Keanu ReevesKeanu ReevesWhat is it with stars in Hollywood at the mo?

Run-ins with the law seem almost commonplace.

The latest celeb to join the Hollywood walk of shame is Matrix star Keanu Reeves.

Though, unlike some, luckily he ain't facing jail for his alleged wrongdoings.

Judicial sources in LA announced yesterday that a civil suit for damages had been filed against the actor.

Alison Silva, a paparazzi photographer, is suing for damages after he was hit by Keanu driving a Porsche back in March this year, in a posh suburb of southwest LA.

The car was allegedly slow-moving at the time of the incident, but the pap is claiming he was injured in the collision and wants compensation for loss of earnings due to hospitalisation.

Local authorities confirmed the photographer was taken to hospital and treated for light injuries.

Whether Keanu will pay out or fight it out remains to be seen.

But all in all it's just another tale of legal woe in Celebville.
