Taxi? Limo? Sedan? Nope -- Tiger Woods' alleged mistress took the Gloria Allred Express from LAX this afternoon.
Rachel Uchitel landed in Los Angeles and got bombarded with questions from paps. We got the silent treatment from her again -- but then Gloria swooped in to save the day ... with a hug.
Gloria kept her comments brief, saying, "At some point we'll decided what the next step should be."
Allred also said she won't be holding one of her famous press conferences in the coming days. We'll see about that.

Mike Tyson's run-in with a photog at LAX earlier this month may have unearthed a lapse in security at one of the biggest airports in the world.
Sources tell TMZ Tyson's fight with the pap was not recorded by any camera other the one the photog had -- not a security camera, nothing. You'd think at an airport as highly-trafficked as LAX you couldn't go anywhere without being caught on video -- with the exception of the bathroom, of course.
The City Attorney has not yet decided what charges, if any, will be filed against either Tyson, the photog, or both.

Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, was rushed to a hospital at LAX this afternoon after his plane landed at LAX. And we're told Britney didn't think it was serious enough for her hubby to go to the hospital, but the fire department disagreed.
The flight from Puerto Rico landed in Los Angeles at 2:40 PM today. We're told Monjack was incoherent when EMTs boarded the plane.
Murphy told the responding fire dept. personnel she thought it was an asthma attack, but the EMTs felt it could be more serious than that.
We don't know his condition.
We've left a message for Brittany's rep, but have not heard back.

TMZ has learned an ambulance was called to the home of David Hasselhoff on Friday -- and this video might give us a glimpse as to why.
The Hoff -- who has been battling problems with alcohol for years -- arrived at LAX on Wednesday looking ... well, like he enjoyed the flight. His driver got into it with the freelance photog who took the video -- but The Hoff just kept grinning and saying, "It's all good."
Just two days later, an ambulance was called to his home and someone -- local fire department wouldn't confirm who -- was transported to the hospital. Coincidence?
We reached out to David's people -- never heard back.

His big claim to fame is jumping out of a trunk naked -- and his parents couldn't be more proud!
We got a clothed Ken Jeong waiting to pick up his parental units Saturday at LAX -- very cool by the way -- where he said his mom and pops had actually seen "The Hangover" in all its glory ... and were watching it again on the flight.
FYI -- According to Ken, the plane version ... not as genital heavy.

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made last week after Mike Tyson got into a bloody altercation with a paparazzo at LAX.
The woman who placed the call says she "has a man bleeding from the face. I think it's Mike Tyson ... the person he assaulted."
As we previously reported, both Tyson and the photographer performed citizen's arrests on each other and were booked for misdemeanor battery.

The photographer who ended up on the wrong end of Mike Tyson's fist says Mike got in 4 good punches and blood was gushing "like a water fountain."
Pap Tony Echevarria claims:
- He wasn't disrespectful or aggressive
- Mike was initially in a good mood but turned sour when the pap asked about his wife
- Tyson became more agitated when he couldn't find a bathroom and saw the photog shooting him
As we previously reported, Tyson and the photographer were both busted for battery.

This is what it looks like when Mike Tyson punches you in the face.
Paparazzo Tony Echevarria got into it with Tyson yesterday afternoon at LAX. Both men were arrested. Tyson was taken to the police station ... Echevarria went to the hospital.
Tyson's lawyer, David Chesnoff, claims the photog was harassing Tyson, his wife and kid. Chesnoff claims some photogs followed the ex-champ into the bathroom, though he didn't say if Echevarria was one of them.
The photog got 5 stitches.
Pretty ironic -- his t-shirt says, "Live Long."

UPDATE 8:33 PM PT: Cops tell TMZ Tyson was released on his own recognizance.
UPDATE 8:13 PM PT: Tyson has been booked for misdemeanor battery and his bail has been set at $20,000. The photog was also booked on misdemeanor battery -- Tyson claims the photog got so close he actually made contact with the boxer.
TMZ has learned Mike Tyson has been arrested at LAX airport for battery after a bloody confrontation with a paparazzo outside the United terminal. We're told Tyson punched the pap in the face and there is blood everywhere.
We're told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The photographer got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood. An LAPD spokesperson said the photographer suffered a minor laceration to the forehead.
Someone at the scene tells TMZ ... the photographer got very close to Tyson before the boxer struck him. Our source says there's blood on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car. We're told an ambulance was dispatched at 4:39 PM to LAX and the paparazzo was transported to a local hospital.
Cops say Tyson and the photographer performed citizen's arrests on each other -- both are expected to be booked for misdemeanor battery. Cops also said witnesses backed both stories ... so that could get interesting.
If Tyson is prosecuted, given that he's a former boxing champ, the charge could end up being assault with a deadly weapon.
Tyson's rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old daughter when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi -- adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.
Story developing...

Kanye West got swift justice this AM -- thanks in part to TMZ -- and the judge in his LAX vandalism case said he'll dismiss all 3 misdemeanors against him after Kanye gets a dose of community service.
West's lawyer, Blair Berk, delivered a blistering attack on the paparazzi, scolding them for inciting celebs, going to churches for intrusive shots ... pretty much claiming they're responsible for all the wars in the world.
Berk says both Kanye and co-defendant Don Crowley (Kanye's manager) are "remorseful" for their conduct and have submitted to anger management counseling -- this, after breaking two cameras in a fit of anger at the airport.
Berk says this matter was "wildly overcharged" as a battery and vandalism case.
Deputy L.A. City Attorney Felton Newell disputed the notion the case was overcharged, claiming the defendants acted with "reckless disregard," adding the video shows "an intent to commit a felony."
Berk appeared without her client and noted that TMZ had settled its beef with Kanye because West paid for the camera he broke at LAX on Sept. 11, 2008. The judge agreed -- saying if TMZ didn't want to press charges, it didn't make a lot of sense to carry on with the case.
And speaking of Sept. 11th...the two lawyers got into a fight over whether the prosecutor was exploiting the date by saying it elevated the seriousness of the offense -- i.e., going nuts at a major airport.
In the end, the judge felt since the defendants enrolled in an anger management program, he said he'll dismiss the charges when they both serve 50 hours of community service. But he added Kanye's conduct was not acceptable.

Kanye West is feeling the legal heat over his VMA rant ... because there was a quiet, clever move last week to keep his criminal case out of court until all the hubbub dies down.
Kanye is being prosecuted for breaking a paparazzi camera at LAX on September 11, 2008. The L.A. City Attorney has charged him with 3 misdemeanors -- vandalism, theft and battery.
We've learned last Friday, Kanye's lawyer, Blair Berk, went to the judge and won a delay -- a pre-trial hearing was set for this month but it's now pushed back until October 23 -- hopefully for Kanye, when attention deficit disorder sets in and the public moves on to another celebrity meltdown.
Here's the problem ... even the mighty Blair Berk can't stop Kanye. The question: Can she contain him?
Stay tuned...

With all the coyote/football/general drama in her life, there's still one thing that can make Jessica Simpson crack a smile -- her hair.
Jessica's friends are reportedly worried she's at her "lowest point" after her innocent maltipoo was snatched by a vicious coyote -- but yesterday at LAX, Jess and her BFF/stylist Ken Paves were ready and willing to laugh about her locks.
As for that evil coyote -- that bastard is still out there ... lurking ... waiting ...

Looking like twins in matching shades, black and white tops and jeans, Dennis Quaid and wife Kimberly arrived at LAX with their ridiculously cute 22-month-old twins yesterday.
In June, the Quaids settled a lawsuit with Cedars-Sinai after the hospital accidentally overdosed and almost killed little Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone on the blood thinning drug Heparin.
