AKM-GSIUPDATE: Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore confirms to E! News that Pink was changing her baby's diaper when a photographer started taking pictures. The paparazzo kept moving closer to the baby, who had no clothes on. Two men stood up and tried to stop the pap, who fell to the ground and claimed he had been injured. Whitmore says that the deputies spoke to witnesses, who refute the photographer's battery claim, saying it was not true. A detective will be assigned to the case and it will be investigated.

Pink found herself privy to a paparazzo dustup after a photographer was allegedly kicked in the groin by a man as he tried to shoot photos of the singer in Malibu, Calif.
The 33-year-old Pink, however, was reportedly not involved in the altercation. A video of the alleged incident shows that the singer's husband, Carey Hart, was also present.
