Justin Timberlake's Crew Tussle With Fan

A scuffle broke out at New York's Rainbow Bar early Saturday morning, as a fan snuck into the club's VIP area and snuck a shot of Justin Timberlake on her cell phone. The pop star's entourage quickly got in a scuffle with the fan's male friends, while such onlookers as Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Chris Brown and Beyoncé dodged flying glass. (Beyoncé was actually at Rainbow Bar to celebrate her duet with Timberlake at the annual Fashion Rocks Concert at Radio City Music Hall.)

"It was mayhem," a source at the scene told The Mirror. "Justin narrowly missed being punched in the face when a fan tried to take a photo of him on her camera, and his minder kicked off, screaming at the girl and snatching the camera off her to delete the pic … Fists were flying and JT was desperately trying to get out of the way."

According to Digital Spy, Timberlake's bodyguard was eventually thrown out.
