Who the Heck Is Pixie Lott and Why Are Paps Fighting Over Her?

British pop star causes a melee at LAX, so we're officially putting her on our watch list

When we heard there was a paparazzi scuffle at LAX this weekend, we thought for sure it must be the comings and goings of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart or Lindsay Lohan that caused it. We were wrong.

A pair of photographers battled—leaving one in jail for suspected felony battery and the other in the hospital—all for a spot on the curb to get a glimpse of…Pixie Lott!

Who?!

The 19-year-old is a British pop star we're officially putting on our radar.

According to her Wikipedia page, megaproducer L.A. Reid signed her to Island Def Jam when she was just 15, but the deal didn't last after a major bidding war in both the U.S. and the U.K. ensued. Pixie (real name Victoria Louise Lott) released her debut album, Turn It Up, in September, and her fourth single, "Gravity," dropped just a few weeks ago.

In addition to having one of her tracks featured on Private Practice recently, Pixie will be opening for Rihanna in the U.K. in May.

Something tells us we'll be seeing a bunch more from this beauty. We just hope the paps have learned their lesson early.
