Apparently Joe Francis has not been keeping up with the whole Chris Brown fiasco, because now he’s the latest celebrity in trouble for allegedly assaulting a female. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is looking for Francis, founder of the controversial Girls Gone Wild franchise, to question him about assaulting Brody Jenners‘ girlfriend, Playboys 2008 Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole. Francis was reportedly harrassing an ex-girlfriend of his when Jayde decided to go over and come to her rescue from his unwanted advances. Nicole confronted Francis, began arguing, and eventually tossed a drink on the creep. Francis attacked Nicole by pulling her hair, punching her in the face and throwing her to the ground, then proceeded to hit a female friend of hers who was trying to defend her. Security was called in to try and break it up as Jenner was trying to get his hands on Francis, with both ending up being ejected from the club. Jenner met back up with Francis outside of the club, punching Francis in the face before an unidentified individual zapped him with a taser gun. Francis, who was shirtless at that point, then quickly left and the police were called.

Per Brody Jenner’s Twitter:

“Joe Francis beat up my lady this morning for no reason! Pulled her to the ground, punched & kicked her..what does that say about him. How can you call yourself a man when you beat up a girl?? Joe Francis is a piece of sh*t. Joe Francis needs to be in jail!!!”

Jaydes reported injuries are a black and blue cheek, a swollen face, a bruised left rib and her lower abdomen is sore. Some of her hair was also pulled out. A police report has been filed and she said she would press charges against Francis. Good for her. Maybe Francis can spend some more quality time with the jail cell he so obviously misses.

Gerard Butler Facing 6 Months in Jail for Paparazzi Beat-Down

Movie star hunk Gerard Butler has been charged with misdemeanor criminal battery over an incident involving a paparazzi-photographer last year. If convicted, he could be sentenced up to 6 months in jail. The incident occurred the night of October 7th, 2008 after a premiere party for “RockNRolla.” Allegedly, the photographer was trailing Gerard’s limo for hours, verbally harassing Butler whenever he got in and out of the limo, and even was chasing people through the streets.

Gerard’s manager Alan Siegel said the actor was forced to have his driver stop the car he was riding in after the particular photographer repeatedly sped through red lights and almost struck two pedestrians. Butler was said to have then punched him several times, bloodying the photographer’s lip. Police filed a report against the “300” actor over the scuffle. The Los Angeles City Attorney has already filed legal charge against him on Wednesday, May 13th, and Gerard is due in court for an arraignment on June 10th. His attorney, Blair Berk, has said that Butler is not required to, and won’t, appear in court on the matter.

I don’t blame him for punching someone who was following him! It would have been cool if he yelled “This… is… Sparta!” right before knocking the pap in the mouth!!
