Celebrity hairstylist to the stars and all-around BFF to Jessica Simpson accidentally got his face bashed by an over-eager paparazzo as he tried to lead his BFF Jess thru a scrum of paps as the pair tried to make an exit from Madeo restaurant last night. Leading the way for Jess to get to her waiting car, Ken‘s face made unfortunate contact with a pap’s camera, causing his face to split open and start gushing blood … EEK!
Jessica Simpson watched in shock as her BFF/hair stylist Ken Paves had his face busted open during a crazy paparazzi crush on their way out of Madeo late Saturday night. Ken was escorting Jess out of the restaurant, when the sea of snappers swarmed — and in the madness, one guy hit Ken near his eye with a part of a camera. With blood trickling down his face, Ken still managed to get Jess inside their waiting ride. Their driver then whisked the group to a nearby hospital, where Jess accompanied her friend inside the building.
Aww … poor Ken :( On the one hand, it’s pretty crappy that celebs and their friends can’t make the simple walk from a restaurant to their car without getting injured but, in actuality (and thankfully), this sort of thing doesn’t happen too often. It really looks like it was an accident but cameras should not be that close to people’s faces. I am deffo of the mind that people who seek fame have to take some ownership of the attention they receive but no one should be physically injured in this way under any circumstances.

that’s really ridiculous, especially when people have lenses that can zoom in from very far away.
Oh my gosh.. What’s the point of being soo close to him anyways? -.- All you’d get are pictures of his nose or forehead or somethingg.
Why is it that these same photographers can get microscopic close-ups of a stars cellulite from 100 feet away on a public beach, yet must be close enough to injure the same stars with their equipment on a public street?
Why isn’t there a 10ft safety zone?
I’m all for a “photographers” right to make a living, but what about public safety? Stars or not – aren’t they tax paying members of the public as well? We know the “photographers” can get a sellable shot from further away!
dumbass paparazzi has GOT TO settle down!
Poor guy!
I bet a restraining order is gonna come outta this.
They do have to take responsibility for their own fame, but it’s totally out of control. No matter how famous some one is, they at least deserve of few feet of personal space like everyone else.
A few car accidents have already been caused by paps, and now someone’s face got cut open. (not to mention britney spears’ concussion in her video for every time! at least i think that’s what happened…)

he should be able to sue that idiot pap for everything they have. then maybe they would quit getting in people’s faces.
Someone teach those paps how to use their cameras! It’s beyond a joke out there!
