swatting

It seems that when you achieve a certain level of fame, the usual nuisances keep popping up; paparazzi, persistent autograph-seekers, and now swatters.

In two separate incidents, police officers were called to the homes of Selena Gomez and Justin Timberlake after some bogus 911 calls.

Add Chris Brown to the list of celebrities who've fallen victim to a prank known as "swatting", which is when an emergency call is placed to police to get multiple officers, including SWAT, to a star's home.
