A St. Petersburg photographer is suing Rihanna and Chris Brown for $1 million. Rihanna and Chris were exiting a St. Petersburg club last spring when their bodyguards kicked and knocked down a photographer aiming to get a picture of them. Wowza!

more news after the jump…

Luis Santana, a local newspaper photographer who works for the St. Petersburg Times, perched outside Vintage Ultra Lounge hoping to snap a picture of Rihanna and Chris when they left at 2:30 a.m. This was on May 6, before the pair had confirmed they were dating, and their handlers didn’t want any newsbites of the two spending alone time together.
