Liz Hurley may have got married approximately 1,600 times over the course of the last fortnight, but there was one thing missing from any of the celebrations, the one thing that makes a wedding a wedding – a massive punch-up at the reception.
Luckily for Liz Hurley, though, an army of journalists and some security guards managed to pull together at the last minute to give Liz Hurley the wedding reception punch up that she deserves. Reports are suggesting that a scuffle between journalists and security guards took place as Liz Hurley and new husband Arun Nayar were driving to a Jodhpur restaurant on Friday night, with a woman claiming that she was slapped by a guard, a guard saying he was attacked by a female journalist and all the other women present crying a lot and screeching "Leave 'im, 'ee's not worrrf it!" at nobody in particular before running away to vomit in a flowerpot. Or something.
You'd think that celebrities would be starting to learn to leave India alone, wouldn't you? After Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's visit to India ended up with choked paparazzi, run-over boys and a fight that included the phrase "bloody Indians," Liz Hurley seems to have attracted the same level of unwanted attention during her wedding celebrations with Arun Nayar. BBC News reports the whole messy bust-up:
The fight started outside Mehrangarh fort, in Jodhpur, when reporters tried to block the celebrity couple's Bentley as it entered the venue for a dinner. The journalists then chased the car into the fort, forcing a lockdown… Indian security guards pushed the journalists from the car to let it enter the venue. A security guard slapped a woman journalist while another female journalist slapped another guard. Yet another guard pushed another female reporter out of the way. The Bentley, decorated with flowers and blacked-out windows, drove away quickly but angry journalists followed behind on foot. They broke through the first security cordon at the foot of the fort and then started moving up towards the entrance. They were joined by some locals who did not want to miss out on any action.
That sounds ace, and a fight is exactly what the Liz Hurley wedding needed. Liz Hurley is so desperately unfamous these days, you see, that all kinds of special tricks were planned to try and get her wedding talked about. Hugh Grant bought Liz Hurley a monkey but that didn't really work, Liz Hurley changed the day of the wedding but that didn't work either and not even the promise of elephants and horn-blowing priests in a country that literally makes Liz Hurley puke could get anyone that excited. But a security guard slapping a lady journalist? Yeah, that'll do it.
As hilarious as a swarm of journalists and security guards slapping each other and getting more and more outraged is, there's very obviously one way that the whole sorry fight could have been broken up quickly and efficiently. All that needed to happen was for Liz Hurley to stop her car, get out and give a dramatic reading from one of her movies. Two seconds of hearing Hurley woodenly try to emote through a soliloquy from Double Whammy and those journalists wouldn't have stood a chance.

Say what you will, Stuart, but Liz looks quite “‘arf a mo’”-ish in a white bikini. Here’s looking to no. 1,601.
Has anyone see her 15.09 ct Asscher cut diamond engagement ring? pretty cool! I just love beautiful diamonds on beautiful women.
Regarding this shell-blowing, would it a terribly bad idea if we were to present a large trombone to The Archbishop of Canterbury ,and implore him to blow it above the rooftops of Lambeth Palace and Whitehall, when the Lords are finally being reshuffled? Or The AB of Y, (Sentamu, methinks) could parp a whistle from the pews at York Minster everytime he’s got something to say. That’d be a constant whistleblower.
How can you say” country that makes Liz Hurley puke”. Use of such language in an article is terrible. People who think like that should not even enter my country. And people who write articles in this manner should be fired
I think you will find that the statement relates to Hurley’s actual state of being when she goes to India, as she is (perhaps rather too) prone to the various nasties that anybody is ikely to pick up there, or anywhere in the world. I doubt it very much that an institution as lofty as Hecklerspray would let themselves be pulled into another Jadesque saga by declaring India ill. One must read between ze lines.
