The fun's not over, either: a second photo session takes place Friday. "Part two is going to be fantastic. That's all I can say."

Mike Tyson Arrested After Paparazzi Brawl at LAX

Mike Tyson has been arrested at LAX airport for battery after a bloody confrontation with a paparazzo outside the United terminal.According to sourcesat LAX, Tyson punched the pap in the face and there is blood everywhere.

Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The photographer got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood. An LAPD spokesperson said the photographer suffered a minor laceration to the forehead.

Cops say Tyson and the photographer performed citizen's arrests on each other -- both are expected to be booked for misdemeanor battery. Cops also said witnesses backed both stories ... so that could get interesting.

If Tyson is prosecuted, given that he's a former boxing champ, the charge could end up being assault with a deadly weapon.

Tyson's rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old daughter when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi -- adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.

Well, Trump isn't taking it lying down.  He released the following statement yesterday . . . quote, "Carrie should be ashamed of herself.  Certainly I would never do a thing like that, because it would be too hurtful . . .

"It was total nonsense it was fiction in her imagination . . . I don't even know how she came up with an idea like that.  She should not have written that in the book.

"She's trying to act like she's a nun so maybe she should release [her] sex tape and people would see whether or not she is a nun."

He added, quote, "She's trying to sell a book.  She's doing the best she can I can't imagine too many people would be interested in it, but you never know what sells these days."
