London, Nov 6 : Troubled popstar Amy Winehouse, it seems, can’t get enough of controversies – the singer has been caught on camera launching an unprovoked attack on paparazzi.

The star lunged at a photographer outside her house in Camden, North London, reports the Sun.

Witnesses say the singer was not being harassed or bullied by waiting paps before the incident.

This is not the first time that the ‘Back To Black’ hitmaker indulged in an uncalled for attack, as she had earlier hit a fan at a concert and even dancer Sherene Flash claimed to have been a victim to her attack.

The ivory was not on show in Pretoria. Instead, images of the tusks, which are being stored in Kruger National Park, were being displayed on a big screen.
