Justin Bieber L.A. Councilman Says Arrest His Ass!
Justin Bieber just got cited for speeding on the freeway, and the witness who called 911 -- who happens to be an L.A. City Councilman -- tells TMZ, Bieber should have been cuffed, locked up, and stripped of his driving privileges.
L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine -- who ironically was an LAPD motor officer for 18 years -- was on the 101 Freeway when he saw Justin in his chrome Fisker Karma roaring down the freeway at speeds that Zine says exceeded 100 mph.
Zine tells us ... Bieber was trying to shake a team of paparazzi (NOT TMZ) that was on his tail.
Zine says, "Bieber was driving like a maniac. He was weaving in and out of traffic. There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane."
Zine says, "If I was on patrol, I would have arrested him for reckless driving. I was going 60 and he drove by me like he was in a rocket ship. He was a maniac." Zine called in to "TMZ Live" moments ago to explain exactly why he thinks Bieber belongs behind bars.
Zine also says the paparazzi were incredibly irresponsible, driving on the shoulder of the freeway and causing an extreme hazard. After he was pulled over, at least 4 paps were swarming Bieb's car.
Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, tells TMZ, Zine "is just a councilman looking for a headline." Braun says Justin was cited for going 80 mph and he was being chased by the paparazzi. Braun adds a short time after getting ticketed, the paparazzi resumed their pursuit and Justin called 911.
Law enforcement sources tell us, after Bieber called 911, police caught up to his car and pulled him over again ... along with the paparazzi following him. We're told the cops warned the paparazzi to behave themselves, and everyone was sent on their way.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... the CHP is investigating the paparazzi for creating a hazardous situation.

One Direction Singer Ferrari Was a RENTAL
Lance Bass can save his financial advice for someone else -- because One Direction singer Harry Styles claims he didn't drop $200,000 on a brand new Ferrari ... he just rented it for a day.
TMZ posted the photo this morning -- showing 18-year-old Styles rolling around Hollywood in a brand new Ferrari California this weekend.
Former 'N Sync singer Lance Bass had some words for him too -- telling us last night, a Ferrari is a TERRIBLE investment at this stage in Styles' career. Lance said Styles should be focusing on saving his money, not throwing it away on cars.
But Lance wasted his breath -- because a rep for Styles tells us, the young singer is a whiz with his money ... and only rented the Ferrari for a few hours ... as a rare treat.
We're told the Ferrari cost Styles a few hundos at most ... which he can probably afford.

Axed 'Basketball Wives' Star Bentley Facing Repo Hammer
Salt on the wound for fired "Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams -- TMZ has learned her expensive Bentley is on the verge of being repossessed ... by force of law.

TMZ broke the story ... Williams filed for divorce from her husband Eric in July 2011.

'Grimm' Stars Commit Cardinal Sin in Naked Bike Ride
Fun Fact -- 2 studs from the show "Grimm" did a naked bike ride this weekend!
Not Fun Fact -- THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET NAKED!!!
It all went down in Portland, OR on Saturday night ... when David Giuntoli and Sasha Roiz joined roughly 10,000 riders for the World Naked Bike Ride ... a jiggly protest against the oil consuming "car culture."
But when it came to dropping trou, David and Sasha totally wussed out -- instead of going bare-ass with their fellow bikers, the two actors only ditched their tops. Laaaaaaaame.
After the race, Giuntoli went to Twitter, where he blamed his prudish ways on "the trapping of celebrity" -- explaining, "We wore pants and shorts respectively. #keptourjobs"
So, the lesson here ...
D-list women get naked = career booster.
D-list men get naked = career suicide.

So we're told Kim wanted to give him a taste of his gift -- so she took a video of the car to show him ... and we're told she's screening the video in person tonight on the Emerald Isle.
