Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin got into a fight with Pamela Anderson’s bodyguard outside of a New York City hotel over the weekend. The actor had planned a day out with his eight-year-old daughter Alexandra, but a relaxing excursion quickly turned into chaos when Anderson and her boyfriend Stephen Dorff attempted to leave the same hotel at the same time. “…the crowd of paparazzi and autograph seekers and people who were intrigued to see Pamela surged into me.
