Fights between show business stars. Left hook: the most pugnacious Russian stars
Yesterday's fight between Orland Bloom and Justin Bieber at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza reminded us that sometimes words are not enough to express true feelings. The jealous stars entertained the audience to the fullest - with mutual insults in the style of Hollywood action films and a subsequent skirmish. Fighting over a Victoria's Secret angel - what could be more glamorous? However, ELLE is seriously worried about baby Justin. Lately, Orlando Bloom's muscular torso has been looking very impressive, and it doesn't cost him anything to heartily beat down the 20-year-old brawler who is fond of alcohol and prohibited substances, we advise the pop star to hire a couple more bodyguards and avoid meeting with the actor - at least in the near future, until passions subside.
Following the events in Ibiza, ELLE publishes a list of the most jealous and militant Hollywood stars who especially impressed the secular public.
Jay-Z and Solange Knowles
Video footage of the fight between Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z and her sister Solange spread all over the Internet. Disputes about the reasons are still ongoing, and the scandal is acquiring new details. Insiders around the stars believe that the conflict occurred because of Rihanna, who, according to Solange, has more than just a professional relationship with the producer. Allegedly, Jay-Z was going to the singer’s party, but did not consider it necessary to invite his wife there. It sounds a little far-fetched, but as they say, there is no smoke without fire.
27-year-old Lindsay Lohan regularly confirms her reputation as a rebel and troublemaker with her actions. In June, the actress provoked a fight with supermodel Kate Moss. The reason is, of course, jealousy. Arriving on a visit to England, Lindsay immediately informed the model's husband about this, which seriously upset Kate. The fact is that Jamie Hince, Moss's husband, has recently been helping Lohan with her musical project. At a party at the fashionable Chiltern Firehouse club, Kate encountered a red-haired violator of the family idyll and, unable to withstand the emotional outburst, rushed at her with her fists, shocking the visitors.
Robert Pattinson has been seen in countless fights and quarrels this year. The reason for this was a difficult breakup with his Twilight Saga co-star Kristen Stewart, who cheated on him with director Rupert Sanders. Robert and Kristen's attempt to revive their relationship was unsuccessful. “Rob has a broken heart, he is trying to heal his wounds with endless parties and liters of alcohol,” a friend of the star comments on the behavior of the 28-year-old actor.
The 33-year-old actor has been having an affair with his colleague Eva Mendes for a long time, and the couple recently announced that they will soon become parents. During their relationship, the paparazzi never managed to catch Ryan and Eva in immodest behavior, but one day the actors nevertheless became the heroes of a scandalous chronicle. The incident occurred one Friday in April in the lobby of the Los Angeles Chateau Marmont hotel - Gosling was jealous of his lover and the photographer. The latter familiarly addressed the actress with the words: “Hello, baby!”, which provoked an angry reaction from the actor, who attacked him with fists. Frightened by the aggressive impulse of her lover, Eva Mendes managed to calm the heated men, preventing assault.
It is no coincidence that 37-year-old Zemfira received the nickname “scandal girl.” Back in 2003, in her native Ufa, she got into a fight with stylist Alexander Kuvvatov - the singer did not like the way he responded to her work. In 2007, Zemfira beat up video director Irina Mironova because she told in her memoirs about her difficult relationship with the artist during the filming of the video for the song “Traffic.” In 2008, the rocker was sorting things out with an employee of a supermarket near her home. However, according to Zemfira, it was not her fault that this happened: the guy who was packing the groceries was the first to slap her in the face for the remark. And last summer, the fighting singer attacked Ksenia Sobchak, defending the honor of her friend, screenwriter and actress Renata Litvinova. The reason for the fight was a scandal between Ksenia and Renata, who has a very warm relationship with Zemfira - the young ladies exchanged offensive barbs at the “Most Stylish in Russia” award ceremony. The conflict continued when a couple of days later the TV presenter met Litvinova in the company of Zemfira - the friends were having dinner in one of the pretentious clubs in Moscow. Sobchak proposed a truce, which Litvinova pointedly ignored, but Zemfira immediately rushed into a fight. Fortunately, the owner of the club, Alexander Mamut, managed to separate the ladies in time and calm the singer down.
Popularity and love from the audience sometimes turns celebrities into monsters. Fights, brawls, scandals - some stars completely lose control of themselves and allow unacceptable things. According to their own admissions, stress and very hard work are to blame, but it is hardly possible to find an excuse for fights and drunken showdowns. Woman’s Day recalls the most pugnacious representatives of Russian show business and the conflicts that erupted throughout the country.

Alexey Panin can be called the most scandalous actor of modern cinema. Alexey Panin may be talented, but it is impossible to remember his roles without difficulty. He was remembered much more by the audience for his striking appearances in gossip columns. Scandals, drunken brawls, fights, sensational confessions - these factors made Panin a superstar, and not his acting transformations. Although there is a possibility that the role of a brawler for Alexei Panin is just a smart PR move, because there is nothing you can do to receive crazy fees.
Employees of provincial restaurants are already afraid of such a phenomenon as a drunken Alexey Panin. After all, there were several precedents when an actor broke dishes, smashed a cafe, got into a fight with visitors, and each time the celebrity managed to evade responsibility. In the summer of 2013, he again tarnished his reputation by getting into a car accident in Crimea. It would seem that a small accident in the center of Alushta could be calmly resolved peacefully. But the actor could not escape the image of an aggressive brawler. He beat the driver - the second participant in the accident - and, without waiting for the police to arrive, left the scene of the accident. Later, the actor justified his action by saying that the car owner he hated turned out to be a Tatar, against whom it was a sin not to raise a hand, especially since he allegedly extorted money from the artist.
In another resort town, Tuapse, a half-naked Panin caused a riot in a hotel bar. Refusing to pay the bill, the actor destroyed everything he could get his hands on. The amount of damage was eventually estimated at 100 thousand rubles, but Alexey Panin continues to remain free and gives interviews to the press, and at the age of 36 he could have already taken the path of correction. At the same time, Alexey Panin doesn’t care who he beats. Women also fall under his hot hand. In 2011, he beat up store clerks.
But not a single scuffle and brawl of Alexei Panin can compare with the sensational confession that he made. The actor shocked literally everyone by declaring to the whole country that he had sexual experience with men and repeats it regularly. I wonder what Alexey Panin will do next time to increase his popularity rating?

It was difficult to imagine someone who was a participant in the fight that thundered throughout the country, it was the performer of Soviet hits, People's Artist of Russia Yuri Antonov. But the 68-year-old composer and poet also turned out to be a desperate fighter. At the same time, the singer had the courage to take a swing at the biker, who was twice the size of Antonov.
The incident occurred on November 4, 2011 at a gas station near the Moscow Ring Road. Yuri Antonov was extremely annoyed that the abandoned motorcycle blocked his Land Rover’s path to the gas station, therefore, as soon as the owner of the bike appeared, the singer immediately entered into an aggressive verbal altercation with him, which eventually ended with a heavy black eye under the eye of the people’s artist. The recording of this incident does not show who hit first, but both were aggressive, after which other drivers began to separate those who did not share a place at the gas station. Yuri Antonov decided that such a case should be made public. He contacted the police and told the whole country about what happened. For six months, the mysterious biker could not be found, but later he was brought to trial, but only got off with a fine. Rumor has it that the punishment was so lenient not without the help of the most influential biker in the country, the Surgeon.

It is not always that stars involved in scandals and fights manage to get away with it. This is what happened with the late actor Vladislav Galkin, who in 2009 started a brawl with gunfire in one of the Moscow bars and also got into a fight with the police. Friends of the actor say that this incident was an indirect cause of the death of Vladislav Galkin, who was unable to survive the shame and punishment of the court.
A heavily drunk man came to a half-empty bar in the capital and asked to pour him some whiskey. After several drinks, the bartender refused to serve him, understanding the actor’s condition. After which Vladislav Galkin, succumbing to aggression and anger, began shooting at bottles with a traumatic pistol and hitting the bar drain with a chair. After this, video surveillance cameras recorded that the movie star argued for a long time with the police officers who came to the call and resisted the authorities who were trying to detain him. One of the representatives of the law, Vladislav Galkin, was hit in the face, after which he ended up in the hospital.
After this terrible incident, Vladislav Galkin wrote an open letter in which he apologized for the brawl in the bar. But this did not help the actor avoid punishment. He was accused of hooliganism and resisting police. Later, the Presnensky Court of Moscow sentenced the famous actor Vladislav Galkin. He was sentenced to one year and two months of suspended imprisonment. But Vladislav Galkin was unable to cope with the problems that befell him. And on February 27, 2010, he was found dead in his apartment.

A handsome man, a performer of lyrical songs and an idol of millions of women, disgraced himself by fighting with journalist Ekaterina Guseva, who was waiting for him with a camera. The girl was guarding the star near the restaurant where he spent the evening in the company of his mistress, the former lead singer of the group “VIA Gra” Albina Dzhanabaeva.
CCTV cameras recorded that Valery Meladze did not behave at all like a gentleman and used physical force against the fragile girl. After this incident, the paparazzi girl turned for help to such eminent lawyers as Alexander Dobrovinsky and Sergei Zhorin, but Valery Meladze managed to avoid punishment. The story was quickly forgotten, and the singer continued to warm lonely women's hearts across the country.
By the way, Valery Meladze is not the only member of the star family who found himself at the center of the scandal. At the end of 2012, Konstantin Meladze hit a woman on the road, who eventually died. Then the eminent producer also managed to avoid punishment. The tragic incident was resolved amicably.
One of his loudest scandals was a fight with his main ideological opponent - the leader of the DDT group, Yuri Shevchuk. The Bulgarian and the Tatar could not find a common language and got into a fight to find out who was in charge. Then the cause of the conflict was the law “On Phonograms,” which was actively supported by “Yura the Musician,” and reproached Philip Kirkorov for the fact that he is nobody on stage without a phonogram. But what doesn’t happen between two grown men is that they got into a fight and separated. It’s another matter when Philip Kirkorov rushes at women without a shadow of a doubt.
This happened at the rehearsal of the Golden Gramophone award, when Philip Kirkorov beat the administrator Marina Yablokova. First, Kirkorov began to insult the girl, hit her in the face, and then kicked her again. Such anger was caused by the singer’s refusal to rearrange the lighting equipment. Nerves need to be treated, Philip Bedrosovich. Which, by the way, is what he immediately did when he went to an Israeli clinic. The ex-husband of the Diva publicly apologized to his victim, after which Yablokova did not sue the pop star.
Philip Kirkorov also had a conflict with “Mr. Black Star” Timati, although there were no fights here. In general, the “king of pop” turned out to be out of business. He received two MUZ-TV awards, and the main rapper did not approve of the choice of the country, which he openly spoke about. Of course, the offended Kirkorov succumbed to the provocations, after which an angry skirmish ensued between the stars on Twitter. As a result, the conflict was never settled. The artists did not shake hands, and Timati even filmed a video parody “Come on, goodbye” for this occasion.
Olympic champion in ice dancing, 42 years old
Show “Raffle”, episode “Carry her to the firing line”
Tatyana Navka was allegedly invited to a photo shoot at a military training ground. The Olympic champion posed on a tank with a machine gun in her hands. However, “toughness” was not enough for the photographer. He asked the major to demonstrate some exercises on the firing line. Navka hits all the targets (not without the help of the hidden “Prank” command). Then the major invites the champion to shoot at the thrown plate. Navka agrees... and “shoots down” the plane. A parachutist jumps out, the plane crashes and explodes. Of course, such a “performance” makes a strong impression on the skater.
However, when she came to the studio after the prank, Navka said that the joke now seemed harmless to her and she received wonderful memories.
The victim of such a prank was fashion model Inna Gomez. However, the consequences for her were more serious. When the parachutist attacked her with accusations, the actress, barely holding back tears, asked to bring her heart drops. There was a doctor on duty on the set, who immediately examined Gomez and insisted on her urgent hospitalization. The filmed episode was never aired.

Yulia Menshova
Actress and TV presenter, 48 years old
Show “Practice”, episode “Without a Face”
Yulia Menshova was invited to the restaurant by her friend Yana Lisovskaya. She and her friend Hans flew to Moscow from Germany. He brought a special “paparazzi cream” - made from molecules that reflect the light falling on the face. Thus, the person’s face is exposed on film. Yulia's parents also come to the restaurant and know about the prank.
Menshova, together with her friend and father, applies cream to her face. And a miracle! Hans photographs them, but instead of faces there are light spots on the film. Suddenly it turns out that the cream is not washed off. Nothing. And Menshova should be filming the next day...
The actress is about to call to cancel the shoot, but Hans says that there is a special mask for removing the cream. But there is no permission to use it... Menshova already agrees to everything. Hans applies the mask to her face. At this moment, a journalist bursts into the hall and starts taking photographs. Yulia's father rushes at him and tries to take the camera. Julia rushes to separate them. During the fight, the actress is announced that she has been included in the “Practice” program. Menshova sits down exhausted on the sofa and admits that for her the situation is a real nightmare.

Show "Prank", episode "Sky. Airplane. Young woman"
Dana Borisova is preparing to film a new TV game: she must throw a large teddy bear out of an airplane. During the flight, the TV presenter hears a knock, which she reports to the pilot. Then the pilot opens the door and “falls out.” Dana has no choice but to land the plane herself (of course, there was a professional pilot nearby, but the TV presenter didn’t know about it).
The prank turned out to be cruel. When the TV presenter got off the plane, she threw the flowers presented by the film crew on the ground and began to cry.
Nina Ruslanova
Actress, 72 years old
“Raffle”, issue “Insured Event”
Nina Ruslanova parked her new car in the parking lot of the store. As soon as the actress left, a tank appeared and stood right on top of her car. The actress cried, screamed, and demanded justice. This prank evokes sympathy for the victim rather than laughter.
Dima Bilan
Musician, 36 years old
Show “Raffle”, episode “Young Fighter Course”
Dima Bilan goes to a concert in the Moscow region. Along with him is producer Yana Rudkovskaya, who knew about the prank. The road was blocked and we had to take a detour. Bilan was admiring the nature outside the window, when suddenly there were explosions. An American military man ran up to the car and explained that a training exercise was taking place. The field is "mined". The singer treated the situation with humor, although he broke into hysterical laughter.
Chulpan Khamatova
Actress, 42 years old
Show “Practice”, episode about hostage taking
Chulpan Khamatova came to meet a friend, but people with machine guns and wearing masks burst into the cafe. They took away the visitors' mobile phones and ordered them to line up along the wall. It turns out that Khamatova’s friend recently returned from Vietnam, where a deadly virus is rampant. Now everyone who came into contact with her must be vaccinated. The “disinfection” lasted about an hour in an extremely tense environment. No one was allowed to call home, and those who were too self-confident were even beaten with rifle butts!
Then the cafe doors opened, the actress was given flowers and announced: “You were filmed by a hidden camera!” But the victim did not experience relief. The actress experienced the worst hour of her life. She is convinced that this “joke” will affect her health.
Khamatova said: “You can’t have fun when others are hurting!” And she did not agree to release the episode. Against the backdrop of the tragedy in Beslan, which occurred shortly before filming, this prank actually looked out of place.
Ksenia Sobchak
Politician and journalist, 36 years old
Show “Raffle”, episode “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”
It's one o'clock in the morning. Ksenia Sobchak and Ulyana Tseytlina arrived at the restaurant to meet with the journalist. At some point, Ulyana is brought expensive wine - a gift from the men at the next table. It is followed by an expensive ring with a huge stone - the friend has never seen such large diamonds. Soon the men decided to meet the girls in person.
It turns out that the prince of an African country came to Moscow for a short time and, by a lucky coincidence, dined at the same restaurant as the girls. Ksenia and Ulyana are invited to a private party at the embassy. They are unable to refuse. However, a luxurious limousine takes them... to the airport, where the girls are surrounded by security and military men with machine guns. Sobchak controls his emotions - no hysteria, no tears - and tries to resolve the conflict diplomatically. Exemplary behavior during a kidnapping!
Only when the Dogs were announced that she was in the “Raffle” did the girl give vent to her feelings. It seems that she will remember this night for a long time.

Miley Cyrus
Singer, 25 years old
Show "Setup" with Ashton Kutcher
Miley Cyrus thought she was going to prank Justin Bieber and set up a "set-up" in the parking lot. In fact, it was Bieber who decided to prank her. Justin had just parked his car when dissatisfied skateboarders ran up to him and began demanding space for their training. Miley watched what was happening from hidden cameras. Suddenly, Bieber attacked one of the boys and beat him up! Cyrus was shocked. She was worried, rushing about, not knowing what to do. It seems that she might have had an attack when... a happy Bieber jumped out shouting: “You won’t prank me!”
A photo of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's newborn daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, (given that her face was clearly visible), would have brought in about half a million dollars. The sad truth is that even celebrity children are overpriced.
The most expensive photographs are those taken during high-profile scandals. To annoy or infuriate celebrities, paparazzi stalk them and pester them with inappropriate questions to get their way. In fact, these people will stop at absolutely nothing to get their way. As a result, many celebrities really lose their temper and throw themselves at photographers. It is at this point that the situation can become extremely dangerous.
Conflicts between celebrities and paparazzi will continue to exist until stricter laws are introduced regarding illegal harassment.
10. Hugh Grant
It goes without saying how much Hugh Grant hates paparazzi. The 54-year-old actor is rarely in a good mood when paparazzi start following him on the street, but most of the time he manages to control himself. That was until 2007, when he was driven to the point of whispering death threats into the ear of a paparazzo who was pursuing him.
Unaware that the photographer was filming a video and not taking a photo, Hugh grabbed him and whispered terrible things in his ear. Undeterred by such threats, the photographer continued filming. Later, as Grant was leaving the store, he punched a paparazzi, causing him to fall and crouch in pain. This image of Hugh is strikingly different from his character in the film Love Actually, in which he played the friendly and sweet Prime Minister.
9. Chris Martin
Chris Martin and his wife at the time, Gwyneth Paltrow, were celebrating the birth of their daughter Apple in 2004 when Chris was driven to the point of attacking a photographer right outside the hospital door. A visibly exhausted Paltrow left the hospital, followed by the Coldplay frontman, who clearly didn't like the crowd of photographers waiting for them outside.
He became enraged, grabbed the photographer closest to him by the neck and started shouting at him: “show some fucking respect.” Having knocked the photographer down, he took the camera from him and got into the car with him. Another angry photographer helped his friend and began to threaten Martin that he would break his car door if he did not return the camera.
Martin then went home with his newborn daughter to spend time with his then happy family.
8. Sam Worthington and Lara Bingle
In 2014, actor Sam Worthington was arrested for beating a photographer who allegedly hit his wife, Australian model Lara Bingle. The conflict began when photographer Shen Li began stalking Bingle on the streets of New York. She decided to deal with the problem on her own, starting to physically fight off Lee.
Worthington then joined her and the pair began fighting with the photographers, trying to take their cameras. Following his arrest, Lee was charged with conduct endangering the safety of others, assault and stalking. Lee called for Bingle's arrest, citing a video that clearly showed Bingle instigating the fight.
When the video was published, the couple, who preferred to keep their relationship secret, finally admitted that they were married. Their relationship could no longer be denied, based on Worthington repeatedly saying on video, “Did you hit my wife?”
7. Justin Bieber
When Justin Bieber gets angry, it makes headlines around the world, so he'd do well to learn how to control himself. In 2013, with a car waiting for him in London, he quickly ran to the car door, knocking the paparazzi off their feet. The photographers did not like this behavior and responded with a torrent of verbal abuse.
The singer of the song “Never Say Never” was enraged by the insults and decided to jump out of the car to personally deal with the offenders. However, he was held back by bodyguards while he waved his fists aimlessly, giving photographers the opportunity to take money photos. Bieber, Bieber, when will you wise up?
6. Mike Tyson
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that irritating Mike Tyson can land you in a hospital bed. In 2009, the former world heavyweight champion was stalked by a photographer throughout Los Angeles International Airport. Finally, he got tired of it and rushed after the paparazzi.
The video, shot through a cloudy lens, shows Tyson leaning over the photographer. Tyson was arrested on charges of assault, but his lawyer was able to acquit him, saying that the photographer had previously been overly aggressive with Tyson's wife and their 10-month-old child. This case perfectly demonstrates a simple truth - do not start fights with boxers.
5. Kanye West
Kanye West could definitely use a lesson or two in self-control. There are many videos of his fights with the paparazzi posted on YouTube, about as many as his songs. He's so well known for his fiery temper and tendency to attack any photographer who tries to take his picture that people are already making videos of his run-ins with the paparazzi for fun.
His wife, Kim Kardashian, is a woman who makes her living by being photographed. Although marriage and fatherhood have cooled his ardor somewhat, no one has yet forgotten the many times he smashed cameras at airports, shouted threats at paparazzi and attacked them with his fists.
4. Lamar Odom
It's no secret that Lamar Odom has a lot of personality problems. He was indescribably furious with a photographer who foolishly got too close to the 208cm-tall basketball player during his divorce proceedings from Khloe Kardashian.
In 2013, Odom became enraged when paparazzi followed him in the Hollywood Hills. He stopped his car and yanked open the doors of the cars that were chasing him to throw their equipment onto the road. Then a fan who was driving by got out of her car to take a photo of him. The opportunity to take a selfie with your idol in a rage can present itself at the most unexpected moment.
3. Jamiroquai
There are few videos in the world that are as unpleasant to watch as the video of Jamiroquay, aka Jay Kay, fighting with the paparazzi. In the late 90s, Jay Kay appeared at the premiere of the film in his outrageous car with a retinue of a dozen people. He began verbally abusing the paparazzi and hit one of them while driving away in his car. This did not go unnoticed by other paparazzi who ran after the car. One of them even violently kicked the singer's car.
Jay Kay then caught a photographer who was shorter than him and began questioning him on the street. At first, the photographer stood calmly while the singer verbally abused him and screamed so much that his drool flew into the photographer's face. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and, feeling backed into a corner, hit Jay Kay in the nose with his forehead, causing the singer to fall on his back. The video is definitely shocking, but maybe it will finally help this pop singer remember not to pick fights with people who are smaller than him in the future.
2. Bjork (Bj?rk)
One reporter will definitely think twice about telling Björk "Welcome to Bangkok" again. In 1996, after a long flight, the singer arrived at the airport, where she was greeted by cameras and the press. As reporter Julia Kaufman greeted her, Björk lunged at her, grabbing her by the hair and knocking her to the ground.
Her record company immediately came to Bjork's defense, saying that Kaufan constantly harassed the Icelandic singer. Later, in an interview with host Chris Evans, she said she gets angry "once every seven years." Apparently, when this happens, she doesn't spare her fists.
1. Britney Spears
In 2007, when Britney Spears had a severe nervous breakdown, photographers still wouldn’t leave her alone. After leaving rehab, she stopped at a gas station on her way home. Paparazzi surrounded her car, hoping to take photos of the pop star with her shaved head. Spears, who was sitting in the car, was clearly upset, trying to cover her face.
They ran after her down the street and she finally couldn’t stand it anymore, throwing herself at the car of one of the photographers and starting hitting it with an umbrella. She shouted insults at photographers and went down in pop culture history after the paparazzi finally managed to drive her crazy. Since then, she has recovered, revived her music career and purchased property in the Planet Hollywood area of Las Vegas.
