When Stars Allegedly Attack

By Barbara Kiviat

CAMERON DIAZ lost a shoe and some dignity when tussling with photographers who, she says, ambushed her and beau Justin Timberlake. The paparazzi told Us that Diaz, who walked off with a camera, started it, and they have sued the star couple. Yes, it was quite a week of celebrity He Says, She Says.

BURT REYNOLDS sued ex-girlfriend Pamela Seals. HE SAYS she threatened to go public with false allegations of abuse if he didn't pay her. In her suit, SHE SAYS he gave her years of beating and toe stomping.

LIZA MINNELLI was sued by former bodyguard M'Hammed Soumayah. HE SAYS she beat him and coerced him into sex. In a countersuit, SHE SAYS he's in breach of contract and fiduciary duty.

BILL MAHER got sued by ex--gal pal Nancy Johnson (a.k.a. centerfold Coco Johnsen). HE SAYS the suit is frivolous and false. SHE SAYS he backed out of plans to marry her and manhandled her at a party.
