Witherspoon files report against aggressive paparazzi

Legally Blonde babe Reese Witherspoon has filed a police report for false imprisonment at the hands of paparazzi.

After a morning workout at her Los Angeles gym, Witherspoon says she attempted to get to her car but was boxed in by camera-clicking types, according to a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.

The actress managed to pull away but was pursued by a half-dozen vehicles "driving aggressively and almost cutting her off at times", the police spokesman said.

When she got home, one of the vehicles blocked her front gate, preventing Witherspoon from going in.

Her own security guards chased off the paparazzi and escorted Witherspoon inside and called the police.
