It's usually his sisters making the headlines, and unfortunately for Rob Kardashian he is in the spotlight this week for all the wrong reasons.

Rob, 26, is alleged to have attacked Andra Viak and stolen her camera equipments at a gym in West Hollywood. She was reportedly taking a picture of his shirtless, when he allegedly grabbed her camera and took the memory card.

According to the website, Rob says he lashed out because the photographer had trespassed onto private property to take the pictures. At the time, Ms Viak filed a robbery report with police, and subsequently sued the star for robbery and assault. She told law enforcement officials that Rob, who is in the middle of a weight loss programme, had taken her memory card in an effort to stop the shirtless images being released.
