they just take it too far.
Wow, when you have a bunch of A Holes heckling you and blinding you with flashing bulbs…I guess you should be Mr. Diplomat? Screw that! Good job, Tobey! I would've done the same.
I would rather be born with very very old rich money live on an island or something than be famous! fame= money, but money does not buy privacy in public 100% of the time… paps are almost abusive… makes you question your tabloids and online ones too…. ah well going to hell see you there!
sheesh, can't a guy take his wife to dinner? Why aren't laws being passed to stop this shit it is friggin' dangerous.
pathetic bunch of losers. They should be shot. HOW is this legal?????? Isn't this harassment? I don't get it.
He should have just ran over all of them.
You know everyone who is reading this and saying "Oh, the paparazzi are so mean and horrible" are part of the problem. You can bitch about the paps all you want, but you know how YOU can make this stuff stop? Quit reading Perez and TMZ, quit buying US Weekly, and quit giving the pap-produced photos and vids any of your attention. Once no one is watching/buying there will be no market. In the meantime, you're part of the problem, so quit your bitchin'. (And, yes, I know I'm on Perez, too, but you don't hear me complain' about those "evil" paps.)
Ummm…whats wrong with his reaction?? I would have done alot worse and what is wrong with these paps and the yelling redic things to entice stupidity?
How is this douche? there is nothing wrong with the way he reacted.
erm tubby?? reli perez????? ur the tubster he is the tobster! get it right.
and he was right to be annoyed not everyone seeks publicity like u do, and the paps where breaking the law.
u hate pple that brake the law so wats with the hypocrisy?
poor guy, I don't blame him. Those paparazzi are douche bags that need to get a life and a REAL job.
well done!… in fact he seems cool to me…
there must be a law or something now really.
paparazzis are loosing control!
That was NOT a douche move. The paps are nothing less than assaultive anymore. If they wouldn't act like a bunch of crazy hyenas celebs might actually be willing to do something to make the job easier. The paps are the douches….oh, that's funny…get it? Paps and douches?
The paps are fucking douches. So belligerent and aggressive. Good on Tobey for not completely losing his cool and beating the shit out of one of them.
I don't think it was a douche move at all. They totally jepordized his life and his passenger's life. I can understand taking a photograph of someone walking down a street, etc…however, he was driving and trying to becareful at the same time. Coming from NY, if that were me, I would have behaved like a raving lunatic….so the assesment made by Perez is inaccurate. No, it was not a douche move, he had every right to be agitated and annoyed!
HOW is he a douche for wanting to turn a fucking corner while being able to see? Yeah…he's such "a girl" for wanting to see as he drives…but wait a second..if he got into some sort of accident then those pictures would be worth more! BRILLIANT.
How can you say that was a douche move? He could have had his baby in the car and that is a dangerous situation. For someone who seems to have evolved into a more caring Perez (with all the charity shit you're putting on your page) I'm surprised that you called him a douche for wanting to get on the road safely. Sad.
I don't think he did anything wrong! It would be pretty frustrating if you had a wall of leeches impeding your path
He should of flattened some of those cunts.
perez baby. your starting to lack on the amazing stories. ):
