Heath Ledger (Throws) Eggs On Paparazzi

Aussie thesp Heath Ledger, who stars opposite Matt Damon in Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm (opening August 26), has found a new form of self-expression – throwing eggs. It seems that lately, Ledger's recent encounters with photographers who invade his personal time have resulted in Ledger tossing a raw chicken embryo. According to the World Entertainment News Network, Ledger said, "I've thrown an egg. Not at them just kind of next to them so it splatters up against them. That's how pathetic it is. That's what we're reduced to. You can't actually stand up and slap them. When they kind of spy in on you and you're trying to like bathe out in the sun, and you're with your girlfriend and your friends and your family... it actually feels like you're getting a slap across the face. And we can't physically stand up and hit them back, of course, it would be rude and against the law. So you just get an egg." However, anyone who has seen Ledger's work as of late, like the super-silly The Order, or his scuzzed-out turn in Lords of Dogtown, might actually be justified in throwing the eggs right back at the hunky star.
