Heath Reveals His Egg Trick

Heath LedgerPaparazzi photographers can't be on many celebrities' Christmas card lists.

But if more stars follow Heath Ledger's example, there could be a growing number of them on the egg list.

Poor Heath is so fed up with photographers staking him out, that he's taken to throwing eggs at them... well, near them.

Contact music reports him as saying: "I've thrown an egg. Not at them just kind of next to them so it splatters up against them.

"That's how pathetic it is. That's what we're reduced to. You can't actually stand up and slap them.

"When they kind of spy in on you and you're trying to like bathe out in the sun, and you're with your girlfriend and your friends and your family... it actually feels like you're getting a slap across the face.

"And we can't physically stand up and hit them back, of course, it would be rude and against the law. So you just get an egg."

Of course, Heath does admit this only happens when he has the oval objects to hand.
