The attack on the photographer made headlines around the world and sparked calls by Los Angeles-area politicians for more controls over aggressive paparazzi.

Skylar Martin Peak, 24, and Philip John Hildebrand, 30, both of Malibu, were each charged with one misdemeanor count of battery for attacking Richid Altmbareckouhammou, who was working for a French news agency, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office said.

Officials claim the two men threw Altmbareckouhammou into the water from where he was taking pictures on the beach. Each faces up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.

The incident occurred while McConaughey was surfing near a cove in Malibu. About a dozen paparazzi were on the beach taking pictures of the actor, whose film work includes “Fool’s Gold,” “Failure to Launch,” and the upcoming “Surfer, Dude.”

The incident caused several local politicians to look for ways to curb the activities of the paparazzi. In late July, Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine held a hearing to consider ideas such as licensing paparazzi and creating personal safety zones around celebrities.

Matthew McConaughey’s longtime model girlfriend, Camila Alves, has given birth to the couple’s first child, a 7-pound, 4-ounce boy.

Alves, 24, gave birth Monday night in California, McConaughey’s publicist, Alan Nierob, said in an e-mail Tuesday to The Associated Press.

According to OK! magazine, the couple named their son Levi Alves McConaughey. McConaughey told OK!, “Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. Our son was born at 6:22 p.m., and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light’.”

The 38-year-old actor announced that Alves was pregnant in a posting on his Web site in January.

“Camila and I were side by side the entire time,” McConaughey told OK! magazine. “We are both tired and elated, and are so happy to have created the greatest miracle in the world — having a child and making a family.”

“Now comes the greatest adventure — raising one, together.”

Matthew McConaughey is expecting his first child with girlfriend Camila Alves.

The 38-year-old ‘Sahara’ actor announced the happy news on his website yesterday, saying he is “excited” about experiencing parenthood for the first time.

He wrote: “My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together. It’s three months growing in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far.

“We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life.”

Matthew – who recently wrapped ‘Fool’s Gold’, his second film alongside Kate Hudson – met 24-year-old Brazilian model Camila more than a year ago, and the pair have been inseparable ever since.

In the message, Matthew added: “Wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution. Thanks for being fans of me and my work and now this new and miraculous chapter in my life, as me and Camila and our child do our best to just keep living.”

His representative Alan Nierob added: “Matthew is euphoric. He couldn’t be happier.”

Matthew recently gave an interview to America’s Playboy magazine in which he revealed he was looking forward to having children and couldn’t wait for “some little McConaugheys running around.”

“When Ralph and I started the project I was originally going to keep the bike,” McConaughey has reportedly posted on the eBay listing. “But he and I decided it could get more use and raise money … Let the biddin’ begin, hook’em horns – and now and always, just keep livin’.”

The starting bid for the 2007 “Bobber” Sport Bike is $25,000. All proceeds are to go to McConaughey’s Just Keep Livin’ Foundation and the Texas Exes Scholarship Fund.

Matthew McConaughey is taking Owen Wilson’s role in the comedy film Tropic Thunder.

Wilson dropped out of the DreamWorks movie after an apparent suicide attempt last month.

Tropic Thunder, which is filming in Hawaii, stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, Nick Nolte, Bill Hader and Steve Coogan. Stiller is also directing.

Tropic Thunder is about a group of actors who gather on a remote island to shoot a big-budget war movie and are forced to become the soldiers they are playing.

Wilson, 38, was taken by ambulance to a hospital after police responded to a call from his Santa Monica home. The next day, Wilson issued a statement asking for privacy so he could “receive care and heal”.
