Brad Pitt Protects His Young

Brad Pitt was shopping with Zahara at The Grove in Los Angeles the other day when a pap got a little too close to mama bear and her cub. E!'s Planet Gossip reports that the pap followed them into the parking garage and got in Brad's face.

A witness said, “This paparazzi guy was right in his face taking pictures. Brad grabbed the guy by the collar and said, ‘Get the fuck away from me!' " It worked, because the pap ran out of there. Who knew Brad could be so menacing! Angie must have let him wear his balls that day.

Zahara is totally going to tell the paps to eff off from now on. Hey, she learned it from daddy!
