L.A. Dodgers Star Frantic 911 Call 'He Woke Up, SLAMMED on Gas"

0207_james_loney_911_launch_ex
A woozy L.A. Dodgers first baseman James Loney smashed into several cars on an L.A. freeway last November ... before waking up, trying to flee the scene ... and crashing again -- this according to a newly released 911 tape.

The caller -- who owns one of the cars Loney hit in his silver Maserati -- describes the entire incident in suspenseful detail ... WHILE IT'S HAPPENING.

When the person on the phone makes the call, she says Loney is "'completely passed out in the front seat" after colliding with several cars -- but Loney wakes up before she ends the call, and tries to take off.

The caller freaks out -- screaming, "Oh my god! Oh my god! He tried to leave the scene ... He woke up, and he slammed on the gas and took off across all the lanes on the freeway."

The caller says Loney quickly hit another car and ended up on the other side of the highway with a broken axle. You gotta hear the clip.

As we first reported, cops handcuffed Loney on the scene and transported him to a nearby hospital for evaluation, where he was later arrested on suspicion of DUI. Cops say they obtained a blood sample to test for drugs -- but it came back negative.

The L.A. City Attorney has since rejected the case due to insufficient evidence. Loney's rep had no comment.

Flo Rida My So-Called Ex-Assistant Is a Thankless Parasite

0207_flo_rida_tmz_ex
No good deed goes unpunished -- at least according to Flo Rida's lawyer, who claims the so-called ex-assistant that's suing the rapper is an ungrateful freeloader who took advantage of his generosity.

TMZ broke the story ... some woman named Mahogany Miller filed a lawsuit against Flo Rida, claiming the rapper worked her to the bone last summer for a paltry $3.08 an hour. Miller claims she confronted Flo over the low wages, and he fired her.

But Flo's lawyer Sandy Becher claims she's delusional -- telling us, the girl was never officially hired as an employee in Flo's office ... she was an unpaid volunteer, who begged to work for him as a first step in the music biz.

According to the lawyer, she was unqualified for an official position, so Flo took her under his wing as an intern-type worker -- occasionally paying for her lunches or gas money, but nothing was ever guaranteed.

What's more -- Flo's lawyer says the rapper didn't fire Miller because she asked for money ... he fired her because her "behavior was inappropriate for the workplace environment." He wouldn't specify why.

Flo tells us, "This is ridiculous that I gave someone an opportunity out of the goodness of my heart and now sadly I am being falsely targeted."

Amar'e Stoudemire Skipping Three More Games to Grieve Brother's Death

0207_Amare_Stoudemire_tmz_EX
Amar'e Stoudemire
will be missing the next three Knicks games to spend time grieving with his family after his brother was killed in a car accident Monday morning -- TMZ has learned.

Amar'e -- who has already missed one game over the tragedy -- tells us, "I am going to take a few days to be with my family and grieve the loss of my big brother, Hazell Stoudemire."

He adds, "I am humbled by all of the thoughts and prayers I have received."

Sources close to the basketball star tell us, the bereavement leave will cost the Knicks three additional games without their star forward.

We're told Amar'e is expected to return when the Knicks face off against the Raptors on February 14th -- all depending on how he feels.

It's a crushing blow to the team -- especially after Carmelo Anthony strained his groin last night against the Jazz -- but with former benchwarmer Jeremy Lin shocking the world with massive scoring runs ... it might not be so bad.

'Final Destination 3' Star Booze Class Express

Ryan Merriman
"Final Destination 3" star Ryan Merriman has just been sentenced to a fate worse than jail in his DUI case -- alcohol education classes.

TMZ broke the story ... Merriman was charged with two counts of DUI last month after his boozy November arrest in Newport Beach. The actor pled no contest today to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or more, and the remaining DUI count was dismissed.

Showing no mercy, the judge sentenced Merriman to an accelerated alcohol program -- and 3 years informal, unsupervised probation.
 
Merriman also has to pay $390 plus fees. THE HORROR.

Crotchety Old Man Calls Cops on Biebettes 'I WANT THEM ARRESTED!'

1_5e0rguwh_1_kb816iwg
A sad old man in Miami just couldn't take a heavy dose of Bieber fever last night -- demanding police arrest an adorable young group of Bieber fans for disturbing the peace outside his business -- and shocker ... the cops told him to pound sand.

The old man's the owner of a Miami recording studio called the Hit Factory -- and the girls were camped outside creating a ruckus, expecting Justin to show up for a recording session ... as he did earlier that week, during the infamous shirtless skateboarding bonanza.

But last night, the owner was afraid of another crazy Bieber-obsessed mob ... and in a hilarious overreaction, he called the cops and demanded all the young girls be arrested ... claiming they had already caused $10,000 in damage earlier in the week.

The girls pled their case, trying to explain why it was absolutely imperative they be allowed to stay -- as one explained, "[Justin is] amazing! He's everything!" Another added, "I touched his hand! He smells like cotton candy!!!" All good points.

The cop acquiesced -- instructing the girls to keep out of the street and stay quiet.

Promising to be good, another girl replied, "We're not gonna scream. We're gonna scream low."

Kim Kardashian Divorce Turns Ugly Reality TV On Trial

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
The Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries divorce has become a bitter fight, and we've learned Kris' lawyer intends to put reality TV on trial ... but that could blow up in his face.

Sources tell us ... Kris and his lawyer, Lee Hutton, want to "expose the M.O. of reality TV" by proving Kim had no intention of staying married to him, but just wanted big ratings for her reality show.

Now here's the irony. The duo wants to prove their point by asking the judge to allow TMZ and TV stations to broadcast the trial -- something that the judge might find a tad hypocritical ... not that we're complaining.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim filed for divorce on grounds of "irreconcilable differences." Kris has countered that he wants the marriage annulled based on fraud.

Kris has a couple of problems with the fraud claim. First of all, he's the one who proposed. Second, the publicity has made him famous and marketable and he'll make millions more than he would have otherwise.

And another big point in Kim's favor ... We've learned the prenup is extremely long and complicated ... accounting for what would happen years into the future. Why would she go through the time and trouble of having a long prenup if she planned on pulling the plug on the marriage within a few months?
