Cloris Leachman loves valet parking at Nobu in Malibu. The only problem is Nobu doesn't have valet parking.
Leachman left her car -- with the keys in the ignition -- in the middle of the parking lot and it took our photog going inside the restaurant for someone to come out and move it.
Between this episode and her
driving on the pedestrian-only area of an L.A. shopping center back in March, it might be time for Leachman to look into a driver.
82-year-old
Cloris Leachman went off-roading last night all over the foot traffic and trolley-only "streets" of The Grove shopping plaza!
She says she couldn't find parking. Next time, try the big building with the giant "Parking" sign.
Cloris Leachman must have made quite an impact on Jeffrey Ross during "DWTS" -- and yesterday outside Fred Segal, he made it very clear she's a big fan of the horizontal mambo.
Cloris Leachman had to be carried out of Blvd 3 last night -- but this is the one time we
don't think drinking was a factor.
For "Dancing with the Stars," heart trouble makes for a better handicap than old age.
82-year-old Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman was originally courted by "DWTS" honchos, we've learned, because they needed someone for the "disability" slot -- think Heather Mills (one leg) or Marlee Maltin (deaf). They figured her age would fit the bill -- until they got Toni Braxton, who has a heart condition, to sign on, as
TMZ first told you. That's when they put Cloris' dancing shoes ... six feet under.
BTW: We also hear "DWTS" peeps are over the moon that Jewel and rodeo dude Ty Murray -- who are both in the mix for next season -- just eloped in the Bahamas, because the whole boyfriend versus girlfriend storyline they wanted to exploit just got amped up to husband-wife. And we know how married couples can get.
And get this: The Lance Bass rumors? Half true.
Yes, he''s definitely on, but
no, he won't mambo with a man.
An ABC rep tells TMZ, "We don't comment on casting rumors, but the official cast will be announced on August 25th on ''Good Morning America.'"
