300‘s Gerard Butler was charged in Los Angeles county courts earlier this week for criminal battery against a photographer.

The charge stems from a October 7, 2008 incident in which Butler allegedly punched a photographer three or four times in the mouth while leaving the Crown Bar after the premier of RockNRolla.

Butler faces arraignment on June 10th.  His reps have said that the photographer had been stalking Butler. Butler’s lawyer had no comment.

Reports are coming out that Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament was mugged in in northern Atlanta Georgia outside Southern Tracks Recording along with an employee of the band back on April 27th.

It is reported that three masked men emerged from the woods surrounding Southern Tracks Recording brandishing knives. Ament and the employee were robbed of a total of $7300 is cash and goods, including Ament’s backpack which contained his passport.

Though the entire incident was captured on tape, the masks make identifying the criminals very difficult.

Ament suffered several lacerations to the back of his head. It is not believed that was specifically targeted.

We’ll have more on this incident as events unfold.
