El aterrador encuentro de Ian Ziering con un grupo de brutos motociclistas en Hollywood está ahora bajo investigación policial y los oficiales tienen algunas pistas.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que hay cámaras de vigilancia en toda la sección de Hollywood Blvd. donde Ian se metió con los motociclistas, así como imágenes de teléfono celular del incidente, por lo que los investigadores tienen mucho que hacer.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que este grupo de motociclistas golpeó el carro de Ian y cuando salió del vehículo las cosas se calentaron y el ataque se produjo... esto respalda las palabras de Ian.

Los policías nos dicen que esto no es un incidente aislado y que ha sucedido antes con grandes grupos de motociclistas y ciclistas también.

La policía le recomienda a cualquiera que se encuentre en los zapatos de Ian que debe permanecer en su carro, llamar al 911 y mantener la calma porque la agresividad suele escalar muy rápidamente en estas situaciones.

La forma en que los policías lo ven, es mejor dejar que el seguro maneje las cosas, siempre y cuando se trata solo de daños a la propiedad.

Un video del ataque muestra a los motociclistas usando sus cascos para golpear el carro de Ian, dañando su parabrisas mientras su hija de 10 años estaba dentro.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que lo más probable es que el caso sea entregado al Fiscal del Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles, ya que es un caso de delito de vandalismo con más de $1.000 en daños.

Nos dicen que los cargos criminales sean probablemente delitos menores, porque no hubo lesiones graves.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la policía de Los Ángeles está al tanto de un post de Instagram que uno de los motociclistas supuestamente publicó en las redes sociales y lo están investigando.

Ian Ziering's terrifying encounter with a bunch of biker brutes in Hollywood is now under police investigation ... and cops have some early leads.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... there are surveillance cameras all up and down the section of Hollywood Blvd. where Ian got into it with the bikers, as well as cell phone footage of the incident, so investigators have a lot to work with here.

Our sources say this group of bikers bumped Ian's car and when he got out of the vehicle, things got heated and the attack ensued ... which backs up what Ian's claiming.

Cops tell us this is not an isolated incident and it's happened before with large groups of motorcyclists, and bicyclists too.

Police recommend anyone finding themselves in Ian's shoes should stay in their car, call 911 and remain calm ... because mob mentality can escalate very quickly in these situations.

The way cops see it ... it's better to let insurance handle things as long as it's just property damage and it's not worth getting into it with a large group of people.

One angle from the attack shows bikers using their helmets to beat the crap out of Ian's car ... damaging his windshield while his 10-year-old daughter was inside.

Our sources say the case will most likely be turned over to the Los Angeles County District Attorney because it's a case of felony vandalism with over $1,000 in damage.

As for the battery aspect of the case, we're told any criminal charges there would likely be misdemeanors, because there were no major injuries.

Our sources say LAPD is aware of an Instagram post one of the bikers allegedly published on social media ... and they're looking into it.

Tras la demanda de Paula Abdul, el veterano productor de televisión Nigel Lythgoe se enfrenta a una segunda demanda, en la que se le acusa de haber agredido y acosado sexualmente a dos concursantes hace 20 años en un programa de telerrealidad.

Ambas eran concursantes de "All American Girl" —que se emitió durante una temporada en 2003— y Lythgoe era productor del programa. Según los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, las mujeres alegan que en repetidas ocasiones se presentaba en el set y en los vestuarios cuando llevaban trajes de baile y "abiertamente manoseaba" sus traseros.

En la demanda —que los demandantes están presentando como Jane Does— dicen que la producción organizó una fiesta para celebrar el final de la filmación, pero al final de la fiesta, afirman que Lythgoe insistió en que una de las mujeres fuera con él de vuelta al estudio cuando el resto del elenco ya se había ido.

La segunda demandante insistió en ir con ellos para proteger a su compañera pero afirman que Lythgoe las llevó a su casa, donde les hizo proposiciones sexuales a ambas. En la demanda, alegan que se levantó el jersey que llevaba puesto y "engulló" a una de las mujeres mientras intentaba besarla, cosa que ella le rechazó inmediatamente.

La otra demandante afirma que se puso agresivo con ella, empujándola contra un piano de cola y forzándola con la boca y la lengua mientras ella protestaba y se negaba.

Las mujeres están demandando a Lythgoe y a una productora sin nombre por asalto sexual, agresión, acoso sexual, imposición intencional de angustia emocional y negligencia.

Como hemos dicho, los demandantes se han presentado de forma anónima y solo identifican al demandado como "John Roe N.L." y al espectáculo como "AAG", pero TMZ ha confirmado a través de fuentes con conocimiento que se refieren a Nigel Lythgoe y "All American Girl".

Los demandantes citan la Ley de Responsabilidad por Abusos Sexuales y Encubrimiento de California (Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act) que, en su opinión, permite reactivar sus demandas, aunque de otro modo hubiera prescrito.

TMZ publicó la historia, Paula Abdul también citó esa Ley cuando demandó a Lythgoe la semana pasada por supuestamente agredirla sexualmente mientras trabajaban juntos en "American Idol" y "So You Think You Can Dance".

Lythgoe calificó la demanda de Paula de "totalmente falsa" y añadió que las acusaciones son "profundamente ofensivas para mí y para todo lo que represento".

Ian Ziering está repartiendo un poco de "Good Vibes", ya que fue visto por primera vez desde su encuentro aterrador con una turba de motociclistas despiadados en NYE.

La estrella de "Beverly Hills, 90210" parecía relajado durante un almuerzo en Bristol Farms el martes por la tarde, vistiendo una gorra de béisbol con el mensaje zen de positividad.

Sin embargo, su paz fue sacudida el domingo y TMZ publicó la historia... fue asaltado por un grupo de motociclistas cuando golpearon su carro mientras zigzagueaba a través del tráfico en Hollywood Blvd.

Las imágenes que obtuvimos muestran a los ciclistas dando violentas patadas y golpeando sus cascos contra el carro de Ian, todo mientras su hija de 10 años de edad, Penna, estaba sola en el interior mientras Ian peleaba al otro lado de la calle.

La experiencia fue bastante aterradora para los espectadores, por no hablar de la pequeña Penna, que fue vista llorando y siendo consolada por su padre poco después.

On the heels of Paula Abdul's lawsuit, veteran TV producer Nigel Lythgoe finds himself facing a second lawsuit, claiming he sexually assaulted and harassed 2 contestants 20 years ago on a reality competition show.

Both women were contestants on the show, "All American Girl" -- which aired for one season back in 2003 -- and Lythgoe was a producer on the program. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the women allege he would repeatedly show up on the set, and in dressing rooms, when they were wearing dance costumes ... and "openly swatted and groped" their butts.

In the suit, which the plaintiffs are filing as Jane Does, they say production hosted a party to celebrate the end of filming ... but at the end of the party, they claim Lythgoe insisted one of the women ride with him back to the studio where everyone else on the cast was going.

The second plaintiff insisted on going with them to protect her fellow contestant -- but they allege Lythgoe drove them back to his home, where he made sexual advances on both of them. In the suit, they allege he lifted up the sweater she was wearing, and "engulfed" one of the women while trying to kiss her ... and she immediately rejected him.

The other plaintiff claims he got aggressive with her by pushing her against a grand piano and forcing his mouth and tongue on her ... all of which she protested.

The women are suing Lythgoe and an unnamed production company for sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.

As we said, they've filed anonymously, and the suit only identifies the defendant as "John Roe N.L." and the show as "AAG" -- but TMZ has confirmed through sources with knowledge ... they're referring to Nigel Lythgoe and "All American Girl."

The plaintiffs cite California's Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act ... which they believe allows for the revival of their claims even though the statute of limitations would have otherwise run.

TMZ broke the story ... Paula Abdul also cited that Act when she sued Lythgoe last week for allegedly sexually assaulting her while they were working together on "American Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance."

Lythgoe called Paula's lawsuit "wholly untrue" -- adding the allegations are "deeply offensive to me and to everything I stand for."

Ian Ziering's trying his best to keep a positive attitude on the heels of his terrifying encounter with a mob of ruthless bikers in Hollywood ... as he gets out and about again for the first time since the street brawl.

The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star looked relaxed during a lunch outing at Bristol Farms Tuesday afternoon in WeHo ... donning a baseball cap branded with the oh-so zen message of "Good Vibes."

TMZ broke the story ... Ian's peace was massively interrupted Saturday as he ended up going toe-to-toe with a group of bikers, who he claims sideswiped his car while weaving through traffic on Hollywood Blvd.

Video footage we obtained shows the bikers violently kicking and pounding their helmets on Ian's car ... all while his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, was alone inside as Ian fought off others across the street.

The ordeal was frightening enough for onlookers ... let alone little Penna, who was seen weeping, and was consoled by her dad shortly after.

'Real Housewives of New York City' star Erin Lichy is being dragged to court over a debt ... her landlord claims she and her husband owe five figures in unpaid rent, plus interest.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Erin and her husband, Abraham Lichy, owe $43,950 in unpaid rent for their Big Apple loft.

The landlord says Erin and Abraham have rented their two-story apartment since July 2019 but claims the couple failed to pay the agreed rent and other charges between October 2021 and July 2023 ... racking up a substantial balance.

Erin and Abraham's landlord claims their lease called for them to pay a monthly rent of $13,500 -- due on the first of each month -- for the period in question, but they often paid late, didn't pay late fees, bounced checks and sometimes didn't pay rent at all.

Now, the landlord is going after the Lichys for $43,950 plus interest ... in addition to $12,900 to cover the landlord's legal fees in the case.

We're told the reason two months of rent was being withheld was due to an agreed upon abatement ... due to persistent rodents, unsanitary issues and a nonfunctioning elevator which lasted for several months.

Erin and Abraham are stunned by the lawsuit, because they tell TMZ ... the landlord wrote a glowing letter of recommendation for them when they moved out.

New footage of Ian Ziering's battle with bikers on Hollywood Blvd shows the extensive damage to his car's windshield ... and new details from the scene make it all the more terrifying.

In new video obtained by TMZ, bikers violently kick and pound their helmets on Ian's car ... and we're told his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, was alone inside the vehicle at that very moment.

While bikers attacked the car with Penna inside, we're told Ian was on the other side of the street fighting off other bikers.

These new details validate just how terrified Penna must've been ... with a previous clip from the aftermath showing Ian consoling the weeping youngster after the bikers fled.

TMZ broke the story ... the frightening confrontation ignited when Ian's car was hit by bikers who were weaving in and out of traffic.

Other footage shows Ian exchanging punches with one of the bikers before getting jumped by others in the violent brawl.

Nuevas imágenes de la batalla de Ian Ziering con los ciclistas en Hollywood Blvd muestra el enorme daño causado en el parabrisas de su carro, y nuevos detalles de la escena hacen que todo sea aún más aterrador.

En un nuevo video obtenido por TMZ, los motociclistas patean violentamente y golpean con sus cascos el carro de Ian, y nos dicen que su hija de 10 años, Penna, estaba sola dentro del vehículo en ese mismo momento.

Mientras los ciclistas atacaban el carro con Penna en el interior, nos dicen que Ian estaba al otro lado de la calle luchando contra otros ciclistas.

Estos nuevos detalles validan lo intimidante que debe haber sido para Penna. Un clip anterior muestra cómo Ian la estaba consolando después de que los ciclistas huyeran.

TMZ dio a conocer la noticia, la aterradora confrontación se encendió cuando el carro de Ian fue golpeado por los ciclistas que estaban circulando por dentro y fuera del tráfico.

Otras imágenes muestran a Ian intercambiando puñetazos con uno de los ciclistas antes de ser atacado por otros en la violenta pelea.

Ian Ziering se está sincerando sobre su aterrador encuentro con un grupo de brutos motociclistas en Los Ángeles, diciendo que salió "ileso" con su hija, al tiempo que pide a las autoridades locales que hagan algo con la creciente ola de "criminalidad" en la ciudad.

El actor de "Beverly Hills, 90210" publicó un largo mensaje en Instagram el lunes, primero calificando el incidente de "alarmante" antes de profundizar en lo sucedido y dar su opinión sobre lo que se debería hacer para combatir la anarquía en el futuro.

Ian explicó que uno de los mini motoristas se acercó agresivamente a su carro, lo que dio lugar a una "inquietante confrontación" cuando se bajó para "evaluar cualquier daño" a su vehículo estacionado en Hollywood Boulevard en la víspera de Año Nuevo.

Dijo que el encuentro con el motorista y los otros "se intensificó hasta un altercado físico", que se vio obligado a afrontar para protegerse a sí mismo y a su hija de 10 años, Penna, expresando el alivio que siente de que ambos estén "completamente ilesos".

Luego el actor apuntó a los funcionarios de Los Ángeles y reveló que está "profundamente preocupado" por la "creciente audacia de tales grupos", lo que está causando problemas de seguridad pública y perturbando la paz.

Señaló que el ataque a plena luz del día puso de relieve un problema mayor sobre "vandalismo en nuestras calles y la necesidad de contar con respuestas de la ley eficaces a tales comportamientos".

Ian también escribió: "Como ciudadano y como padre, me parece inaceptable que esos grupos puedan participar libremente en este tipo de comportamiento, causando miedo y caos, mientras la respuesta de las autoridades parece insuficiente".

Terminó las cosas instando a los funcionarios de la ciudad a tomar medidas decisivas contra este comportamiento fuera de la ley y a proporcionar más recursos policiales para evitar que ocurran en el futuro.

Ian Ziering is speaking out about his terrifying encounter with a bunch of biker brutes in L.A., saying that he emerged "unscathed" with his daughter, while calling on local officials to do something about the rising tide of "hooliganism" in the city.

The "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor posted a lengthy message on Instagram Monday, first calling the incident "alarming" before diving into what happened and giving his thoughts on what should be done to combat future lawlessness.

Ian explained that one of the mini bikers aggressively approached his car, leading to an "unsettling confrontation" when he got out to "assess any damage" to his vehicle parked on Hollywood Boulevard on New Year's Eve.

He said the encounter with the biker and others "escalated into a physical altercation," which he was forced to navigate to protect himself and his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, expressing relief they were "completely unscathed."

Then Ian took aim at L.A. officials, revealing he was "deeply concerned" about the "growing boldness of such groups," causing public safety issues and disturbing the peace.

He pointed out the broad daylight attack underscored a larger problem about "hooliganism on our streets and the need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior."

Ian also wrote, "As a citizen and a parent, I find it unacceptable that groups can freely engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos, while the response from authorities seems insufficient."

He wrapped things up by urging city officials to take decisive action against this lawless behavior and provide more police resources to prevent it in the future.

Antes de que este simpático niño entrara en la industria del entretenimiento como actor, vestía su mejor traje rojo, comenzando su carrera con solo seis años y convirtiéndose en miembro del National Youth Theatre mientras crecía en Londres, Inglaterra.

Aunque ha participado en un puñado de películas, como "Hijos del hombre" con Julianne Moore, probablemente sea más conocido por su papel revelación interpretando a Chuck Bass en "Gossip Girl". También es un apasionado de la música y fue miembro de la banda de rock The Filthy Youth.

Before this cute kiddo was "breaking and entering" into the entertainment industry as an actor, he was dressing in his finest red overalls, starting his career at just 6 years old and becoming a member of the National Youth Theatre while growing up in London, England.

While he's been in a handful of movies, like "Children of Men" with Julianne Moore ... he's probably most known for his breakout role ... playing Chuck Bass on "Gossip Girl." He's also passionate about music and was a member of the rock band The Filthy Youth.

Blake Shelton is being dragged online for his prerecorded New Year's Eve performance ... and some are saying it's an embarrassment to country music.

Here's the deal ... Blake was featured on CBS's "New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash" in what was billed as a live show, but folks figured out it was prerecorded and then trashed him.

Blake and Trace Adkins reunited for the CBS show, singing some of their oldies like "Hillbilly Bone" and "Hell Right."

Thing is ... Blake's performance aired only a few minutes before he took the stage in real life at a casino in Oklahoma.

Fans quickly caught on and ripped the network and Blake for double-booking ... firing off some angry tweets.

One user said Blake was "an embarrassment to country music" ... while another said Blake and Trace's duet was "one of the dumbest songs."

Blake's legit live gig went down at Oklahoma's WinStar Casino ... where he performed his hits to much better reviews.

Meanwhile, Blake's wife Gwen Stefani was working too ... she had a gig over in Las Vegas ... and it was live.

Ian Ziering jumped right back into parent mode after his donnybrook with a bunch of L.A. biker thugs, dashing over to his weeping daughter to console her.

TMZ has obtained more video showing the aftermath of Ian's terrifying New Year's Eve attack in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard, where the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star went toe to toe with the group of bikers, duking it out with them.

Check out the new footage ... the helmeted gang of assailants is mostly sitting on their choppers in the street, blocking traffic. Their leader, wearing a blue shirt and a head mask, lumbers across the road, pointing at the bikers and barking orders. The large man then climbs onto his own bike and takes off with his underlings.

In the midst of this, Ian runs across the boulevard to his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, who is clearly upset and crying. Like a doting dad, Ian wraps his arms around the girl and kisses her on her head, asking her if she's okay. Beside the shock of it all, Ian and Mia seem physically fine.

Police are now investigating the crazy brawl after an official report was filed with Ian's name listed as the victim.

TMZ broke the story with a video that captured the frightening ordeal. In the clip, the bikers are riding past Ian's car, possibly clipping it and sparking the confrontation. Ian exchanges punches with one of the bikers before he gets jumped by the other assailants. The whole thing turns into an all-out fight, and not a single bystander jumps in to help Ian.

By the way ... no one's been arrested yet. Stay tuned, though.

John Mayer destroyed Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show ... turning them into laughing hyenas as cat butts populated his side of the screen!

John joined the 2 best friends on the broadcast from a cat cafe in Tokyo. JM never made clear why alcohol mixes with felines, but even if he did it would not have made a difference.

Anderson couldn't hold it together, as John used his deadpan humor at the Cats in the Box Cafe to render the 2 hosts unable to carry on a convo.

Maybe part of the reason is that CNN seems to have changed its "no drinking" policy because the 2 ACs were taking some pretty serious shots every hour.
