(The couple also discovered he had hired a prostitute while on duty for them in Las Vegas, which is crazy because it is somehow the LEAST interesting aspect of the story.)

Bodyguards Are The New Handbags
Hamilton Nolan · 07/22/08 04:22PM"So many people are trying to make a statement by hiring bodyguards," one bicoastal club owner tells W magazine. "They want the stares and the whispers.

What made the bodyguard so angry isn't shown, but it does look like the photog got pretty bruised up from the attack.
