Last Tuesday, pop brat Justin Bieber got rear-ended by a photographer in West Hollywood.
The singer was driving his red Ferrari when he noticed a photographer driving a Prius following close behind him.
Upon noticing the man, the 20-year old celeb hit his brakes, causing the other car to rear-end him. There was no damage to the car and, neither Bieber or the phootgrapher got injured.

After the incident, Bieber took to Twitter to rant, tweeting, "There should be laws against what I just experienced. We should have learned from the death of Princess Diana. I don't have a problem with Paparazzi but when they act recklessly they put us all in danger."
Princess Diana and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, died in 1997 while fleeing from paparazzi in Paris, France. In 2008, their deaths were deemed as an "unlawful killing", with both the negligent driver and the paparrazi blamed for the incident.
Bieber joins a long list of celebrities who have been very vocal about their disdain for the paparazzi. Included in the said list are George Clooney, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus.
Last year, a photographer trying to take photos of Bieber's luxury car passed away after being struck by another car.
Previously, Selena Gomez, Bieber's on-again, off-again girlfriend, also had a fender bender after being distracted by paparazzi who were tailing her in a Hollywood parking lot.
Currently, it seems like Bieber and Gomez are once again dating. Before the recent paparrazi incident, Bieber and Gomez were seen on a date together and, a male fan took photos and videos of the two.
Upon seeing the fan, Bieber attempted to lunge at him and take his phone. The singer's security managed to hold him back before he could get into an altercation with the fan.
The fan is currently pressing charges against the singer, which includes attempted battery and attempted robbery.
