Ride Me

A judge in the Justin Bieber car chase case just ruled the California paparazzi law -- which prohibits photogs from driving recklessly while trying to shoot pictures of celebs -- is unconstitutional.

The judge was hearing the case of the photog who chased Justin in July on an L.A. freeway. Witnesses say the cars were traveling at speeds approaching 100 mph.

The judge tossed out 2 of the 4 criminal counts against photog Paul Raef. The counts that were tossed were based on the new paparazzi law. The judge concluded the law was "problematic" and suppressed legitimate activities by the media.

Fresh off of getting a traffic ticket in his Ferrari, Justin Bieber was seen standing up on his $20,000 Ducati today ... buzzing down L.A.'s famous 405 Freeway.

We broke the story ... Bieber bought the bike back in April off a recommendation from his mentor Usher. At the time, JB didn't have a motorcycle license ... and we still don't know if he ever got around to getting one.

7:20 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us ... Bieber was initially pulled over for making an unsafe left turn. During the stop, we're told the officer discovered Bieber's registration was expired.

Justin Bieber's winning streak came to a screeching halt when he went joyriding in a Ferrari Tuesday night ... and got stopped by cops, TMZ has learned.

Justin was cruising through West Hollywood around 6:30PM in a sick white Ferrari when an LA County Sheriff's deputy hit the strobes and sirens.

TMZ got a couple shots of the Biebs as he was pulled over. Witnesses say JB was cooperative while deputies took a closer look at his documentation ... and, of course, the sick ride.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Bieber did get ticketed, but it's unclear what law he allegedly broke.

Bieber's coming off a hell of a weekend -- hanging with Victoria's Secret supermodels, and breaking up with Selena Gomez. Justin was NOT solo in the Ferrari ... we're told he had a guy friend riding shotgun.

Bieber blasted this pic over Instagram -- proving the side view mirror of a Ferrari can even make cop car lights look cool.

We've called Bieber's peeps ... but no word back yet.

All eyes were on the sick new BMW i8 Concept Roadster at the unveiling of the sweet new hybrid car in NYC on Monday.

Oh yeah, and Uma Thurman was there too.

Fun Fact -- JFK's granddaughter drives a Chevy Impala.

Funner Fact -- JFK's granddaughter allegedly smashed into another car with her Chevy Impala.

No So Fun Fact -- The alleged victim sued JFK's granddaughter ... along with her mother.

TMZ has learned ... Caroline Kennedy and her hot 24-year-old daughter Rose Schlossberg were named in a lawsuit by a man who claims Rose crashed into his Honda Civic on Wilshire Blvd. in L.A. back in August.

According to the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the victim claims he suffered serious physical and mental injuries as a result of Rose's "negligent" and "careless" actions behind the wheel ... and demanded more than $25,000 in damages.

Caroline was not in the car -- but was named in the lawsuit because she is the legal owner of the vehicle.

But, this isn't your average never-ending car-crash lawsuit ... the victim's lawyer tells TMZ, they've already reached a settlement with Caroline and Rose's people ... and will take action to have the case dismissed ASAP.

The lawyer, a Democrat, tells us, “Everybody, including the Kennedys, and their insurance company, were very caring, understanding, ethical, and honest.”

He adds, "They were first rate people, we're very satisfied."

Sir Paul McCartney barely escaped death when his helicopter reportedly almost crashed while trying to land in England.

It says Paul and wife Nancy Shevell (she almost died too) were being flown to their home in Sussex via helicopter back in May -- when the pilot became disoriented and came within two feet of striking a tree top -- according to the Daily Mail.

The UK's Dept. of Transportation says the pilot lost control of the 9-seater bird while trying to land in the middle of an intense rain storm, and starting plunging towards the ground.

The D.O.T report says the pilot managed to pull the chopper up literally at the last second. The pilot aborted the landing and flew the couple to a nearby airport in Kent.

The force is strong with Boba Fett -- or at least with the actor who played the "Star Wars" villain in the 2002 prequel "Attack of the Clones" ... because the guy helped save an elderly couple from a NASTY real-life car wreck ... and TMZ has a photo of the hero in action.

A rep for Daniel Logan tells TMZ ... the 25-year-old actor was driving in Orange County last week when he spotted a completely wrecked SUV sitting on the side of the road ... we're talking real bad ... like half-the-car-ripped-off bad.

We're told the Logan pulled over to help -- since no emergency vehicles were on scene yet -- and found an elderly couple trapped inside with their grandchild.

Daniel's rep says the actor started to clear the wreckage to get to the trio -- and about the time Daniel broke through, the paramedics arrived.

We're told the paramedics took over from there, and pulled the family to safety before taking them to the hospital.

"U Don't See Me" ... Young Dro said it in a rap and did it in real life ... failing to respond to a lawsuit filed against him over a Maserati and now he has to pay up.

As TMZ first reported, Dro was sued earlier this year in and Atlanta court after he defaulted on payments for his 2007 Maserati Quattroporte Sport. The leasing company behind the suit repo'd the car and claimed the rapper still owed them $61,220.37.

A default judgment was entered at the end of October in the company's favor because Dro dropped the ball and failed to respond to the suit after he was served.

The rapper was ordered to cough up the full amount plus attorney's fees. Grand total = $67,613.12.

TODAY'S YOUR LUCKY DAY BITCHES -- because with enough money ... and bad taste ... you could own this mind-bogglingly hideous Hulk-themed car, repossessed by the Feds during a 500-pound weed bust this year.

The '89 Chevy Caprice was repo'd in March during an investigation against a suspected Ohio drug dealer named Thomas King -- and it's currently being auctioned off online by the U.S. Marshals Service.

The current bid is $49,900.

According to the listing, the car features a Corvette engine, 30" custom-painted wheels, custom A/V system with 12 amps and 4 15" subwoofers, 4 TVs, and an iPad for controls.

It also features hydraulic hood and trunk operation and electric exhaust cut-outs (whatever they are). The auction ends Monday.

FYI -- the Feds didn't just repo the Hulk machine during the bust ... they also snagged 500 POUNDS of weed, a loaded assault rifle, and a bunch of other less-awful cars. The combined value of the vehicles was estimated at $500,000.

Bobbi Kristina treated her boyfriend to a late-night bangin' session this week ... when she plowed her Camaro into his Camaro ... and TMZ has a photo of the wreckage.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... it all went down inside the parking garage at the couple's apartment complex in Georgia on Monday night.

We're told Bobbi had followed Nick Gordon's car back to their place from another location ... and moments after he parked his car, she tried to back in to the next spot over ... and screwed up ... smashing the front of Nick's brand new car in the process.

Cee Lo Green is stickin' with sexy black hot rods -- a classic convertible and looking cool as a cucumber.

"The Voice" judge -- who's tooling around L.A. today in the whip -- is under investigation by the LAPD for sexual battery, after a woman claimed he slipped her ecstasy at a restaurant and then sexually assaulted her back in July. She says she passed out in the restaurant and the next thing she knew she was naked in a bed with Cee Lo in the room.

The singer has adamantly denied any wrongdoing.

Plaxico Burress -- the unemployed NFL star who famously shot himself in the leg -- just skated on a speeding ticket because the cop shot himself in the foot!

Plaxico was cited for going 125 MPH in Broward County, FL -- 70 miles over the speed limit in his 2012 Ferrari.

So how, you ask, does someone beat the rap? You hire Bradford Cohen, who showed the judge the ticket, which cited the wrong law. The cop amended his copy of the ticket after the fact, but it didn't match up with Plaxico's copy.

Call it a technicality, but it did the trick.

For the first time since he was banned from pro cycling for LIFE, a sponsorless, titleless, cancerless Lance Armstrong was seen on his bike this week ... training ... just for the hell of it.

TMZ has obtained photographs of Armstrong in Waikoloa Village, HI yesterday -- riding his bicycle on a local highway with another rider.

Sources tell TMZ, Armstrong has been hanging around the Hawaiian town for the last week -- riding his bicycle, swimming at the local public pool, and visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

In the photos, Armstrong is wearing a Livestrong jersey, despite stepping down as chairman from the foundation earlier this month in the wake of his doping scandal.

He's also wearing a helmet made by Giro -- one of the sponsors that kicked Lance to the curb this month.

As for the bike, Lance's rep tells us Armstrong has traded out his iconic Trek for a Crumpton -- "a local bike maker from Austin, TX."

Lance's rep also says, "[Armstrong] will continue to stay active and try to be the fittest 40 year old out there (he's now 41)."

If you think Felix Baumgartner's leap from space got Buzz Aldrin's astronaut juices flowing, think again -- the legendary spaceman says he's done visiting the Final Frontier.

Our photog caught up with Aldrin yesterday at LAX, where he showed he's still razor sharp ... referring to Baumgartner's record-setting jump as "One giant leap for Red Bull."

But when the topic of Aldrin returning to space came up -- Mars, perhaps? -- the 82-year-old said he's hung up his moon boots for good.

5:10 PM PT -- TMZ has just obtained a photograph of Diddy after the accident, and he was so shaken up by the crash ... he had to lie down on the grass.

Diddy was involved in a serious car accident in L.A. moments ago ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, a car turned left in front of Diddy's SUV and Diddy's driver t-boned the other vehicle.

Officers were called to the scene -- and cops claim everyone involved in the accident complained of pain, including Diddy, his driver, and the other driver.

It's unclear how seriously anyone was injured -- but law enforcement sources tell us, no one was transported to a hospital ... despite an ambulance being called.

The rule is ... PLAY IT AS IT LIES ... and that's exactly what ex-"Bachelorette" star Jillian Harris did earlier this month when her golf cart rolled into a freaking water hazard -- and she DOVE IN AFTER IT.

And the waterlogged aftermath was all caught on tape.

Sources tell TMZ, Jillian and her friends were participating in a charity golf tournament in West Kelowna, British Columbia when Jillian fell out of her golf cart.

According to sources, her friend jumped out to help Jillian, but forgot to put on the parking brake -- so the golf cart rolled into a water hazard.

Jillian quickly dove in after it to save their stuff ... but it was already too late -- so Jillian did what anyone else would do in that situation, and shotgunned a beer.
