A fired up Lily Allen risked putting her grand US tour plans in jeopardy after she was pictured kicking an irritating paparazzo who allegedly shunted into the back of her car whilst chasing her.

GossipGirls.com provides the pics above where the singer was snapped swinging a punch, throwing a bottle and kicking the photographer before her own bodyguards were seen pulling her away.

Allen, whose new album It's Not Me, It's You, stormed the American charts is due to play State-side in April following her current UK dates.

But should the photographer file a complaint and police find reason to arrest the 23-year-old, she could have her US working visa revoked once again, similar to her ban after a similar scrap back in 2007.
