LeBron James at Catch with his Wife
TIGHT-LIPPED

LeBron James decided to take his wife out on a fancy Hollywood dinner date Thursday -- and cruised up to the hottest restaurant in town in a sick $340k Rolls-Royce!!

Bron and Savannah hit up Catch in West Hollywood -- where every major star goes to eat and be seen (Sofia Richie, Shaun White and Brittany Snow were also in the restaurant last night).

The James' didn't do much talkin' ... but they made a helluva statement with their car! Our car experts tell us Bron was behind the wheel of a 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn Drophead Coupe.

Starting price ... $342k -- and that's the basic factory model. You know LeBron doesn't do basic anything.

Some car fun facts: it goes 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds and gets a whopping 12 miles per gallon in the city.

The craziest part ... it's a fantasy car for most normal people. It's just another ride for LeBron.

BUCKLE UP

Amber Rose and 21 Savage haven't said they're official but it ain't hard to read between the lines.

Amber and the rapper broke bread at Catch in WeHo Wednesday night ... the second time they've been seen out in a week.

Strap in, Savage, it's gonna be a wild ride.

Rihanna's New Guy Accepts Guinness Records Challenge But ...

Published | Updated

Rihanna's new beau is certainly up for a new challenge -- whether it's landing a smoking hot chick or lining up hundreds of cars to smash world records.

Hassan Jameel -- the guy RiRi was sucking face with in Spain -- accepted a challenge from Guinness back in 2013 to break the world record for the largest Toyota car parade. Makes sense -- Hassan's the heir to Saudi Arabia's largest Toyota distributor.

But we did a little digging and a rep at Guinness tells TMZ no application's been submitted from Saudi Arabia Toyota since Hassan accepted the challenge. Colombia and South Africa, however, did apply.

The current record holder is Toyota Cyprus ... which paraded 742 whips back in 2015. If you're wondering what the hell a Toyota car parade is ... think your local highway at rush hour, with ONLY Toyotas.

Danielle Bregoli I Got Porsche Plans ... License, Schmicense!

Published | Updated

Danielle Bregoli's too young to drive it, or even pronounce it -- but that's not stopping her from buying her first Porsche ... or so she says.

The "Cash Me Outside" girl was outside Catch in Weho Thursday night talking about how she'd spend the million bucks she's hoping to win from a lawsuit she filed against an app developer.

She immediately spit out the name of the whip she's clearly been eyeing. As for how a 14-year-old knows a damn thing about driving? Danielle and her mom revealed ... she already has road experience.

Terrifying thought ... if true.

Jamie Foxx Rolling in Gold ... Bugatti

Jamie and a female pal were seen driving around town in the highly conspicuous whip -- worth nearly $2 million bucks, and that's before the golden wrap job.

We knew his game show, "Beat Shazam," had a strong debut, but damn!

Gisele 'Taxi' Getaway Car Owner Wants It In Museum After It Saved His Life

Published | Updated

Gisele Bundchen's baller ride from her co-starring role in the 2004 movie, "Taxi," has a shot at history after saving its owner's life ... at least that's what the owner wants to see happen.

Gisele made her acting debut as a bank robber -- opposite Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah -- and drove a bad ass 2003 BMW 760 Li for the role. 10 years later, Zach Schwatz from NY bought the whip for $14,500 from a production staffer. He got it with a new white paint job.

Cut to last week, when Zach crashed his prized beamer into a tree. He suffered 2 broken feet and banged his head around, but believes it would've been way worse in a lesser ride. He's expected to make a full recovery, but the car's dunzo.

Zach wants his baby to be preserved in the Museum of the Moving Image -- instead of ending up on a scrap heap. He's contacted the museum about making the donation, but hasn't heard back yet.

Maybe they saw the movie. Just sayin' ...

Kendrick Lamar Car Company Has His Back 'Cheap' Car for Sister Was Smart!

Published | Updated

Kendrick Lamar is finally getting support for his decision to NOT buy his sister a baller new car -- of course, his backer is the company that made the umm ... frugal whip.

Kendrick took heat on social media for buying his younger sister a brand new Toyota Camry as a graduation present. In true "no good deed goes unpunished" fashion ... haters accused the multi-millionaire of going cheap on his kin.

But Toyota thinks K-Dot will have the last laugh.

A rep told us Toyota sees the choice as more "smart and thoughtful" than cheap, since Camry has a good track record for longevity and reliability. Plus, they're made in the U.S. -- so props for buying American! Sorta.

All good points, but Floyd Mayweather's kid would say ... so is a Benz.

We kid. Props to Kendrick, and his sis, for practicing what he preaches.

'LHHA' Star Karlie Redd Sues Dealership ... You Jacked My Porsche & My Bling!

Published | Updated

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Karlie Redd says 2 men broke into her garage and jacked her beloved Porsche, and she's suing a car dealership for organizing the heist.

Now, the dealership -- Vanderhall Exotics of Houston -- would call it your run-of-the-mill repo ... but in docs, obtained by TMZ, Karlie says her 2014 Panamera was straight stolen. She says she'd made $43,300 worth of payments on the car she purchased for $57,397 -- but on February 28, around 2:53 AM, the men forced their way into her garage.

In the suit, she says they also got into her house, stole an unspecified amount of jewelry and clothing ... and then bolted with the Porsche. Karlie says she called police and, through an app, traced the car back to the dealer in Texas.

The dealership claims the car was lawfully repossessed, but Karlie strongly disagrees. She's not demanding the return of the car, but she is suing to get back all the money she'd paid on it.

We've reached out to Vanderhall Exotics, so far no word back.

Taraji P. Henson Maserati Massacre on Movie Set

Published | Updated

Taraji P. Henson crashed a Maserati into a fire hydrant ... and the hydrant won.

Taraji was in Lawrence, Massachusetts Sunday on the set of her movie, "Proud Mary" ... shooting a scene where she was behind the wheel of the super expensive sports car. She had done 4 takes without incident, but on the fifth she cut the wheel too hard and slammed into the hydrant.

The "Empire" star was not hurt, but the Maserati was definitely the worse for wear. The hydrant had just gotten a fresh coat of paint so that's down the drain, but otherwise the car suffered way more damage.

Sounds like it was definitely an action shot ... they had been filming an explosion scene the entire day.

One production source said she wasn't the best driver. The good news ... we hear the movie is awesome.

As for the damage, a Maserati expert tells us it'll cost around $12k for proud Mary to keep on rollin'.

Sig Hansen Arrested for Assault Allegedly Spit on Driver

Published | Updated

3:55 PM PT -- Hansen tells us, "I am terribly sorry for my behavior and am very embarrassed by it. I owe a bunch of people apologies, first and foremost to our Uber driver, who was just trying to get us home safely. I hope I can make that apology in person. I have no excuse, and accept responsibility for my actions. I made a boneheaded move last night, and I am sorry."

"Deadliest Catch" captain Sig Hansen's been hauled off to the brig and is facing charges of assault and property destruction after a spat with an Uber driver ... TMZ has learned.

Hansen got into it with the driver early Thursday morning in the Seattle area. According to the police report ... the app canceled his ride, even though Sig was already in the car with his family. The Hansens say they offered to pay the driver $100 to complete the trip, but he refused, saying it was against Uber rules.

Hansen got mad and allegedly spit on the driver's head and the back of the driver's seat, then got out of the car and kicked it. The driver left and called cops. When officers arrived they saw several drops of fresh-looking spit on the back of the driver's headrest and a dent in the car.

When they went to Hansen's home ... cops say he was "obviously intoxicated," and told them he was celebrating Norwegian Independence Day. Cops say Sig initially denied any wrongdoing, and tried to walk back inside his home.

Officers stopped him, and put him in cuffs. Sig offered to pay any damage to the car's driver, but denied spitting. He was booked into King County Jail, and will be released on $2,000 bail.

Sig is also screwed with Uber, which tells us, “Violence will not be tolerated on the Uber app. We have been in contact with our driver partner, and the rider no longer has access to the app."
