Adam Levine -- Bruno's Rear Ain't My Type

Maroon 5 stud Adam Levine says he wouldn't mind getting a helping of ass to the face, depending on whose derriere it was -- and judging by the hot chick who rode on his hog, we doubt he wants Bruno's.

LAPD Lets Levine Skate

Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine was pulled over for one of the lamest offenses out there: Driving around in his sweet Aston Martin with no license plates.


He had the plates in his glove compartment -- but while most would get at least a fix-it ticket, the gigolo singer was let off scot-free.

Maroon 5 and Kanye = BFFs

Kanye West made a brief, surprise appearance at last night's Maroon 5 concert at Madison Square Garden, to the delight of the packed arena.

According to a TMZ staffer's mom (yes, Maroon 5 has 60-year-old fans), frontman Adam Levine introduced his "special friend," and the Garden went ballistic when Kanye entered to perform his duet with Adam, "Heard 'Em Say."

Kanye did his one song ("I could barely recognize him because of those big glasses he wears," said TMZ mom), waved and walked off. Kanye not hogging the spotlight? That's a new one!

Later last night, Kanye got even more groove on downtown at Tenjune, where In Touch magazine held its fifth anniversary party. Everyone from Emmy Rossum to Janet Jackson to Greasy Bear to Kenan Thompson to Matthew Isaacs, whose Bloc Group ran the show, packed the room as 'Ye tore through a frenetic set that included everything from "Golddigger" to "Good Life."

Post-Xmas Partying in L.A.

A lot of Los Angeles celebs have left town for the holidays, but a few stars are still partying it up in Tinseltown.

At exclusive hotspot Hyde, it was Brody all the way ... as we spotted Adam Brody heading out of the club ... and later, Brody Jenner doing the same.

Maroon 5 was also well represented -- our cameras caught bass player Mickey Madden and guitarist James Valentine. Sorry ladies, no Adam Levine in sight.

We caught up with TMZ fan Dane Cook outside the Laugh Factory for the third time in a week. Dane took time to pose for pics with fans -- right in front of a giant Dane Cook poster. Surreal, man.

Walk of Fame or Walk of Shame?

graphic of a question markHow do these stars earn a star on the Walk of Fame when they've only been around for a mere 15 minutes?

Britney Spears on the Walk of FameIt's true, Trina -- more and more young stars seem to be getting their names embossed in Hollywood's Walk of Fame. (24-year-old Britney Spears already has one!) But here's what we can tell you about the growing trend: at least $15,000 is what it costs to achieve posterity on the infamous Hollywood walk, maintained by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. And that nice chunk of money can come from the star, or more likely, a sponsor (i.e., record company or movie studio). The Walk of Fame Committee then determines if that name is to be forever etched into history!

And speaking of the pop princess, take a look at Britney and her stardom at a Halloween party earlier this week!

Jessica Simpson's Beat Up Beemer

TMZ's cameras were all over the place this weekend, running into a ton of celebs as they hit the streets of Hollywood.

We caught up with Miss Jessica Simpson as she exited out the back door of Hollywood hotspot Hyde. The blonde stunner created her usual chaotic scene, setting the paparazzi off into a flash bulb frenzy. Jessica, who was sitting in the driver seat, seems to have had a some car issues. Check out the serious dent on the side of her BMW and the rear view mirror, held together by tape.

Also out over the weekend funnyman Cheech Marin, Maroon 5, Oscar winner Three 6 Mafia, the talented Rosario Dawson, comedian Dane Cook, TMZ's favorite Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria (who showed up with Mario Lopez), Greasy Bear himself Brandon Davis and Jesse Metcalf, who was seen leaving dinner with a lady friend.

All this and much more in the weekend version of Star Catcher.

Maroon Five's Cookie Run

Hollywood was rockin' with stars monday night...and TMZ's camera was rollin' the whole time.

We caught up first with Maroon Five's lead singer Adam Levine at Hyde, where the singer quickly dashed from the club to the deli next door ... only to emerge with a bag full of cookies. Turns out that Adam was designated "dessert guy" for his friends' birthday party in the club.

Party queen Lindsay Lohan also made the late night rounds Monday, along with her new boy toy Harry Morton, though TMZ spotted the pair leaving Hyde separately. While Harry was busy making a spectacle out front with his souped-up Jeep, Lindsay quietly snuck out the back door. What a gentleman!

Also stopping by was Good Charlotte's tattooed guitarist Benji Madden ... check out the bling!

Battle of the Celebrity NYE Parties

While millions of people watch New Year's Eve celebrations on TV, an intriguing competition will be going on behind the scenes, as many celebrities battle it out to have the hottest New Year's Eve party of the year.


In the ring: Sister against sister, and ex-lovers against ex-lovers. Even D-List reality stars have jumped into the fray, as many of them host their own New Year's Eve parties. Who will win? TMZ sizes up the competition and predicts who will emerge the winner.


mariah careyMariah Carey vs. Maroon 5's Adam Levine, New York

New York City has the world famous Times Square ball drop, and now the Big Apple hosts a showdown between two music stars with competing par-tays. Carey will throw a bash at Cipriani in midtown Manhattan, with ticket prices starting at $200. The party will be hosted by the ubiquitous Ryan Seacrest; he and Carey will presumably head to the event after they appear on ABC's New Year's Eve telecast. (Cipriani says that Carey and Seacrest will show up at the blowout around 3 AM) Meanwhile, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, who will be on MTV's New Year's Eve show, will host his own party at the luxurious Skylight Studios in the Village, complete with outdoor swimming pool, with a minimum $150 admission price.

TMZ's winner pick: No contest. Carey's party will be the biggest celebrity magnet in the Big Apple.

Paris vs. Nicky, Las Vegas

The notorious Hilton sisters usually throw parties together. But this year, Paris and Nicky will both host competing New Year's Eve bashes in Las Vegas: Paris at Tao in the Venetian Hotel, while younger sis Nicky, along with her boyfriend, 'Entourage' star Kevin Connolly, will hold court at Pure at Caesars Palace in a winter wonderland-themed event. Both parties will feature views of fireworks displays and the hosts doing the midnight countdown.

But there are some major differences. Nicky's party is a black-tie event with a ticket price of $499. Paris' party is more accessible (at a ticket price of $200) and doesn't require formal wear. At the stroke-of-midnight, Nicky and her beau will open a bottle of Cristal champagne worth a reported $100,000. At midnight during Paris' party, 2006 pink balloons will drop and a snow machine will turn the place into a winter wonderland.

TMZ's winner pick: Paris is the bigger celebrity, so it's a no-brainer that her party will likely have more star power. Paris is also more likely to take off some of her clothes and do something wild at the party, which would also motivate people to be there. The bottom line: Paris' party sounds like a lot more fun.

Lindsay vs. Wilmer, Miami

Lindsay Lohan and Wilmer Valderrama's breakup is rumored to have caused hard feelings between the two, especially since Valderrama went on to date Lohan's friend, Ashlee Simpson. Now the two former lovebirds will be competing in a Miami showdown of New Year's Eve parties.

Lohan's bash at the indoor/outdoor club Prive/Opium will feature several DJs (including Samantha Ronson and DJ Irie), and will have a minimum admission price of $150 to $200 per person. Valderrama's party at Mansion will have DJ AM (aka, Nicole Richie's ex) and a live performance from trendy rock band the Bravery. The cost of admission to Valderrama's bash starts at $225.

TMZ's winner pick: Although Valderrama's party will have better music, Lohan's event will draw the cooler crowd. We're betting that a lot more of the beautiful people would rather see Lohan up close than Valderrama, and Prive is a much nicer space.

Pamela vs. Kid Rock

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock were once engaged, and they've definitely gone their separate ways when it comes to what they're doing this New Year's Eve. Anderson will be in Los Angeles to host a party dubbed "Gridlock" on the Paramount Studios back lot. The Pussycat Dolls will perform, and the minimum admission price is $125. Kid Rock will DJ at the new Vegas nightclub Jet in the Mirage Hotel, with admission prices starting at $200.

TMZ's winner pick: Anderson's party will draw a hotter crowd since Kid Rock's party will have so much more competition in Vegas. Having a party on a movie-studio back lot is much more unique than just another hotel. And a lot of partygoers may not admit it, but a big appeal of Anderson's party is to see what she's wearing...or not wearing.

Reality Stars vs. Reality Stars

For anyone who wants to party with reality stars of dubious fame, there's no shortage of New Year's Eve choices. In New York City, Brittny Gastineau of 'Gastineau Girls' will host a bash at Nest, with tickets going for a minimum $50. Also in the Big Apple, Wes Bergmann and Johanna Botta of 'The Real World: Austin' will host a party at the sci-fi-themed restaurant Mars 2112; ticket prices start at $145. And from the first season of 'The Real World: New York,' Eric Nies will preside over a bash at Sequoia, with the cost of admission starting at $125.

Meanwhile, in Miami, a minimum $60 ticket price will get someone into a party at Crobar hosted by 'America's Next Top Model' first-season winner Adrianne Curry and her fiancé, Christopher Knight, who both starred in their own reality show, 'My Fair Brady.'

TMZ's winner pick: None. Why party with reality stars when these cities will be packed with bigger celebrities at relatively accessible bashes?
