Alexander Skarsgard restrained by police

Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth at music festivalAlexander Skarsgard was physically restrained by police at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival on Saturday for threatening a photographer. The True Blood actor was enjoying the Californian music event with rumored girlfriend Kate Bosworth when he became infuriated with snappers who were continuously taking shots of the pair. Officers eventually intervened to stop the 33-year-old star from lashing out. The altercation was quickly resolved and no arrests were made. The incident was not the only thing to affect the pair, with 27-year-old Kate – who had earlier been seen sitting on Alexander’s shoulders in the crowd – getting upset with a female festivalgoer who approached hunky Alexander and “groped” him.  A source told the Daily Mirror: “It wasn’t pretty. Kate had been having such a good time, and then the girl grabbed Alexander. She was not pleased at all.”

    so its ok for women to “grab” and “grope” these stars, get all up in their personal business and time by constantly taking pictures of them etc, but its not ok for these stars to react and be angry? “Officers eventually intervened to stop the 33-year-old star from lashing out.” disgusting that we are not reading “Officers eventually intervened to stop the woman from grabbing and groping Alexander” or “Officers eventually intervened to stop the photographers from invading Alexanders and Kates privacy.” yep, these celebs sure get the “special treatment” dont they?

    Agreed, why does she think she has the right to grop him and get in his face like that? Just because she’s seen him in a movie? People like that need to get their head checked.

    they do, i think everyone that even gets overly excited to meet these celebs need to get their heads checked. they are just people and they shouldnt be treated as if they are gods. basically its that they never grew up and they want to play pretend and house for life so they do it on camera so they can get paid for it. its not that i dont like celebs, but if i met one, i wouldnt act like it was a big deal because it wouldnt be.
