Chris Brown just pled not guilty to the charge of hit-and-run, stemming from that minor car accident -- which led to his probation getting revoked -- TMZ has learned.

Since he wasn't arrested on the day of the accident, Chris now has to go to a police station to get booked for the crime ... which means he'll have to take another mug shot. He has until August 6th to take care of that.

Chris' next court date in the hit-and-run case is August 15.

As for his possible probation violation in the Rihanna beating case -- the singer has to appear in court for a separate probation violation hearing in August.

As we reported, the judge revoked Chris' probation in the wake of the hit-and-run charge ... but he's currently free on his own recognizance.

The remaining charges from the car accident -- driving without a valid license and proof of insurance -- were dismissed.

The family that George Zimmerman rescued from an overturned SUV in Florida last week is white ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.

According to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, the two adults who were pulled out of their overturned SUV on July 17 were described as a white male and a white female.

The report states that the SUV was traveling toward an off-ramp on State Road 417 when the driver lost control ... causing the vehicle to "go off road and roll over."

As we previously reported, two men responded to the accident and helped pull the family to safety -- one of the rescuers was George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.

Officials say there were 4 passengers inside the SUV at the time of the wreck -- 2 parents and 2 children.

TMZ has also obtained the 911 calls placed by witnesses moments after the crash, detailing the accident. Take a listen.

George Zimmerman is being hailed a HERO in Florida this morning ... after cops say he helped RESCUE a family of 4 from an overturned vehicle just days after the Trayvon Martin verdict.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... around 5:45 pm on Wednesday July 17, Zimmerman noticed an overturned SUV off a highway in Sanford, FL ... and sprang into action.

According to the SCSO, Zimmerman and another man approached the car and helped all 4 of the passengers -- 2 parents and 2 children -- get out of the wrecked car.

Cops say ... "Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after making contact with the deputy. There were no reports of injuries to the vehicle occupants."

The identity of the family has not been released.

Jermaine Dupri just lost a nasty $79,000 battle over a badass Lamborghini he hasn't driven in two years ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Dupri was hit with a big, fat lawsuit back in 2011 ... after a financial company claimed the legendary hip hop producer blew off payments on his $330,000 Lambo Murcielago.

The company -- Premier Financial Services -- demanded Dupri pay for the balance on the car, $79,095, which was repo'd in 2011 ... and according to court docs filed in Georgia, a judge has granted its wish.

The docs, filed on June 18 and obtained by TMZ, show Dupri never responded to the lawsuit -- so a judge entered a default judgment against him, ordering JD to pay up.

It's just another financial blow to Dupri, who's already been accused of stiffing Uncle Sam to the tune of $800,000 in unpaid federal taxes.

Suddenly $80k seems like chump change.

The photog who was attacked by Kanye West at LAX Friday is the SAME paparazzo who was attacked by Britney Spears in the famous umbrella incident ... TMZ has learned.

The pap -- who goes by the name Dano -- was on the receiving end of crazy Britney's Mary Poppins-style attack back in 2007. The word on the street was that Dano was more than a tad aggressive.

After the umbrella incident ... Dano put the umbrella (she left it on the street and he picked it up) on eBay. He also put the Ford Explorer she dented on the website and the bidding reached more than $30k.

But those figures are small potatoes ... we're told he also raked in a fortune from his video of the incident.

As for Friday's incident ... we broke the story .... Dano wants to press charges and Kanye is now a felony suspect for attempted robbery.

Prince Jackson picked up something in his pickup Wednesday -- a speeding ticket.

TMZ has learned ... Michael Jackson's eldest son was nabbed by cops near his Calabasas home for going around 40 mph in a 25 zone.

FUN FACT: Prince was stopped in the area where Justin Bieber and his Lil friends race his Ferrari -- at much higher speeds. FYI -- Justin and the Lils have never gotten a speeding ticket in that area.

As for Prince -- well, the 16-year-old must now dig deep, because the fine is around $250.

Already blowing the $10 billion nest egg he's after ... kids.

Hot chicks catch all the breaks in Hollywood ... just ask The Game, who appeared to give a full pardon to a woman who smashed into his BMW last night ... just because she was attractive.

Game was outside Tru nightclub with his posse ... when some lady in a Mercedes punched the gas pedal -- while her car was in reverse -- slamming her ride into Game's white Beemer while he was standing right in front of the car.

But Game didn't even get upset ... 'cause when the driver emerged from her car and walked over to the rapper to apologize, he instantly forgave her ... and it's obvious why.

"She cracked the whip! She cracked the Beemer ... but I'm such a G, that I ain't even trip!"

Former NBA star Jason Kidd just pled guilty to drunk driving in New York ... but the Brooklyn Nets coach won't spend a single day behind bars.

As we previously reported, Kidd was arrested on July 15, 2012 ... after crashing his Cadillac SUV into a telephone poll around 2am. Cops say he reeked of booze.

In the hours leading up to the crash, Kidd was partying at a club and appeared so drunk, he had to be carried out of the place.

This morning, Kidd pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor DWI (driving while intoxicated) ... and was placed on interim probation. Kidd was also ordered to speak to high school students in Long Island about the dangers of driving drunk.

FYI -- "interim probation" is a voluntary version of regular probation. Bottom line -- if Kidd violates his probation, the judge can still throw his ass in jail.

That was quick -- the judge just REVOKED Chris Brown's probation in the Rihanna beating case, but the singer will remain a free man ... for now.

Brown showed up at court today to fight the L.A. County D.A.'s motion to revoke his probation in the wake of hit-and-run charges stemming from a car accident in May ... but the judge granted the motion anyway, paving the way for a probation violation hearing in August.

If the judge determines Chris violated his probation, the singer could be sentenced to 4 years in prison.

11:30 AM PT -- The L.A. City Attorney's office has just objected to the settlement between Chris and Olga because it hasn't yet made direct contact with Olga. The City Attorney wants to make sure Olga's on board with the deal before they sign off on it. The judge has since continued the hearing to July 23rd.

Chris Brown will NOT be prosecuted for the alleged hit-and-run in May ... at least that's the way the victim wants it.

Brown was charged with the crime after leaving the scene of a minor rear-end collision without forking over identifying information -- i.e., a California driver's license and insurance info.

We've learned Olga Gure-Kovalenko -- the driver of the vehicle Chris hit -- has no desire to have him prosecuted, so Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, has filed legal docs to have the criminal case dropped.

Olga's lawyer, Freddy Sayegh, tells TMZ, his client wants no money since there was no physical injury and only minor damage to her car. This is consistent with what Olga told us on TMZ Live.

Here's the snag. We've learned the L.A. City Attorney has not agreed to drop the case. They're all in court right now, and we're told it's likely the City Attorney wants some time to think it over.

And, even if the City Attorney agrees to drop the hit-and-run case, Brown was also charged with driving without a valid California license, and the City Attorney could still move forward on that. Geragos just filed legal docs claiming Brown is a Virginia resident with a valid Virginia license so he hasn't violated any law.

Yasiel Puig may have been snubbed for baseball's All-Star Game -- but he was in All-Star mode at an L.A. club in his totally PIMP white Rolls-Royce!

Last night -- when the Los Angeles Dodgers phenomenon should've been on his way to NYC for the All-Star Game -- we spotted him leaving Greystone Manor ... flanked by security guards, and, of course, a beautiful woman.

Check the video ... we threw Puig a few bilingual curveballs -- about baseball, his lady friend, his ride and Castro.

By the way, this time last year ... Puig had just defected from Cuba to Mexico.

That 7-year, $42 million deal looks good ... for YP and the Dodgers.

Forget security lines, crying babies and delayed flights -- at 30,000 feet, these A-list travelers are opting out of the regular people problems associated with airlines and are flying high in their own private jets.

Like an older, hotter Justin Bieber ... Paris Hilton got in some trouble today for speeding through a residential neighborhood in a super fancy car.

Unlike Justin, Paris was busted in Beverly Hills (she wouldn't be caught dead in the valley) ... and law enforcement sources tell us she was only going 42 in a 25. Not exactly breaking the sound barrier.

In the end, Paris got a ticket ... and left without being chased down by Keyshawn Johnson.

Lil Twist was driving Justin Bieber's car while under the influence of marijuana ... and he even had a LIT BLUNT in the car at the time of his DUI arrest, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We broke the story ... 20-year-old Twist was busted in Calabasas around 3:30 AM Thursday morning on his way to Bieber's house.

Twist was hauled to a nearby station, where he was booked ... and was later released after roughly 8 hours in custody.

10:15 AM PT Sources tell us Twist allegedly had a lit blunt in the car when officers pulled him over ... as well as some more marijuana.

Lil Twist -- Justin Bieber's lackey -- was ARRESTED for DUI in Calabasas, CA early this morning ... while behind the wheel of Justin's famous chromed- out Fisker Karma ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... 20-year-old Twist -- real name Christopher Lynn Moore -- was pulled over for speeding around 3:30 AM on Parkway Calabasas, while en route to Bieber's mansion.

When officers approached the car, they believe Twist appeared to be under the influence of a substance ... but we're told he DID NOT appear to be drunk.

Twist was arrested and hauled to a nearby station where he was booked for DUI.

Justin Bieber's single days are officially over ... again ... for now ... 'cause he's back on with Selena Gomez -- but TMZ has learned there's one major catch -- he's gotta stop acting like a d-bag.

According to sources, Selena had firmly resisted reuniting with Justin after their most recent breakup because he and his friends have been acting like raging self-entitled jackasses the last few months -- smoking pot, speeding around in expensive cars, and pissing in mop buckets.

But Justin -- being the Casanova that he is -- was able to change her mind ... and on July 4th, we're told he won her back by promising to change his douche ways. Apparently, Selena bought it.

We're told JB and his "Wild Kidz" goons have taken notice of the public backlash against their ridiculous behavior -- hard not to -- and they all decided to clean up their acts.

Sounds like BS -- considering Bieber's abysmal track record for making phony apologies and continuing to act like an oblivious self-important douche-baby -- but our sources say Selena has always been an extremely positive influence on him ... and if anyone can change him, it's her.

Bottom line, it seems like no one else can fix Justin, so why not give Selena a shot? It might just be crazy enough to work.
