Hugh Grant Wow, there's a headline I never thought I'd write.

Actor Hugh Grant was arrested in London yesterday for allegedly throwing a plastic tub filled with baked beans at photographer Ian Whittaker. Whittaker says that Grant also kicked him and yelled at him before he threw the beans at him.

A plastic container filled with baked beans? This could have been much worse. He could have thrown cans filled with beans at the photographer, or glass jars filled with tomato sauces or pickles, or maybe even cling peaches...in heavy syrup.

Grant was released on bail and no charges have been filed.

One one hand, I'd say "Good on ya, laddy." and maintain that the photographer got substantially less that what he had coming to him...

On the other, though... The pail of beans probably should have been thrown at the insipid twits driving the market in celebrity photos by snarfing up any droll bit of "journalism" that has a candid photo of some entertainer on the cover.

At very least, it should have hit them on ricochet. ;-)
