"Succession" star Alan Ruck might be out of the woods with cops for his pizza shop truck crash, but he's being dragged to court by the driver of one of the vehicles he collided with before driving through a building.

According to a lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Horacio Vela says he was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Hollywood Blvd and La Brea Ave Halloween night. Vela claims Ruck was waiting directly behind him in his 2023 Rivian truck in the line of traffic.

Without warning, Vela says Ruck slammed into the back of his Hyundai while the light was still red, pushing him into oncoming traffic and causing Vela to collide with another vehicle.

As we reported ... Ruck's vehicle continued on, slamming into Raffalo's pizza and causing significant damage.

Vela says he suffered, "severe injuries and damages" as a result of the crash ... and was immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance to get checked out.

While he doesn't get specific ... Vela also states the crash left him with "property damage, costs of past and future medical care, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and other consequential damages."

Video from the crash showed Ruck's Rivian accelerate without warning while it was stopped at a red light, cops say he was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol ... and chalked the whole thing up to an accident.

We got Ruck out following the crash, but he didn't say much.

Bradley Cooper se puso a trabajar en la parrilla en su nuevo carro de comida y para su suerte tuvo algunas caras familiares entre sus primeros clientes.

El nativo de Filadelfia estaba muy contento el miércoles en Nueva York cuando logró traer un poco del sabor de su ciudad natal, en su nuevo food truck Danny & Coop. Esta es una asociación con Danny DiGiampietro, propietario de Angelo's Pizzeria en el sur de Filadelfia.

Entre sus primeros clientes estaba su ex Irina Shayk y su hija, quienes salieron a mostrarle su apoyo, así como su actual pareja, Gigi Hadid.

El actor de "Maestro" demostró que sigue teniendo una buena relación con Irina para cuidar de su hija, Lea. Bradley se ha mostrado muy amistoso con Irina, que en los últimos meses ha estado muy ocupada en Nueva York con Tom Brady.

Aunque, lo último que supimos de ellos es que las cosas "se habían esfumado" en octubre. Bradley, por el contrario, todavía parece ir en serio con Gigi, quien lo fue a apoyar a su food truck una hora antes que Irina.

A pesar del estatus de Gigi como supermodelo y novia de Bradley (no confirmado aún), cualquier intento suyo por hacerse con algunos regalos se quedó corto, ya que fue vista sacando su tarjeta para pagar por su cheesesteak.

En otras palabras, la aventura culinaria de Bradley fue un placer e incluso tuvo entre sus comensales a Laura Dern, quien fue a agarrar un bocado junto a Gigi.

Bradley Cooper got to work, manning the grill in his new food truck ... and as luck would have it, he had some VERY familiar faces visit him as some of the joint's first customers.

The Philly native flashed a massive smile as he got a taste of home ... cookin' Philly cheesesteaks at his new Danny & Coop food truck -- a partnership with Danny DiGiampietro, owner of Angelo's Pizzeria in South Philly -- in NYC Wednesday.

Among his first customers was ex Irina Shayk and their daughter coming out to show their support -- as well as his current squeeze, Gigi Hadid.

Proving they were still co-parenting brilliantly, the "Maestro" actor engaged in a friendly exchange with lil' Lea and Irina -- who's been busy in NYC in recent months with rumored new man Tom Brady.

Though, last we heard, things "fizzled out" between them in Oct. However, Bradley still seems to be going strong with Gigi, who paid him a visit at the truck an hour before Irina.

Despite Gigi's status as a supermodel/Bradley's (unconfirmed) GF, any attempt on her behalf to bag freebies fell short ... as she was seen pulling out her card to pay for her cheesesteak.

Nonetheless, Bradley's food truck venture went down a treat ... with even Laura Dern grabbing a bite to eat alongside Gigi.

Joshua Jackson y Lupita Nyong'o claramente no quieren que nadie sepa que están pasando mucho tiempo juntos y haciendo todo lo posible para evitar ser fotografiados durante una salida por comestibles.

La ganadora del Oscar hizo un valiente intento (aunque sin éxito) para eludir la vista al llegar con la estrella de "Dawson's Creek" a Erewhon en Los Ángeles el lunes. Lupita se agachó en el asiento del pasajero, pero aun así no se pudo ocultar.

A pesar de su plan frustrado, Joshua siguió manteniendo la ilusión de una salida en solitario cuando se dirigió a la tienda con Lupita siguiendo su ejemplo minutos más tarde.

Mientras que la pareja aún no ha confirmado su relación, sus travesuras sugieren que su relación va más allá de la amistad.

Joshua y Lupita se conocen desde hace años, con su conexión aparentemente fortaleciéndose en octubre en el concierto de Janelle Monáe.

Aunque no hubo demostraciones de afecto en el show, la salida levantó sospechas, especialmente teniendo en cuenta que Lupita terminó con su novio, Selema Masekela, el mismo día y rápidamente borró todo rastro de él de su Insta.

Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong'o clearly don't want anyone to know they're spending a whole lotta time together -- going to great lengths to avoid being snapped together during a joint grocery run.

The Oscar winner made a valiant attempt -- albeit unsuccessfully -- to duck out of view when arriving with the "Dawson's Creek" star to Erewhon in L.A. Monday. Lupita ducked in the passenger's seat, but was still spotted.

Despite their foiled plan, Joshua continued to maintain the illusion of a solo outing as he headed into the store first ... with Lupita following suit minutes later.

While the pair have yet to confirm their relationship, their shenanigans suggest their relationship is beyond friendship.

Joshua and Lupita have known each other for years ... with their connection seemingly heating up in October at Janelle Monáe's concert.

While there was no PDA at the show, the outing raised eyebrows ... especially considering Lupita called it quits with her BF, Sal Masekela, the same day ... and swiftly deleted all traces of him from her IG.

"Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro is closing up shop in Santa Monica ... shuttering his brick-and-mortar operation and pivoting to online orders only.

Buddy owned Carlo's Bake Shop on the famous Santa Monica Promenade, but it closed this week for good ... and there's a sign on the door announcing a public auction for all the store equipment.

Folks at Carlo's Bake Shop tell TMZ … the Santa Monica location decided not to renew the lease as it shifts towards an e-commerce business strategy.

We're told the bakery was doing more sales for online orders in recent years particularly in California, with fewer customers actually coming by the storefront, even for folks requesting deliveries nearby.

Buddy's not leaving the traditional bakery setup altogether though ... it sounds like this is limited to Santa Monica.

We're told there's a new Carlo's Bake Shop opening this December in New York City's Times Square ... which BV feels will attract locals and tourists. There's certainly a lot of foot traffic.

El "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro está cerrando su tienda en Santa Mónica.

Buddy era dueño de Carlo's Bake Shop en el famoso paseo marítimo de Santa Mónica, pero cerró esta semana para siempre y hay un cartel en la puerta anunciando una subasta pública de todo el equipo de la tienda.

La gente de Carlo's Bake Shop le dice TMZ la ubicación de Santa Mónica decidió no renovar el contrato de arrendamiento ya que está cambiando hacia una estrategia de negocio de comercio electrónico.

Nos dicen que la panadería estuvo haciendo más ventas para los pedidos en línea los últimos años, especialmente en California. Hay menos clientes que realmente vienen a la tienda, incluso hay personas que solicitan entregas que viven cerca.

Buddy no está dejando la panadería tradicional por completo, aunque parece que esto se limita a Santa Mónica.

Nos han dicho que Carlo's Bake Shop abrirá en diciembre en Times Square, Nueva York, y cree quepodría atraer clientes locales y turistas. Ciertamente hay un montón de tráfico peatonal.

2:53 PM -- TMZ Sports spoke with Ike about his big pitch to Shohei Ohtani ... and while he hasn't heard from the athlete just yet, he said he's been getting a ton of positive feedback from Giants fans for his efforts.

Ike says if he really does sign with S.F., he's fully willing to change EVERY Ike's location in America in honor of the Shohei ... which he estimates would cost him around $500k, but would be totally worth it.

Ike also spoke more about Kevin Durant's current status with his chain ... and he said the Phoenix Suns hooper STILL gets free sandwiches to this day even though he no longer plays for the Warriors -- so keep that in mind, Shohei!!

San Francisco fans are desperate to get Shohei Ohtani to sign with their beloved team ... with one supporter going as far as offering the MLB superstar free sandwiches for life AND a complete rebranding of his shop if he joins the Giants in free agency!!

Ike Shehadeh -- diehard Giants fan and founder of the Ike's Love & Sandwiches chain -- laid out his terms in a social media post this week ... saying if the two-time MVP ditches the Los Angeles Angels for S.F. this offseason, he'll hook him up with unlimited grub and his own signature menu item.

Ike -- who made similar offers to guys like Kevin Durant and Aaron Judge in the past -- took it one step further for the Japanese sensation ... saying he will also change the naming rights of his establishment to "Shohei's Love & Sandwiches" if he takes his talents to the Bay Area.

The sandwich guru even started the brainstorming process on what Ohtani's own item would look like ... taking inspiration from the Giants' orange and black colors to create a tasty steak and barbeque combo.

The Giants are among the possible realistic landing spots for Ohtani ... with the Dodgers, Mets, Cubs, Rangers and pretty much any other team that can afford him expected to enter the race.

Ohtani is reportedly slated to get at least half a billion dollars with his new deal, so he may not be worried too much about the sandwich offer ... but hey, ya can't knock the dude for trying!!

The Weeknd ha hecho un gran gesto para apoyar los esfuerzos humanitarios en Gaza, donando 2,5 millones de dólares para proporcionar 4 millones de comidas de emergencia.

El cantante, que también es Embajador de Buena Voluntad del Programa Mundial de Alimentos (WFP en inglés) de las Naciones Unidas, hizo la donación a través de su Fondo Humanitario XO, en beneficio de los esfuerzos de respuesta humanitaria del WFP en Gaza.

La donación equivale a cuatro millones de comidas de emergencia. Esto es apoyo económico para financiar 820 toneladas métricas de paquetes de alimentos que pueden alimentar a más de 173.000 palestinos durante dos semanas.

Desde que fue nombrado Embajador de Buena Voluntad (Goodwill Ambassador) en octubre de 2021, The Weeknd -cuyo nombre real es Abel Tesfaye- ha donado personalmente 1,8 millones de dólares a la misión mundial de alivio del hambre del WFP a través de su Fondo Humanitario XO establecido en asociación con World Food Program USA.

La contribución de The Weeknd llega en un momento crítico, con el Programa intentando alimentar a más de un millón de habitantes en Gaza.

La Directora del WFP para la Región de Oriente Medio, Norte de África y Europa Oriental, Corinne Fleischer, agradeció a Abel por su contribución, diciendo: "Agradecemos a Abel por esta valiosa contribución hacia el pueblo de Palestina. Esperamos que otros sigan el ejemplo de Abel y apoyen nuestros esfuerzos".

The Weeknd has made a big move to help the humanitarian efforts in Gaza, donating $2.5M ... an amount that will help to provide 4 million meals.

The singer, who is also a United Nations World Food Programme Goodwill Ambassador, made the donation through his XO Humanitarian Fund ... benefiting WFP's humanitarian response efforts in Gaza.

The donation equates to four million emergency meals ... funding 820 metric tons of food parcels that can feed more than 173,000 Palestinians for two weeks.

Since being appointed a Goodwill Ambassador in October 2021, The Weeknd -- real name Abel Tesfaye -- has personally donated $1.8M to WFP's global hunger-relief mission through his XO Humanitarian Fund established in partnership with World Food Program USA.

The Weeknd's contribution comes during a critical time during the WFP's response efforts to feed more than one million Gazans.

WFP's Director for the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe Region, Corinne Fleischer, thanks Abel for his contribution ... saying, "We thank Abel for this valuable contribution towards the people of Palestine. We hope others will follow Abel's example and support our efforts."

¡Abran paso a la Sra. B! Lauren Sanchez salió a cenar con su multimillonario prometido Jeff Bezos y sus amigos el miércoles en Malibú, particularmente al restaurante Nobu, en donde lució una nueva y asombrosa pieza de joyería.

El anillo de compromiso de 20 quilates de la ex presentadora de televisión, según dicen los medios, costó $2.5M, y parece que no es suficiente para consolidar su futura unión, ya que decidió llevar un sutil collar de oro con el título de "Sra. B" también.

Si la "B" es por "Bezos" o por "multimillonario" sigue siendo un misterio, pero una cosa es segura, la cadena estaba poniendo toda la atención en su escote y complementando su atuendo completamente de negro, con un abrigo forrado de color rosa.

Lauren claramente está disfrutando cada momento de su compromiso. A principios de este mes posó para un anuncio de temática western con Jeff, y le dijo a la biblia de la moda que aún no han hecho ningún avance en la planificación de su boda.

Aunque podemos asumir que van a contratar a un equipo para que planifique el evento y orqueste diligentemente sus nupcias A-list, el dúo actualmente está absorto con la planificación de su mudanza dentro de Estados Unidos.

Jeff anunció recientemente sus planes de trasladarse a Indian Creek Island en Miami Beach y cerrar el capítulo de Seattle, donde fundó su icónica empresa de tecnología.

Make way for Mrs. B! Lauren Sanchez was out for dinner at Nobu in Malibu with her billionaire fiancé Jeff Bezos and pals Wednesday ... rocking a jaw-dropping new piece of bling.

The former TV anchor's 20-karat engagement ring -- reportedly worth $2.5M -- clearly isn't enough to cement their pending union ... as she took a subtle "Mrs. B" gold necklace out for a spin.

Whether the "B" symbolizes "Bezos" or "billionaire" remains a mystery ... but one thing's for sure, the chain was putting all focus on her decolletage ... complementing her plunging all-black look and pink-lined coat.

Lauren is clearly loving every moment of their engagement ... earlier this month she posed for a western-themed spread with Jeff, and told the fashion bible they haven't made any headway with wedding planning yet.

While we can only assume they'll hire a team of wedding planners to diligently orchestrate their A-list nuptials ... the duo is currently engrossed in planning a cross-country move.

Jeff recently announced their plans to relocate to Indian Creek Island in Miami Beach ... closing the chapter on Seattle, where the businessman founded his iconic tech company.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are seemingly back on track once again after an explosive fight prompted one of their kids to call the cops ... this time, grabbing some lunch together with plenty of laughs.

The former reality TV stars went out Wednesday to a Japanese steakhouse and sushi joint, Kani House, in Duluth, Georgia ... sitting down for lunch in front of the hibachi grill.

Kim documented the date for social media -- as usual -- mentioning Kroy while filming and asking why he doesn't do knife tricks in the kitchen like the hibachi chef. Kroy laughs from off camera, joking that's what he does when Kim's not around ... which could actually make sense given the fact they're supposed to stay separated in the house.

The hibachi chef also created a rice heart for Kim and Kroy ... and she loves it, calling it "cute."

In the clips, Kim and Kroy are both laughing and seem to be having a good time ... a stark contrast from last week, when cops responded to their home for an explosive fight in front of their kids.

As we've told you ... Kim and Kroy were bickering over finances for weeks before things reached a boiling point, fighting after a seemingly nice public outing with their kids.

The estranged couple's in dire financial straits, but we've seen them go out for fancy dinners amid their money woes and nasty divorce ... and this seems to be a similar situation.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están aparentemente en marcha una vez más, después de que una explosiva pelea provocara que uno de sus hijos llamara a la policía. Esta vez, compartieron un almuerzo juntos con un montón de risas.

Las ex estrellas de reality shows fueron a un restaurante japonés este miércoles, llamado Kani House, en Duluth, Georgia y se sirvieron una parilla hibachi para almorzar.

Kim documentó la cita en sus redes sociales, como de costumbre, mientras filmaba a Kroy y le preguntaba por qué no hacía unos trucos con el cuchillo de cocina como el chef hibachi. Ahí, Kroy se ríe fuera de cámara y bromea que eso es lo que hace cuando Kim no está cerca, lo que podría tener sentido dado que deberían estar separados en casa.

El chef hibachi también creó un corazón de arroz para Kim y Kroy, lo que a ella le encantó y calificó como "lindo".

En los clips, ambos Kim y Kroy están riendo y parecen estar pasando un buen rato, algo que contrasta con lo ocurrido la semana pasada, cuando los policías respondieron a una llamada de sus hijos por una explosiva pelea en casa.

Como les hemos contado, Kim y Kroy venían discutiendo sobre sus finanzas en las semanas previas a que las cosas llegaran a un punto de ebullición. La pelea también se dio después de una aparentemente agradable salida pública con sus hijos.

La pareja separada está en graves apuros financieros, pero los hemos visto tener varias cenas de lujo en medio de su desagradable divorcio, y esto parece ser algo similar.

Jonathan Majors is finding comfort in the arms of his girlfriend, Meagan Good, just one day before he's set to appear in front of a jury for the start of his criminal trial.

The embattled actor -- who's been charged with harassment and assault in the Big Apple after allegedly putting hands on his ex, Grace Jabbari, earlier this year -- was cuddling up with MG out in the streets of NYC Tuesday.

The two grubbed at Jack's Wife Freda ... and as you can see in these photos, obtained by TMZ, they were showing off a lot of love and PDA.

Meagan and Jon, who were both wearing all black, nuzzled one another in the street outside the restaurant ... and eventually switched positions a bit, to where JM had his arm draped around his lady with her back leaned up against him.

Safe to say, these pictures are worth more than a thousand words, especially ahead of such a big day for him and, arguably, his reputation and career down the line ... showing Meagan is standing by Jonathan amid this tumultuous time.

Meagan has been by Jonathan's side pretty much throughout his criminal case ... which is interesting, considering their relationship kinda came out of nowhere, right on the heels of the ugly allegations hurled against him.

Remember, Jabbari alleges she and Jonathan got into an argument back in March -- and claims things got physical ... to the point where she says he struck her, and caused injuries.

He's denied any such attack ... in fact, he claims it was actually Jabbari who got physical with him -- not the other way around. Jabbari actually ended up getting arrested and booked well after the initial incident ... but the D.A. refused to prosecute.

Majors' team has pointed to surveillance footage of Jabbari partying after the alleged beating she claims she took from JM ... and they say she looks completely uninjured/unbothered.

Jonathan Majors está encontrando consuelo en los brazos de su novia, Meagan Good, justo un día antes de comparecer ante un jurado por el inicio de su juicio penal.

El asediado actor, que ha sido acusado de acoso y asalto en la Gran Manzana después de supuestamente poner las manos sobre su ex Grace Jabbari a principios de este año, se acurrucó con Meagan en las calles de Nueva York este martes.

Los dos tortolitos estuvieron en Jack's Wife Freda y como se puede ver en estas fotos, obtenidas por TMZ, estaban demostrándose un montón de cariño en público.

Meagan y Jon, que iban vestidos de negro, se estuvieron acariciando en la calle afuera del restaurante y, finalmente, cambiaron de posición poco a poco. Jonathan Majors tenía su brazo alrededor de su dama con la espalda apoyada contra él.

Es seguro decir que estas imágenes valen más que mil palabras, sobre todo cuando tiene un día tan importante por delante y, posiblemente, clave para su reputación y su carrera. Estas muestran que Meagan está del lado de Jonathan en este tumultuoso momento.

Meagan ha estado al lado de Jonathan prácticamente durante todo su caso criminal, lo cual es interesante, teniendo en cuenta que su relación comenzó un poco de la nada, justo en los talones de las acusaciones lanzadas en su contra.

Recuerden, Jabbari alega que ella y Jonathan se enzarzaron en una discusión en marzo, que luego se puso agresiva a tal punto que, ella dice que la golpeó y le causó lesiones.

Jonathan ha negado cualquier ataque. De hecho, afirma que en realidad fue Jabbari quien se puso violenta con él y no al revés. Jabbari acabó siendo detenida y fichada mucho después del incidente inicial, pero el fiscal se negó a procesarla

El equipo de Majors ha señalado que las imágenes de vigilancia muestran a Jabbari de fiesta completamente ilesa después de la supuesta paliza a manos de Majors.
