Don't Try to Have Fun Around Ed Westwick

Gossip Girl star reportedly has a fit when a diner is taking pictures near him at a restaurant

UPDATE: Westwick's rep, Carrie Gordon, tells E! News, "There is absolutely no truth" to the diner's story.

It's one thing to throw a dinner party at a New York restaurant. It's another thing to document it, especially if Ed Westwick is eating nearby.

The Gossip Girl hottie hit Los Feliz for dinner recently and wigged out when nearby patrons began snapping photos of their own gathering, according to the New York Daily News "Gatecrasher" column.

"Ed came over and was like, 'Stop taking my picture!'" the diner tells the newspaper. "He started shouting obscenities at me and getting in my face…I thought it was a joke."

After Ed retreated, the guy was unsatisfied and approached the actor for the last word.

"I went over to him and asked him who he thought he was and he dissolved into a fit of rage," he says.

The unnamed diner reportedly returned to his table and resumed his snapping. A little while later, however, the manager came over and gave the guy the boot, supposedly at Ed's request.

"Ed was snickering in the corner because the people he was with had told the staff that I was paparazzi," the man says. "So I paid my bill and left."

Westwick's rep confirmed to the paper that he was there—no word on whether gal-pal Jessica Szohr was with him—but said "there was no altercation."
