Scarlett Johansson
Malibu Media
"Hi, we've just gotten into an accident," the Lost in Translation star told a 911 dispatcher. "Unfortunately we have a bunch of paparazzi cars also following us."
Johansson's fender-bender happened last week as she tried to duck the prying lenses of several photographers who followed the 20-year-old actress as she drove away from her Hollywood house with two friends in her car.

According to the tape, the dispatcher asked Johansson, "About the media … are they starting to cause problems?"
"They've pulled all around us," she replied on the 911 call.
"Gotcha," the dispatcher responded. "OK, I'm going to roll a couple of (units) out there, OK, Miss Johansson?"
The California Highway Patrol responded to the call, but no charges were filed and no one was hurt in the incident.
Original reports stated that the accident happened inside the parking lot of Disneyland, but the tape indicates that it may have occurred on a street near the park.
A publicist for Johansson said The Island actress has left Los Angeles, fed up with the constant intrusions. "She can't deal with it anymore," publicist Marcel Pariseau said.
