Paparazzi clash with bodyguards at Jolie estate

PARIS (Reuters) - Two paparazzi in camouflage gear fought with
bodyguards of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt after they were found
hiding in the grounds of the Hollywood stars' French estate, the
couple's security chief said on Friday.

Tony Webb, head of the team guarding the Chateau Miraval estate where
the couple are staying following the birth of their twins, said the
incident took place on Thursday afternoon.

"We caught the two and tried to escort them off the property and the
guy's just gone beserk, thrashing out, kicking and actually biting one
of the security people, breaking his finger, drawing blood and
screaming that he had Hepatitis C," he told Reuters.

An officer at the police station in nearby Brignoles village confirmed
that an incident involving paparazzi had taken place at the 500-
hectare property but gave no details.

Jolie and Pitt have reportedly sold exclusive picture rights to the
first photographs of their newborn twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox
Leon to a U.S. publication for $11 million. The money would go to
charity.

Pitt's lawyers have threatened legal action against magazines or
websites publishing recent pictures they say were taken by paparazzi
of the actor and his family at the estate. Webb said they would also
take action against photographers.

"The family are really fed up that these people are trespassing so
we're going to try to get restraining orders and use the law to do
whatever we have to keep them off the property," he said.
