Essentially I was the imported American sheep dog for these little lambs, these girls. I mean it...It was my job to chase guys away and yell profanities, like "I'll get your mother for this!" and crap like that. Until I realized that it was more profitable the other way.

...fled a welcoming crowd, only to be ambushed outside their hotel room by Hong Kong Standard Correspondent Leonel Borralho. A long scuffle with Penn and bodyguards ensued, after which Borralho sued for $1 million. Two days later, reporters on stakeout took off after the couple, and the resulting car chase created a huge traffic jam, with bystanders cheering Madonna on. The pair finally consented to a photo session, though Penn sacked his publicity agent for failing "to keep the press from us." They are scheduled to leave this week, and the case against Penn will be tried without...
