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.
We just talked to the ambulance driver who was allegedly sideswiped by Michael Jackson's chauffeur yesterday -- and he says the ambulance wasn't the only thing banged up in the alleged hit-and-run.
Here's Jamin Mauro's side of the story: He and his partner were eating lunch in the ambulance, which was parked in an alleyway outside of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Jamin said a dark blue Escalade suddenly struck the driver's side door and ripped off the mirror.
Mauro claims his head struck the driver's side window and his partner's head and elbow were banged up as well. Jamin says they both have stiff necks and are going to the doctor today to get checked out.
After Jacko's driver allegedly hit the ambulance, Jamin says the guy quickly sped off, picked up MJ and fled the scene.
Although Jackson wasn't even in the Escalade at the time, his rep issued this statement: "He is doing fine. M.J. is okay it was not bad."
We just got photos of Courtney Stewart, the driver of the Mitsubishi Eclipse in the fatal crash which killed Nick Adenhart. Sadly, she also passed away.
Courtney, 20, a student at Cal State Fullerton was also a member of Alpha Chi Omega. We spoke to a member of her sorority, who was inconsolable.
A wild chase on the L.A. freeways that lasted for hours last night ended with the driver shooting himself -- and during much of the drama, the media believed -- falsely -- Chris Brown may have been at the wheel.
It began at around 8:00 PM. A man driving a Bentley was engaged in a slow speed chase with cops. The way the story went -- police say the man was suspected of assault with a deadly weapon on his girlfriend and was supposed to rendezvous with a woman near the freeway. Word spread it may have been Chris Brown. As usual, the media danced around it dropping hints but never said it -- though they kinda did.
In the end, the driver stopped, there was as standoff and he shot himself in the head. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
We've learned the car had a Chicago registration. The owner had the Bentley and other high-end cars, including Porsches and Jaguars. We're not reporting the name yet.
Pax Jolie, the newest addition to the rainbow Brangelina tribe, was snapped in Los Angeles while being shuttled from day care. The tot gazes at paparazzi with the same curiousness seen on faces of children at a zoo.
Pax's sister Zahara seems to enjoy the attention a little more than the rest of the family.
Dennis Rodman had 1,600 assists during his NBA career, but the one he made last might be his best.
Following a night of partying at Area nightclub in Hollywood, The Worm stopped a man who seemed like he'd been partying a little too hard. After a brief conversation, Rodman put his size 14 foot down.
"Hand me your keys ... I'm Dennis Rodman!" The seemingly inebriated man replied, "I know who you are ... I love you man." Rodman took the man's key and victoriously yelled, "It's all love baby!"
According to witnesses, Dennis had an SUV -- with a sober driver -- waiting on the street to drive everyone safely home. MADD props to Dennis for keeping a menace off the road.
