Barron Hilton -- On the Road Again
A likely sober Barron Hilton is back behind the wheel -- and he wasted no time getting his sick new $60,000 ride on the road.
As TMZ previously reported, Paris' younger bro was given a 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe by his dad as a reward for getting his license back after his 2008 DUI bust -- and it was delivered Wednesday afternoon.
Within an hour of the car's delivery, Barron was already seen driving it -- with Rick riding shotty.
Best DUI gift EVER.

Barron Hilton -- The Ultimate DUI Reward
Barron Hilton has shown he's not to be trusted behind the wheel of a car -- but that didn't stop his dad from buying him a $60,000 ride as a reward for getting his license back after a DUI bust in 2008.
Hilton got his driver's license back Tuesday ... it was yanked after he pled no contest in 2008 to DUI in Malibu, where he allegedly hit a gas station employee with his car.
The 20-year-old went to the DMV and had to re-take his road test. We're told he was sober and he passed. His reward from pops -- a black 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe.
It may seem like Barron is spoiled, until you realize ... his 15-year-old brother Conrad gets to drive dad's $200,000 Bentley. It's all relative.

'Terminator' Actor Free to Save the World
Thomas Dekker -- who played John Connor in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" -- just got a deal he couldn't refuse in his DUI case.
Dekker just pled no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving in connection with an accident in which a 17-year-old bicyclist was injured. Dekker was arrested on two counts of felony DUI and placed on $100,000 bail. He was eventually charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI.
But apparently the case fell apart when prosecutors learned the bicyclist was at fault -- riding without reflectors the wrong way on a freeway on-ramp.
Dekker was placed on two years informal probation and agreed to take a 12-hour alcohol ed class and pay a $300 fine.
Dekker's lawyer, Blair Berk, could not be reached for comment.

Boozy Dennis Rodman Booted from Restaurant
On the same day as the premiere of the new season of "Celebrity Rehab," Dennis Rodman was drinking vodka in an O.C. restaurant ... and eventually had to be escorted out by police.
It all went down Thursday -- law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Rodman was drinking at a restaurant called Waterfalls inside the Atrium Hotel. We're told cops were called after several patrons complained about Rodman's behavior.
Sources at the restaurant tell TMZ Rodman had at least one vodka drink before cops were called.
When police arrived, Rodman was cooperative with the officers and eventually agreed to leave without further incident.
The new season of "Celebrity Rehab" -- of which Rodman is a part -- premiered Thursday night. Talk about a spoiler...

Ex-NBA Star Slams Into Tree, Arrested for DWI
Former NBA star Jayson Williams was arrested on suspicion of DWI early this morning -- after his SUV struck a tree in Manhattan around 3:15 AM.

Bow Wow Drives a Lil Drunk
Bow Wow clearly has something in common with Chris Brown -- they both commit crimes behind the wheel.
The Artist Formerly Known as Lil' Bow Wow, who partied with Brown and Akon last night at LIV nightclub at the Fontainebleau in Miami, posted a message to his Twitter page just past midnight that read, "Face numb im whippin the lambo. Tispy as f*k. Just left @livmiami."
A few minutes later, Mr. Wow wrote, "Im f**ked up!!! Ohhhh damn. Y i drive the lambo. Chris might have to drive after next spot."
BTW, the tweet isn't enough for cops to make an arrest.
UPDATE -- Bow Wow has since taken down the aforementioned tweets and apologized, saying, "Apologize for that tweet. it was stupid and immature. not a way i want to kick my #2010 year off. i got too much good stuff lined up. my bad."

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made when cops clocked "Apprentice" wannabe Heidi Androl driving 35 mph on an empty California Freeway earlier this month -- and then arrested her for DUI.
The caller -- who claims to be an off-duty police officer -- tells the dispatcher he wants to report a drunk driver ... and says the person is driving around "30 miles per hour ... and nearly hitting the center divider" of the highway.
As we first reported, we're told Heidi performed "poorly" on several field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest on suspicion of DUI.

Jessica Simpson Rejected from Jail
Jessica Simpson paid a visit to the pokey early this AM, trying in vain to bail out her real, real drunk makeup artist -- allegedly.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Mary Phillips was arrested at around 1:30 this morning, after cops got a disturbing the peace call at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood.
Phillips -- who worked with Simpson on such epic films as "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Employee of the Month" -- was arrested for being drunk in public.
We're told Jessica went to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department in West Hollywood after Phillips was booked, trying to bail her friend out. But poor Jess was turned away, because deputies felt Phillips was still too drunk to be turned loose on the streets.
Phillips is still in custody.
Lindsay Lohan -- High Marks From DUI Judge
Lindsay Lohan got good marks in court today, even though she wasn't there to hear it.
Instead, Lindsay's lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, presented the judge with the goods to show her client was complying with the terms of her DUI probation.
The judge was impressed, but drew a line in the sand, telling S.C.H. Lindsay must complete her alcohol ed class by July 15, 2010.
We're sure she'll graduate magnum cum laude.

'Apprentice' Reject -- Before the DUI
She looks happy here, but we're guessing that smile was nowhere to be found hours later when "Apprentice" wannabeen Heidi Androl was busted for DUI.
Here's Heidi at Club Nokia Sunday night for an event for the L.A. Kings, the team she hosts a webcast for, before hopping into her car and getting arrested.
As we previously reported, Androl was later pulled over for driving way too slow on the freeway, where she then performed "poorly" on field sobriety tests and was taken in.
