Ride Me

Marshawn Lynch is sidelined with an injury, but his Beast Mode brand is rolling like never before ... and it's all for a good cause.

Lynch teamed with McLoughlin Jeep in Oregon to create 24 limited edition "Beast Mode" vehicles for sale at the dealership ... with part of the proceeds benefiting Marshawn's charity -- Family 1st Foundation.

We spoke to Christopher Bevans -- who runs Beast Mode -- and he tells us each Jeep will "truly be one of a kind” ... patterned after Marshawn's own personal style.

Of course Lynch copped one for himself ... and it's tricked out with $100k worth of customization including premium leather, a high end paint job and an "insane" sound system.

BTW, if you're wondering how much Lynch's custom ride set him back ... it was the low, low price of ON DA HOUSE.

Gilbert Arenas is fun to some ... dangerous to others.

Hibachi took the kids out riding in his Polaris Slingshot and it looks like his son Alijah is on the hood, holding on for dear life.

Gilbert posted the video but then deleted it ... which makes us think someone raised some safety issues about an 8-year-old gripping the hood of a moving vehicle.

The ex-NBA player who allegedly jacked a car from a hotel valet in Hollywood and then went on a joyride has been charged with a felony ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... Jeff Adrien was arrested for allegedly taking a sweet 2015 Mercedes S550 from a hotel valet on Dec. 7th without permission from the actual owner.

Adrien allegedly drove the car around town ... before eventually returning it to the hotel. He was arrested a short time later when the owner discovered what happened.

Adrien's rep had previously told us the whole thing was a giant misunderstanding and it would all be cleared up.

But now, we've learned that ain't exactly the case ... 'cause prosecutors have hit the 29-year-old with one count of driving or taking a vehicle without consent -- a felony.

CNBC star Marcus Lemonis' company has been sued by an RV company that claims he tried to buy the business and when he was rebuffed he tried to sabotage it.

Lemonis, who's show "The Profit" tries to rehab struggling businesses, is CEO of a company called Camping World, which made a bid to swallow up another company called RV Sales.

The suit claims to Lemonis' chagrin, RV Sales had no interest in selling, and that's when RV alleges Lemonis went on the attack. RV claims it got a shipment of damaged vehicles and out of the blue Lemonis called and again offered to take all RV's problems off its hands by buying the business. In short, RV is accusing Lemonis of causing the damage to the vehicles to get the upper hand.

RV claims Lemonis didn't stop there ... he pulled other stunts to strong arm RV into selling to Camping World.

Lemonis tells us the suit is bogus and RV Sales has made outlandish allegations before to cover up their horrible business decisions.

You might not think the MLB is the swaggiest league around ... but it turns out the hardball heroes are going custom car crazy for the holidays ... and TMZ Sports has pics of the jaw dropping rides.

We spoke with Alex Vega ... the dude behind south Florida's premiere customizing spot, The Auto Firm ... and he says the yuletide season has his spot JUMPING with baseball players looking to upgrade.

New York Yankees SS Starlin Castro brought his S50 AMG in and totally flipped it ... adding a full carbon fiber body kit, Avorza 22 inch Av37 forge wheels and all white custom leather interior.

Pablo Sandoval of the Boston Red Sox wasn't outdone by his Yankees rival ... adding a wide body kit, Avorza red and black leather and a custom exhaust system ... all setting him back $65k.

But the craziest job title went to Mariners RF Nelson Cruz... who dropped $40k on his Polaris slingshot ... adding a custom glow-in-the-dark paint job, a new sound system and 38 inch forged wheels.

Teresa Giudice got more than a welcome home from her family ... a $90k Lexus was lying in wait in her driveway.

It's interesting ... Teresa and Joe were scraping money together just before she went in to pay the $400k in restitution.

We're told Bravo did not buy the car for her. We called around and we're told Joe was shopping for a Lexus from a New Jersey dealership specializing in luxury cars.

What's very clear ... the Giudices have already made some rich deals to capitalize on her release from prison.

Nigerian soccer star Dickson Nwakaeme is jumping the broom in style ... spending more than $65k to turn his Range Rover into a swag-dripping matrimony machine.

TMZ Sports spoke with Alex Vega ... the customizing guru down at the Auto Firm in Miami ... and he tells us Dickson wanted to sup up his ride for his upcoming wedding ... so he brought it in for a little makeover.

Vega says they ditched the something borrowed and something blue, instead electing to just go with the new ... a new Luma wide body kit, new custom Avorza AV 45 wheels and new white and black Avorza leather throughout the SUV.

Final price tag ... $65k (plus whatever it takes to get the ride back to freakin' Nigeria).

In the time it takes Kendall Jenner to make a U-turn in her classic 1957 Corvette Stingray ... you could raise a family and solve world hunger.

Jenner went full grandma driving her gorgeous whip -- babying it so much she had to enlist outside help just to get going.

We'll say this ... at least she treats her ride -- which she bought for her 20th birthday -- way better than Kylie treats hers!

Conor McGregor is starting to upgrade ... rollin' around Santa Monica in a $500,000 CAR!!!!

Check out out the footage of the Notorious One ... doing some Christmas shopping in his Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe ... while bumping old school Mariah Carey.

Don't judge him. Old school Mariah is dope.

As for the whip, it's just a drop in the bucket if you consider the fact UFC boss Lorenzo Fertitta just came out and said he expects Conor to be the UFC's first $100 MILLION fighter.

Derek Carr didn't run out of gas Sunday during his huge win over the Broncos -- his wife, not so much.

While the Oakland Raiders QB was leading his team to victory in Denver, Heather Carr (who's pregnant) was driving home with their kid and dog in the car ... when they ran out of gas on a freeway off-ramp.

The Dublin PD tells TMZ Sports ... an officer in the area noticed Carr's car on the side of the road and stopped to check out the situation -- and ultimately got her enough gas to get her to a gas station.

We're told the officer tracked down a gas can and had it filled -- then brought it back to Heather ... and by the way, the officer had no idea the woman was the wife of an NFL quarterback.

"In this day and age, we do a lot more than catch the bad guy," a spokesperson for the PD tells us.

Chad Johnson is proving that a small carbon footprint can still leave a huge impression ... 'cause the Ex-NFL baller just made his tiny Smart Car a big eye catcher ... dropping $25k to pimp the mini ride.

We're told that Johnson wanted his ride to pack a little more punch so he took his 2016 Smart Car down to the Auto Firm in Miami where customizing master Alex Vega went to work on it.

How do you make a Smart Car look swag? How about plastering it with custom satin black paint, throwing some Av30 forge rims on it, plus tossing in an Avorza grill and body kit.

Final price tag $25k.

BTW the Smart Car with all the trimmings, retails for a little over $18K brand new ... so Chad's proving there's no price too big for mother earth.

Justin Bieber was super cool Friday night when he breezed into The Nice Guy in WeHo, telling our photog why he REALLY got nailed by cops.

In case you didn't see ... the Biebs was leaving The Grove Friday afternoon when he peeled out, and eyewitnesses said the cops ticketed him for reckless driving.

Not so ... Biebs concedes he broke the law, but for a different driving move.

Corey Gamble is also in the video playing Justin's hype man, as Bieber gives our photog the lowdown on his latest tat.

Justin Bieber put on an awesome show with his Ferrari, but he did it in front of a cop, and ended up getting busted for it.

The Biebs hit up The Grove in L.A. on Friday and when he left in his icy blue whip ... he punched it, peeling out of the parking lot. Seconds later an LAPD cruiser pulled him over, and apparently wrote him up. A source close to Justin tells us the singer made an illegal left turn.

We're sure his THREE top 10 songs will take the sting out of the ticket.

Jamie Foxx's Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is about the same price as a really nice home ... so consider the $20k he just dropped for new paint a renovation.

Jamie brought his Rolls to RD Whittington's Scottsdale Sports Car Group ... the same place Game went to trick out his jeeps -- just to change the hue.

Jamie's had the whip for around 2 years, so Jamie felt it was time for a satin white finish, which we gotta say looks way better with the tan interior.

Part of the $20k went for 24-inch Giovanna Rims, which retail for around $2.5k ... EACH!

Drive defensive, Jamie!

File Under: I'M NO DAMN CAR THIEF ... 'cause NBA player Jeff Adrien says he's not the car stealing MORON cops made him out to be ... telling TMZ Sports his arrest was nothing more than a mix-up.

We broke the story ... Jeff was arrested for grand theft auto in L.A. this week -- after allegedly stealing a sick Mercedes from valet and taking the whip on a 6-hour joyride.

Now, Jeff is finally breaking his silence -- telling TMZ Sports he has a LEGIT EXPLANATION for the whole thing ... it was a case of mistaken Mercedes identity.

"I came out of the Hollywood hotel in a rush. My friend gave me his ticket and said use his car ... so when then valet pulled up in the ride I hopped in and left."

Adrien says he had never seen the car beforehand -- so he didn't know if the car belonged to his friend or someone else ... he just assumed he was in the right car.

"I don't like to point fingers but this is Beverly Hills, there are a ton of Mercedes rolling around."

Adrien says the fact he brought the car back to the hotel proves there was NEVER an intent to steal the car ... it was just an innocent mix-up.

In fact, Adrien and his lawyer both tell TMZ Sports the charges against him have been dropped -- though we have not been able to independently confirm that yet.

He's the best Formula 1 driver on the planet -- but Lewis Hamilton tells TMZ Sports he's intrigued about the idea of getting in a NASCAR ride ... with some help from Jeff Gordon.

Hamilton was arriving to 'Jimmy Kimmel' when he told us he's been talking to Jeff about swapping rides and doing a little sock car racing for a change.

Watch the clip -- Hamilton seems excited about the idea.

Unfortunately for Hamilton, the only person who we can think of who successfully made the jump from Formula 1 to NASCAR was Jean Girard ... and he wasn't even a real person.

If you ain't first, you're last.
