Ride Me

4:54 PM PT -- Reps for the bands tell us ... no one lost any equipment or personal belongings in the fire ... the bands are on a three day break and everyone had taken most of their things off the buses.

Two tour buses for a Styx and Foreigner concert turned into vehicular torches early Wednesday afternoon in Philly ... TMZ has learned.

It's unclear how the fire started, but we're told one bus went up in flames ... and the fire spread to the second vehicle.

The buses were parked and NOT occupied when they caught fire. We're told the buses are "crew buses" and not "band buses."

The bands are scheduled to perform together Thursday in New Jersey.

In case you don't remember Styx -- you should be ashamed of yourself -- they had a bunch of hits including "Babe," "Renegade," "Mr. Roboto" and "Come Sail Away."

As for the concert, the show presumably will go on.

Harley-Davidson's new electric motorcycle just got a thumbs up from one of their most famous hog hounds ... Peter Fonda -- who says he's planning to ride one coast-to-coast.

Peter raved about the bike and then gave us tips on how to ride a chopper across the country ... which states are the best and where to stay.

Peter's a big movie star, but he's not a Four Seasons kind of guy.

Justin Bieber was a full-on good Samaritan Sunday ... rushing to the aid of 3 of Floyd Mayweather's kids who were involved in a bad car crash.

Here's what we know. Floyd was on the red carpet Sunday afternoon for the BET Awards when he got word his kids were in a bad crash in L.A. Floyd happened to be on the phone with Bieber at the time and told the singer how bummed he was that he was on the red carpet and not there for his kids.

Bieber happened to be in an SUV not too far away from the crash and jumped into action, racing to the scene.

Biebs told the cops he was friends of the family and wanted to check on their well-being.

We're told it was a multi-vehicle collision ... several cars and a motorcycle. The kids were not seriously injured -- one had a busted lip -- and Bieber tried comforting them by playing his new music for them.

Bieber was then allowed to put the kids in his SUV and drove them to Floyd ... then returned to the accident scene to inform cops the children were with the boxer.

French Montana has only been with Khloe Kardashian for a few months ... and he dropped nearly $100,000 on her birthday presents.

French got Khloe a Jeep Wrangler Sahara, which we're told cost around $50K.

But wait. There's more. He also gave her a $25,000,18k gold ring with natural green Colombian emeralds and natural yellow canary diamonds from Rafaello & Co.

And still more. French gifted her 2 grills (one with diamonds and one without) at a cost of $10K. Khloe wore one to her birthday bash.

Love ... it don't come cheap.

Rapper French Montana didn't even put up a fight ... appearing in a NY courtroom today where he pled guilty to driving his Rolls-Royce Ghost without a license ... then quickly split.

French -- real name Karim Kharbouch -- was fined $588 ... which is due by Aug. 26. His lawyer called the whole thing a mix-up with the DMV and said French just wants to pay the fine and get on with his life.

Justin Bieber is being sued for allegedly striking a pedestrian while driving his Ferrari and the guy suing says he was injured so badly ... he may never recover.

Walter Lee claims in the lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- he was walking on the Sunset Strip a year ago just before midnight when Justin was cruising down the street and struck him.

As we previously reported ... Bieber was leaving the Laugh Factory with Lil Twist in the passenger seat.

Lee claims his injuries are severe -- lacerations, hematomas, deep abrasions on his left knee and leg and deep venous thrombosis.

He says he's been saddled with hospital and other medical bills.

Justin was actually investigated for hit-and-run but cleared.

Justin Bieber was in a car accident in Bev Hills Tuesday at 2 PM PDT ... after a car driven by a paparazzo was chasing the Escalade in which Bieber was a passenger -- eyewitnesses tell TMZ.

We're told the Escalade was going down Canon Drive at a fast clip, trying to lose the photog, when a BMW was pulling out of a parking structure near Bouchon restaurant. An eyewitness tells us ... the BMW misjudged the speed of the Escalade and smashed into it.

We're told Bieber almost immediately got out of the SUV and into another car and sped off.

Kim Kardashian got something special in her mail box over the weekend ... clumps of paint from her $300,000 Rolls Royce.

Seems Kim's assistant isn't proficient at navigating the ostentatious whip ... she tried backing out of the driveway and tore into the mailbox. What's amazing ... she didn't stop when she heard metal-on-metal.

Kim is all too forgiving ... her assistant's job is secure and the repair costs -- which could approach $20K -- will not be deducted from her salary.

Someone should bookmark this post for North West ... it's called precedent.

Kim Kardashian's 1-year-old baby is a full-on baller, flying 1st class from NYC to L.A. with nannies, an assistant, Kanye's aunt, a nurse and a security guard ... then whisked off the plane by Delta personnel and escorted home in a chauffeur-driven Porsche Panamera waiting for her on the tarmac.

North West did not fly with her mom or dad. Kanye was in France and flew to Miami. Kim flew to New York with North but then left for France for a day ... so mom and daughter flew back home separately.

And no Ubers for North. She rolled up to JFK in Kanye's Maserati and was greeted by her people.

Joey McIntyre from "New Kids on the Block" does not have the Right Stuff -- not when it comes to driving ... according to the California family suing him for slamming into their car.

The lawsuit was filed by a man named Surendra Patel, and in the docs he says Joey was driving "negligently, carelessly, recklessly" ... when he rear-ended Patel and his family 2 years ago in Burbank, CA.

We spoke to a Patel family member who claims they were stopped at a traffic light at the time of the accident, and all 5 passengers -- including two minor children -- were badly hurt ... though the family member wasn't specific about injuries.

The family is suing to cover medical expenses, lost earnings, property damage and pain and suffering.

In short ... they're hangin' tough.

Mark Ballas was in a bad car accident Monday afternoon and ended up in an L.A. hospital ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Mark was driving on an L.A. street, in the process of turning right, when another car was speeding in his lane, couldn't stop in time and slammed into his back right side.

Mark complained of whiplash and back pain. His girlfriend took him to Cedars-Sinai Medial Center where doctors examined him and prescribed some pain meds. Doctors told him the pain would get worse tomorrow, which isn't great news because Mark is scheduled to perform this week where he'll have a guitar strapped to his body as he sings and dances.

Comedian Aries Spears' ex-wife is walking away from their 2-year marriage with some high-priced parting gifts that could cost him over $400K right off the bat ... TMZ has learned.

Spears' divorce from Elisa Larregui was finalized May 23 and according to court docs obtained by TMZ ... he's obligated to buy her a home "OF [HER] CHOOSING" in Florida -- with the very specific price range of $300K to $375K.

The ex "MadtV" star also has to buy Elisa a 2014 Cadillac Escalade ... and again the devil's in the details. According to the docs, the whip MUST have a backseat entertainment center and a sticker price of $60-$75K.

Elisa -- who already has full legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Jordan -- also gets $5,000 per month in child support.

Casper Smart is keeping some fabulous parting gifts in the wake of his breakup with Jennifer Lopez ... but he's not getting any cash ... he's now strictly on his own.

Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ ... Casper gets to keep 2 motorcycles, a jeep and a Dodge Ram truck.

Pretty sweet so far, but that's where it ends. Casper's days tooling around L.A. in that white Bentley are over. Ditto flying private jets, the fancy Hamptons mansion and the Hidden Hills estate.

The toughest change for Casper -- he won't be sitting front row during Paris Fashion Week with Kanye.

And there's this. Our sources say Jennifer won't be doling out any money for Casper to land on his feet, but we're told that's the way he wants it. As it was put to us, "He's too much of a man" and hasn't asked for anything.

Well, Melanie Griffith is gonna be single soon ...

The kid who played 10-year-old Ricky Bobby in "Talladega Nights" allegedly caused a 5-car pileup in Alabama Wednesday while driving more than double the speed limit -- so cops shake-n-baked him.

The Trussville PD says they put out an arrest warrant for Luke Bigham this week for driving 80 mph in a 35 zone and crashing his Lexus into another car ... causing the multi-car wreck.

Bigham was the only person hospitalized ... and he turned himself in the next day for misdemeanor reckless driving. He was processed and released.

If you 'aint first ... you're arrested.

No one taught Regis Philbin about stranger danger -- the iconic TV host hopped into a random van in New York City when he couldn't hail a cab … and it's all on video!

It all went down Wednesday afternoon ... when two guys happened upon Regis standing in the street, trying to get a ride.

Reege must have been in a crazy hurry, because he took the guys up on their offer for a lift. Check out the photo below ... he wasn't exactly hopping into a town car!

Despite the creepy unmarked van, Regis got where he needed to go -- 8 blocks away -- in one piece.

Don't try this at home, kids.

Cops now have a description of the guy who abandoned Miley Cyrus' stolen Maserati ... and TMZ has learned the perp has serious hipster tendencies.

According to a witness who spotted Miley's car and reported it to cops ... the Maserati was dropped off in Simi Valley Friday night by a white male in his early 20s, wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

The witness tells TMZ the guy then jumped into the passenger seat of another car and drove off.

The car sat there all weekend, our witness says, before cops picked it up Monday afternoon after getting calls from a few different neighbors.

We asked the witness if he wants a reward from Miley for helping find her car -- and he said no thanks ... he's not a Miley fan.
