Singer Beyonce and husband Jay-Z aren’t seen in public together very often and we are guessing it has something to do with the paparazzi.  On Tuesday night the couple was trying to enjoy a romantic dinner together in Croatia and it didn’t turn out as they had intended.

After finishing their dinner at a restaurant on the Adriatic coast, where they are currently vacationing, all hell broke loose.  A large group of photographers went a little overboard as the couple exited the eatery and the scene was soon out of control.  The security team for the stars stepped in to back them off and a shoving match ensued.

One of the camera men went as far as to throw his tripod at the minders–who in turn threw it in the sea.

The couple escaped unharmed into a speed boat and while pulling away, Jay-Z reportedly gave the group a single finger salute.
