Stars Are Blind -- And They Can't Drive Either!

Your average celebrity is capable of doing a multitude of things: star in a blockbuster film, release a number one album... or maybe even both! But it seems like for all their "star powers" they seem to lack one essential skill (at least if you live in Hollywood) - they can't f'n drive!!!

Not to make light out of potentially harmful incidents, but seriously, what is going on in Tinseltown? With the recent incidents of Daniel Baldwin and Haley Joel Osment, it made us think back to some other recent celebrity car mishaps, a lot of which were caught on tape.

The Lohan Family
Like father, like daughter. Michael Lohan escaped death after crashing his car into a pole and it burst into flames. He had been driving with a suspended license at the time and had a blood-alcohol level nearly double the legal limit. Check out the video of his charred Volvo - hard to believe he walked away unscathed.

And his daughter has been involved in not one, but two vehicular mishaps. In the second one, Lindsay crashed her Mercedes on Robertson Blvd. in a trendy area of Los Angeles - and right near celebrity hotspot the Ivy. After the crash, Lohan ran into the nearby Hideaway House Antiques shop to hide from the paparazzi. While plenty of photogs were on the scene, as one eyewitness would tell TMZ, they were not responsible for this accident.

Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos
How these two still even have a driver's licenses is beyond us. Back in November 2005, Stavros crashed Paris' Bentley into the back of a parked trunk - with TMZ's cameras rolling (thanks Stavros!).

Last month, Paris backed her into a parked Honda Civic. We can't imagine what these two are like when surrounded by other MOVING vehicles.

And just this week, Paris was pulled over by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for driving too slow in West Hollywood.

Chris Tucker
The "Rush Hour" star was arrested in Georgia in April 2005 for speeding. He was allegedly clocked doing 109 miles per hour in his 2005 Bentley. So where was Tucker in such a hurry to get to? Why, church services in South Carolina, of course.

He pled guilty to speeding and eluding police and was fined $6,999. The 32-year-old comedian told authorities that he didn't hear their sirens, presumably because the Lord was already talking his ear off. Chris Tucker
Tyson Beckford
Cover model Tyson Beckford suffered a few injuries to his famous mug when his truck was rammed off the road in June 2005. As he explained, "My lip was busted, one of my teeth was knocked out and my eye was swollen shut ... My nose was fractured and the blood was squirting out of my face.

Check out the video of Tyson explaining what happened -- plus footage of his burning truck.

32. Was at the scene of the Tyson crash in Secaucus NJ. I was at the Hilton hotel about 30 feet away. His injuries were not as bad as he made them sound. Also, he was out of the truck well before it was engulfed in flames. I also recall him yelling at a police officer. Those are the people who would have gotten you have risked their lives trying to get him out if indeed he couldn't get out of the seatbelt. One car crash because he was driving way to fast around that turn!

33. Im always going fast and speeding, so if these celebs have the money 2 buy these powerful fast vehicles and like to speed around in them like Chris Tucker. Then more power to them cause i know if i had the money 2 buy a car like theres i would be doing the same thing. So why dont we just let these poor celebrities BE. Get off there backs about the way they drive and lets all just worry about ourselves.

34. I'm glad Haley Joel Osment didn't die. He might have had broken bones and severe cuts and wounds but thank goodness he didn't die. I'm a big fan of him and he's the best voice actor that I know.

35. Hey Gary.... I am not jealous of Paris. I have everything I need without having to be rich and flaunting it. She has nothing on me. Money and beauty dont buy real happiness. She is what she is.... a phoney. She looks like she does because she spends alot of money to look that way. For example, spray on tans, hair extensions, spas, etc. I am happy with my self as I am and I dont spend millions to do it.

36. All of them should be required to participate in a demolition derby held in WV and the last one standing gets a trophy plus goes to driving school. The rest have their licenses suspended indefinitely. Sell tickets and put it on pay per view!

Donate the proceeds to charity -- Who really cares about these mourns!

37. This is entertainment? Who cares what these people are doing or not doing. Get a life. Get away from their cars. Let them go on about their business and you go on about yours. This whole thing is so lame.

38. How pathetic and retarded do you have to be to crash into aparked car? Paris has done it more then once, honestly she has got to be one of the dumbest people on earth and she probably gave her driving instructer a blow job in order to pass

39. im just saying...how can you say paris hilton is a slut..because a tape of her and her boyfriend got out...something she DIDN'T want to happen..and yes, she may have looked down at others at times, a hater as you say it..but now she realizes it....and how can you judge her about being a heiress? have you ever been one? do you know how it is to grow up with all that money? do you know how it is to be spoiled with things other than love? just like i can not judge you...you can not judge her...and about her driving...now there you are right..she doesnt need to be driving..she doesn't even need to be behind the wheel of a car..and thats not a judgement, thats a fact...LOL...
Peace, love, and AMF

40. I believe that being famos for one thing or another must be tuff. I am not famous.Thank God!!!!!!! I wouldn't want to be either if asked to be. I do feel sorry that the rich and famous feel as though they have to turn to drugs and alcohol to "get away". I know too that they must not be able to go to town or else where with out someone reconizing them.

42. Who gives a s---- what these "celebrities" do or where they were seen at an accident......The truck driver is right .....people should focus on their own lives and driving.....if everyone would do something courteous to another driver 2 or 3 times a day everyone would,nt be so stressed out.....I laugh at people during rush hour traffic who are yelling etc...and tailgating just to be 10 feet in front of the other guy.....my suggestion is to turn up the music and chill....

43. I see that it sad that people would spy and exploit the so called celebs., we all should consider what it must be like to stand in thier shoes, for if they could walk in mine, then they would know. I have not ever posted anything like this before. So here it is, Paris, would it be nice to have a simple life with a honest , loyal, hardworking man who is real? I am! J.S.S.

44. WHAT DOES TMZ STAND FOR? :o)

45. WE the fans are dum. If it wasn"t for us buying those tickets and watching all theirmovies they would be probably normal people.Don"t put all the blame on these so called stars. Let them drive stupid but at least give them more fines and longer jail time. Who knows they might straighten up. plus give Paris Hilton a nun suite.
