Flying phones
If I were an insolent, lazy-assed Mercer Hotel employee or Naomi Campbell's maid, I would much rather duck an oncoming flying table phone (i.e., lightweight plastic, not that dense or heavy) than a Cruise-missile like cell phone. Cell phones are small, hard and dangerous, and if you get squarely beaned by one I imagine it would hurt like hell. Then again, it depends on the celebrity's throwing arm and how angry he/she is.

I'm still waiting for the story where one of these people knocks the fuck out of one of these spoiled celebrities.

This is analogous to the common childhood trope of whether it's more dangerous to be hit in the head with a baseball (or even golfball) or a softball. Just quickly thinking about it, a baseball seems worse, even though it's smaller, due to tighter composition and harder material (Jeff's aforementioned density?) So I concur that a cell phone is worse.
Though I'm betting Russell's got a pretty good arm, and he could throw a plastic cup and make it hurt.

Potato, po-tah-to. Throwing ANYTHING at someone's head is wrong; it's also battery, which is a crime. Crowe and Campbell both oughta be locked up, the latter for a very, very long time.
