Move over Kanye West, you may not be the only camera-slamming celebrity on the loose.

Reportedly joining the ranks of the digi-cam dunksters is none other than new mom Nicole Richie, according to the intermittently accurate gossips at Page Six.

Here's what supposedly went down...

Leaving the Charlotte Ronson Fashion Week after-party at Country Club in Greenwich Village earlier this week, Richie crossed paths with a "young, Swedish tourist...trying to take her photo."

According to the gossip page's sources, Richie then shouted "I'm not an animal" and "jumped over the velvet rope, ripped the camera out of the girl's hand, and smashed it to the ground."

Reps for Richie didn't respond to the report, and we advise a little skepticism here. Our long-atrophied, pseudo-journalism Spidey sense is tingling. After all, if something like this isn't on YouTube by now, did it really happen?
