Hugh Grant arrested over ‘baked beans attack’
Photographer accuses British actor of assault with plastic tub of food
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18324251/

LONDON - Hugh Grant has been arrested and questioned by police after a photographer accused the actor of attacking him with a tub of baked beans.

Photographer Ian Whittaker told the Daily Star that he and Grant, 46, clashed near the home of the “Four Weddings and a Funeral” star.

Whittaker said Grant abused and kicked him on Tuesday before lobbing the beans. The paper printed photos of Grant with a plastic tub of food raised over his head.

6. Oh, THAT kind of baked-bean attack
nothing involving toxic gas attacks.

Like the French guarding a castle in a Monty Python movie.

:rofl:
