Ride Me

TMZ has obtained the first photos of Lindsay's big return to the driver's seat -- taken yesterday in Rancho Mirage, CA.

Sources close to LiLo tell us the car doesn't belong to her -- we're told she's using the BMW as a rental while the Mercedes her father gave her is being fixed up in the shop.

As we first reported, Betty Ford was reluctant to let Lindsay drive at all -- because they thought paparazzi would follow her ... creating a dangerous driving environment.

Suge was picked up at around 11:30 PM last night (2.5 hours after we posted our story). He was booked at the West Hollywood station at around 1:15 AM, issued a citation, and signed a promise to appear before being released.

The whole thing stems from a traffic stop on September 23 when Suge was cited for driving with a suspended license and running a stop sign.

Just hours before the Pistons game, LeBron was spotted leaving Miami's Lucky Strike bowling alley around 2 AM in a douche bag Orange Jeep.

'Bron spent the night hanging out with embattled boxer Floyd Mayweather.

Cameras caught Aubry outside The Grove in L.A. -- moving stuff out of his banged up ride and into a waiting Lexus that came to pick him up.

It's unclear how the accident occurred -- but judging by the way Aubry was moving around after the wreck ... it appears he wasn't injured.

UPDATE: Now there's a Halle Berry connection.

There was word that the person who picked up Aubry was Berry's assistant -- but in the footage, we never see the person in the driver's seat.

Now, there's more proof ... we've found some recent photos showing Berry -- Aubry's baby mama -- riding in the exact same Lexus that swooped up Aubry.

Charlie's people tell TMZ ... he plunked down a fortune yesterday for a Maybach that cost him north of $500,000.

When you make $2 million a week ... it really isn't that expensive.

As we first reported, the L.A. County Probation Department and officials at the Betty Ford clinic restored Lindsay's driving privileges Monday morning -- and to make it clear he trusts her, we're told MiLo donated his own set of expensive wheels to the cause.

According to sources, Michael dropped the convertible off Monday night at Lindsay's sober living facility -- and Lindsay is free to drive it as she pleases.

Guess that means she'll be picking up the groceries for Thanksgiving.

The miners and their families -- who are in L.A. for CNN's Heroes gala this weekend -- took in the local sights near Grauman's Chinese Theatre while on top of a double decker tour bus on Thursday.

Law enforcement sources tell us Bynum was burning rubber in his customized 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano on October 29 -- when cops clocked him going 110 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.

Bynum was eventually ticketed for speeding -- but dude was lucky he wasn't hauled to the slammer.

It all went down last weekend at an L.A. shopping center where Shia's cockeyed parking job ended up blocking the Porsche's driver side door. It's definitely a dangerously tight fit, but it also looks like Porsche dude could've crawled through his passenger side door and took off.

Instead, he shot video, snitched Shia out to a mall cop ... and waited 40 minutes for Shia to return and face intense questioning.

The people behind the seizure are Whitfield's former divorce lawyer, who sued the reality star -- and won -- after she stiffed them out of more than $110,000 in legal fees.

A rep for the lawyer tells TMZ they still haven't received the money -- so this weekend, they had the local sheriff's department snatch the car up as payment.

So now Sheree's short one husband ... AND one Aston Martin.

The Guns N' Roses singer is being sued over a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur -- a pretty badass ride.

According to a lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Axl leased the car through Bentley Financial Services back in 2005 -- then flaked on $73,976.42 in payments and fees.

But here's the rub ... Bentley claims when Axl returned the car (several months past the actual due date) -- the car had some serious damage including:

-- Cracked windshield
-- Two damaged tires
-- Broken glass on the left rear tail light
-- Two dented doors
-- Gouged bumper

Plus, Bentley says Axl turned in a "mismatched spare key" and a "broken remote key" -- and he was 42,397 miles over his contracted limit.

According to law enforcement sources, the "Desperate Housewives" hottie was driving on busy Hollywood Blvd when someone suddenly turned in front of her. Eva was unable to avoid the car and collided with it.

We're told both Eva and the other driver had very minor injuries -- no one went to the hospital -- and the accident is under investigation ... however the early indication is Eva won't be on the hook for the damage.

Eva's restaurant, Beso, isn't far from where the accident happened. Calls to her rep were not immediately returned.

Sean, who was also on Season 2 of "Celebrity Rehab," was pulled over for a traffic violation in the San Fernando Valley on Tuesday -- when police discovered he had an outstanding warrant for driving on a suspended license.

We're told Beverly Hills PD came to the scene and took Sean to 90210 jail, where he was booked at 4:33pm.
