Last week, Woody Harrelson gave the online tabloid site TMZ some video fodder by assaulting one of its photographers as Harrelson, who had his daughter with him, was accosted at La Guardia Airport. As CNN described the incident as it was caught on video, " The first video shows the photographer following Harrelson and his daughter down an escalator and out of the terminal. It ends with Harrelson apparently reaching for the lens. The second video begins with the photographer accusing Harrelson of breaking his camera. After Harrelson returns the camera to him, a scuffle appears to ensue. 'Woody, this is assault. Woody, this is assault,' the photographer is heard saying. 'Woody, chill out. Would you please chill out?' " Apparently, Harrelson heard all that as "Arghhh!!" In a statement released by his publicist Friday, Harrelson explained that "I wrapped a movie called Zombieland, in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie." You know what's the great thing about Woody Harrelson?
