Bieber Vs. Keyshawn INTENSE SHOWDOWN At Singer's Mansion
Keyshawn Johnson chased down a speeding Justin Bieber this weekend -- and tried to confront the singer about his dangerous driving habits -- but JB ran away like a scared little child ... eyewitnesses tell TMZ.
Sources tell us ... Keyshawn -- a former NFL superstar -- had just left a party Monday night inside of his exclusive gated community in Calabasas (with his child in the car), when Bieber zoomed by in his Ferrari at breakneck speeds.
We're told Keyshawn was furious -- feeling Justin could've killed someone -- so he brought his kid home, then chased after the singer in his Prius (yes, a Prius chasing a Ferrari).
When KJ got to Bieber's pad -- he blocked Justin's Ferrari in the driveway and got out of his car to confront Justin face-to-face ... but Justin ran inside of his house and refused to come out.
FYI -- Keyshawn is 6'4", 212 lbs ... Justin's about 5'7", 110 lbs (soaking wet).
As we previously reported, at least 2 people called the police on Justin that night -- and cops responded to the singer's home.
There's more ... sources say SEVERAL people witnessed the speeding incident -- and say Justin was definitely in the driver's seat. We're told the witnesses told Sheriff's deputies ... Bieber appeared stoned at the time.
We're still waiting to hear from Bieber's camp.
10:15AM PDT Now an NFL Hall of Famer is weighing in ... Eric Dickerson, who also lives in Calabasas, just tweeted ... "Justin Bieber needs to slow his ass down."
I live in Calabasas too and @justinbieber needs to slow his ass down.
@EricDickerson
If nothing else ... Bieber makes BIG enemies.

Justin Bieber Under Investigation For Reckless Driving
Justin Bieber is under police investigation for ANOTHER reckless driving incident -- allegedly driving his Ferrari at breakneck speeds in his gated community.
The incident occurred at around 8 PM Monday night. L.A. County Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore tells TMZ ... cops received 2 separate calls in different locations in the Calabasas community. Sources say one of the callers was Keyshawn Johnson.
Whitmore says the callers reported Bieber was driving at a "startling high rate of speed." At least one child was playing in the area where Bieber was allegedly driving.
We're told cops responded but Bieber refused to speak with them.
Bieber has had a history of alleged reckless driving. You'll recall prosecutors are currently reviewing a case where Bieber allegedly drove recklessly and then spit on a neighbor who confronted him. The neighbor says Bieber also threatened to kill him.
As for Sunday's case ... Whitmore says the case will be presented to the L.A. County District Attorney.
We spoke with Bieber's rep -- so far, no comment.

Game was leaving Lure nightclub last week, when a major fight broke out, creating mayhem in the streets. It's unclear why, but during the melee Game took his shirt off and looked like he was ready to beat someone's ass ... so much so, his entourage had to restrain him.
So when we saw Game (fully clothed) at LAX this morning, we just had to get to the bottom of it. As usual, Game was very forthcoming with his response.

Paris and River also went off on a security guard who tried to get handsy with Paris.
Don't worry, the couple eventually made it to the party ... and balance was restored to the universe.

Chad Johnson WANTED MAN Warrant Issued for ex-NFL Star's Arrest
There's still one team interested in former NFL star Chad Johnson ... the team tasked with BRINGING HIM INTO CUSTODY ... 'cause he's officially a wanted man.
TMZ has learned ... a warrant has been issued for Johnson's arrest in Broward County, Florida -- stemming from his domestic violence conviction involving ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last year.
The Broward County District Attorney's Office tells us ... Johnson has failed to report to his probation officer -- a violation of the terms of his probation -- and on May 7, a judge issued the warrant.
Chad also allegedly failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the "Batterers Intervention Program."
Once Johnson is taken into custody -- a hearing will be set to determine whether Johnson did in fact violate his probation. If he did, it could mean jail time.
Johnson is currently in Pasadena, CA -- according to his Twitter page. We reached out to Chad's lawyer -- so far, no response.

Christian Chavez Accused of Attempted Murder By Ex-Boyfriend
Christian Chavez -- Mexican soap actor turned international pop star -- tried to MURDER his ex-boyfriend with a knife ... this according to court docs filed by the ex-BF and obtained by TMZ.
We broke the story ... Chavez and Ben Stewart-Kruger were both arrested back in April following a domestic dispute at their Bev Hills pad.
After the incident, Ben obtained a temporary restraining order against Chavez -- after filing documents with the court in which he explained:
"[Christian] attacked me, broke down bathroom door, armed with knife, attempted murder."
In the docs, Ben explained, "We dated, I broke up with him, he was required to move out the day before this incident."
"A verbal argument caused this issue. I was locked in the bathroom when police arrived."
Despite Ben's explosive allegations, officials have decided not to prosecute Chavez ... for now at least ... because there wasn't sufficient evidence to back Ben's story.
Still, a judge DID grant Ben's request for a temporary restraining order against Chavez -- requiring him to stay at least 100 yards away.
The two sides are due back in court on May 23.

Kim Kardashian I'm Glad Kanye Went After that Photog
Kim Kardashian is turning into a real bad ass ... she's telling friends she thinks Kanye West was spot on when he lunged and swore at a paparazzo in Bev Hills.
Kim -- who is always impervious to the gaggle of photogs who chronicle her every move -- thinks Kanye was justified when he bolted out of a restaurant and went all Incredible Hulk on an unsuspecting camera guy.
As you know ... Kanye had a close encounter with a metal sign as he walked to 9021PHO, slamming his forehead UFC style with a souvenir that will probably last for a week.
Kim is telling friends ... the paparazzi have become increasingly aggressive with both of them since she became pregnant. She's especially upset because on Monday a photog chased her down while she was driving and she had to swerve into another lane to avoid him and almost got into a bad accident.
Bottom line ... Kim is encouraging Kanye to take care of business when a photog crosses the line. The problem with her theory -- in the case of the sign, the photogs held their distance and Kanye just didn't look where he was going.
The truth hurts.

Farrah Abraham Gets Into a Fight at LAX With Bag Check Lady
Farrah Abraham got into a heated exchange with an airport employee today ... which she claims only ended after airport cops showed up ... and get this, it was all over an over-sized duffel bag.
The "Teen Mom" tells TMZ ... she showed up to LAX hours ago with an extra large carry-on bag -- but was informed by American Airlines personnel she couldn't go through security until she checked the bag.
Farrah says she agreed, but says the woman was rude to her regardless, and the two began arguing. That's when Farrah says she told the lady she was acting like "trash" and asked to speak to her supervisor ... but claims the lady called airport police instead.
Farrah says she explained the situation to cops, but they weren't having it and told her to be more respectful. Cooler heads eventually prevailed and Farrah proceeded to make her flight.
The newly-minted porn star tweeted angrily afterwards, "I thought American Airlines was good apparently they need better customer service, never flying with them again:) #CallThePolice."
For what it's worth ...TSA had no record of the incident. We also called American Airlines, but so far no word back.
But here's how it may have looked:

Kanye West MELTDOWN Goes Berserk on Pap After Smashing Head on Sign
So much for a cooler, calmer Kanye ...
West just emerged from a restaurant in L.A. and exploded on a photog -- not a TMZ guy -- screaming at the cameraman to stop taking photos, ASAP.
Minutes before the incident, Kanye had banged his head into a metal sign while trying to hide his face from a pack of paparazzi ... and blamed it on the snappers.
West restrained himself from going after the paps in the moments after the head-slamming, only to emerge from the eatery minutes later ... even angrier than he was before.
The pap told West he had just arrived on the scene -- and meant no harm.
West eventually turned around and went back into the restaurant. It's unclear if Kanye ever laid a hand on the photog.
Inhale, exhale ...

Pro Skaters MASSIVE SKATE PARK BRAWL 'He's Got a Knife!'
Don't mess with pro skateboarders -- just check out this insane video shot in Illinois this weekend, showing pro boarders Don Nguyen and Justin Figueroa unleashing fists of fury on a bunch of locals ... and someone even pulls out a KNIFE.
The fight went down Saturday at Asylum Skatepark in Lake Bluff -- the owner tells TMZ, Don "The Nuge" Nguyen and Justin "Figgy" Figueroa stopped by for a demo as part of Thrasher's Skate Rock Tour.
According to the owner, Nuge's team ruffled some locals' feathers when they requested the house DJ make room for his music instead ... and a massive brawl broke out.
After several punches were thrown, someone yelled out, "He's got a knife!"
Turns out the knife belonged to a local involved in the brawl -- and he tells TMZ, he took out the blade to help stop the fight ... but quickly put it away when he realized it would only make a bad situation worse.
The irony ... we're told locals involved in the fight are all big Nuge fans ... and still are ... their tempers just got the better of them.

Rapper R. Prophet Pleads NOT GUILTY In Bloody Arrest
Ex-Nappy Roots rapper R. Prophet pled NOT GUILTY to all charges from his arrest last month ... the one where he says cops handcuffed him, tased him and beat him bloody.
Prophet previously told TMZ his arrest was "definitely racial profiling" ... he was riding in a car in Kentucky on April 20 when the driver was arrested for DUI. Prophet claims things got ugly when police asked him to step out -- and then started beating him for no reason.
Kentucky State Police saw it differently ... claiming they had to tase him multiple times for resisting arrest, and kicking the back window of a cop car.
Prophet pled not guilty to charges of public intoxication, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, menacing, 3rd degree assault and criminal mischief. He's due back in court July 5.
Cops also said they thought the rapper was delusional during the arrest ... proclaiming himself a "prophet" -- but he says he was just screaming his name, "I'm R. Prophet!!!"
Kinda like Reese. But beyond.

Trey Songz Walkz ... After Alleged Strip Club Money Attack
Trey Songz is officially off the hook in his strip club assault case ... after prosecutors decided they couldn't prove the rapper smacked a woman in the face WITH CASH during an album release party last August ... TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... Songz was arrested for assault in NY after a woman at Club Perfection told cops Trey threw a "sum of United States currency" at her face, "causing substantial pain to her left eye."
It's unclear if the woman was a stripper ... or just one of those sexy waitresses that don't get naked (so disappointing, right?).
Officials investigated the incident ... and ultimately determined they couldn't prove he did anything illegal, so Trey is in the clear.
But the Queens D.A.'s office tells TMZ ... even if Trey did throw cash, "There would be no clear case of misconduct. There was just no high level of recklessness."
So, what's the lesson here? If you're gonna make it rain ... be gentle.
