Ride Me

An iconic piece of Paul Reubens' past is heading home to a lucky bidder -- the bicycle he rode as Pee-wee Herman was sitting outside an auction house after it sold for 6-figures.

We spotted the 1953 Schwinn DX Cruiser in the back of a truck Monday afternoon while the TMZ Celebrity Tour was taking some lucky guests around Hollywood. Normally, we spot celebs, but this time we found this memorable celeb ride outside Bonhams auction house on Sunset Blvd.

Bonhams is known for its unique auctions, with sales of everything from Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol art to Rush drummer Neil Peart's drumkit -- and everything in between.

The auction house had its Pop Culture: Then & Now auction last month, with the whimsical bicycle from "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" fetching $140,000 ... so it seems the sweet ride was about to be shipped to the winning bidder.

As we reported, Paul died back in July after a private battle with cancer.

Boxing star Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller was arrested on Tuesday ... after he was accused of body-slamming a car dealership employee before stealing a truck.

According to the Hollywood Police Department in Florida, the incident took place at Haims Motors -- a used car lot located about half an hour north of Miami.

Cops say an employee at the dealership told them a woman had approached him and complained that she had left a phone in a truck that the establishment had recently repossessed.

Police say when the employee went to grab the keys to help her get the device back ... Miller grabbed him, put him in a chokehold -- and insisted he fork over the keys.

HPD officers say the employee told them Miller then threw him to the ground, nabbed the keys and jacked the truck.

Cops say that while Miller fled the scene, he was unaware that there was a tracking device in the ride -- and a short time later, officers found him, arrested him, and booked him on charges of carjacking without a firearm or weapon and burglary with assault or battery.

Miller appeared in court on Wednesday ... and during the proceedings, prosecutors said they believed Miller had planned the attack.

"It would appear that Mr. Miller," one official said in the courtroom, "he knew what the plan was going to this business to get his car back."

Miller, however, pled not guilty to the charges ... though jail records show that as of Thursday morning, he's still behind bars in Broward County.

The video of Ian Ziering brawling with a group of bikers in Hollywood tells the whole story -- at least according to one of the bikers who tells TMZ ... the whole incident was completely unprovoked by the motor crew.

We spoke to 2 men Wednesday on "TMZ Live" who sometimes ride with the 605 Minibike Gang, but are not members of the gang. They say Ian went from 0 to 100 all on his own, without any altercation prior to the video we've seen.

The 2 riders here go by Roy and Nocturnal. Nocturnal is the guy who was there on Sunday, and even recorded the video shot from behind Ian's SUV.

Nocturnal insists the group's first encounter with Ian was right there on Hollywood Blvd when the video starts.

He says 2 of his fellow minibikers were doing a legal lane split, and Ian purposely tried to prevent them from getting in front of his car ... even though they had every right to do so.

They say it appears Ian didn't like that ... and go on to allege he hopped out of his car to start a physical fight all on his own. If there was any incidental contact -- Nocturnal and Roy insist it was Ian's own doing ... and that he was the one who invited an ugly clash.

Nocturnal and Roy say they don't know why Ian might've escalated things the way he did -- especially with his young daughter right there with him -- but they theorize he was having a really bad day ... and let out his frustrations on the bikers.

As we first reported, LAPD is investigating the incident for felony vandalism -- for the bashing of Ian's windshield with a helmet -- and misdemeanor battery for the fight.

El video de Ian Ziering peleando con un grupo de motociclistas en Hollywood cuenta toda la historia, al menos de acuerdo con uno de los motociclistas, quien dice a TMZ que todo el incidente fue completamente no provocado por parte del grupo de ciclistas.

Hablamos con 2 hombres el miércoles en "TMZ Live" que a veces andan con el grupo 605 Minibike Gang, pero no son miembros. Ellos dicen que Ian fue de 0 a 100 por su propia cuenta, sin un altercado previo del video que hemos visto.

Los dos pilotos con los que hablamos van por Roy y Nocturnal. Nocturnal es el tipo que estuvo allí el domingo e incluso grabó el video tomado desde detrás del todoterreno de Ian.

Nocturnal insiste en que el primer encuentro del grupo con Ian se produjo justo en Hollywood Blvd cuando comienza el video.

Dice que 2 de sus compañeros del grupo de ciclistas estaban haciendo una maniobra de carril legal e Ian trató a propósito de evitar que se pusieran delante de su carro, a pesar de que tenían todo el derecho a hacerlo.

Parece que Ian no le gustó eso, dicen ellos y dicen que luego saltó de su carro para iniciar una pelea física por su cuenta. Si hubo algún contacto incidental, Nocturnal y Roy insisten en que fue cosa de Ian y que él fue quien dio pie a un enfrentamiento feo.

Nocturnal y Roy dicen que no saben por qué Ian podría haber escalado las cosas de la manera que lo hizo, especialmente con su hija pequeña allí, pero sugieren que estaba teniendo un día muy malo y que descargó sus frustraciones en los propios ciclistas.

Como informamos, la policía de Los Ángeles está investigando el incidente por delito grave de vandalismo -por el golpe en el parabrisas de Ian- y delito menor de agresión por la pelea.

El aterrador encuentro de Ian Ziering con un grupo de brutos motociclistas en Hollywood está ahora bajo investigación policial y los oficiales tienen algunas pistas.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que hay cámaras de vigilancia en toda la sección de Hollywood Blvd. donde Ian se metió con los motociclistas, así como imágenes de teléfono celular del incidente, por lo que los investigadores tienen mucho que hacer.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que este grupo de motociclistas golpeó el carro de Ian y cuando salió del vehículo las cosas se calentaron y el ataque se produjo... esto respalda las palabras de Ian.

Los policías nos dicen que esto no es un incidente aislado y que ha sucedido antes con grandes grupos de motociclistas y ciclistas también.

La policía le recomienda a cualquiera que se encuentre en los zapatos de Ian que debe permanecer en su carro, llamar al 911 y mantener la calma porque la agresividad suele escalar muy rápidamente en estas situaciones.

La forma en que los policías lo ven, es mejor dejar que el seguro maneje las cosas, siempre y cuando se trata solo de daños a la propiedad.

Un video del ataque muestra a los motociclistas usando sus cascos para golpear el carro de Ian, dañando su parabrisas mientras su hija de 10 años estaba dentro.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que lo más probable es que el caso sea entregado al Fiscal del Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles, ya que es un caso de delito de vandalismo con más de $1.000 en daños.

Nos dicen que los cargos criminales sean probablemente delitos menores, porque no hubo lesiones graves.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la policía de Los Ángeles está al tanto de un post de Instagram que uno de los motociclistas supuestamente publicó en las redes sociales y lo están investigando.

Ian Ziering's terrifying encounter with a bunch of biker brutes in Hollywood is now under police investigation ... and cops have some early leads.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... there are surveillance cameras all up and down the section of Hollywood Blvd. where Ian got into it with the bikers, as well as cell phone footage of the incident, so investigators have a lot to work with here.

Our sources say this group of bikers bumped Ian's car and when he got out of the vehicle, things got heated and the attack ensued ... which backs up what Ian's claiming.

Cops tell us this is not an isolated incident and it's happened before with large groups of motorcyclists, and bicyclists too.

Police recommend anyone finding themselves in Ian's shoes should stay in their car, call 911 and remain calm ... because mob mentality can escalate very quickly in these situations.

The way cops see it ... it's better to let insurance handle things as long as it's just property damage and it's not worth getting into it with a large group of people.

One angle from the attack shows bikers using their helmets to beat the crap out of Ian's car ... damaging his windshield while his 10-year-old daughter was inside.

Our sources say the case will most likely be turned over to the Los Angeles County District Attorney because it's a case of felony vandalism with over $1,000 in damage.

As for the battery aspect of the case, we're told any criminal charges there would likely be misdemeanors, because there were no major injuries.

Our sources say LAPD is aware of an Instagram post one of the bikers allegedly published on social media ... and they're looking into it.

Shohei Ohtani is not only rich, he's strategically brilliant, because he figured out an instant way of ingratiating himself with his new teammates, and it involves a Porsche!

The Dodgers star gifted an awesome Porsche to the wife of teammate Joe Kelly. Why, you ask? Turns out she mounted a full-on campaign to get Ohtani to sign with her hubby's team.

Check out the video ... Ashley Kelly is stunned as she peers out her front door and Joe tells her the car parked on the curb next to their house ... well, the car is now hers!!!

Ashley was on a relentless campaign to snag Ohtani, telling her Insta followers she changed the name of her 7-month-old child from Kai to ShoKai. Not true, but funny -- and effective. She did a ton more, including offering up her husband's number as an incentive. An offer Ohtani took her up on!

In turn, Shohei showed his appreciation for the number swap with the brand-new whip.

Shohei can certainly afford it ... he signed a 10-year contract worth $700 million earlier this month, although he's deferring almost all of it for years. It's the biggest contract in the history of sports.

Shohei Ohtani no solo es rico, sino estratégicamente brillante, porque ha encontrado una forma instantánea de congraciarse con sus nuevos compañeros de equipo, ¡y se trata de un Porsche!

La estrella de los Dodgers le regaló un impresionante Porsche a la esposa de su compañero de equipo Joe Kelly. ¿Por qué? Resulta que ella montó una campaña para conseguir que Ohtani firmara con el equipo de su marido.

Mira el video, Ashley Kelly quedó atónita cuando se asomó a la puerta de su casa y Joe le dice que el carro estacionado en la acera junto a su casa es suyo.

Ashley estuvo involucrada en una campaña implacable para enganchar Ohtani, diciendole a sus seguidores Insta que cambió el nombre de su hijo de siete meses de Kai a ShoKai. No es cierto, pero es divertido y efectivo. Hizo mucho más, incluso ofreció el número de su marido como incentivo. Una oferta que Ohtani aceptó.

A su vez, Shohei mostró su agradecimiento por el intercambio de números con el flamante látigo.

Shohei ciertamente puede permitírselo... firmó un contrato de 10 años por valor de 700 millones de dólares a principios de este mes, aunque está aplazando casi todo durante años. Es el mayor contrato en la historia del deporte.

Who needs Santa Claus when you're Ryan Garcia?!

The 25-year-old boxing star just treated himself to two early Christmas gifts weeks after his knockout win ... a brand-new Cadillac truck and an Audi R8!

The super lightweight flexed his new rides Tuesday on Instagram ... a matte black Caddy that he copped from Audi Fletcher Jones in Costa Mesa, CA, about an hour outside Los Angeles.

"Fully armored Cadillac," Garcia said. "Grenade resistant."

Ryan also took home a dark grey Audi R8 two-seater sports car, something Garcia has badly wanted for a long time.

The 24-1 boxer has every right to spoil himself this holiday season, and it's well deserved ... RG bounced back after his first loss ever which came at the hands of Gervonta 'Tank' Davis in April, one of the biggest fights of this year. Ryan returned and knocked out Oscar Duarte Jurado in the 8th round earlier this month at the Toyota Center in Houston.

"A lot of hard work and commitment has been put in and it’s paying off," Garcia said on IG. "To be clear not just in a materialistic way but it’s just one example of you reaping what you sow."

"Thank you, God for providing strength in everything I do and allowing me the opportunity to work hard Love you with all my heart ❤️"

Rapper Quando Rondo was arrested Friday on federal drug charges ... TMZ has confirmed.

The Savannah rapper was taken into custody Friday without incident. Cops say Quando was a passenger in a car that was pulled over. The vehicle was pulled over with the intention of arresting Quando and not because of a traffic violation. None of the other occupants in the car were taken into custody.

Quando -- real name Tyquian Terrel Bowman -- was indicted back in June along with 18 others on state gang and drug charges. He's accused of violating the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act over his involvement with the Rollin' 60s street gang.

Ric Flair wasn't saying "WOOOO" after his recent run-in with Michael Chandler ... it was more like "OWWWW," 'cause the WWE legend was straight-up tackled to the ground!!

Naitch and the UFC star had an "altercation" at a bar recently ... and the footage of their wild trash-talkin' session that turned violent quickly spread on social media.

Of course, many rightfully suspected there wasn't any real bad blood between the two -- after all, they've starred in commercials for Car Shield in the past ... and actually have another spot dropping next week.

But we reached out to Chandler about the whole thing ... and he explained what exactly went down.

"It was a work," the lightweight contender told TMZ Sports. "Ric was teaching me the art."

Regardless, it's still just as funny to see the two get in full character for the clip ... with 74-year-old Flair showing he's still just as good with his lip service, and 37-year-old Chandler slapping him and doing a double leg takedown.

Michael B. Jordan had a bad encounter Saturday night ... with a Kia, which is now worse for wear after MBJ veered into it.

The actor crashed his blue Ferrari into a similarly-colored parked Kia at around 11:30 PM in Hollywood.

The LAPD responded and found no signs of Michael being impaired by drugs or alcohol. Cops did not perform a field sobriety test.

Our law enforcement sources say police on the scene asked Jordan, "What happened?" but the 'Creed' star didn't offer an explanation.

There were no injuries or damage to property, other than the Kia and the Ferrari. LAPD told Michael to fill out a police report online.

Michael has been out and about with this Ferrari before -- he was photographed walking away from it in 2021 ... when he was still dating Lori Harvey, so there's no doubt it's his.

It wasn't even a milestone birthday, but don't tell Patriots DT Davon Godchaux ... he gifted his fiancée Chanel Iman with a brand new Mercedes Benz G-Wagon for her upcoming 33rd birthday, and it literally brought the model to tears!

The 7-year NFL pro shocked Iman with the 4-wheeled gift on Tuesday -- three days before her actual birthday (December 1) -- and shared the surprise on his Instagram story.

You can see the bright blue whip, which starts around $140k, sitting in the driveway with a massive red bow on the hood ... as the Victoria's Secret Angel stood next to the Benz, smiling ear to ear.

"Thank you so much, honey!" Iman yelled. "This is the best gift ever! I love you!"

Chanel was super excited ... there was even dancing and some (very happy) screaming.

"She was crying lol," Godchaux said in the caption. "Big baby!"

Making the whole scene even sweeter ... the couple's little newborn daughter got to witness mom and dad's joy from the baby stroller.

"Happy early birthday to you baby! Thank you for always holding it down," Godchaux said.

"Real ones do real things."

Godchaux -- who signed an extension with the Pats last year -- and Iman went public with their relationship in 2022 ... before revealing they were having a baby in May.

The 29-year-old proposed to Iman shortly after the pregnancy announcement ... and the couple welcomed Capri in September.

"I never thought I would be getting down on one knee," Godchaux said in May, "but LOVE will make you do some amazing things in life!"

Britney Spears ha estado pasando desapercibida desde la publicación de sus memorias el mes pasado, pero ahora está saliendo en público de nuevo y hay que decir que se ve muy feliz.

La estrella del pop (y ahora autora) fue fotografiada el sábado por la tarde en West Hollywood, donde fue a cenar al Chateau Marmont con su manager, Cade Hudson. Ella también tenía un amigo peludo de etiqueta que incluso se subió en el asiento del conductor cuando se fueron.

Como dijimos, Brit se ve radiante, mostrando una enorme sonrisa mientras los paparazzi disparaban. Se le vio caminando con mucha confianza mientras lucía un traje de color naranja brillante, botas y gafas de sol.

Se podría decir que está bastante satisfecha por los resultados de "The Woman in Me", que salió hace un mes, entregando toneladas de datos polémicos.

No vamos a repetir todo de nuevo, pero digamos que ella ganó un montón de simpatía y apoyo adicional de parte de la gente gracias sus historias personales. Esto le viene muy bien, ya que había perdido algo de popularidad después de la tutela.

Ahora, sin embargo, Brit tiene al público de vuelta de su lado y ella parece saberlo. Por supuesto, también está el hecho de que ella está recibiendo una buena parte de las ventas netas del libro, el cual ha sido un artículo muy vendido con más de 1.1 millones de copias vendidas en la primera semana.

Así que sí, Britney ha sacado algo bueno entre todo su drama.

En cuanto a la conducción, bueno, aquí está la esperanza de que ella frena su rollo y puede permanecer entre las líneas en la carretera. Ya le han puesto un par de multas de tráfico en el último año.

Britney Spears has been laying low since releasing her bombshell memoir last month -- but now, she's stepping out in public again ... and gotta say, she looks pretty damn happy.

The pop star (and now author) was snapped out and about Saturday afternoon in West Hollywood, where she hit dinner at the Chateau Marmont with her manager, Cade Hudson. She also had a furry friend tagging along ... and even got in the driver's seat as they left.

Like we said ... Brit's radiating here, flashing a huge grin as paps fired away -- and walking along with a lot of confidence, this while rocking a bright orange outfit, boots and shades.

From the looks of it, you could say she might be quite pleased over the fallout of "The Woman in Me," which came out about a month ago now ... with tons of juicy nuggets.

We're not gonna rehash all of it here again, but let's just say ... she gained a lot of extra sympathy and support as people processed her stories and claims -- which is interesting, 'cause you could argue she'd, perhaps, been losing a little steam post-conservatorship.

Now, however ... Brit has the public back in her corner -- and she seems to know that. Of course, there's also the fact she's getting a nice cut of the net sales of the book -- and so far, it's been a hot-ticket item ... with over 1.1 million copies sold in the first week!

So yeah, she's cleaned up nice and then some in the aftermath of all this.

As far as the driving, well -- here's hoping she slows her roll and can stay between the lines on the road. She's already gotten hit with a couple traffic tickets over the past year or so.

Russ says he's the victim of a home burglary in Georgia ... telling cops thieves made off with five guns, a pair of designer purses and his girlfriend's Mercedes-Benz.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, the Roswell Police Department says the rapper called them a little before 1 AM Friday and reported seeing burglars on his home security camera.

Cops say when they got there the front door was open and the place had clearly been ransacked ... though the alleged burglars appeared to be long gone.

Russ, who was not home at the time, got on FaceTime with the officers as they toured the home ... telling them 5 firearms were taken, as well as two purses and his girlfriend's 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class AMG.

Police say the "Losin Control" rapper told them the guns taken included a pair of Glock 19s, a CZ Scorpion and two Walther handguns ... all 9mm firearms.

As for the designer bags ... Russ claims thieves made off with two Chanel purses, a pink one valued at $15k and a black one valued at $9k.

Cops say an initial review of surveillance footage shows at least two people entering the home from the basement patio door around 10:15 PM Thursday ... before walking right out the front door around midnight with backpacks and suitcases.
