Paparazzi and the circus that ensues any celebrity is a worldwide phenomenon.  TMZ reports that the unlikely but true incident involving two of Leonardo DiCaprio's bodyguards and their arrest yesterday by Israeli police was spurred by a fight near the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

DiCaprio and his Israeli model girfriend Bar Refaeli visited Judaism's holiest site.
The fracas that followed was DiCaprio's bodyguards being arrested and taken away.

DiCaprio and Refaeli were taking a private tour of the Western Wall tunnels, Reuters reports, and the photographers waited outside the tunnels for the couple, whose visit has stirred up a hornet's nest of media interest in Israel.

"Two of [DiCaprio's] security guards were arrested by police after being involved in a fight that broke out," said Micky Rosenfeld, a police spokesman said to Reuters. "They are being questioned."

Interesting, the Western Wall tunnels are closed off under an agreement between the Israeli authorities and Moslem factions. His tour of these tunnels may actually be a breach of this agreement and violation of Israeli law.

Do will really care what some movie star is taking a tour of? I mean relly there are people being killed all over the world. But we are trying to find out why a movie star is walking in a freaking tunnel.
