Nicole Kidman is pressing charges against a paparazzo who crashed into her on a bicycle, knocking her to the ground.

Nicole had just left the Calvin Klein show for New York's Fashion Week and was returning to the Carlyle Hotel.  As she walked toward the entrance, a freelance photog named Carl Wu was roaring toward her on his bike.

Witnesses tell TMZ ... as Wu got dangerously close to Nicole, he appeared to hit his brakes, but it didn't do the trick.  He slammed into her and she went crashing to the ground.

A photog who was there tells TMZ ... Nicole was furious and said she wanted to press charges against Wu.  Nicole called the cops, and they're on the way right now.

Wu is a notorious photog who has had run-ins with other celebs, including Lada Gaga.  There's actually a Tumblr account called, "F**k You Carl Wu."

As for Nicole ... no word on whether she's injured -- though paramedics were on scene ... just in case.

4:45 PM PDT:  ?We just got video of Carl Wu leaving the police station.  He wasn't in the mood to chat.

Lamar Odom Attack
Photog Wants to
Press Charges

One of the L.A. photogs Lamar Odom went nuts on this week has lawyered up, law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... and we're told the man plans to press charges against the NBA star.

According to sources, detectives are still investigating the incident -- when Lamar flipped on two photogs in Hollywood, damaging equipment and allegedly smashing one of their cars -- but the case will most likely be forwarded to the L.A. City Attorney soon for criminal prosecution.

It's unclear which photog is pursuing legal recourse ... but we're told one DEFINITELY wants to see Lamar go down for what he did.

As we reported, it appears Lamar snapped because a photog asked questions about Khloe Kardashian ... namely about Lamar's alleged extramarital affair with a stripper.

Attempts to reach the photogs involved, as well as Lamar, were unsuccessful.

Jeff Garlin
No Charges
After Window Rage Arrest "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Jeff Garlin won't face vandalism charges after allegedly smashing the windows of a Mercedes on Saturday, TMZ has learned -- but he will get a stern talking to.

We broke the story ... Garlin was popped for felony vandalism in Studio City, CA following the incident, when he allegedly flew off the handle while arguing with a female Mercedes driver over a parking spot ... breaking the woman's side window with his bare hand (impressive).

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Garlin will NOT face criminal charges ... he will instead have to sit for a meeting with the L.A. City Attorney, who will lecture him about the incident as well as vandalism laws.

Garlin's not completely off the hook ... if he doesn't behave, the L.A. City Attorney can still file criminal charges. Plus, the driver of the Mercedes is still free to go after Garlin for the damages in civil court.

Rob Kardashian
CRIMINAL CHARGES DROPPED
in Alleged Photog Assault Rob Kardashian's topless paparazzi drama is officially over -- the judge has officially dismissed the charges against RK for allegedly attacking a female snapper who took shirtless pics of him back in March.

We broke the story ... RK was charged with battery and theft after Andra Viak claimed an angry Rob got physcial with her and swiped her memory card when she took photos of the 26-year-old leaving  a West Hollywood gym without a shirt.

Besides the criminal charges -- Viak sued Rob over the incident ... but she dropped the lawsuit last week when Kardashian agreed to pay for the camera equipment.

The only remaining formality was those 2 misdemeanor charges ... but Andra didn't want to pursue them ... and today, the judge officially dismissed the case.

Interesting note -- the prosecution DID NOT WANT TO DROP THE CASE -- but in light of the settlement agreement between Rob and Andra, the judge ignored the prosecution's objection and tossed the charges anyway.
